Martin A. Armstrong is the number-one forecaster in foreign exchange, often called "The Legend" for his accurate predictions. He has been summoned for nearly every currency crisis since the 1974 fall of Franklin National Bank, including the end of the Bretton Woods System. He advised the Reagan administration on the formation of the Plaza Accord of 1985 and the Brady Commission on the stock market crash of 1987. For fifty years, Mr. Armstrong has had a front-row seat to the chaos of financial markets. He also founded AE Global Solutions, Inc. and Armstrong Economics.His most impressive accomplishment is creating the only fully functional Artificial Intelligence (AI) computer that monitors the entire world. His computer correctly forecasted the fall of communism in 1989 and the Russian bond defaults of 1998 that the London Financial Times announced on their front page two months in advance. The New Yorker published an article on his work, calling his discoveries "The Secret Cycle." He named his life's work in AI Socrates after the man persecuted for knowing too much.Mr. Armstrong's programming skills and real-life trading experience enabled him to create a computer that institutions have relied upon in times of crisis. Originating from his passion for researching monetary history and a determination to harness the power of computers and artificial intelligence, he built an innovative collection of proprietary models that help identify market patterns in an unbiased, data-driven approach void of human prejudices. He provides a public service blog at ArmstrongEconomics.com that is completely free to ensure that his findings are available around the world. The models developed by Martin Armstrong since the 1970s have produced one of the most astonishingly consistent track records over decades. The key has been to distance forecasts as much as possible from opinion, which is far too fallible. His secret to success is observing history, time, patterns, and price to forecast the future accurately.
