All of which he claims to have sourced from insiders at bilderberg meetings.
Its easy to call tops and bottoms in the markets when one has the inside track with Wall Street. The media is full of pundits and market analysts who have an uncanny knack for calling counterintuitive trends. Some are just very perceptive - and some are spoon fed advance information of engineered take downs or pump and dumps by the big investment banks... when it serves their agendas.
The housing bubble burst was called by GATA and their subscription newsletter, Le Metropole Cafe, back in 2004, just as was the derivatives bubble which created the 2008 collapse. But they are a network of brilliant people and not one guy working alone. The markets are all rigged these days and perception management is all that matters to those at the highest levels. Respected market analysts, for example Dennis Gartman, can be counted on to talk-the-book of their most powerful patrons (GS, JPM, etc), and still offer enough valid advice to keep their subscribers and themselves profitable.
I learned several years ago that TA was no longer a reliable tool in manipulated markets, but recently fundamentals are also no longer of any use. These days its safest to just go long DOW and US$ and short gold/silver on days when Obama, Bernanke or Geithner are addressing the public/congress or G20, G8 type confabs are being held. This seldom fails. They can levitate failing markets and currencies at will.
Estulin may be the real deal, but he is not making any calls that others haven't also made earlier. Its not hard to be right when you are given advance peeks at the script. Given all of the other things we are seeing about Estulin, he is likely just another well paid bit actor.
If he wasn't, there are a lot of "unfortunate accidents" just waiting to happen...OSIT.
