This is a special page about a single book. See everything at About Martin Armstrong’s Books.
If you have ever visited Martin Armstrong's public blog , you might have seen him mentioning "The Greatest Trade of the Century", a slingshot type of move, on the stock market. The only problem is that Martin Armstrong used similar wording describing a Gold price movement earlier, as the "Buy of the Century". Armstrong, in attempt to mesmerize his readers, uses these sensational words "of the Century".
Martin Armstrong wrote a report with the title "The Greatest Trade of the Century". This report was announced here and handed out at his 2018 WEC (World Economic Conference) for the year, and it was published online on Martin Armstrong's public web site.
This report, due to its size and prominence, is a fairly representative sample of his collection of reports and books. It is available from
his public web site here, and in case he deletes it, it is also available from
the public internet archive.
Like every single paid report (on gold, stocks, etc) that Armstrong published, the content is about 99% historical facts and opinions, an incoherent collection of anecdotes and 1% "forecast". I wouldn't bother wasting the time to read through the entire report. Simply jump to the conclusion section. There is essentially ZERO tradable information that can be used to produce profits. Which is remarkable given the title which is quite unambiguous.
You can surely purchase any other reports from Armstrong's store, but I can almost guarantee that the content percentage will be extremely similar.
To be more precise, for this particular 280 page report, there is 1 page of conclusion, that has ZERO information on any time-frame for any trades. So that's 0.36% of "forecast" from the "legendary forecaster" Armstrong, and 99.64% of historical facts and opinions.
I cannot really find the right word to describe such "report". Everyone wants to know what's the "Greatest Trade of the Century", on when/what to buy and sell. If I want to learn about history, I can just grab a history book. Why pay some $3000 WEC ticket to get this report that essentially said nothing? Maybe this is false advertising on Armstrong's part?
At this point in time (November 11 2020), this electronic copy with the same watermark ID as the public copy is sold on eBay for US$199 + US$ $35.10 shipping :

Well, this is obviously not true. Compare the watermark: In both cases: WEC #542

Bobby appears to be one of Martin Armstrong's YouTube shill accounts - Bobby has been promoting Armstrong on YouTube since 2014.
