narrowspec, that's not exactly correct. The ban wasnt about flaming. It was more about unsubstantiated down ramping posts. But in one post Frankie did admit that his prediction was due in part to "Martin Armstrong's predictions" Tangrams did not delete that (see here.) On the 2 week ban, Tangrams said "I'll look into it, discuss it with the others and see what they say." Fair enough I guess.
I don't subscribe to Martin Armstrong's predictions. But I think we could be in for another crash soon. All past market crashes have had double or triple bottoms and I think Nov08 was not one of them. Rallies like this one could be about the shorters in the know getting set. Who knows? I think just one piece of bad news would be enough to crash it. IMO the best strategy is to be out or long on gold stocks.
