Thank you Over45 for answering in a clear and concise manner. Seriously.
I'm not a goldbug either and I appreciate your point of view on gold.

However......(I'm not trying to make this a hit piece. Please don't take it that way. I'm looking for answers).

I am using that particular period of time, and those PUBLIC blog posts at that time,  to get to a precise question, one that I sort of made in my previous post.

If Socrates can predict events to the day, why did Mr Armstrong post, at least 3 times in the PUBLIC blog that gold was going to drop under 1000? ......he did not say that gold should drop in the future, he said he was convinced that gold would go under 1000 sometime in the beginning of 2016. It didn't. Why?

Since Socrates is supposedly perfect in predicting events, what did it say at that time frame, end of 2015 to Jan/Feb of 2016, about gold? Did it say it would drop under 1000 as Mr A suggested several times in the PUBLIC blog?
Did Socrates change it's mind at some point? If the computer saw a bullish change in golds trend, (we have to assume the computer saw a bearish trend in gold since Mr A was calling for gold under 1000), why didn't Mr A say so on the PUBLIC blog? He made it very public that in his opinion gold should drop, but he did not publicly change that point of view at any time on his public blog until June, 6 months later. After the fact.
That lack of information about gold and it's trend at that time financially hurt a lot of folks who read the public blog because they...we believed that he was what he said he was, had a machine that does what he says it does, and relied on him to give us the information he got from his, event predicting to the day, machine.
I know he does not post trading ideas on the public blog any longer, but at that time he did.

Maybe these are more rhetorical questions that you cannot answer Over45, but if you can shed any light that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,
