Hi Marketslayer,
After doing some research, it seems that the experts are usually about two years early. I subscribed to Tom McClellan's site for a while in 2015 and I remember him saying that the top was going to be in that year. He's changes his mind since then, to the best of my recollection he sees us going up till 2018.
I find that there is a huge difference in Gameover and the other posters you mention. I have been lurking here since the mid 2000's - lurking mostly as my understanding of the markets is vastly inferior to posters like Fib and Semibizz. I have learned a ton about technical analysis from both of them just following them here. Most people don't know this, but Fib gave a free (yes, free) technical analysis tutorial in the form of a chat on his site for many years running. It was twice a week for a couple of hours. The man is stupendous and I hate to see him knocked about here.
Mss, bluster (who has often been amazingly accurate and yes, he's made some wild predictions), OEXchaos, Rogerdodger, Mr. Dev, sentient one, arbman, pisces, tsharp, Geoman, Gannman, chilidawgz...pretty much everyone here has posts of theirs stashed away in my hard drive. I take them out and study them once in a while. When I think of the amount of energy it took them to post charts, put their thoughts into clarity, check for spelling, etc., I am stunned at the sheer kindness of it all. It's been a great blessing to me in my life.
Then you have someone like Gameover who comes here with his 'contacts' and just from sheer persistence, has gained some cachet.
I think he should pay me my money.
