Nice derail you guys got going on here, but who knows someone can help out with the following (might be useful for other lurkers too):
I've got the feeling that reading Armstrong's articles/theories is valuable for an investor, however I feel a bit underqualified to understand all,
and therefore I'm reluctant to start shelling out for paid material.
Could anyone suggest what would be some good study material/starting points to ease into understanding the economic and maybe mathematical underpinnings of
his theories? My background is Computer Science, my understanding of economics is pretty basic.
Everything you need is available on his website. Start with 'Its Just Time'

And I wouldn't say this is entirely a 'derail'. Read thread start to finish. Some fascinating discussion in here. But you need to read a lot of Armstrong's writings to follow the myriad digressions.
