Hello

How times have changed versus 4 years ago. Back then if you came on this site and were at all critical of MA you got
lambasted by the MA fanboys of that time. (I know because I got jumped on and called several different things)
Now if you point out anything positive about MA you get lambasted by those that bought into every aspect of his service
and got burned. I don't think most of MA's haters are here to help save others but more likely on here because both their
pocketbooks and their egos took a big hit, They assumed that his shorter term investing advice was worthy of risking their
money and bought in big time. Time and price they shouted. What are you too dumb to understand, they said? They were
right, I couldn't make enough sense of it that I was going risk my money on it. I am very glad common sense kicked in.

BTW where are you guys now? TPTB need war(ego maniac), AltcoinUK, Stoat and others. Shouldn't you be on here bragging about all
of your successes? Suspect some of those people are the haters now posting under a new handle.

Having said all that, I believe, as I did then, that you ignore MA's longer term views at your own peril. He has been very right on
many of his long term big ticket projections. Nobody can reasonably dismiss his timing on this recent market collapse. For sure he
underestimated the depth of the decline but he nailed the timing. My understanding is that he is now calling for the bottom
to be April 17th. We will see how that plays out.

Its too bad that chest beating seems to predominate on here instead of more useful discussion. I think Bradfromearth nailed it in
his Mar 17 post.  Be clever enough to determine what is of value to you from what is being offered and use that to your advantage and
discard the rest. That is the trick in my opinion and what separates success from failure.
MA is a very good resource if you are a long term investor but not so good (at least in my view) if you are a trader.
I know that many on both sides would disagree with that. So be it.
Over the years I bought 2 or 3 of his reports and signed up to his $15 service for a year or so (quit when he stopped allowing access to the private blog)
until it became clear to me that neither was really helping me much. I still read his blog almost everyday and that along with updates from others seems to suffice
for the time being.

One other thing, I was somewhat surprised to discover that two different "significant" fund managers that I was speaking to recently pay a fair bit of
attention to what MA has to say. They didn't use his advice verbatim but they definitely respected what his forecasts had to say.
