He said the rates would rise starting from 2013 and "The longest would be 2015." Well, the rates not only not rising, they keep falling

Interest rates have nowhere to go in the longer-run except up, you idiot. Armstrong has predicted what any rational individual could predict and he had expected that the FED will fulfill its duties.
Even Armstrong couldn't imagine that the sockpuppets of Goldman Sachs in the FED and ECB are so corrupt that they keep the interest rates so long so low. That is unprecedented you idiot - don't expect Armstrong can second guess the most corrupt and dishonest institutions of our age, the FED and ECB.

...Furthermore, MA claims that there are no manipulations, markets can't be rigged, etc...

You're so full of shit.

First of all you know damn well Martin's comments about manipulations are derived out of debates about the gold and silver markets. Even then, he didn't say "there are no manipulations", he simply said there are no manipulations that could ever come close to changing the overall trend. When it comes to interest rates he has ALWAYS said the real manipulators are congress and the Fed, but even they can't control the economy over the long term.

Second of all if you actually understood his work you would know that when he talks about interest rates he is referring to rates according to the market not according to what central banks try to manipulate them at. Here is his post about interest rates from January 2013, you'll notice there is a graph of 10 Year Bond Yield rates at the beginning of the post. This is what Armstrong is talking about, interest rates according to the MARKET (AKA according to reality).

"Everything is pointing to a turn in interest rates in 2013."

A TURN in interest rates, not an EXPLOSION. If you look at graphs of 10 year, 5 year, 2 year, 1 year, and 6 months bond yields you will notice that with the exception of the 10 year, they all have failed to exceed the lows they made around 2013. The longer the maturity, the longer it takes for the rates to turn. That doesn't change the fact that the ship began to turn around 2013.

you sheep come with all sorts of excuses to justify your stupidity and deny facts and the reality. I described it here

You (and I dont mean you personally because I dont give a damn about you. I mean delusional and gullible idiots like yourself who exist only for getting ripped off by charlatans like MA) refuse to hear the truth because:
1. You paid money for MAs totally worthless reports and subscriptions full of wrong predictions, so for you its really hard to admit that you wasted your money and proved beyond all doubts your stupidity to everybody including MA. Its like going to a standup comedy show. You go there thinking its going to be great. But very soon you realize that is not and you dont find it funny. But nevertheless you laugh because you want to get something back on your wasted money. And most importantly, deep inside you dont want to confess to yourself that you got fucked because it hurts your ego and self-esteem, thats why you pretend its funny and you lie to yourself.
2. In this complex and uncertain world absolute majority of people seek guidance, somebody to tell them what to do, what to think, etc. Somebody who can explain them things for they are not able to do so themselves. Its like a blind who needs a guide-dog, like a child who asks his mommy whats this and whats that. Thats why throughout the whole history charlatans like MA have been popular. From voodoo shamans, oracles and priests of ancient Egypt to these days, they all appeal to peoples insecurities, exploit their weaknesses and emotions, not their reasoning. And when somebody tries to open their eyes with facts, people reject them. Not based on facts or reasoning, but because of their stupidity, deep insecurities, and fears. For people dont want to lose that feeling of false protection, they prefer to remain in that sweet delusion that theres somebody that would walk them through uncertainties. And when they think they found that somebody, they dont want to lose him no matter what. But the hard reality is that there is no such person and never existed. Hello! You have to work yourself or you'll be getting fucked by armstrongs and the likes.

and some variation of it is called Stockholm syndrome. I feel pity for you.

In all his bs predictions MA always refers to 10Y bonds, ok? Even in your example he shows 10Y bond chart, so don't try to defend your stupidity by using such cheap tricks. And 10Y yields are falling and at all time low, contrary to yet another failed armstrong's forecast. Don't forget, he has been telling his clients to stay away from bonds for years. And in the meantime, they turned out to be one of the best performing assets. Just like with gold, he has been short on gold below 1000 and? Gold is near 1400. And he is still in denial both on bonds and on gold.

And just like his drooling sheeps, he never admits any of his countless mistakes. All sorts of excuses, lies, twisting facts, denial, shifting dates, flip-flopping, blaming politicians, the Fed, etc. It's always something or somebody else, and never him.

why waste your time on sheepies who refuse to even formulate their own investment thesis? they will be truly lost without their MA shepherd master.... if the sheepies on this thread are really that smart & have real analytical abilities (instead of playing with words & Shakespeare play analysis), why would they need MA to constantly brainwash them on a daily basis... & quote forecasting b.s for the holy grail.
