I've read a couple of his books along with the likes of Peter Schiff and a number of those charlatans. He's a salesman nothing more. For some reason I'm still on his email list and occasionally for a laugh I'll have a read. Filled with lines such as "...Harry is the only one who can predict this coming financial calamity". I kid you not, straight quote.
He's a pure salesman. About the only thing he has been right about in his recent prediction is the collapse in commodity prices.
