Thanks for that link. Regarding the List of Notable Family Prophesy chart and the entry for Single European currency called the Euro Unit, I would argue that it wasn't partially fulfilled because it wasn't a prophecy to begin with because Berg wasn't the first to use that term. I seem to recall reading somewhere that that term was in use prior to Berg using it. I'll see if I can find that reference.

Like all of his so called prophecies concerning the US dollar and other economic issues such as the Crash, I think it would be fairly easy to demonstrate that Berg simply plagiarised ideas from other analysts and writers. Especially in the years before the Internet, when most members had no access to outside information Berg simply regurgitated news he read into a format that reinforced his self-proclaimed powers of prophecy. And I use "regurgitated" purposely, because he was so found of saying that even his vomit, piss, shit, etc, was pure. Of course, he was speaking metaphorically, but truly, that's all his words amount to, a big pile of crap.

Regurgitation also reminds me of that process used by some animals to feed their young. They swallow the food and then regurgitate it in a form their young are able to digest. It disgusts me now to think that I swallowed Berg's crap.
