Hello all:
New to the forum. Glad to be here. Read several of the pages on this thread. From what I have read it seems many are strong supporters of MA and others think he is a crock and a crook. I'm kind of in the middle. Have been following his blog for a couple of years and even purchased a thing or two. I believe there is something very useful to his forecasting but I put the most credence in his big picture long term views and less in his timing. I've seen too many of his shorter term predictions fail to come to pass. Can't think of many instances in the last two years where he has been out right wrong, seems more like what he has forecast just maybe hasn't occurred yet (time will tell). He has stated that short term timing is way more difficult than getting the big picture right and I tend to believe him. Using just one of his big picture predictions has been very profitable for me over the last year and a half (rising US dollar) so this alone makes me a bit of a fan.
