Hi StOat

Sure I have considered that but when a clear prediction is made (even if it is for free on the blog) I expect that MA's intent is not to try to deceive readers. If that were the case then that would make him simply dishonest and I very much doubt that he is. One example would be what he wrote almost a year ago regarding the imminent demise of the Euro suggesting it would likely soon be heading into free fall. I believe he is right long term but shorter term he wasn't right. In fact, he recently blogged that the Euro was doomed in the future but that it wasn't ready to fall yet and then quoted the old saying, something along the lines of "rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated". In other words it ain't likely to happen very soon. I just want to see things as they really are and not as I hope they will be (MA predictions, not the Euros demise). So far I haven't seen a consistent enough track record from him regarding shorter term predictions and that is really what the Trader service, he will soon be offering, is mostly about. I really hope that the reservations I hold will be proven wrong. Again, proof is in the pudding and at this point the pudding doesn't taste quite right to me.
