The Armstrong bashers here seem to think Armstrong has to base all of his forecasts on facts that he alone develops.  He is a student of history and uses history as his guide.  It's the same way anyone learns - they listen, read and take in information from people that were there before them.

I will bet you all of the bashers here read his blog regularly and gain good information and have profited from it.  You may have the time to do god knows how many hours of research to come up with similar resources and facts - but would you know where to look or reach a similar conclusion without reviewing his writings or forecasts ?  He was predicting what is happening now - fairly accurately - 30 years ago.  He wrote the Greatest Bull Market in History probably before some here were born.

He and Socrates are not perfect.  No one can be.  But bashing someone who clearly knows one hell of a lot more that you do - and has the work history, following, and money to prove it - makes you look jealous and petty.  If you think you know more than he does - start your own investment firm/ai company and convince sovereign wealth funds and billionaires to put their money in your care.  Good luck with that...
