Martin Armstrong, once a US based trillion dollar
financial advisor, developed a computer model based on the number pi
and other cyclical theories to predict economic turning points with
eerie accuracy.
In the early 80s, he established his financial
forecasting and advising company Princeton Economics. His forecasts
were in great demand worldwide.
As Armstrong’s recognition grew, prominent New York
bankers invited him to join "the club" to aid them in
market manipulation. Martin repeatedly refused. Later that same year
(1999), the FBI stormed his offices confiscating his computer model
and accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi scheme.
Was it an attempt to silence him and to prevent him from
initiating a public discourse on the real Ponzi Scheme of debts that
the world has been building up for decades?
Armstrong
predicts that a sovereign debt crisis will start to unfold on a
global level after October 1, 2015 – a major pi turning point that
his computer model forecasted many years ago.

“Armstrong
is the developer of the Economic Confidence Model based on business
cycles and pi. He is known for claiming to have predicted the crash
of 1987 to the very day. Using his theory that boom-bust cycles occur
once every 3,141 days (the number pi multiplied by 1000), Armstrong
claimed in 1999 to have predicted the Nikkei's collapse in 1989 and
Russia's financial collapse in 1998.”
“Armstrong's
theory was first applied in 1977, when he used it to successfully
predict an upturn in the price of commodities. The theory is based on
a list of historical financial panics, producing a frequency of 8.6
years. Armstrong concluded that a wave of 8.6 years moved through
larger waves building in intensity amounting to six waves of 8.6
years constructing a major long wave of 51.6 years.”
“Armstrong's
cycle was called the 'secret cycle' by the New Yorker. In Time
magazine, Justin Fox wrote that Armstrong's model 'made several
eerily on-the-mark calls using a formula based on the mathematical
constant pi.' Barron's noted the model called for a change in
sentiment in June 2011.”
“Armstrong's
forecast was covered by the London Financial Times on June 27, 1998
where Barry Riley wrote on the front Page 2nd Section: 'Martin
Armstrong, at Princeton Economics, warns that an imminent Russian
economic collapse is a bigger threat to the rest of Europe than the
Asian slump.'”
