Martin Armstrong Discussion

[thatbluedude]

FYI since I didn't see it mentioned:
It seems armstrongs subscription model has changed. It looks like there is now one investor level account at 150$ with global coverage instead of three regions at 150$ each. If so thats great since 450$ p.a. imo wasn't "no man left behind" like initially promised.

[DigiLab]

I have Investor level for some time now, and yes, there was a change where regional subscriptions have been condensed to a single site membership. My original intention of subscribing was to be a small sign of gratitude for all the work that MA has done (and still doing), and more importantly, that he is willing to share it publicly. I learned (understand more importantly) so much about economics by reading his blog, and my starting point on economics was absolute beginner.

But this guy just doesn't stop to amaze me. I was following Socrates on irregular level, since I didn't understand much in the beginning. But in the same time, as time was allowing, I started to educate myself on the actual modelling that MA is doing. And it's not a trivial thing to understand. Lately I started to have a grasp of what MA is actually doing with his modelling, and I can start to imagine the amount of work that MA has put into it. And from my point of view, it's monumental.

From where I sit now, if I decide to put some money in trading, I wouldn't think twice to subscribe to the Trader level, which is still not available. I would love to put my hands on the information for the Reversals coupled with the Timing Arrays. Since one without the other, doesn't quite provide that much of a view.
If one by subscribing expects to receive straight forward guidance to buy, or sell, then forget about it. I wouldn't recommend to subscribe, since one can get disappointed, and maybe come back and bash on MA.
But, if one puts an effort in order to UNDERSTAND what MA and his modelling is about, then that will separate the men from the boys. Pls be aware though, it's not a trivial process, at least not for me, .

I'm assuming that information for the Reversals and the Timing Arrays are only available to MA's clients. Also I'm wondering, has maybe MA sometimes in the past published publicly the fixed frequencies of the transverse waves for some of the markets.

Understanding Armstrong is indeed NOT a trivial process, DigiLab.   

*   *   *

Switching ideas for a moment, a reader of Armstrong just asked if terrorist strikes come in waves:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/is-there-a-frequency-to-terrorism/

Armstrong essentially says "yes" in that there is some cyclicality, but of course not exactly nor where the terrs would strike.  Some time cyclicality might be expected as after a bombing (etc.), a cell would need some time and resources before striking again.

I wonder if Armstrong might look harder into this topic?

He needs to put out a course teaching all of these concepts. For me, I understand economics, business, investing fairly well I think, but I'm a bit lost on his explanations because it's just tidbits all over his blog. I believe he is actually putting out a video series, which I am looking forward to.

Boomers in denial and state of disbelief...

"The West is dying and will go over the cliff in 2018"

BS my friend. Please don't go around shouting that the sky is falling.

The failure of the West is baked in due to the requirement to finance socialism. Asia and the developing world doesn't have this dead weight, which is why it will scale faster. The West has significantly greater hi-tech productivity, but unfortunately socialism is at a bankrupt crossroads and it needs to go, but politically it can't go. So the government is going to likely destroy its own hi-tech sector by for example requiring a backdoor on encryption. Socialism will kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. As for the 2018 date, it is going to surprise many people and I was hoping you wouldn't be one of them. Who predicted this Muslim crisis in Europe? Who predicted the Ukraine crisis well before it was on anyone's radar? Who predicted the 2007 subprime crash back in the 1990s? Who predicted precisely the crash and rise again of the Japanese stock market in the 1980s?

Armstrong and his $billion investment in A.I. and collection of 6000 years of every relevant shred of data he could find. The man who purchased a bust of Julius Caesar and can rattle off details of human history that will make you dizzy.

HI all,

I am new - did a search about discussing MA and here I am. At times MA's blog posts seem as though he is talking in riddles (if this than this scenarios) So it can be very confusing.  

I have traded the markets for 20+ years and am looking for like minded individuals to share thoughts and views of the market with regard to his posts.

Has anyone thought of creating a dedicated forum to interpret each of his blog posts? With images of charts etc?

All the best!


Here is a look at the DOW.

MA's recent post stated, "When we look at the Dow Jones, here too we failed to exceed the Weekly Bullish at 17750 after reaching only 17648. Last week’s closing was 17602 and a lower closing today will warn that the advance is starting to fizzle out. We have not been able to exceed the downtrend line technically. A closing below 17124 would be an outright sell signal."

Interesting to note the weekly array he posted on March 11 showed a panic cycle for 03/21 (IMO this didn't play out) and also a directional change for the week of 03/28 with the highest 'Composite bar" of the weekly array for 03/28.

Likely we should see a decrease in the DOW into next week based on overhead resistance, a lower weekly close than last week, and MAs array.

That is an awful web site and you should feel bad.

That idea has floated here before. I assume that there are other people here (including myself) that would vouch for it.
But not all to the same extent I guess. And so far it is not realized.
Maybe it won't be bad to be made sort of a private discussion, so participants can feel a bit more without reserve to express their opinions.
And, most likely, it would be more efficient as well.

[DigiLab]

For those who want to UNDERSTAND MA's modelling, this is interesting:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/benchmark-cycles/

It says, "chapters illustrating the Benchmark Cycles". From that 2014 report, it would be very useful to have just that chapter on hand.
And I guess this is the metals report he is referring to:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/2014-international-precious-metals-outlook/

If someone still has this report on hand, and is willing to share just that chapter, in/under whatever fashion/condition, can send me a PM.

Armstrong comes out with a piece getting a LOT of notice:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/when-will-trump-be-assassinated/

It is typical of The-Powers-That-Be to assassinate serious threats to their power.  This one is getting a lot of notice, especially at Zero Hedge.

Should Trump be taken out, we ought not be surprised if there is a lot of violence thereafter...

Thanks Alex. Hope you get some useful contributions.

EDIT: BTW, you have spelt Martin as "Matrin" within the forum headings - just thought I'd point it out.

Maybe thats what Trump can be good for (atleast something) and being a catalyst for the revolution which upends the 1%

Armstrong comes up with a Triple Play of interesting nuggets today.

Arizona was rigged for Hillary (what a surprise):

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/2016-u-s-presidential-election/arizona-voter-fraud/

Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are the two most interesting political figures out there today.  The Elites hate them both:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/europes-current-economy/the-press-establishment-accuse-farage-trump-of-racism/

Armstrong writes that the Federal Reserve is the world's central bank:

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/fed-admits-it-is-the-worlds-central-bank-not-just-the-usa-central-bank/

Re No. 3 above, central banking is opaque, secretive and complex.  By design I'm sure.  Whether or not the Fed is the "world's central bank" and how that squares with the TWO institutions that already are thought of in that role is a matter too complex for me to comment on.  Those two institutions:

-- The International Monetary Fund  (Washington, DC.  The IMF loans money to countries in trouble and invented the SDR.)
-- The Bank for International Settlements  (Basel, Switzerland.  The central bankers meet there regularly to decide on policies.)

ISIS marching in Berlin warning Germans to stay in their homes or face jihad:

Here is what comes next:

It is ironic that the conditions setting up today were also the case in 1927. The Fed back then lowered U.S. rates to try to deflect the capital inflows to help bailout Europe. The markets eventually backfired and capital shifted. It poured into the USA and doubled the U.S. share market, despite doubling interest rates to try to prevent the crisis they helped to create. This all led to the 1931 sovereign debt crisis and those economic declines resulted in political chaos. In 1933, FDR came to power, but so did Hitler and Mao. That was all made possible because of the collapse in government debt. We are in the very same position today as the Fed is surrendering domestic policy objectives for international concerns.

Who says Armstrong's ECM is bullshit?

And the prior Pi turn date:

The Russian invasion into Syria on that precise day of September 30, 2015, highlighted the crisis that seems to be spreading from the Middle East.

His support of Trump is kind of disgusting to me
