I said many times, I am a big fan of MA, but I am starting to get fed up with these BS, such as the today blog posted by a "reader" at

"Can you elaborate on how these forecasts are even possible for
you obviously do what no one else has ever been able to accomplish?"
Why Armstrong needs this used car salesman approach is beyond my imagination.
Well, I have already explained it here:
What is also interesting is that he goes way out of his way to reinforce that idea of exclusivity of his analysis by keeping babbling about:
1. Unique computer model
2. Unique historic data that cost hundreds of millions
3. Unique approach etc
that you may wonder why? Looks like somebody is trying to sell you something, no? The reality is that nobody saw his computer (so it may very well be yet another bs), his data or anything. He claims that everybody sells you their newsletters, subscriptions etc. He is the only one who does not because he is filthy rich (in his own words "the markets have been like an ATM machine for me") and has a higher calling in life - to bring knowledge to the masses and all that. Yet he sells some bs dvds, reports, coins, etc, at exorbitant prices and charges thousands for conferences.
Something just does not add up here to say the least.
That salesman approach and all those empty claims as part of it are there for one reason only - to get your money (pretty much how he did it with the Japanese). Hence all those bs and lies with history and physics to create an image of a guru. Crooks never change - you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
