When we refer to the Jewish mafia, we are not pointing to religion. We deem religion in this discussion largely as a contributory although not necessary variable to qualify a Jewish individual as a member of the Jewish mafia. Note that we do not believe practice of Judaism to be a significant factor to qualify one to be a member of the Jewish mafia because the aspects of tribalism that come from Judaism are infused into Jewish youths. As adults many choose to not practice Judaism but all Jews maintain an intense sense of tribalism. When we refer to the Jewish mafia we are referring to the unique form of tribalism practiced by Jewish people. This tribalism is the most extreme in the world and is rooted in both the Jewish culture and Judaism.
It's important to understand that most Jewish people actually do not practice Judaism. A large percentage of Jewish individuals are either agnostic or atheists, while a significant portion practices Christianity. We have no religious interests whatsoever other than elements that intersect with the cultural aspects of those who practice a given religion.
We hold the view that all religions were created as a means to control large populations. Thus, we are not concerned with variations of different religions.
So what is the Jewish mafia? The Jewish mafia primarily comprises Jewish individuals, some of which are religious while others are not. We believe the main objective of the Jewish mafia is to enrich the lives of Jews by any means necessary. In addition to a wide range of criminal activities, the Jewish mafia has been able to create, remove and alter laws that enable them to game the system in a way that makes it difficult for their criminal activities to be discovered. At the same time, the Jewish mafia controls the judicial and legal system of the west enabling tribe members to escape prosecution. Finally, the Jewish mafia invariably behaves in a highly discriminatory manner against all gentiles in matters of business, commerce and finance in order to benefit their own interests as well as that of Jewish people.
A comprehensive definition of the Jewish mafia is beyond the scope of this discussion but we will provide a very brief overview. If a Jewish individual holds a prominent position in an industry that is dominated by the Jewish mafia we consider such individuals as members of the Jewish mafia. The media is a good example of this. In this instance we include only those individuals who work as producers, editors, directors and talking heads of the media.
However, there are some gentiles that we include as members of the Jewish mafia. In all cases, the gentiles included in the Jewish mafia are very influential and wealthy and are intermingled with Jewish interests through business and finance. Money rules these gentiles which is why they fail to see how they are damaging humanity, or else do not care that their greedy endeavors have created many grave consequences for the world. Although the most obvious qualification a Jew must possess to be a member of the Jewish mafia is a high status in business, finance, politics or high standing in any other field of influence, we consider any Jewish individual who serves as an apologist or denialist of the facts surrounding the actions and consequences of the Jewish mafia to also be a member.
"There are two sorts of wealth-getting, as I have said; one is a part of household management, the other is retail trade: the former necessary and honorable, while that which consists in exchange is justly censured; for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural object of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term interest, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of modes of getting wealth this is the most unnatural."
- Politics, Aristotle, 350 B.C.
"The Jew alone regards his race as superior to humanity, and looks forward not to its ultimate union with other races, but to its triumph over them all and to its final ascendancy under the leadership of a tribal Messiah."
- Goldwin Smith, The Jewish Question, October 1881
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
- President Woodrow Wilson 1916
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
- David Rockefeller, Baden-Baden, Germany 1991
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
- Henry Ford
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
- Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. House, November 21, l933
“One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order.”
- The National Educator, K.M. Heaton
"We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers for ever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands. We will for ever destroy because we need a world of our own, a God-world, which it is not in your nature to build."
- Maurice Samuels, You Gentiles, 1924
“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
- David Rockefeller
“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”
- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991
At every opportunity Jewish shills try to mask the Jewish mafia by spreading disinfo and distractions such as "the Jesuits are behind the New World Order." Of course this is comical.
I'm going to reveal something I've known for many years. The Catholic church has been powerless for several decades. This is a fact. The final blow to the Catholic church occurred when molestation lawsuits began to surface about three decades ago. The church has been in severe financial trouble since then. This is in fact how the Jewish mafia seized the final arm of control over the church, using its banks to finance the enormous financial awards for thousands of cases of sexual deviancy from Catholic priests.
But let's not forget that the world was a much different place when the Catholic Church actually had real power. Back then there were no banks or mass media. Remember that the Catholic Church was against Usury. But because the Catholic church was powerful prior to the emergence of banks and mass media, it is a well-known fact that the church had already been infiltrated by Jews. They are referred to as marano Jews.
"Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." –Mark Twain
If you want to begin to understand and appreciate the work of Mike Stathis, from his market forecasts and securities analysis to his political and economic analysis, you will first need to learn how to think clearly. For many, this will be a cleansing process that could take quite a long time to complete depending on each individual.
The best way to begin to clear your mind is to first move forward with this series of steps:
1. GET RID OF YOUR TV SET (at least cancel your cable)
2. REFUSE TO USE YOUR PHONE TO TEXT
3. DO NOT USE A "SMART PHONE" (or at least do not use your phone to access the internet)
4. STAY AWAY FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
The cleansing process will take time but you can hasten the process by being proactive in exercising your mind.
You should also be aware of a very common behavior exhibited by humans who have been exposed to the various aspects of modern society. This behavior occurs when an individual overestimates his abilities and knowledge, while underestimating his weaknesses and lack of understanding. This behavior has been coined the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" after to sociologists who described it in a research publication. See here.
Many people today think they are virtual experts on every topic they regard with relevance. The reason for this illusory behavior is because these individuals typically allow themselves to become brainwashed by various media outlets. The more information these individuals obtain on these topics from the media, the more qualified they feel they are in these subjects, without realizing that the media is not a valid source with which to use for understanding something. The media always has bias and can never be relied on to represent the full truth.
A perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect can be seen with many individuals who listen to talk radio shows. These shows are politically biased and consist of individuals who resemble used car salesmen more than intellectuals. These talking heads brainwash their audience with cherry-picked facts, misstatements and lies regarding relevant issues such as healthcare, immigration, Social Security, Medicaid, economics, science, and so forth. They also select guests for interview based on the agendas they wish to fulfill with their advertisers.
Once their audience has been indoctrinated by these propagandists, they feel qualified to discuss these topics on the same level as a real authority, without realizing that they obtained their understanding from individuals who are employed as professional liars and manipulators by the media. Another good example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect can be seen upon examination of political pundits, stock market and economic analysts on TV. They talk a good game because they are professional speakers. But once you examine their track record, it is clear that these individuals are largely wrong, but they have developed an inflated sense of expertise and knowledge on topics for which they continuously demonstrate their incompetence.
One of the most insightful analogies created to explain how things are often not what you see was Plato's Allegory of the Cave, from Book 7 of the Republic.
We highly recommend that you study this masterpiece in great detail so that you are better able to use logic and reason.Although we recommend you read and study The Allegory of the Cave, you can get a flavor for its meaning by watching the following video.
If you can learn how to think like a philosopher, specifically one of the great ancient Greek philosophers, it is highly unlikely that you will ever be fooled by con artists like those who make ridiculous and unfounded claims in order to pump gold and silver, the typical get-rich-quick or multi-level marketing (MLM) crowd.
If you want to do well as an investor then you must first understand how the various forces are all seeking to deceive and steal from you. Most people understand that Wall Street is looking to take their money, but do they really understand the means why which they achieve their objectives? Once you understand the various tricks and scams practiced by Wall Street you will be better able to avoid being taken.
Perhaps an even greater threat to investors is the financial media. The single most important thing all investors must do if they want to hope to become successful investors is to stay clear of all media. The various resources found within this website address these two issues and much more. You can have access to the best investment research in the world. But without an adequate understanding of how the parasites operate you will ultimately fail as an investor.
The Jewish mafia runs both Wall Street and the media. This cabal also runs many other industries. It is important to understand how this mob operates so that you can beat them at their own game. We devote a great deal of time and energy towards exposing the Jewish mafia in order to position investors with a higher success rate in achieving their investment goals.
Always remember the following quotes as they apply to the various charlatans positioned by the media as experts and business leaders.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
King James Bible - Matthew 7:15
"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." –Mark Twain
All Viewpoints Are Not Created Equal Just because something is published in print, online or aired in the broadcast media does not make it accurate. In fact, more often than not the larger the audience, the more likely the content is either inaccurate or slanted. The next time you read something about economics or investments, you should ask two main questions in order to assess the credibility of the source. Is the source biased in any way? That is, do they have any agendas which would provide any type of benefit accounting for their views? Most individuals either sell ads on their site or are dealers of precious metals or securities. That means their views are biased and cannot be relied upon.
The following is one of the first questions you should ask before giving any creedance to those who are positioned as experts.
Is your source is credible?
Most people associate credibility with name-recognition. But more often than not, name-recognition serves as a predictor of bias if not lack of credibility because the more a name is recognized, the more the individual has been plastered in the media. And every intelligent person knows that individuals who have been provided with media exposure because they are either naive or clueless. The media positions these types of individuals as “credible experts” in order to please its financial sponsors; Wall Street.
Instead of name-recognition or media celebrity status, you must determine whether your source has relevant experience on Wall Street as opposed to being self-taught. But this is just a basic hurdle that in itself by no means ensures the source is competent or credible. More important, always examine the track record of your source in depth, looking for accuracy and specific forecasts rather than open-ended statements. You must also look for timing since a broken clock is always right once a day. Finally, make sure they do not cherry-pick their best calls. Always examine their entire track record.
The above question requires only slight modification for use in determining the credibility of sources that discuss other topics, such as politics, healthcare, etc.We have compiled the most extensive publication exposing hundreds of con men pertaining to the financial publishing and securities industry, although we also cover numerous con men in the media and other front groups since they are all associated in some way with each other. There is perhaps no one else in the world capable of shedding the full light on these con men other than Mike Stathis. Mike has been studying the indistry for well over a decade. Alhough he has published numerous articles and videos addressing this dark side of the industry, the entire collection can be found in our ENCYCLOPEDIA of Bozos, Hacks, Snake Oil Salesmen and Faux Heroes.
At AVA Investment Analytics, we don't try to pump gold, silver or equities like many others you see because we are not promoters or marketers. And we do not receive any compensation whatsoever (including from ads) from our content. We provide individual investors, financial advisers, analysts and fund managers with world-class research, education and unique insight.
If you listen to the media, most likely it is costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost money at minimum over the course of your lifetime. The deceit, lies and useless guidance from the financial media certainly is a large contributor of these losses to the sheep you pay attention.
But a good deal of lost wealth comes in the form of excessive consumerism which the media seeks to impose on its audience. You aren’t going to know that you’re being brainwashed or that you have lost $1 million or $2 million over your life time due to the media, but I can guarantee you that with rare exception this is the reality for those who are naïve enough to waste time on the media.
It gets worse. By listening to the media, you are likely to also suffer ill health effects through the lack of timely coverage of toxic prescription drugs or through the ridiculous medical shows, all of which are supportive of the medical-industrial complex.
And if you seek out the so-called "alternative media" you might make the mistake of relying on con men like Kevin Trudeau or Alex Jones. This could be a deadly decision. As bad as traditional media is, the so-called "alternative media" is even worse.
Why Does the Media Air Liars and Con Men?
The goal of the media is NOT to serve its audience because the audience does NOT pay the bills.
The goal of the media is to please its sponsors, or the companies that spend huge dollars buying ads, and in order for companies to justify these expenses, they need the media to represent their cause. The media does this by airing idiots and con men who mislead and confuse their audience.
By engaging in "journalistic fraud," the media steers its audience into the arms of its advertisers because the audience is now misled and confused, so in the case of the financial media, it seeks the assistance of Wall Street brokerage firms, mutual funds, insurance companies, precious metals dealers. This is why advertisers pay big money to be promoted in the financial media.
We see the same thing on a more obvious note in the so-called "alternative media," which is really a remanufactured version of the so-called "mainstream media." Do not be fooled. There is no such thing as the "alternative media."
In order to be considered "media" you must have content that has widespread channels of distribution. Thus, all "media" is widely distributed and the same powers that control the distribution of the so-called "mainstream media" also control the distribution of the so-called "alternative media."
The claim that there is an "alternative media" is merely a sales pitch designed to capture the audience that has since given up on the "mainstream media." The tactic is a very common one used by con men.
The same tactic is used by Washington to convince naive voters that there are meaningful differences between the nation's two political parties. In reality, both parties are essentially the same when it comes to issues that matter most (trade policy, healthcare and war). Anyone who tells you anything different simply isn't thinking straight.
On this site, we expose the lies and the liars in the media. We discuss and reveal the motives and track record of the media’s hand-selected charlatans with a focus on the financial media.
No one has generated a more accurate track record in the investment markets over the past several years than Mike Stathis. Yet, the financial media wants nothing to do with Stathis. This has been the case from day one when he was black-balled by the publishing industry after having written his landmark 2006 book, America's Financial Apocalypse. From that point on, he was black-balled throughout all so-called mainstream media and then even the so-called alternative media.
With very rare exception, you aren't even going to hear him on the radio being interviewed.
You aren't going to see him mentioned on any websites either.
You won't read or hear of his remarkable track record unless you read about it on this website or read his books.
You should be wondering why this might be. Some of you already know the answer.
The media has banned Mike Stathis because the trick is to air clowns so that the audience will be steered into the hands of the media's financial sponsors - Wall Street and gold dealers.
And as for the radio shows and websites that either don't know about Stathis or don't care to hear what he has to say, the fact is that they are so stupid that they assume those who are plastered in the media are credible. And since they haven't seen or heard Stathis in the media, even if they come across him, they automatically assume he's a nobody in the investment world simply because he has no media exposure.
Well, if media exposure was a testament to knowledge, credibility and excellent track records, Peter Schiff's clients would be a lot happier when they looked at their account balance.
Others only care about pitching what’s deemed as the “hot” topic because this sells ads in terms of more site visits or reads. This is why you come across so many websites based on doom and conspiratorial horse shit run by con artists looking to cash in on ads.
We have donated countless hours and huge sums of money towards the pursuit of exposing the con men, lies and fraud. We continue this mission but we cannot continue it forever without your assistance.
We have been banned by virtually every media platform in the U.S and every website (mainly because we expose the truth about gold and silver).
We have been banned from use of email marketing providers.
The fact is that the Jewish Mafia has declared war on us because we have exposed the realities of the U.S. government, Wall Street and corporate America.
Note that we only began discussing the role of Jews in criminality by 2009, three years AFTER we had been black-listed by the media, so no one can say that our criticism of the Jewish Mafia has led to being black-listed, not that it would even be acceptable.
You can talk about the Italian Mafia, and Jewish Hollywood can make 100s of movies about it...
BUT YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE JEWISH MAFIA.
However, it's critical to note that the widespread ban on Mr. Stathis began well before he so much as mentioned the Jewish mafia or even Jewish control of any kind. It was in fact his ban that led him to realize precisely what was going on. You see, if you dare to expose Jewish control or anything under Jewish control, you will be black-balled by all media so the masses will never hear the truth. Because Mr. Stathis exposed so much in his 2006 book America's Financial Apocalypse, he was banned. He was banned for writing about the following topics in detail: political correctness, illegal immigration, affirmative action, as well as the economic realities behind America's disastrous healthcare system, the destructive impact of free trade, and many other topics in addition to having exposed the mortgage derivatives scam that would end of catalyzing the worst global crisis in history.
We rely on you to help spread the word about us. Just remember this. We don’t have to do what we are doing.
We could do as everyone else and focus on making money. We are doing sacrificing everything because in this day and age, unfortunately, the truth is revolutionary. It is also critical in order to prevent the complete enslavement of world citizenry.
Those With Significant Exposure Are NOT on Your Side. No one who has significant exposure can be trusted because those who are responsible for permitting such exposure have allowed it for a very good reason, and that reason does not serve your best interests. In short, everyone who has significant exposure has either been bought off by those seeking to distort reality, or else has bought off those who are providing the exposure for the purpose of selling snake oil.
Con Artists Like to Form Syndicates. Before the internet was born con artists were largely on their own. But once the internet popped up, con artists realized that digital connectivity could amplify their reach, mind control and thus money in their pockets by forming alliances with other con artists. Teaming up with other con artists leads to a significantly greater volume of content such that the suckers are more likely to remain within the web of deceit as well as being more convinced that their favorite con artist is legit.
Whenever you wish to know whether someone can be trusted, always remember this golden rule..."a man is judged by the company he keeps." This is a very important rule to remember because con men almost always belong to the same network. You will see the same con artists referencing each other, on blog rolls and so forth.
There's NO Free Lunch. Whenever something is marketed as being "free" you can bet the item or service is either useless or else the ultimate price you will pay will be much greater than if you had paid money for it in the beginning. Free emails, free social media use, free content is all complete garbage designed to obtain your data and sell it to digital marketing firms. From there you will be brainwashed with cleverly designed ads, you will be monitored and your identity wil eventually be stolen. Even Free Trade has been a complete scam.
Beware of Manipulation Using Word Games. When manipulators want to get the masses to side with their propaganda and ditch more legitimate alternatives they often select psychologically relevant labels to indicate positive or negative impressions. For instance, the financial parasites running America's medical-industrial complex have designated the term "socialized medicine" to replace the original, more accurate term, "universal healthcare" in order to sway the masses from so much as even investigating universal healthcare as the best system of medical care. When Wall Street wanted to convince the American people to go along with NAFTA, they used the term "free trade" to describe the current system of trade which has devastated the U.S. labor force. In reality, free trade is unfair trade and only benefits the wealthy. There are many examples of this play on words such as the "sharing economy" and so on.
Whenever Someone Promotes Something that Offers to Empower You, It's Usually a Scam. This applies to the life coaches, self-help nonsense, libertarian pitches, FIRE movement and so forth. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. We DO need government. And no, you can NOT become financially independent and retire early unless you sell this con game to suckers.

Featuring Mike Stathis, Our Chief Investment Strategist & Trading Analyst
We Are the Only Research Firm to Back Our Claims by $1 Million
As Well as the World's Top Investment Analyst and Market Forecaster
We Are Also the World's Leading Source Exposing Financial Charlatans & Media Manipulation
Mike Stathis was the ONLY person in the world to recommend in a book that investors should short subprime mortgage stocks in addition to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years before the financial crisis.
Mike Stathis was the only person who forecast the bottom in both the US real estate AND stock market, and did so years before these markets collapsed.
Mike Stathis is the only person in the world that predicted the financial crisis who also turned bullish at the market bottom, enabling his research clients to make HUGE gains.
In May 2008, he wrote his first article since his 2006 book where he advised investors to get out of the stock market, buy oil, gold and short the financials. See here.
Mike Stathis Has Been Banned by All Media Since 2006 Despite Holding
the World's Best Investment Forecasting Track Record Over that Period.
Do you want to know when the next recession or bear market is likely to appear?
Mike Stathis is the world's most qualified and credible person to answer this.
Mike Stathis was the ONLY person in the world to expose Bank of America's buyout of Merrill Lynch
in the fall of 2008 as a hidden bailout just days after the deal was announced. See here.
Mike was the ONLY person that predicted the stock market bottom even before it began its decline when he wrote the possibility of a collapse in the Dow to 6500 in his 2006 book America's Financial Apocalypse.
On March 9, 2009 with the Dow at 6500, Mike issued his first market buy recommendation since warning investors of the collapse. Only later would investors realize the 6500 mark was the bottom. See here.
Mike was the ONLY person to predict that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be bailed out by taxpayers. He made these forecasts in his 2006 banned book America's Financial Apocalypse.
He even instructed investors HOW and WHEN to short Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in addition to the subprimes, banks and homebuilders in his 2007 book. No one else made these recommendations which led to astounding profits. Yet, he remains banned while Jewish cons are promoted as experts.
Mike Stathis was the only person to expose the fraud behind the seizure of Washington Mutual by the OTC. See here for his complaint to the SEC.
Not long after he filed the report the OTC implicated Mike in white powder mailings to the Federal Reserve.
He was interrogated by the federal agents which caused him to delay release of the report by a year.
In 2010 Mike was contacted by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.
Once Mike told investigators why the crisis happened the FCIC dropped him from testifying.
All of this, yet Mike was completely black-balled by ALL MEDIA. Ask yourself why.
And then consider who the media promotes as "experts." Are you starting to see how things work?

Opening Statement from the September 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on September 15, 2019 On the brighter side, the US economy remains relatively strong, with robust consumer spending, very low unemployment, respectable GDP growth, low inflation and low interest rates. But even the US continues to weaken as a result of trade uncertainty in addition to the waning impact of the fiscal stimulus. Notably, the recent consumer sentiment data from August recorded a revised 3-year low. The earnings picture in the US has been solid but is facing trade-related headwinds in 2019. US corporate earnings thus far in 2019 have yielded no growth, but are expected to rebound in the second half of 2019. This in itself could add to the pessimism as we believe neither corporations nor analysts have adequately reduced earnings estimates to account for delays in trade resolution. Since the Federal Reserve Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time in a decade on July 31, 2019, we have seen no less than 16 other central banks cut rates. We believe this to be the beginning of what the future holds. In short, we expect several other nations to cut rates in the next two months. When the Fed meets on September 18, it could very well cut rates again. We believe another rate cut this soon would be a huge mistake because it would further accelerate the interest rate cut cascade seen throughout the globe. This could led to...
Opening Statement from the September 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on September 1, 2019 For the first time in several years we are now witnessing the convergence of numerous macro risk factors which have weighed on investor sentiment. While sentiment continues to be led primarily by trade disputes, Treasury yields and interest rates, geopolitical variables remain a significant concern. A rough assessment of the global macroeconomic landscape is indeed sobering. The European economy continues to weaken as a result of the Washington-Beijing trade dispute, but also due to social and political unrest. As a result, the ECB continues to extend the date of its first interest rate hike in more than a decade further into the future. In fact, in addition to an upcoming rate cut, we expect other economic stimulus to be announced. In 2018 we mentioned that Germany would be significantly impacted by a prolonged trade dispute between Washington and China, given its high dependence on trade with China (Intelligent Investor). This is in fact what has happened. Over the past year, Germany has reported two quarters of declining GDP growth. And it may well already be in a recession by the time GDP data has been revised. France is not doing much better. And of course Italy remains in deep trouble. The UK economy reported its first decline in GDP growth (q-o-q) in ten years while the pound continues to get hammered...
Opening Statement from the August 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on August 19, 2019 Global Rate Cuts Signals Problems As discussed in 2018, for the first time since the financial crisis central banks around the globe entered a trend of interest rate hikes. But things have reversed over the past couple of months, as we now see a trend of rate cuts. The Fed’s questionable rate cut serves as further impetus for central banks throughout the globe to cut rates. Recently, Brazil’s central bank announced a 50-basis point cut in the Selic rate pushing it to a new record low of 6.00 percent. Meanwhile, New Zealand cut rates by a larger than expected 50-basis points on August 7. The same day Thailand unexpectedly cut rates by 25-basis points to deal with a decline in export trade, India also slashed rates by 35-basis points, followed a day later by a 25-basis point cut in the Philippines. We believe there is a good chance the ECB will cut rates in September. And Japan’s central bank is also likely to cut rates in September. Even more pressure is being placed on the Fed to lower rates in 2019 considering the recent cut was largely based on escalating trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. As well, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield recently collapsed to 1.53 percent signaling a high chance of another cut in September. And there’s a good chance of two rate cuts for 2019. But if the Fed cuts rates in absence of supportive economic data, it could lead to major problems down the road. Moving forward, investors should focus more on the Fed’s communication as opposed to the economic data because monetary policy is no longer being “data driven.” It’s being determined based on speculation in addition to pressure from the White House. Stock Market Reacts to the Rate Cut Investors responded negatively to the Federal Reserve’s 25-basis point rate cut on July 31 by selling stocks. We believe the July rate cut had already been factored into the stock market during the weeks leading up to the FOMC meeting (“buy on the rumor”). Once Powell announced the rate cut, a “sell on the news” reaction caused investors to take profits. We discussed this scenario prior to the FOMC meeting (July 2019 Intelligent Investor & Market Forecaster and session 11 of the Securities Analysis & Trading Webinar). The day following the rate cut (Thursday, August 1) the selloff in stocks continued, but was exacerbated
Opening Statement from the August 2019 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on August 7, 2019 (pre-market release) Fed Cuts Rates Despite Lack of Sufficient Data On July 31, 2019 Fed Chairman Powell announced the most highly anticipated change in interest rates in more than a decade. With 100 percent of fed funds futures traders betting on a rate cut for several weeks prior to the Fed’s July FOMC meeting, the Fed did not disappoint when it announced a 25-basis point cut in the federal funds rate when it met. Notably, two fed officials were against cutting interest rates during the July meeting, making it the least agreed upon monetary policy action since Powell was appointed as chairman of the Fed. We believed rates would most likely be cut even though there was insufficient economic data to justify a cut. Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Kansas City Fed chief Esther George also believed there was insufficient data to justify a rate cut. Both officials cited strong employment data favoring tightening (if anything) as well concerns of excessive leverage in the financial system. Subscribers to the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster recall we mentioned these same points in the past, focusing on leverage most recently in the July 2019 issue. Is Trump Trying to Push the Fed to Cut Rates More? Was Trump’s announcement of additional tariffs the result of
Question of the Month: Is there a bigger con man in America today than Robert Kiyosaki? That's a good question because he certainly has a great deal of competition. Even before beginning to tackle this question one must first list the various genres known to be loaded with con artists and go from there. For instance, Kiyosaki considers himself a consumer finance, real estate and self-help guy. These are three genres consisting of nothing other than scam artists because they were created by scam artists. So if we view Kiyosaki as a consumer finance guy then Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey are obvious candidates for the top spot. If we view Kiyosaki as a real estate guy, the list of candidates who might qualify to take the top spot is too lengthy to mention. Many of the best candidates vying for the designation of the biggest real estate con artist have used late night infomercials as their main portal to connect with suckers. In contrast, Kiyosaki is pretty much the only clown to have broken into the mainstream media scene pitching his real estate BS and related seminars. For that reason alone one could argue that he leads the pack of this highly competitive army of real estate cons. If we view Kiyosaki as a self-help guy, the list of candidates who might qualify to take the top spot is again too lengthy to mention. but Tony Robbins is certainly the top self-help, life coach candidate. In short, I don't think Kiyosaki can match the complexity of the self-help BS Robbins has created over the years. Robbins is leading one of the biggest cults around. After all, this has been Robbins' focus for nearly 40 years. But when one considers the various genres Kiyosaki claims to cover, it's obvious to me he's easily a front runner for one of America's biggest con artists. Let's not forget that Oprah Winfrey has been responsible for launching the careers of some of America's biggest con artists or at least catapulting their career into the mainstream; Robert Kiyoaki, Tony Robbins, David Arthur Ray, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz., etc. Let's briefly review Kiyosaki's rise to shame. After spinning his wheels for several years as a sales rep with (Sc)Amway, Kiyosaki engaged in more MLM rackets where he (most likely) acquired some of the most common deceptive tactics he uses today. Then he teamed up with a writer who would go on to write his fictional book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which he listed as non-fiction and claimed it was based on real people and facts. However, the book is fiction and is filled with bad advice. He would go on to "write" dozens of other useless BS books with this partner, who would later sue Kiyosaki for shafting her per their business agreement. Folks, when you build a business that's centered around on a book that you claim was based on factual events and real people, except it's all a lie, that qualifies as fraud. Perhaps even more relevant is that the book is filled with nonsense and terrible advice.
It's not enough that Peter Schiff made a fortune duping his cult members with dubious statements in addition to failed predictions about the US, EU and China's economy, gold, silver, inflation, commodities and US Treasuries, nor was it enough that he made ridiculous claims about the US dollar, gold and the US stock market, all of which generated book sales from his useless book by suckers who thought Schiff could lead them to huge profits (boy were they proven to be complete suckers). Believe it or not, Schiff recently tried to coerce his low-IQ cult following to start a GoFundMe campaign...
Is there a bigger financial charlatan in the world today than Jim Rickards? That's a very good question that deserves some serious thought. There's certainly no slam dunk answer to this question. After all, our Jewish friend Jim Rickards has an enormous amount of competition from his fellow tribesmen who seem to gravitate around jobs, industries and activities that do not require real and honest work. For instance, we have as finalists the following contrarian indicators: Peter "Gold-Pumping, Hyperinflation" Schiff as a frontrunner, as well as Harry "Flip-Flop, Doomsday Demographics" Dent, Jim "Never Been Right About Anything" Rogers, Marc "Asian Nightlife Expert" Faber, Mike "Bull Shit Artist and Conspiracy Loon" Maloney, Eric "Pump and Dump" Sprott and Doug "Move Everything To Argentina to Escape the Collapse" Casey. Gunning for the top spot is also Robert "Career Con" Kiyosaki, as well as Tony "Life Coach" Robbins. The list of financial charlatans is quite long. And we certainly can't leave Porter "End of America" Stansberry off the list of finalists. You may not have thought of Stansberry because he's been largely in hiding ever since his epic "End of America" fail. As you might recall, back in 2010 Stansberry paid Alex Jones to be the voice of Stansberry's "End of America" fear-mongering scam. The ads for the one-plus hour long video were spread throughout the entire media, from internet and broadcast to alternative and mainstream. Although the ad campaign lasted through 2014, the video was run up until around 2015. If you listened to the advice in his fear-mongering infomentary, you lost huge. Stansberry even followed up with a similar doom and gloom videomercial called "End of America 2020," which of course was just as pathetic and ridiculous as his prior attempt. You might recall that I have previously exposed the fact that like Stansberry, Jim Rickards also works for copywriting boiler room, Agora Financial. Stansberry pretends he's not affiliated with Agora but he's very closely connected with this boiler room. In fact, Porter worked for Agora Financial for several years after he had been previously delivering pizzas. That's right. Porter Stansberry was a pizza delivery boy prior to being hired by Agora where he "cut his teeth"" learning the tricks of the copywriting trade to game the sheep. Listen to the audio below as pathological liar and gold-pumping charlatan Jim Rickards reads off a script prepared by copywriting monkeys at Agora Financial. First of all, if you really have something of value to introduce, why are you readng from a script? You should note that all copywriting scams are scripted. After you listen to this ridiculous pitch from Rickards, I want you to ask yourself if you actually believe his bull shit. If you do, you're quite gullible not so intelligent (putting it mildly).
I've already exposed the Alt-Right movement as another Jewish-run controlled opposition dog-and-pony show. More on the Alt Right Jewish Scam Jordan Peterson EXPOSED: the Latest of the Alt Right Jewish Puppets Jordan Peterson is Another Alt Right Jewish Puppet While it's sad to see so many gullible white people constantly dupped by Jewish gatekeepers, what's remarkable is that the Alt-Right crowd has actually been fooled by this creepy Jewish weirdo, Milos Yiannopoulos. Don't be fooled by the name. He's not Greek. He's Jewish. And he's also from the Jewish-run website Breitbart, which pretends to promote the interests of White Americans. In reality, Breitbart is just another Jewish-run gatekeeping apparatus. First and foremost, Jews have no place in the Alt-Right movement if in fact the objective of the movement is to preserve white nationalism and identity. In fact, the Jewish mafia has objectives which seek to eradicate white nationalism and identity. But you can't expect much when the movement was spearheaded by a very wealthy Jewish shill who ebegs. Richard Spencer Jewish Alt Right Fraud and Multimillionaire Is Now E-Begging Second, when you see the Alt-Right group embrace a homosexual, you know their minds have been hijacked. Milos demonstrates yet another instance whereby only Jews can proudly claim they run the banks and media. But if a gentile were to say it, they'd be called a racist, bigot and anti-semite. Now what group of people do you suppose created this double standard? Take a guess.
Opening Statement from the August 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on August 4, 2019 On July 31, 2019 Fed Chairman Powell announced the most highly anticipated change in interest rates in more than a decade. With 100 percent of fed funds futures traders betting on a rate cut for several weeks prior to the Fed’s July FOMC meeting, the Fed did not disappoint when it announced a 25-basis point cut in the federal funds rate when it met. During the weeks leading up to the FOMC blackout period (one week prior to the Saturday preceding an FOMC meeting and the Thursday following that meeting) investors interpreted Powell’s statements to mean that a rate cut would be coming during the July FOMC meeting. And because Powell failed to make statements that might otherwise cause investors to question whether a rate cut would be announced, he was essentially signaling to investors that rates would be cut during the July meeting.
Opening Statement from the July 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on July 21, 2019 For many years now the sustained period of record-low interest rates has fueled the search for yield which has enabled the real estate market to post pre-crisis highs. Although interest rates have risen beyond record-low levels, real estate market remains strong along with consumer spending. The stock market has also benefited from low rates. The post-crisis period has been especially favorable for dividend securities relative to net historical returns. Because we believe the upper limit for
Today I'm going to reveal one of the biggest scams that's been going on in the financial industry for many years. I'll guarantee you're not going to hear this scam revealed anywhere else because it involves exposing the inner workings of one of the Jewish mafia's source of theft from working class Americans.
Opening Statement from the July 2019 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on July 11, 2019 (pre-market release) Overview The U.S. is now enjoying its longest economic expansion in history. As well, the U.S. stock market continues to make new record highs as it adds to the longest bull market in U.S. history. And even more upside is expected over the next several months. But much depends on the details of successful trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing. A sustained period of record low interest rates has fueled the search for yield which has enabled the real estate market to post pre-crisis highs. Although interest rates have risen beyond record-low levels over the past few years, the real estate market remains quite strong along with consumer spending. Finally, the stock market has also benefited from low rates. The post-crisis period has thus far been particularly good for dividend securities relative to net historical returns. Because we believe the upper limit for short-term interest rates is being approached, our expectation of a continued low interest rate environment bodes well for the real estate and stock markets. Adding a strong labor market to the mix ensures the continuation of strong consumer spending and sentiment. On the surface the U.S. economy looks quite strong. The unemployment rate in the U.S. is the lowest it’s been in close to 70 years (1960s). However, such a low unemployment rate has led to a disproportionate low rate of wage growth. Although wages are rising, the rate of increase is below that expected given such a low unemployment rate. Thus, the exceptionally low unemployment rate alone should not be viewed to confirm the strength of the economy. Clearly there’s another side to the employment data that’s not being discussed openly by officials. Although wage growth has been incommensurate with the low unemployment rate, consumer price inflation remains relatively subdued. Based on current economic data and forward projections, we believe there is no need for the Fed to raise interest rates much more than 25 to 50 basis points (most likely) over the next 12 months. Moreover, persistently low U.S. Treasury yields continue to slant the Fed with a more dovish bias. Although solid, the U.S. economy is not nearly as strong as it appears on the surface. During a period when the fiscal stimulus is waning, trade uncertainty has caused variable damage to numerous sectors within the business world. Fortunately, consumer sentiment and spending remain very robust. In addition to rising geopolitical risks as well as worrisome weakening in the Eurozone, we cannot forget about the numerous risks embedded within China’s financial system. Combined with risks from trade, China’s financial system has become much more fragile. There are many other issues of concern, such as the persistently high...
If you really want to know what's going on with trade and devaluation of the yuan, don't you think you should listen to the ONLY person in the world that wrote about these issues as they pertain to the current situation BEFORE the financial crisis? Need a reminder? Mike's explanation is contained in the audio below. Please sign into your account. To access this audio.
Opening Statement from the July 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on July 7, 2019 Overview The global economy continues to feel the adverse impact of trade uncertainty. This dynamic has been reflected in the price of commodities. Meanwhile, although the U.S. economy remains relatively strong momentum has been waning for a number of months. Recently geopolitical events have weighed on crude oil pricing. Although the impact of geopolitics is likely to come and go in cycles, we expect this variable to remain an especially significant contributor to investor sentiment and thus short-term and perhaps even intermediate-term price movements. Crude Oil As expected Brent and WTI crude oil prices declined over the short term, but mounted a nice rally after bottoming off support levels we previously identified. As traders seek to navigate near-term volatility, they should continue to utilize our (what have thus far proven as) highly predictive price support and resistance levels in combination with geopolitical variables. Gold Fortunately, in the June issue we recommended traders take long positions in gold enabling them to capture huge profits from what would turn out to be fresh six-year highs. Our buy recommendation was obvious given the bounce off of the 1300 support. From there the rally strengthened, blowing past the 1320 bullish resistance. Although gold struggled to break past the 1350 bearish resistance, once it finally happened it soared to test the very significant 1400 bullish resistance. More details regarding how to manage this trade are presented in the gold forecast of this issue...
We have posted excerpts from the January 2016 Intelligent Investor Emerging Markets forecast presentation in order to highlight some very important points surrounding China's yuan devaluation. You are not likely to come across these insights elsewhere. And that means you are being provided with a competitive advantage. That's what we specialize in. If you want disinformation head to the media. If this is your choice you may as well flush your money down the toilet.
Over the years I've exposed the fact that the financial media is nothing more than a criminal organization that seeks to defraud and deceive its audience. The extent of securities fraud, lies and other crimes committed by the media is in the tune of tens of billions of dollars each year. And they get away with it because the same tribe that runs the media also not only runs Wall Street, but also the securities regulators and legal system. I've exposed the track records of the media's most highly revered "experts" showing you that these "experts" are in fact clowns and cons (simply perform a search on this website for your favorite financial media charlatan and you're likely to run across one or more entries). The media misrepresents their awful track records in order to dupe its unsuspecting and naive audience into thinking they will receive valuable insight if they read the articles and watch the shows featuring these "experts." All of this deceit generates a great deal of advertisement revenues. But it also lures a large pool of dummies that end up losing enormous amounts of money after having been swindled by following the recommendations of these "experts." This is where the media's business model expands from ad revenues into securities manipulation.
We have released a global economic presentation from December 2014 in order to give Members and Clients a look at the past. You should note how accurate Mike was with his many forecasts. We argue there is no one else in the world capable of delivering such an accurate assessment in such a wide scope of coverage.
Opening Statement from the June 2019 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on June 5, 2019 (pre-market release) Market Overview In the March 2019 U.S. Market Forecast (check the 21-minute mark) we discussed that until a trade deal was struck we expected the Dow to trade roughly between 26,000 and 24,000/24,500. We also mentioned that although the Dow could rise above 26,000 we did not believe it would hold this level given trade uncertainty, unimpressive earnings and weakness in the global economy. We also mentioned that investors could target position entries after a bounce in the Dow off of the 25,000 support. The following trading day the Dow did in fact bounce off of the 25,000 support and would rise to above 26,650 over the next five weeks. In the April U.S. Market Forecast (check the 18-minute mark) we discussed that investors should generally not be buying or reentering positions. Instead, we advised investors to be patient for a selloff down to the same mid to low-24,000 region we had discussed in March. In the May 2019 U.S. Market Forecast (check the 14-minute mark) we concluded that we were expecting lower levels in the U.S. stock market. We also stated that if adverse developments related to trade negotiations arose the market could sell off to the low-24,000 region we had been discussing since March. Recently and without any warning, Trump announced plans to begin placing tariffs on all Mexican imports starting at 5 percent, and gradually increasing up to 25 percent. Even more surprising was that he threatened to impose these tariffs in order to pressure the Mexican government to do a better job preventing migrant caravans from South and Central America from moving into Mexico en route to the U.S. This certainly qualified as an adverse development in trade negotiations and thus led to a large selloff in the U.S. markets down to a low of 24,689 in the Dow. This was the time when investors should have begun buying. Since then the market has rallied.
Opening Statement from the June 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on June 2, 2019 Overview The global economy continues to feel the adverse impact of trade uncertainty. This dynamic has been reflected in the price of commodities. Meanwhile, although the U.S. economy remains relatively strong momentum has been waning for a number of months. Given the recommendations from within the May 2019 issue of the CCPM Forecaster, we are not at all surprised that many of the commodities we cover encountered sharp price reversals. But we generally would not treat rallies in select commodities as an accurate reflection of the longer-term trend. We believe many commodities were oversold over the short term, so the recent rally was merely a response to this. Finally, low U.S. Treasury yields continue to pose a significant concern. With the effective federal funds rate currently at 2.42 percent, it is of no surprise that the yield on 3-month U.S. Treasury bills is 2.38 percent (as of May 31). In contrast, the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note is yielding a mere 2.14 percent (as of May 31). Therefore, investors receive a higher rate of return in addition to lower risk if they purchase 3-month T-Bills versus 10-year Treasury Notes. This phenomenon is often referred to as an inverted yield curve, although other maturities are used when analyzing this curve. As we have mentioned in the past, the fact that the yield curve has inverted should not be taken to be particularly significant by itself, given the large and unknown distortions in asset pricing as a result of radical monetary policy actions of the past decade. Regardless, the persistently low yield seen in the 10-year Treasury remains of great concern for a variety of reasons. Crude Oil As expected, crude oil sold off once geopolitical factors responsible for driving pricing beyond reasonable values faded. Crude oil is now being priced according to supply-demand expectations which are bearish. Although Brent and WTI crude have sold off back down to the trading range we previously defined based solely on macroeconomic dynamics, there’s a good possibility that pricing will head lower over the short term. It should be noted that the price behavior of crude oil has mirrored our forecasts with the highest of precision for quite some time. Gold As forecast, gold pricing finally broke out...
The following piece reinforces what I have been stating countless times over the past several years. Anyone who wastes time watching or reading anything CNBC, Bloomberg, the Wall Street journal, Barron's FOX, or any other Jewish-run media firm is naive and will surely get screwed. The same applies to websites that claim to provide investment research but in reality are part of the copywriting industry (Zach's, Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, etc.). Failed hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson spent many years partnering with Jewish-run media platforms such as CNBC and Bloomberg attempting to lure naive suckers into his trades in order to deliver positive investment performance. Lining up to deliver a pitch to suckers who watch these scam networks is a very common "investment strategy" utilized by an entire slew of sleazy fund managers. As I have discussed in the past, this is one of the primary "investment strategies" used by fund managers who are often paraded throughout the media as "experts." In reality, just about every single one of these guys the media points to as an expert is either a clown or a con artist. This is a claim I have documented extensively over the years. Given that we all know that all media is run by the Jewish mafia, a basic understanding of Jewish tribalism will enable you to realize precisely who the fund managers are that are provided with constant media promotion. This is but only one of the many facets to the securities industry's many scams run by the Jewish mafia. Unfortunately, this media scam did not work out so well for Tilson despite being provided with several years of media exposure from his tribesmen in the media. After years of some stunningly bad calls, investors finally pulled what was left of their money from Tilson's fund. Tilson was forced to close down Kase Capital Management...
A couple of years ago I released one or two audios discussing my suspicions regarding Andrew Anglin and his website Daily Stormer (I cannot recall the name of these audios, so if someone knows please email us so I can post the links). I also released an audio summarizing my interactions with David Duke on the Daily Stormer. I won't go into the details of my conclusions with respect to Anglin's role in the "white nationalist movement" here. But basically I stated (this is from memory so the wording might be off a bit) the nature of his extreme lampooning style of criticism and Jew-bashing was
In this audio, Mike goes over the first few minutes of Bill Still's ridiculous documentary, the Money Masters and shows you how it's inaccurate, contradictory and serves to distract from the source of the problems in failing to name the Jewish mafia. As well, Mike exposes other Jewish shills such as Edward Griffin and Michael Lewis during the process of explaining how the Jewish media machine operates to brainwash and manipulate the public using lies which it turns into perceived facts. The low budget "Money Masters" documentary produced by Bill Still has been around for quite some time. It has been referenced by just about every conspiracy loon and hater of the Federal Reserve Bank. But once you come to realize that most of the claims made in "Money Masters" are wrong, you will begin to understand how so many people have formed a belief system based on fundamentally flawed information and assumptions. First and foremost, if you are going to listen to anyone about something that person should have sufficient expertise in the topic for which he is presenting.
Opening Statement from the May 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on May 19, 2019 Earnings With more than 90 percent of firms in the S&P 500 having reported earnings for Q1 2019, current results combined with estimates of the remaining firms yet to report indicate slight growth for the quarter at around 1.0% compared to Q1 2018. Revenue growth is expected to come in at just over 5 percent. Thus far just over 75 percent of firms have...
Opening Statement from the May 2019 Intelligent Investor Originally published on May 8, 2019 (pre-market release) Overview When compared to the rest of the world, the U.S. economy looks quite strong. But we have detected a mild decline in momentum despite strong overall economic data. With the impact of the fiscal stimulus set to diminish from here, trade uncertainty combined with global weakness is likely to further restrict growth potential. But again, we do not see much of a chance of a recession in the U.S. for 2019. In contrast, the odds for a recession in 2020 are considerably higher, but...
Opening Statement from the May 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on May 5, 2019 Overview After exiting a relatively strong year in 2018 the US economy continues to show signs of declining momentum. With the impact of the fiscal stimulus set to diminish from here, trade uncertainty combined with global weakness is likely to further restrict growth.

Opening Statement from the April 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on April 14, 2019 Overview Consistent with previous forecasts, the US economy continues to show signs of weakening after coming out of a relatively strong year in 2018. With the impact of the fiscal stimulus poised to weaken from here, trade uncertainty along with the continued trend of global weakness is likely to further restrict growth. However, we do not see much of a chance of a recession in 2019. While the odds for a recession in 2020 are considerably higher, a great deal depends on the timing of the current trade disputes. As previously discussed in our market forecasting research from March, although the IMF lowered global growth estimates for 2018 from 3.7 percent to 3.5 percent in its January WEO Update, we believed this reduction was insufficient and thus would be revised further downward. In its April 2019 WEO, the IMF did in fact lower its estimate for global growth from 3.5 to 3.3 percent. Note that in its October WEO report the IMF estimated 2019 growth at 3.9 percent. This represents a substantial reduction in estimates over a 6-month period. We believe the IMF’s most recent revision to its 2019 global growth estimates to be a more accurate reflection of the current state of the global macroeconomic environment. The IMF has not yet reduced growth estimates for 2020 since its January reduction from 3.7 to 3.6 percent. But we believe a best-case scenario for growth in 2020 would be 3.5 percent. And if trade frictions continue beyond the summer of 2019,
Opening Statement from the April 2019 Intelligent Investor Originally published on April 4, 2019 (pre-market release) Interest Rates In the December 2018 Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster, we discussed our view that the Federal Reserve was not likely to raise rates in 2019 prior to June 2019. During its recent meeting in February, the Fed made several statements pointing to a low chance of rate hikes prior to June 2019 confirming our previous sentiment. It is important to follow various interest rate expectations because this is a variable that has been significant in influencing investor sentiment for quite some time. It may be of interest to note that by late December 2018, Goldman Sachs had lowered its estimate from four to three rate hikes. More recently, Goldman reduced its estimate to one hike for the entire 2019 year. At the end of 2018, both JPMorgan and Barclays felt the Fed would raise rates four times in 2019. Two months later JPMorgan cut its forecast to two rate hikes for 2019. But by March 2019, after the Fed’s latest meeting, JP Morgan cut its rate forecast to one hike for 2019. Barclays has cut its previous forecast of four rate hikes to two in 2019. Most investors have interpreted the Fed’s latest meeting in March to mean that no more rate hikes are expected for 2019. We do not agree with this interpretation (as discussed in an audio on the website). Interestingly, more than 90% of investors believe the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points before the end of 2019. This expectation is in contrast to previous Fed fund futures data prior to the Fed’s March meeting that that implied investors were expecting one rate hike in 2019. Although it is a possibility, we currently see no supporting evidence that would justify a rate cut in 2019. In fact, we believe the Fed will
Opening Statement from the April 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on April 1, 2019 (pre-market release) Overview The severe sell off in the stocks during the last quarter of 2018 resulted in annual losses for all equities markets. And although the stock and bond markets have largely recovered from these losses, the commodities market is still lingering as the trend of weakened global growth has become a more prominent concern. As we predicted in January, the ECB has recently stated that it is not likely to raise short-term interest rates in 2019. We do believe the ECB could raise rates in December if Washington strikes a timely trade deal with China. But this would require a significant boost in Eurozone economic activity. Overall, we do not believe the ECB should raise rates any time in 2019 other than as a symbolic gesture. Oil Crude oil pricing has remained range bound as forecast. However, pricing could exceed our upper range over the short to intermediate term as a result of OPEC’s reactions to waning demand. At the same time, one or more geopolitical issues could lead to significant departure of crude pricing according to normal supply and demand dynamics. Overall, we believe oil pricing is likely to continue to rise beyond our upper limits despite macroeconomic dynamics that would otherwise indicate a price decline. However, we do not expect these higher price levels to hold unless OPEC persists in its refusal to boost output. Given the political pressure faced by Saudi Arabia, we expect OPEC to eventually give in to recent demands made by Trump to boost output.

Opening Statement from the March 2019 Intelligent Investor Originally published on March 7, 2019 (pre-market release) Overview Due to a trend of heightened weakness in the region it should be apparent that the ECB is unlikely to raise interest rates by its previous target date of June 2019. Without a significant firming up in the E.U. economy, a rate hike in 2019 would not make much sense other than as a symbolic gesture. However, a timely trade deal between the U.S. and China could boost global business sentiment sufficiently to improve the situation. The trend of interest rate hikes by the Fed has strengthened the U.S. dollar against most currencies resulting in higher funding costs for many nations, especially emerging economies. Commodities pricing remains weak due to tepid demand. Worries over an economic contraction have deepened causing investors to flock into long bonds. This has caused the yield curve to flatten which itself has created
Opening Statement from the March 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on March 4, 2019 (pre-market release) Overview The severe sell off in the stock market during the last quarter of 2018 resulted in annual losses for all equities markets. Despite the strong and rapid rebound in the markets, deceleration of global growth continues to be of concern, especially given the lingering trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Although corporate earnings growth is expected to decline a great deal relative to that seen in 2018, the U.S. economy remains relatively strong, with low unemployment, strong consumer spending, high consumer confidence and modest wage growth. In contrast, significant pockets of risk continue to build throughout the globe. Uncertainty regarding
Were you scared out of the stock market over the past several years as a result of something you read or heard from one or more fear-mongering clowns? You know who many of these fear mongering clowns are. They're the guys who have been preaching doom and gloom for years. And I'm willing to bet they'll be preaching the same bull shit until the day they die. How can I be so sure of this? Because doom and gloom is their sales pitch. They're in the (shady and arguably illegal) business of sales based on manipulation of your emotions using lies, exaggerations and many tactics too lengthy to mention here. People who paint a never changing narrative are far from credible. And they certainly aren't analysts. They're shifty hucksters seeking to prey off your fear and anxiety; fear and anxiety that they've injected into your mind. And once you've accepted this narrative, it's extremely difficult to break away from the web of deceit and mind control. If you've fallen for the fear mongering narrative or any other theme based on sketchy claims, I have some bad news for you. You're in a cult. The man made Climate Change narrative is another example of a cult. So why do some people pursue this route of creating a business out of fear and doom? Because they're dishonest, greedy, disgusting, money-grubbing SOBs. And they worship money so much that they have no regard for those they fleece and the lives they destroy. These scum bags are the same people who preach unfettered capitalism as the best approach, but only because it means fewer options for legal recourse once they've scammed you. So if you've been fooled by their libertarian "get the government out of our lives" rants, you've been fooled again. At the end of the day most of these fear mongering hucksters are committing fraud because they're earning an income based on lies. Okay I get it. At the time you didn't realize they were clowns and cons looking to deceive and swindle you. Fair enough, but only up until a certain point. If however by 2013 you were still stuck in this mind control cult of fear mongering charlatans, all I can say is God help you. Hopefully by now you've been able to wake up. I like to think that my work exposing this huge racket has helped a good number of people wake up. I've sacrificed a huge loss in income as a result of this mission to expose these scam artists. But I've done so because it's something that needs to be exposed since so many people are being conned and steered into the gutter. My mission to expose these shysters is very much related to my overall objective to help average people become much better investors. And the process all starts with exposing the media, as well as the fear mongering hucksters. Let's get back to the main point. The bottom line is that you need to look at reality. The US stock market continues to enjoy its longest bull run in history. But have you benefited from this historic run? I know my research clients have because I've kept them in this bull market ever since having called the exact bottom on March 10, 2009. As well, I have helped my research clients navigate nearly all of the market selloffs and corrections since 2009, adding even more to their gains. Take a look at my track record and see for yourself. [1][2][3][4] I state this not to boast. I only state these verifiable facts in order to give you some perspective as to what's going on so you will realize that the media is gaming you. Imagine someone with my track record being black-balled by the media, while fear mongering con artists with terrible track records continue to be positioned as "experts" by the media. Once you realize that this is in fact what's been going on, you'll begin to see things much differently. At that point you will at least know how not to proceed if you want to become a successful investor. Perhaps you have stayed out of the stock market as a result of so many of the media's "experts" who have been warning about hyperinflation, a dollar collapse, a stock market collapse year after year, while telling you lies such as gold is money and doing everything they can to get you to buy gold and silver. I could rattle off a very long list of names of people who have been making these claims year after year. Here I'm going to focus on Michael Pento. You know folks, I find it really ironic as well as hilarious that the same clowns and charlatans who claim "fiat currencies" are "worthless" are also willing to exchange their gold and silver for your "worthless fiat currency." If you feel for this scam I'm sorry to be the one to break it to you, but you've been had. Keep in mind that if guys like Michael Pento were not provided with constant media exposure, the masses would have never been exposed to their nonsense. Hence, the masses would have most likely stayed in the stock market, enjoying this great bull market run. Instead, most people have been scared of the longest bull market in stocks in US history. If you are one of these individuals you have the media to blame. You should this criminal enterprise knows how you feel. So let's take listen to what Michael Pento was saying back in 2010, the year the video below was recorded. As you listen to the video I want you to focus on his fear mongering lines. And I want you to think about the entire crew of fear mongering clowns (Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Jim Rickards, Harry Dent, etc.) who are promoted by the media as experts on a daily basis and have been for decades.
The only problem for this dirty rotten liar is that he made this ridiculous claim back in 2011. His name is Chris Green. He's another failed financial adviser who lost his job during the financial crisis, so he decided to jump into the fear mongering, hyperinflation, dollar collapse, gold pumping syndicate. In addition to being a compulsive liar and creator of fake news, you should also note he's a major ebeggar. Oh and he also uses Christianity in order to lure bible thumping Christians into his cult so he can extract money from them. And they have no idea he's Jewish. Amazing how naive some people are. Incidentally, Many Jews pull this stunt. One final point that might be of interest. A couple of years ago as he saw the masses of suckers move from precious metals into cryptocurrencies, he realized where the bigger audience was so he deleted all of his previous fear mongering, gold pumping, cryptocurrency trashing videos and started pumping cryptocurrencies. Ever since then he has been selling cryptocurrency trading programs to suckers.
Unless you're familiar with Chris Martenson's fear-mongering "Crash Course" nonsense or a member of his Robert Kiyosaki-styled "Peak Prosperity" cult-like platform, you probably don't know who Adam Taggart is. Taggart is the guy behind the scenes responsible for marketing Martenson's Malthusian narrative to naive people. At least he has previously been behind the scenes. As of late, Taggart has been front and center serving as the marketing spokesman. You might recall that I previously exposed the reality about Chris Martenson many times in the past. See here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Opening Statement from the February 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on February 18, 2019 The severe sell off in the stock market during the last quarter of 2018 resulted in annual losses for all equities markets. This irrational selling frenzy served as a reminder that prudent investors can never relax even during the longest bull market in U.S. history. Investors must always recognize and reevaluate numerous risk factors. But they must also know when to avoid obsessing over risk, as this too will lead to poor investment performance. Fortunately, the markets have mounted a tremendous rebound since the beginning of 2019, recouping most of what was lost in the final quarter. But numerous risks remain. Deceleration of global growth continues to be of concern, especially given the lingering trade dispute between the U.S. and China. Although corporate earnings growth is expected to decline a great deal relative to that seen in 2018, the U.S. economy remains relatively strong, with low unemployment, strong consumer spending, high consumer confidence and modest wage growth. In contrast, significant pockets of risk continue to build throughout the globe. Uncertainty regarding the completion of Brexit remains as a drag on the already weakening European economy. Meanwhile, Italy continues to present challenges to the EU. The trend of interest rate hikes by the Fed has strengthened the U.S. dollar against most currencies resulting in higher funding costs for many nations, especially emerging economies. Commodities pricing remains weak due to tepid demand. Worries about an economic contraction deepen causing investors to flock into long bonds. This has caused the yield curve to flatten which itself has created additional trepidation. Global debt has grown rapidly during the post-crisis period. Today, it’s estimated at just under $200 trillion, or more than 230% of global GDP with the United States, China and Japan as the top debtors.
Mike warned the public about the cryptocurrency scam many years ago in the same way that he also warned the public about the gold pumping syndicate. Here, Mike provides some followup commentary related to these scams.
The following video was first published in early 2018 shortly after the bitcoin bubble collapsed. This poor guy got sucked into the cryptocult at the wrong time.
Opening Statement from the February 2019 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on February 3, 2019 Overview There’s really nothing new to report relative to the January issue other than a pause in rate hikes as expected. The U.S. economy remains strong relative to much of the world with particular loss of momentum in the EU and Japan. Meanwhile, China’s weak economic data have investors optimistic that more economic stimulus is on the way. Although investor sentiment is considerably strong than the previous two months, all signs point to continued weakness in commodities going forward. U.S. Employment Data On Friday, February 1, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 304,000 jobs were added in January, smashing the consensus estimate of 165,000. However, the BLS revised job growth from the prior two months down by 70,000, bringing the three-month average to 241,000 jobs. Particularly encouraging were data measuring the employment-to-population ratio (EPOP) which rose to 60.7 for its highest reading during the post-crisis period. Even more impressive was the rise in the EPOP for prime-age (aged 25 to 54) male and female employment, from 86.1% to 86.5% and 73.4 to 73.5%, respectively marking the highest readings during the post-crisis period. Strangely, the impressive jobs data failed to boost the U.S. stock market beyond a negligible amount perhaps due to the overhang of numerous uncertainties and concerns such as U.S. trade negotiations with China, continued loss in economic momentum throughout much of the world during a period of record-low but gradually rising interest rates coupled to excessive debt.
Opening Statement from the January 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on January 20, 2019
The following audio was originally created in November 2017 but was lost in our massive digital library. It was recently discovered and has now been published for the first time.
Opening Statement from the January 2019 Intelligent Investor Originally published on January 10, 2019 (pre-market release) Interest Rates In the December 2018 Intelligent Investor forecasting webinar, we stated that although we felt the chance of a 25-basis point rate hike in December was 98%, we believed the Fed would issue a dovish statement in order to appease investors. On December 19, 2018 the Federal Reserve raised the Fed funds rate by 25 basis points pushing short-term interest rate up to a range between 2.25 and 2.50%. Although Fed chairman Powell did in fact issue a dovish statement during the December meeting, his delivery was of insufficient substance to please investors. As a result, the capital markets mounted a severe selloff thereafter. Looking forward we deem the Fed’s bias for two 25-basis point rate hikes in 2019 as appropriate assuming economic data comes in as expected. As stated in the December 2018 Intelligent Investor, we would be surprised if the Fed were to raise interest rates before June unless we see a trend of blowout data (e.g. a “three-peat” of the December jobs data). Apparently, Wall Street holds a different view. Due to the especially weak December seen in the stock market, as of January 5, 2019, several Wall Street strategists and economists expect the next move by the Fed to be a rate cut (specifically Blackrock and Wells Fargo). Others believe the Fed will not raise rates at all in 2019. In contrast, as of December 2018, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan expect the Fed to raise rates four times in 2019. We consider this forecast to be even more ridiculous than the rate cut expectations by Blackrock and Wells Fargo. Although some economists still favor two rate hikes, the overall percentage maintaining this view has declined significantly since December. But the reduction has only come as a result of the recent volatility in the capital markets as opposed to weakness in the US economy. It is important to emphasize that there remains no weakness in the US economy to justify cutting interest rates. At the same time, because the current Fed funds rate of 2.25% to 2.50% is at least 50 basis points below the estimated neutral rate, monetary policy remains slightly stimulatory. Given the strength in the US economy there is no need for monetary stimulus. If prolonged, this unneeded stimulus will lead to inflation which would most likely evolve into a recession. In short, we believe those calling for a rate cut as the Fed’s next move are focusing too much on the stock market and/or yield curve and too little on...

Opening Statement from the December 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on December 5, 2018 (pre-market release) US Economy Despite the recent deceleration in global economic growth, the US economy remains solid even though it has been unable to escape lower growth estimates for 2018 and 2019. Regardless, most major economic metrics remain favorable, ensuring continuation of uninterrupted growth in 2019. Even wage growth has picked up over the past year which has factored into the Fed’s forecast for future rate hikes. Although the US will enter 2019 with decelerating momentum, we expect corporate earnings growth, consumer sentiment, unemployment, inflation and interest rates to remain at very healthy levels. Interest Rates In early October Fed Chairman Powell made a vague statement regarding the future direction of short-term interest rates. His statement was interpreted by investors to imply many more rate hikes would be forthcoming over the next few years. In short, Powell stated that the current short-term rates were “probably a long way from the neutral rate.” Considering the Fed had been providing future rate hike forecasts linked to relevant economic data for close to two years, investors appear to have overemphasized the meaning of Powell’s nondescript statement. Accordingly, the stock market selloff in early October commenced as a result of investor misinterpretation of Powell’s statement. When the Fed met recently, Powell altered his wording when commenting on interest rates. In short, he stated that short-term interest rates are currently “just below the neutral rate” despite the fact that rates had not been raised since he spoke in early October. Given that the Fed had previously discussed targeting rate hikes to a level slightly above the neutral rate, it seems as if investors interpreted Powell’s recent statement (in late November) to mean that he has lowered his rate hike projections. This pleased investors who responded by piling into the stock market last week. Although Powell’s comments regarding where rates need to be were just as vague in November as they were in October, investors assumed his recent statement was an indication of a more dovish posture relative to his position in early October. Did Powell’s subtle change in wording really reflect a change in rate hike estimates by the Fed? We...
Opening Statement from the December 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on December 2, 2018 Overview Commodity prices remain weak due to the loss of economic momentum throughout the globe. Most notably, broad-based commodity indexes sustained large declines as a result of the strong selloff in crude oil. Trade negotiations continue to lead the way in terms of future catalysts for the capital markets, along with expectations of interest rate hikes. President Trump just agreed not to boost tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods from 10% to 25%, originally set to become effective on 1 January of 2019. Instead, the tariffs will be put on hold for 90 days in order give Washington and China more time to negotiate a mutually agreeable deal. The news is likely to provide a boost to the capital markets at least in the short term. Oil After facing a relentless selloff persisting for several weeks, crude oil looks to be in the process of forming a bottom, although sentiment remains negative and could easily push prices lower...
Previously I exposed my premise that Nasdaq.com is engaging in criminal activities by selling its site space to a variety of Jewish con artists. In my opinion, these business practices by Nasdaq are absolutely criminal because investors are under the impression that Nasdaq.com is a source of unbiased information. After all, it is the parent website of the Nasdaq exchange, right? Let's take a close look at what's going on. Before we begin, I want to tell you that I was stunned when I realized what was happening.
So how does one manipulate securities while building a meaningless track record? Just watch what Andrew Left does as you examine the annotated images below. First, he pays for publicity. If you don't realize that the "article" below is in reality a paid press release disguised as news, you should first note that the "article" is not in-depth (Left is too much of a moron to come up with anything of both substance and detail, so he is unable to even pretend he has even a remote level of insight and intellect), was written by some guy working in a Reuters office in India. Next, the reporter posts a link to Left's boiler room website (this is the object of the "article"...to entice the reader to check out his blog turned website). The signs of paid PR here are so obvious. Being featured on a well-known news publication like Reuters can go a long way with typical naive investors who fail to realize that Reuters has not been reliable for many years. As well, the typical investor is not likely to realize that Left is nothing more than a con man and idiot seeking to manipulate stocks while attempting to build a track record from making rinky dink calls.
By now you should know the answer to this question. Jewish nepotism takes the form of severe discrimination against all non-Jews for the specific purpose of enriching Jewish individuals at the expense of everyone else. The Jewish mafia has been especially vicious in their war against white males. This is specifically why Jews have continued to replace white males in every industry they control. This is also why they are behind America's discrimanatory Affirmatve Action laws. Replacing white males with minorities fulfills an additional component of the Jewish mafia's agendas. This mentality is part of typical Jewish upbringing and has been prevelant since ancient times. It has created the largest wave of racial discrimination against whites in the world. This is what the Jewish mafia does. And it illustrates just one reason why people throughout history have hated Jewish people. Make no mistake. Jewish individuals generally behave quite nice to gentiles when intereacting with them one on one. It's usually when they are aligned with other Jews that allows one to detect ill effects of Jewish tribalism. This is why it's difficult to determine whether a Jewish individual engages in tribalism or not. As a result most gentiles (who are aware of Jewish tribalism) paint all Jewish people with the same brush. I have to admit that there is some validity with this assumption even though it's not necesarily accurate. Everywhere you look you will see evidence of mass discrimination by Jewish-run organizations. How is it that Jews have gained so much control over so many industries? Remember that Jews comprise less than 2% of the US population and less than 0.1% of the world population.

Opening Statement from the October 2018 Dividend Gems Originally published on October 14, 2018 As expected, the Federal Reserve raised its Federal funds rate to 2.25% on September 26. A fourth rate hike of 25 basis points in 2018 is highly likely to be announced during the Fed’s December meeting. We believe the Fed is moving along prudently given the most relevant macroeconomic variables. Given the high probability of an additional 25 basis point rate hike in December, as well as a series of rate hikes totaling 75 basis points in 2019, we are likely to head into 2020 with short-term rates slightly above 3.00%. Moving forward investors should continue to monitor U.S. employment data and wage growth along with other inflation indicators such as the core PCE. We must also factor the extent of inflation as a result of tariffs. These variables will largely determine the pace of interest rate hikes over the next few years. When interest rate forecasts are discussed two key topics of current interest should be considered. The first topic relates to capital flows. We have been discussing the potential consequences of rising short-term interest rates in the U.S. well in advance of other nations. In short, the Federal Reserve can only raise short-term interest rates so much before the rest of the world is pressured to raise rates. Within this discussion it is most critical to consider capital outflows specifically from developing nations. Already, several developing nations have begun to raise interest rates in an attempt to neutralize the impact of rate hikes in the U.S. Although containing inflation could be more of a factor for rate hikes down the road, we believe the current impetus for rate hikes in developing nations is centered on improving currency stability. Finally, even advanced nations will need to begin raising rates over the next 12 months in order to minimize capital outflows. The second topic of interest pertains to what short-term interest rate the Fed considers to reflect “neutral” monetary policy. This discussion has implications...
Opening Statement from the October 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on October 4, 2018 (pre-market release) As it stands today, the U.S. economy is serving as the main driving force for the entire globe... But it is important to keep in mind that much of the recent strength in the U.S. economy has been due to the fiscal stimulus centered on debt-financed tax cuts for corporations and wealthy as opposed benefits which would have a lasting impact on growth such as the repair and modernization of America’s aging infrastructure. China We believe China’s economy has already sustained sizable damage as a result of tariffs from Washington. As a reminder, China’s economy was already vulnerable to external disruptions as a result of its ongoing mission to transition from a...
Perhaps you recall Harry Dent's "Safe Asset Slaughter" marketing pitch. You might not be surprised to learn that Dent has recently released a new video pitch (see below). It seems that Dent and his copyrighting monkeys pump out new marketing gimmicks every day while releasing new video pitches each month. It's no wonder why Dent has no idea what's going on with the economy and stock market. He's spending all of his time creating fear-mongering videos, copyrighting pitches and other sales and marketing tactics. If you're thinking this focus on sales and marketing of fear and greed reminds you of Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers and the rest of the Jewish marketing clowns, I was thinking the same thing. With so many pitches released so often it might seem difficult to keep up with Dent's latest gimmick unless you're a dedicated follower of his nonsense. There's no reason why you should be confused as to which pitch Dent is rambling about. It's really pretty simple. All you have to remember is that Dent changes the name of monthly video pitch while the content pretty much stays the same. Typically his pitch goes something like this.... "Economics has failed in its promise to predict the markets. Back in the 1980s when I studied at Harvard..." First he makes the false claim that economics was intended to predict the markets and then he wants you to know that he studied at Harvard hoping you'll think that gives him credibility. You know Harvard right? It's where many of the economists who "failed to predict the markets" also studied. "We use demographics to predict consumer behavior and this allows us to predict the economy which enables us to forecast the markets..." Next Dent lays into his demographics voodoo nonsense. Not only has demographics been proven over and over again as a failed indicator of market performance, Dent's approach to demographics is laughable. "Hello, My name is Harry Dent [proceeds with more false logic and lies about his track record]....here at Dent Research [more bull shit]....[now for the one hour pitch]." Of course, as flawed as the field of economics is, even the most enthusiastic economists, if they are credible and honest, have never claimed economic tools enable them to predict anything. And it doesn't matter where you went to college Harry. All that really matters is your track record. And you track record completely sucks which is why you are a copyrighting clown posing as an analyst and economist. Have a look at Dent's track record here. Today's pitch is yet another spin on Dent's Safe Asset horse crap. You may be wondering why I would take the time out of my busy day to post this material and to record Dent's pitch and post it when I could be devoting my time to more productive activities. At the very least I could use this time for leisure, right? The reality is that (with the exception of the audios I make) this particular post is actually one of the least-time consuming that I've made in a long time. It took me only a few hours. In total I spent around five hours reading Dent's email, watching and recording his video, reformatting and uploading it, annotating the images (shown below) and publishing this post. If that sounds like a good deal of time for such a small amount of content, you have no idea how much effort it takes to create completely original content that's of unique value. What few people realize is the fact that many of the videos I create consume a huge amount of time. In the past I've mentioned that some of my longer articles and even videos can take several hundred hours to complete. For instance, the recent video I made exposing Paul Watson took me more than 40 hours to make. That's pretty typical for a video of that length. Now imagine how many of those types of videos I've created over the years...hundreds. In fact, I've gone on record as stating that I spend the majority of my time creating content to expose the financial media charlatans and the tricks of the media versus actually creating investment content and research. Why? Because understanding the tricks and deceit of the media is the single most important thing you can do as an investor. So relatively speaking, the effort I put into creating this post was close to nil. Some of you might be thinking that I could have devoted the time I've spent making these videos and writing articles exposing financial media charlatans towards investment related projects; projects that would provide you with more investment insight; projects that would directly boost my sales and fatten my wallet. After all, I've never made a single penny from any of these videos or articles so isn't it an enormous waste to be spending so much of my time and effort on projects that do not directly provide investment insight and resources all while boosting sales? Before I answer this by the way, I'd like you to identify anyone else in the world who has spent so much time, energy and money making content that reveals the truth and that doesnot generate any income. My answer to this is the following will be addressed in two portions. First of all, the time and effort I spend on this type of content does raise the intelligence of investors. In fact, this facet of education is found no other place in the world other than this website. There are many components required prior to gaining an advanced understanding of complex fields. Investing is a complex field. Although virtually no one else in the world addresses the importance of understanding how the financial media works as a vital part of the process involved in advancing your prospects as an investor, without this component you are likely to do much worse. Second, the objective here is not to run a business. My objective is to expose the truth so that you become a much better informed, sharper, wiser investor, consumer and individual. The bottom line is that everything I do at AVAIA...all of the content I produce is specifically focused on helping you become a better, more independent investor, from the audios, videos and articles to the investment research. So if you've often wondered why I seem to spend so much time on projects that do not provide investment insight and resources, you fail to appreciate the importance of understanding the enemies of investors. As an investor your enemies are Wall Street, the financial media and the so-called "experts" promoted by the financial media. As you watch the video below ask yourself how the typical person would react to the statements made by Dent. Think about how the typical person might react to the statements made by Dent. Ask yourself if you can spot the lies, deception, faulty logic, and psychological trickery that's characteristic of this army of copyrighting cons. In short, watching the following video serves as an exercise in raising the portion of your intellect that's devoted towards detecting charlatans.
Opening Statement from the October 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on October 1, 2018 (pre-market) Overview Global growth remains solid but has progressively weakened over the past few months. After enjoying more than a year of improving economic and market conditions accompanied by uniform macroeconomic growth, this trend is losing momentum. In fact, the global economic landscape is becoming more fragmented and uncertain. Leading this period of uncertainty are issues pertaining to global trade policy, followed by fiscal and monetary policy. The emerging markets have been hit hard due to trade uncertainty, with Southeast Asia and Latin America having received a great deal of the blow. Notably we are now seeing definite signs of economic weakness in China as a result of U.S. tariffs. Moreover, South Korea continues to show weakness along with Taiwan and a host of other nations. The number one question on the minds of investors is...
Dennis Gartman is one of the many countless contrarian indicators constantly featured in the Jewish-run media crime syndicate as an "expert" despite getting nearly everything wrong nearly all of the time. But if you are Jewish, you will receive favorable treatment by Jewish-run industries. This is a fact. It's discrimination. It's fraud. And it's contributing to the fake news epidemic.
Risk is a very difficult concept for most investors to appreciate. And it's near impossible for novice investors to even comprehend investment risk. As you can imagine, novice investors focus on profits, not because they are greedy. They focus on profits because they do not know much about the risks. No one in the world will ever develop a way to prevent losses. But the sooner you come to appreciate investment risk, the sooner you will begin to limit your investment losses. Otherwise, you will learn the importance of investment risk only after you have experienced a series of very large losses. Most investors fail to account adequately for investment risk because there really are no commonly accepted definitions of investment risk that are valid. The most commonly accepted measure of investment risk can be found in every college finance textbook. It's also been integrated into securities guidelines for suitability standards when licensed investment professionals are managing client funds. Of course I am referring to beta. If you don't know what a security's beta is this discussion is over your head so I suggest you get up to speed and then come back. Unfortunately, the type of risk measured by beta is not at all what the investment world claims it to be. Let me be clear here. Beta is...

The Jewish media is always featuring one or more Jewish crooks and con artists as a source of great insight. This type of media fraud happens on a daily basis. As I have previously discussed, one of the control tactics used by the Jewish mafia is to make certain all discussions, explanations and solutions to all problems and controversies are always led by Jews so that all of your choices are saturated with the same tribe that's behind all of the problems. Some refer to this tactic as the "fox guarding the hen house." Just how stupid are people to fall for this sham?
Opening Statement from the September 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on September 2, 2018 Overview The global economy continues to show some signs of weakness as a result of trade uncertainty, but remains on solid ground. From a longer term standpoint we to believe the greatest risks to global economic growth stem from China. The commodities selloff progressed through the midpoint of August before retracing as the US dollar declined. Notably, during August price changes for most commodities were driven primarily by price movements in the US dollar. China Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing are adding further strain on China’s economic growth picture, which already faces credit growth constraints during a critical period as it seeks to transition from an export-based manufacturing economy to a service economy based on primarily domestic consumption. Even though the Chinese stock market has made an impressive rebound since bottoming in May, it took a considerable selloff in the US dollar to halt the collapse in the yuan. USD Although the US dollar sold off after reaching a high of 97, we believe this high will be tested in coming weeks. Looking ahead, resolution of current trade disagreements between the US...
This video was originally created in late 2013 (not certain).
This article is followed by an audio presentation below which includes a discussion on speculate trading opportunities in Brazilian stocks. Although the final installment of Brazil's highly anticipated presidential elections are still a couple of weeks away, the presidential showdown features two Jewish Brazilians. First, we have the far-right leaning front runner, Jair Bolsonaro who has been likened to the "Donald Trump of Brazil" as a result of some of the comments he has made about females, rape, and his pseudo-patriotic "Brazil first" speeches. Similar to Trump, Bolsonaro plans to hand the nation's financial and economic decisions over to his Jewish economic adviser, Paulo Guedes who is now being investigated for mismanagement of one of Brazil's public pension plans. Trailing in the polls by a very large margin is the Jewish left-leaning candidate, Fernando Haddad who promises to keep Brazil's assets out of reach of the private markets. Regardless who wins, Jewish interests will remain at the forefront of Brazilian politics because Brazil will continue its tradition of electing a Jewish president most likely without the knowledge of the Brazilian people. And if Wall Street gets its way (and it usually does) Bolsonaro will become Brazil's next president. Jewish control over Brazilian politics, economics and finance has been prevalent on for many decades. All one has to do in order to confirm this is to check into the backgrounds of the current and former economic and finance ministers of the Brazilian government. And while you're at it you might want to take a close look at the top men (past and present) running Brazili's central bank.
The following screenshot captures an email sent to the Jewish reporters at Bloomberg who were responsible for writing this "story" to remind them that they are conspiring with Einhorn to manipulate the price of TSLA. And they are promoting Jewish clowns simply because they are Jewish. We see this fraud on a daily basis. Do your part and forward our video links to these media crooks. Let them know we know what they're up to.
As you all know, I never watch CNBC. My aversion for trash and scams doesn't stop with CNBC. I never pay any attention to any financial media because I realize what a huge disinfo scam it is. Some people never learn. As usual, I'll be blunt. If you're still paying attention to the media you're going to continue losing money. Remember that all ad-based content is a JEWISH scam, from all broadcast and print media, to all internet and social media. Good God, if you haven't figured this out by now you're basically hopeless!
Although I've never previously discussed Simon Black (a very Jewish name by the way), I've actually known about him for around seven years now. In fact I had already created a file on him several years ago with the intent of exposing his con games, but I had not come across any mention of him until recently. As readers will recall, I tend to focus on exposing disinformation figureheads, scam artists and other parasitic profiteers commensurate with their level of media exposure and/or how much they are spreading their nonsense through other means (i.e. email marketing, etc.). I prioritize my efforts in this manner because the more people these cons are reaching, the more people are being taken. It turns out that Mr. Black has been targeting his prey by less direct methods which have escaped my radar (via links and mention through shady websites and email newsletters). Black began pumping out his Sovereign Man nonsense to knucklehead followers of many of the clowns under the Agora Financial umbrella such as Casey Research, Stansberry Research and many others. At that time he never appeared in public. I immediately thought this to be quite strange. Instead, he began using fake pictures when posting ads for his scams. I suppose this "air of mystery" was part of his pitch. Nice fake pic Simon. Sorry but you don't look like a model. As you will soon see, Simon looks like a complete charlatan. And in his case, looks are NOT deceiving. Watch the video below and you will see what a sleazy fake and charlatan this guy is. Ask yourself why this clown used a fake pic of himself instead of using his real pic. Oh that's right. He wanted to portray the impression that he's some "mysterious and cool, modeling-looking" guy. Folks, when you stoop that low to create an impression, it should be obvious that you're dealing with a huge huckster. Now that Black is coming out and hitting more traditional avenues of communication used by the charlatan network, I suspect this change in game plan is due to desperation to land more business since the supply of fear-mongering shit out there has become oversaturated. So after all of these years of not seeing anything from Simon, how did I come across him recently? I stumbled onto Simon when I was researching Chris Martinson. Are you surprised? After digging a little deeper it turns out that Martenson and Black joined master charlatans Peter Schiff and Robert Kiyosaki on a real estate cruise run by some jugheads. Note the somewhat common tactic often used by charlatans in order to give the impression that they are noble and successful. They claim they want to "give back to the community." And establishing a "charitable fundation" or similar entity often gives the impression (to gullible people) that they are "successful/wealthy" enough to fund these programs, most of which are not anything they claim to be. The remainder of the images (most of which have been annotated) should be sufficient to show what a shyster this guy is. Make sure to pay attention to some of the examples of the clowns he hangs with as a reminder that you are judged by the company you keep.
Opening Statement from the August 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on August 5, 2018 Overview Most commodities continue to sell off in response to USD strength, as well as worries of adverse consequences of trade tensions. Previously we discussed that the global economy remains on solid ground despite having been negatively impacted by uncertainty in global trade dynamics. The IMF confirmed our sentiment in its July 2018 World Economic Outlook as it acknowledged less uniform growth due to trade tensions, higher oil pricing and changes in capital flows as a result of monetary policy actions by the Federal Reserve. While the IMF’s global growth estimates for 2018 and 2019 remain unchanged at 3.9 percent, estimates have been revised slightly downward in the Eurozone, Japan and the United Kingdom. Meanwhile... China After mounting a nice retracement rally, the Chinese stock market sold off back down into bear market territory, erasing all the gains made since the June lows as a result of escalating trade tensions with the U.S. In addition, the yuan continued to sell off. Trade tensions between Washington and Beijing are adding further strain on China’s economic growth picture, which already faces credit growth constraints during a critical period... US Dollar Strength We have been forecasting a retracement in the USD index with a high probability of a reversal in the bullish trend since the beginning of 2017. Since that time the USD index has declined by as much as 15%. We also put a bottom target in the USD index of the mid to low-80s. The USD index bottomed at 88 and has since mounted a strong rally largely as investors seek the dollar’s safe haven status. Moreover, it appears that investors are finally allowing the USD to appreciate in accordance with interest rate hikes from the Fed. We believe if it were not for Washington’s focus on trade the USD would have declined to the mid-80s. Thus, we must question to what extend the USD will weaken once trade negotiations have been made. Resolution of current trade disagreements is likely to... Interest Rates As expected, the Federal Reserve kept the target range for the federal funds rate at 1.75 percent to 2.00 percent during its August 2018 meeting. The Fed appears to be leaning towards a September rate hike of 25 basis points. We believe this is the right move given the most relevant macroeconomic variables. Finally, a fourth rate hike of 25 basis points in 2018 is highly likely. Given the high chance of a boost in the Fed funds rate by... Inflation Watch Over the past 18 months we have noted the gradual pickup in global inflation, specifically pointing to improvements made in the Eurozone and Japan. While inflation remains below many official targets, gradual progress continues to be made. At the same time current trade tensions... It is important to have an idea about future inflation rates because it helps us forecast short-term interest rates which of course impacts... As the only major economy in a trend of rising short-term interest rates, it is of especially high importance to monitor macroeconomic variables from within the U.S. Accordingly, we believe... Focus on the Yield Curve In recent weeks investors have been focused on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The yield curve is an important variable to consider because it is one of the variables used by the Fed when deciding whether or not to change short-term interest rates. Currently the yield curve is in the process of flattening. The significance of a flat yield curve is that it represents the stage prior to an inverted yield curve. And an inverted yield curve has often served as a leading indicator of a recession. Incidentally, some Fed officials have cautioned that interest rates should be raised more slowly than estimates indicate in order to avoid an inverted yield curve which could materialize as early as 2019. At this point we...

Over the years I have been exposing the countless lies and myths spread about gold and silver by gold dealers, paid off precious metals promoters and delusional minions who have been hoodwinked by the precious metals pumping crime syndicate. See the article headlines at the end for more articles, audios and videos on gold and gold con artists. Here’s a tiny list of examples: Top 20 Gimmicks and Lies of Gold Charlatans - 100 pg e-book Understanding Manipulation of Gold by the Media Understanding the Proper Use of Gold and Silver Golden Dreams & Delusions: The Story about Gold You Haven't Heard (PART 1) Gold Charlatans Strike it Rich While their Sheep Get Fleeced (Part 1) Dow-Gold Ratio Scam and Pricing of Gold in Foreign Currencies Scam The California Gold Rush of the Twenty-First Century Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions Rather than jumping on the gold-pumping band wagon, a move which would have easily landed me a 7-figure annual income for merely playing cheerleader (i.e. making up wild stories about gold, the dollar, the stock market and the economy) I did something no one else in the professional investment world opted for. I stuck with the truth. And I put my ass on the line while sacrificing big time money in order to try and help the average Joe. I’ve committed a great deal of time and effort towards exposing the gold pumping crime syndicate. I considered it a public service. Little did I know I would be alone in these efforts. Even today, some eight years after I began exposing this filthy syndicate, I've received virtually no support for these efforts. At best, I’ll occasionally get a lengthy email sent to me by my colleagues that details how a person admits they were fooled by the gang of gold pumping shysters, and now they're down by $400,000 as a result of having no exit strategy in their gold position. Inevitably these individuals seek me out hoping to get advice on what to do. Never mind that they still haven’t figured out that the key to investment success isn’t to jump onto the latest fad but instead to commit yourself to a source of knowledge and expertise so that you can learn from unbiased experts instead of being hoodwinked into scams. Never mind these individuals never even bothered to sign up as a member of the website so they could learn more; so they could begin the process of being transformed from a sheep into a sound investor. Never mind any of this common sense. They all want advice from me. And they want it for free. It doesn't work that way. Anyone offering anything for free is either scamming you or else setting you up to be scammed by others who are paying them. Think how ad-based content works. Think the media. Think Facebook. Think free emails. Do you get the point? See Free versus Paid Content. Never mind the fact that these individuals ultimately fueled the gold pumping crime syndicate in a variety of ways, from generating thousands of dollars in commissions buying precious metals (some of this money was funneled back into the media in the form of ads and paid hacks). Never mind they rewarded the gold-pumping con artists at their own expense thereby making the scam a successful business venture for the perpetrators. The victims of the gold-pumping scam never stopped to think that after all I’ve done to help people avoid being scammed, the least they could do would be to become a member of AVA Investment Analytics so they could support my efforts to help the average Joe. No, certainly not. Instead, they probably donated money to some of these guys when they went on their ebegging campaigns. At the very least they supported the gold-pumping syndicate of scammers by contributing to views which boosted advertisement revenues, promoted these cons as legitimate and credible. At worst they bought gold and silver from them and their buddies. Rewarding criminals while punishing the police is the best way to ensure scams continue. These individuals wanted a quick fix to a problem that was ultimately conjured up in their own mind. If you fell for the gold-pumping scam it was because you allowed it to happen. So if you fell for this scam you need to do some real soul searching. You need to find out why you couldn't see what was so obvious to others. You need to clear your mind. You need to learn how to think critically and logically. Most of all you need to learn how to spot con artists. These are among the many topics we address as part of the content outside of the economic and investment research we publish. Rather than listen to reason, the victims of the scam constantly repeated the lines fed to them by their cult leaders. Rather than question agendas and motives, the victims of the scam embraced a kind of fanatical religion preached by the various precious metals ministers. It didn't matter how obvious it was to others that they were lying or how little credibility they had (think Lindsey Williams and Mike Maloney) or how wrong they've been over and over (think Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers). Precious metals cult members believed every word from every precious metals pumper's mouth. They fell for the scam hook, line and sinker. That’s the type of ignorance that’s truly a curse because it's extremely difficult to remedy. For some, it's impossible to resolve. These are the types of folks destined to fail. God help these people. My mission to expose the liars, their lies and to explain how this syndicate operated in recruiting new cult members while keeping current members from breaking free from the web of deceit began once I spotted a bubble forming in the precious metals market around late-2010. Remember, I first warned that the bubble would come in July 2009 in Fool's Gold. I even predicted the peak price at $2000. I even published an announcement in fall of 2011 that I was selling the last of my silver coins when the price was just under $50 per ounce. All along I knew what the result would be. And I realized it wasn’t going to be too pretty for most of the individuals who had been suckered by the precious metals propaganda that was spreading like a California wildfire unless they happened to be a dealer of precious metals or one of the thousands of paid pumpers. You see, precious metals dealers and promoters win the game regardless where the price of gold and silver head. I tried to emphasize that point over and over years ago, but the gold bugs just couldn’t see the light. This is typical when you’ve become inducted into a cult. These same cult members failed to ask themselves if it made sense that the same people who were telling them that fiat currencies were going to be worthless were willing to accept this fiat currency for gold and silver. And let’s not forget, these are the same characters who have been claiming physical gold and silver have been in short supply for years. Yet, they’ve been anxious to sell you their physical gold and silver for your “worthless” fiat currency. Truly amazing, huh? Although gold had not yet entered a bubble at the time, all of the essential elements required to create a bubble were already present throughout the internet and broadcast media. So I knew it was coming. It was all so obvious to me. So I felt it was my duty to do something before it was too late. I began my crusade to warn the public about an upcoming bubble in precious metals in July 2009. I began these warnings with an article I wrote called Fool’s Gold which was published in three parts. In this now famous article, Fool’s Gold, I not only discussed the manipulation by gold dealers, I also explained the proper use of gold. I also warned gold bugs of the need to have an exit strategy instead of holding it forever. I also laid out a rough multi-decade forecast for gold which included a peak from between $1500 to $2000 per ounce. Thereafter, I predicted the gold bubble would burst and gold would remain in a downward trend for many years, ultimately declining to $300 to $400 where it would remain for many years. See Fool’s Gold (part 2). As it turned out, thus far I have been 100% correct about gold and silver. I actually hold the leading investment forecasting track record in the world since 2006; a claim backed by $1 million. See here. Some of my track record is here (other portions of my investment research track record have either not been released in order to protect the value of our research forecasts or we have not had a chance to post updates since our focus is providing world-class research, not marketing). In fact, I even predicted the bullish retracement in gold and silver that began in early 2016. Subscribers to the CCPM Forecaster know this all too well. Now if you're still waiting for gold to fall to $300 to $400 (I later increased this range to $500) just give it some time. Remember that this forecast was very rough and was made BEFORE quantitative easing was launched. Finally, it was a forecast for 20 to 30 years from 2009. While the precious metals propaganda army was proclaiming this rally in 2016 as the beginning of a new bull market in gold and silver, I specially stated that the upside would last one or two years and would represent a nice selling opportunity because it would only turn out to be a retracement rally from within a long-term bear market as opposed to the beginning of a new bull market in gold. A few years before this rally, I had even mentioned the possibility that gold and silver could enter a one or two-year bull market that would not last and would not push gold prices beyond $1500. I added that this rally would most likely suck many poorly informed individuals into it as they thought it was the start of a new bull market. As is always the case, whenever someone writes or says something that isn’t so positive about gold or silver, the precious metals cult comes out of the wood works reiterating numerous myths and lies they have been told by their gold pumping ring leaders. After a while of hearing and reading the typical nonsense these cult members rattle off, you can predict just about everything they will say in advance. It's almost like a script. It can be a bit scary to come across some of these individuals because you start to wonder what's going on in their heads. At the same time the gold bugs assume individuals who have made disparaging remarks about gold and silver must have an axe to grind or are “bashers.” Without looking into the person’s background or examining their track record, they rattle off their predictable nonsense, like a script. Of course, if these cult members were aware of the critical need to look into the background and track record of everyone who opens their mouth, and if they were capable of accurately assessing track records, they wouldn’t be stuck holding gold and silver with huge losses. As an example, I do not know of a single person in the precious metals pumping syndicate that has a good track record or even has real credibility. Can you name a single individual from that gang that has a good track record of forecasts? I can't. In fact, every single one of those slime balls have served as excellent contrarian indicators. Can you name a single gold-pumping ring leader who has real credibility? I can't. Is there a single one of these gold shysters that doesn't have a shady past? So far I haven't found a single one with a clean slate. And I’ve investigated just about every single one of these hucksters. My former clients know I was recommending gold stocks beginning in late-2001 because I sensed the beginning of a bull market in gold; but not due to economic fundamentals. The fact is that there are no real fundamentals underlying gold and silver pricing other than supply and demand. The main reason why gold and silver began their bull run during that time was due to the dotcom bubble collapse as well as the impact of 9-11 on the capital markets combined with many years of suppressed gold and silver pricing. Two years before the financial crisis began I recommended buying gold and silver (America's Financial Apocalypse, 2006) as one component of what end up being extraordinarily lucrative investment strategy. 1 The following image was taken from America's Financial Apocalypse (Extended Version, 2006). But rather than advising people to buy physical gold and silver unlike what all precious metals dealers were doing, I recommended buying the gold and silver ETFs because they were associated with much lower transaction costs. I also preferred ETFs because they were liquid, unlike physical gold and silver. Finally, I discussed the need to have an exit strategy in gold and silver as well as the need to trade the ETFs in order to reduce risk by exploiting the price volatility. I reiterated this message in my 2009 article Fool's Gold, as well as in many other articles, videos and audios. The following image was taken from America's Financial Apocalypse (Extended Version, 2006). What can I say? Shoot me for acting honestly and trying to educate everyday investors while helping them avoid being ripped off by gold dealers. Incidentally, I think it's important to note that these recommendations for handling precious metals are standard protocol for every legitimate financial professional. The problem was that there were no legitimate financial professionals pitching gold and silver. There still aren’t any today. And I doubt tomorrow will be any different given the nature of that very shady industry. At best you had a couple of boiler room stock brokers, at least one of which had previously been accused of fraud by securities industry regulators. I find it ironic that the same man who was accused of fraudulent marketing practices in the 1990s was pulling the same kinds of stunts in a few years ago, but this time for some reason he got away with it. Many other figure head precious metals dealers and pumpers came from shady pasts as well. If the small handful of gold pumpers who came from the financial industry had any real knowledge about finance, economics, valuations and how the capital markets operate, they sure didn’t express this knowledge. All they were doing was pitching fear and greed while playing on the emotions of confused and worried individuals who simply wanted to do the right thing for their future. By definition, this was a huge con. It was and remains illegal. That means everyone involved could face legal actions, but only if enough people complain to the right authorities. Now you know why these gold pumpers are desperate to keep the cult members deluded. In short, they want the cult members who have lost huge amounts of money (and also stand to lose much more in the future) to keep the hope alive. But of course they're also hoping to recruit new members in order to rack up more commissions and pump the price of gold and silver up. The problem is that many of these people who were burned as well as younger potential new recruits have moved into cryptocurrencies. Yes of course the cryptocurrency market is another scam run by the same gang that's behind the precious metals industry, Wall Street, the banks, the Federal Reserve, the media and many other industries. By now you know who I'm talking about. If you want to get scammed, this group will make sure it happens. I would advise everyone to avoid anything being run by Jews unless you have someone by your side who really knows what's going on. And if you don't understand the tribal nature of Jews you probably don't realize how and why they take over entire industries while everyone on the outside gets hosed. Many of these cult members will die still believing the lies they swallowed from the precious metals pumpers. Others will gradually fade out of the cult and back into reality. Either scenario will be effective because each one will reduce the odds that a sufficient number of victims will file a complaints with various state attorneys general and federal trade commission. Most of these victims don't even know who to file complaints with. Continuation of the propaganda will also act to help ensure various statutes of limitations have come and passed so long as the precious metals cult leaders are able to keep hope alive. One of the biggest precious metals pumping cult leaders has the kind of resume you'd expect from this gang of charlatans. He was a high school dropout. And his only work experience prior to selling gold and silver was as a car audio salesman. After selling car radios, he became one of the hard-sell pitchmen associated with the Robert Kiyosaki’s “cash flow” and “wealth generator” seminar scams. Perhaps you've heard about these scams on infomercials if you happen to watch Jerry Springer or Cheaters reruns at 2am or 3am? They're always set up at hotels near the airport so they can make a fast getaway after they've conned the suckers who show up for the "free" event. Anyway, I could go on and on about this epic scam which is not likely to even be recorded in history books since after all, the media was a prime player. And I’m not just talking about the so-called “alternative media.” While frauds like Alex Jones, Jeff Rense and thousands of other liars and con artists consider “alternative media” talking heads were pushing all kinds of crazy conspiracies and fronting wild stories about the economy and such, the so-called mainstream media was also involved in the gold pumping scam. I’ll just mention a few names to fresh your memory. Peter Schiff, Glenn Beck, Ron Paul, and every single conservative talking head on the radio such as Mark Levine, Jerry Doyle, etc. Think about it.

Opening Statement from the July 2018 Dividend Gems Originally published on July 15, 2018 Overview Despite continued signs of strength in the economy and the trend of strong earnings growth, investors remain primarily focused on the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s approach to restructuring global trade deals. In particular emerging markets have been hit hard, with Southeast Asia and Latin America having received a great deal of the adverse impact of trade uncertainty... Market Pulse As a result of the uncertainties regarding US trade policy, the DJIA is only up for the year by a modest 0.8%. In contrast, the S&P 500 has been able to post respectable gains of 3.9% due to exceptional outperformance of select tech giants. In particular a small handful of tech stocks have accounted for nearly all of the gains in the S&P 500 year-to-date... By contrast, the Nasdaq continues to benefit from investor apprehension due to trade uncertainty, hitting new record-highs. As a result, the Nasdaq has posted a whopping year-to-date return of 11.7%, as investors pile into stocks thought to be less vulnerable to trade issues... Earnings Given the lackluster performance of the DJIA and S&P 500 since trade talks began in March, one might assume earnings estimates have taken some hits due to trade uncertainty... Interest Rates Given the high chance of a boost in short-term interest rates (really the Fed funds rate) by an additional 50 basis points for 2018, as well as a series of rate hikes totaling 75 basis points in 2019, we are likely to head into 2020 with short-term rates slightly above... However, we believe rates are not likely to exceed...
Opening Statement from the July 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on July 1, 2018 Overview Given our initial forecast for a boost in global growth released in September 2017, we have remained guarded in terms of commodities pricing for a variety of reasons. In review of more recent variables, we discussed that commodities have been underperforming relative to global economic demand and growth as a result of the possibility and extent of changes to trade policy on global growth. Moreover, we pointed to recent fund outflows from emerging markets as a consequence of these concerns. Trump’s trade threats continue to weigh a great deal on the capital markets. In particular emerging markets have been hit hard with Southeast Asian and Latin American nations leading the way. In short, we view Trump’s strategy and approach to trade negotiation as reckless and counterproductive. As one might imagine, business uncertainty as a result of trade demands from Washington has adversely impacted commodities pricing. Notably, the commodities index we track in this publication (GCC) has declined below... While the global economy has taken a few shots as a result of Trump’s “trade tirade,” it remains on solid ground. But it is certainly not as strong as it was prior to Trump’s trade tantrum which commenced in March. Regardless, investors should note that global trade issues alone could ultimately adversely impact the economy and capital markets. The problem is that the longer trade discussions persist without amicable compromise, the greater the chance that business and investor uncertainty will persist. At the same time, gradually rising interest rates in the US will add pressure on other central banks to begin raising rates. As a very rough estimate, we believe pressure will begin to mount by... China The recent selloff in Chinese equities officially pushed China into bear market territory after a decline of 20% from the peak made in the stock market early in the year. In isolation this does not necessarily indicate that the Chinese stock market will remain bearish throughout 2018. However, increasing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing is adding further strain on China’s economic growth picture, which already faces credit growth constraints during a period when it seeks to transition from an export-based manufacturing economy to an economy based on primarily domestic consumption. [1] In addition, the yuan experienced its largest monthly decline ever versus the USD in June. Unlike the sudden rapid devaluations in 2015 and 2016 due to interventions by the Chinese central bank, we believe the plunge in currency value was the result of USD strength versus emerging market currencies as a result of trade concerns. As you can imagine, worries over further devaluation of the yuan can intensify efforts by Chinese nationals to withdrawal capital from the mainland (capital flight) which in itself can create problems. And we must not forget that a weakened yuan versus the USD is in direct conflict with many of the trade objectives stated by Washington. Finally, we cannot forget that China’s credit boom is one of the largest and longest in world history. Historical data indicate that credit booms of this size and duration often precede financial crises. But the case with China is different altogether and really has no historical context so we must remain especially diligent in monitoring the situation. Chinese officials continue to scale down risky assets while minimizing loss of economic growth. Nonetheless, we believe... Oil As a means by which to corner Iran economically, Washington has been pressuring the world to ban Iranian oil exports. Recently Washington announced that nations will have until November 2018 to completely wean off of Iranian oil imports or else they will face tariffs from the US. This announcement caused oil pricing to soar after a badly needed bearish retracement. However, Trump’s pattern of unpredictability as well as his sporadic if not irrational approach leads us to consider that these demands could be altered in the future. Currently the White House is attempting to convince Saudi Arabia to boost output in order to make up for supply reductions due to the boycott on Iranian oil. A definitive announcement in favor of such a boost is likely to result in a short-term selloff in oil, as traders are most likely looking for an excuse to lock in profits before setting up for the next leg up in oil pricing. In conclusion, while we are sticking to our previous target range for Brent and WTI crude pricing, we believe there is plenty of room for additional geopolitical events that could push oil pricing beyond what we have deemed to be our fair value price range based on supply and demand. But such price movements should be treated as short-term manifestations of price inefficiency rather than a realistic reflection of the current bull trend. US Dollar Strength As Trump’s trade demands have strengthened, investors have been piling into to the USD for safe haven refuge. This trend could reverse the previous weakness in the USD thereby creating sufficient strength to maintain the longer-term bull trend. Regardless, to reiterate, we believe the dollar is likely to remain strong throughout 2018. Furthermore, continuation of trade uncertainty is likely to strengthen the USD versus various currencies in SE Asia and Latin America. As previously discussed... Interest Rates In the June 2018 issue of the CCPM Forecaster we stated the likelihood of four rates hikes for 2018. A few days after the June 2018 CCPM Forecaster was released we reported in the June 2018 Intelligent Investor (Part 1) that the Fed would most likely raise rates by 25 basis points during its June meeting. During its June meeting the Federal Reserve upped its bias from three to four rate hikes for 2018 after raising short-term interest rates by 25 basis points. Approximately two months earlier the Fed raised its bias for three rate hikes from a previous two for 2019. Gold & Silver Although gold has remained in a mild bull trend since having made multi-year lows ($1,046) in late December 2015, the longer term trend remains bearish. This observation is nothing new to tenured subscribers of the CCPM Forecaster. In contrast, after mounting a rally from multi-year lows made in late December 2015 ($13.63) silver has been in decline and remains in a bear trend from a long, intermediate and short-term perspective. We have emphasized our longer-term sentiment for gold and silver as an important part of our trading strategy. We believe this big picture perspective has proven invaluable, as it has helped traders navigate gold and silver trading with stunning accuracy for several years. Rather than gold serving as a safe haven asset as some might have anticipated, the US dollar has filled this role. We have continued to witness this trend for several years. Looking ahead, as short-term interest rates continue to trend upward it will put more downward pressure on gold pricing. And once the ECB begins to hike rates... Over the past decade, we have published a plethora of articles, audios and videos covering virtually every aspect pertaining to gold and silver. These publications have been focused on presenting the realities of precious metals while debunking the countless myths and lies spread by the huge network of charlatans. Overall, we have decisively demonstrated that gold and silver should never be considered as prudent investments. Most often, gold and silver serve as short-term trading vehicles and on occasion, alternative investment strategies of limited duration for active investors...
Members of the charlatan network constantly interview and promote each other, all while passing out false claims about the track records of their peer charlatans. When they interview them they also like to tell us all how important these guys are. Only naive stooges fall for this fake credibility tactic. Always suspect anyone of being a con artist or fraud when they are always telling you superificial things about how they are in demand by big guys or big funds, especially when they fail to provide you with specific names. If you have real results you don't need to create the perception that you are credible. Con artists pull this tactic because they know their audience is naive and is likely to fall for this fake credibility scam. Real credibility is shown by your track record. And similar to every other Jewish fear-mongering clown, Martin Armstrong has a lousy track record; so lousy in fact that he ran a Ponzi scheme in attempt to cover up for his investment losses. Yet, he expects you to believe that sovereign wealth funds give a rat's ass what he says. This is hilarious.
Opening Statement from the June 2018 Dividend Gems Originally published on June 17, 2018 In the May 2018 Dividend Gems webinar (held on May 28, 2018; recorded session can be found in the 2018 Dividend Gems video folder), we discussed that investors should consider trimming down their oil securities positions in order to generate cash for better opportunities because we believed oil pricing had reached the upper limit for now. In the May 2018 issue of Dividend Gems we provided general exit guidance for each of the oil-related securities. We also provided some recommended sectors with which to allocate cash from the oil sector. The sectors we focused on were...
This presentation required several years of research and effort. It consists of more than 100 pages and contains some of our most insightful analyses and conclusions regarding the fear-mongering, gold pumping, copywriting syndicate which claims to offer "investment insight." Let me be clear. Doug Casey and this huge syndicate of sleaze balls are about as detached from real investment insight as humanly possible. They are masters of deception, emotional exploitation and cult formation. List of SOME of Mike's articles and videos on Gold Due to the intense effort required to create this publication as well as the valuable education contained within this report this publication in its entirety is only available to Clients and Members. As a part of our continuing efforts to expose charlatans, we have made a few pages of this massive publication available to the general public. We have never asked for one penny of donations from anyone for this work, nor have we ever received a single penny of advertising revenues. Folks, there's no free lunch. If in fact you want to continue being lied to and brainwashed by ad-based content, you will continue to remain clueless as to what is really going on. This is likely to cause you to lose huge sums of money. Keep in mind that when you decide whether or not to listen to the ideals of someone, it is critical to determine their credibility and agendas. So how does Mike stack up in terms of credibility? As most of you already know, Mike holds the leading investment forecasting track record in the world since 2006. In fact, Mike is the only person we know of to have ever attached a $100,000 reward available to anyone who could prove that he doesn’t hold the leading investment forecasting track record in the world. We have increased the reward to $1,000,000. See here and here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The sole reason why I devoted several years to write America's Financial Apocalypse (2006) and Cashing In On the Real Estate Bubble (2007) was to warn the public of what believed would be forthcoming. As those who have read these books are aware, I not only provided a big picture assessment of the U.S. economy and societal decay, I also included the most detailed and accurate analysis of the risks that would ultimately lead to the financial crisis. For instance, these books included recommendations to go to cash and wait for the blow out, to short the prime mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the subprime mortgage stocks, GM, GE, the banks and homebuilders. These and many of the additional recommendations were unmatched and remain unpredented. These books also included an unprecedented analysis on Social Security, the retirement system and healthcare. These and many of the additional recommendations were unmatched and remain unpredented. Even today, nearly ten years later these books remain extremely valuable to both professional and amateur investors alike. Unfortunately, by that time the problems were made apparent in mid-2008 I had been completely blacklisted by all media. This was very bizarre. At the time I did not understand how the game is played, but I have since learned the details of this game and I have been exposing the Jewish Mafia's media scam ever since. Unfortunately, by that time the problems were made apparent in mid-2008 I had been completely blacklisted by all media. This was very bizarre. At the time I did not understand how the game is played, but I have since learned the details of this game and I have been exposing the Jewish Mafia's media scam ever since. Despite spending large sums of money in addition to ridiculous amounts of time and effort, I received no media access with which to caution Americans as to what I believed would happen. Keep in mind that I was not some marketing charlatan spewing a fear-mongering, broken clock pitch in order to lure people to invest with me or purchase my research. I was not in the securities or precious metals business and I had not formed AVA Investment Analytics at the time. And I had no plans to do so. These points are very important to keep in mind because they demonstrate that my intentions were pure. I managed to utilize the limited portals I could find. But soon I would experience censorship in each of these platforms as well for a variety of reasons which really woke me up as to the fraudulent nature of all media. By now, it should be obvious to everyone who has read these books and the large number of articles I've written since mid-2008 that I hold the leading track record on the financial collapse. Furthermore, my research publications which began in mid-2009 have placed me as the number one investment forecaster dating back to late-2006. In fact, I was probably the only financial professional in the world who was extremely bearish prior to the financial crisis, predicted the financial crisis in detail, AND turned cautiously bullish once the US stock market bottomed in March 2009. I have gradually became more bullish over the following three years. I was certainly without a doubt, the only financial professional in the world to have presented a detailed and compelling case for a collapse in the real estate market, followed by a collapse in the stock market, unmasking a depression which really began after the dotcom collapse. In contrast, many others (all of which have been Jewish) have been touted as having predicted the financial crisis, despite facts that point to the contrary. Even after the financial crisis, many (most of which are Jewish) have been put on a pedestal as they offer their solutions. How credible are your solutions when you failed to recognize the problem? Shouldn't the only man to have recognized and detailed the problems be provided with portal with which to communicate the solutions? As many are aware, I was one of the first individuals to have recommended precious metals in the context of the economic collapse that resulted from the popping of the real estate bubble. A few years after the financial collapse, I realized gold and silver were being fraudulently pumped by a huge gang of con artists who seized the fear and anger of the masses to forward their propaganda. It was then that began to issue warnings about buying precious metals as I exposed the gold-pumping charlatan syndicate. I have also been issuing warnings regarding the seemingly endless myths and lies about gold and silver that have been spread by a huge syndicate of con men. The facts are clear. These gold con men have been completely wrong and I have been completely right. One of the reasons for this is due to the fact that I am a pure research analyst and strategist who is not in the business of selling precious metals, stocks, bonds or advertisements. Thus, I do not care which direction any assets go. The only thing I care about is spotting the best risk-adjusted investments. In contrast, these gold con men are precious metals dealers and promoters of precious metals who are paid for selling and promoting the sales of precious metals. And they seeking to make money by selling false narratives, fear-mongering and making false statements. Keep in mind that I have no financial or investment interest in gold or silver sales or pricing. In contrast, the precious metals con men have formed syndicates with each other and cults for their sheep in order to fleece what is clearly a largely unsophisticated, low net worth crowd, using a variety of psychological tactics in addition to the constant barrage of false and misleading statements. As more of my forecasts materialized after the financial crisis, the forces seeking to shut me out of all media became more intense. As many of you know, I have also been completely blackballed by all so-called "alternative media." Think about that. What does that tell you? It should tell you that there is really no fundamental difference between the so-called "mainstream" and "alternative media." It should tell you that there is really no fundamental difference between the so-called "mainstream" and "alternative media." Although both are controlled by the Jewish Mafia, each uses a different spin. But at the end of the day, they share the common objectives of fleecing their audience using a variety of censorship tactics and misinformation in order to raise the price which they can charge their advertisers, gold and silver dealers, doomsday equipment suppliers, financial firms, etc. In order to better understand specifically how this ring of precious metals charlatans operates, a few years ago I began exposing the copyediting industry. Once you develop a good understanding of this industry, I can guarantee you will save yourself from losing a huge amount of money. In this article (and video) I am going to show you an example of even more clowns who have duplicated Porter Stansberry’s fear-mongering tactics in order to lure naive people into their doomsday, fear-mongering marketing ploys. In case you may have forgotten, it was Porter Stansberry who began releasing fear-mongering infomercials marketed as documentaries back in 2010. Stansberry's first infomercial was called the "End of America." In this ridiculous fear-mongering presentation, littered with lies and deceptve statements Stansberry made bogus claims as to his track record in order to get the attention of the sheep. Next, he claimed that the stock market would collapse and gold would soar in 2010, and that these trends would remain in place for years to come. As far as I can recall, it was the first infomercial that was spread to the masses, as it was even advertised on radio and television by none other than the gold-pumping con man and pathological liar himself, Alex Jones. It would be late 2011 by the time this infomercial had spread sufficiently. By 2012 most people had either watched it or had heard about it. We all know how the stock market and gold have performed since 2012. In addition to his own shenanigans (which include defrauding his sheep subscribers) Stansberry has even BOUGHT OFF numerous clowns who have been promoted by the media (mainstream and alternative) as "experts" whose warnings should be considered. The following list is by no means comprehensive...Jim Rickards, Ron Paul and David Stockman. Also keep in mind that hundreds of other broken clock doomsday douchebags have business relationships with Agora Financial, Porter Stansberry and Doug Casey (a couple of years ago Agora bought Casey Research). Guys like Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers...the list goes on. They are all the same and they hang in the same circles. They also create fake media by interviewing each other and hiring others to interview them, as I first exposed several years ago. Remember, a man is judged by the company he keeps. As many will recall, I was the first person to use the term fake media several years ago when pointing to this nonsense. Add these newcomer clowns to the doomsday douchebag syndicate and you have a huge pool of scumbags all with terrible track records, looking to sucker you into buying their books, newsletters, or selling you gold and silver and charging huge commissions. Today’s charlatan pitch comes to us from Casey Research (see video below). You might recall I previously exposed the fact that Casey Research is published by the same gutter shop that publishes Porter Stansberry's bull shit. The name of this boiler room operation is Agora Financial. And I have exposed these scum bags many times in the past. Needless to say, Agora is connected with one of the fringe elements of the Jewish Mafia. Ironically, Stansberry recently purchased Casey Research. I must admit it's a nice fit for Stansberry given that both outfits are run by idiots who have absolutely no idea what is going on and who seek to deceive people. Before I expose Casey's BS in a video (at the end of this article) I wanted to give readers a quick summary of this clown so they will realize who they are dealing with. We have detailed the reality of Casey Research previously in our Encyclopedia of Bozos, Hacks, Snake Oil Salesmen and Faux Heroes. It's not complicated. In fact, it's quite simple. Doug Casey and his associates are gold-pumping copywriting clowns and penny stock promoters. And they often take positions in the penny stocks they pump to the fools who follow them. You can guess what happens once the suckers buy shares and push the price up. The charade doesn't stop there. There are a plethora of websites, most of which are OWNED or FUNDED by precious metals dealers and other charlatans; sites like Zero Hedge (we previously released a 100-page research report exposing Zero Hedge) and so on. Virtually all precious metals chat forums are also controlled by precious metals dealers or others being compensated by precious metals dealers. This is all being done to further brainwash the sheep. In my opinion, their level of credibility is on par with their integrity, which is quite low. They call themselves "analysts" but once you examine the background of these guys, you will then realize that anyone can claim to be an analyst. Like all gold pumpers, Doug Casey and his clowns claim the U.S. dollar is headed to 0. Isn't this the same song and dance we keep hearing from the rest of the rat pack?
Opening Statement from the June 2018 Intelligent Investor (Part 1: Securities Analysis) Originally published on June 7, 2018 (pre-market release) Overview Investors remain focused on the uncertainty underlying the possible trade deals to be proposed by the White House.

Opening Statement from the June 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on June 3, 2018 Overview For several months we have been discussing the broad based strength in the global economy. One might assume this would necessarily translate into higher pricing for commodities. On the contrary, pricing for most commodities has remained relatively subdued. In contrast, stock markets have soared as a result of higher earnings growth estimates. Given our forecast for a relative improvement in global macroeconomic activity, we have previously warned traders that commodities pricing is not likely to really “take off” for the foreseeable future for a variety of reasons. Although commodities pricing mounted a nice rally after reaching a cyclical bottom in 2016, much of the gains since then have been restricted to crude oil and base metals. Commodities might have traded higher than they have as a result of gradually increasing inflation if it were not for recent issues that have weighed on global investment and trade. Specifically, both businesses...

Opening Statement from the May 2018 Intelligent Investor (Part 1: Securities Analysis) Originally published on May 10, 2018 (pre-market release) Big Picture We have previously discussed that the current bull market is the second longest in the post-war period. Up until recently the current economic expansion had been the third-longest since the post-war period. This expansion is now in line with the bull market. The month of May marks the 107th month of the post-crisis expansion. As a result, the current economic expansion is now the second-longest since the post-war period, having recently surpassed the expansion between 1961 through 1970 (106 months). The expansion between 1991 through 2000 remains on the record books as the longest since the post-war period at 120 months. Will we surpass this expansion? If so, it would most likely extend the current bull market into the longest since the post-war period. Based on our current assessment, we believe... Whether or not or to what extent this possible record-setting economic expansion and bull market are based on fully valid fundamentals is a completely different topic of discussion. Our objective is to understand the most important variables, estimate relative probabilities of material events and to navigate the capital markets based on our assessment of these variables and estimates of relative probabilities rather than to focus on contemplating if or why something does or does not make sense. Individuals who focus on the latter pose a severe threat to the objectives of investors because they are likely to be inundated with the trivial dogma and nonsense. Individuals who focus on apocalyptic themes or rant about the Federal Reserve will never make money as investors. But this is not their goal. These individuals seek to exploit others by pitching dogmas and virtually impossible narratives. And they rely on the media to provide them with sufficient exposure with which to lure their prey. They are charlatans disguised as financial experts. And they are provided with constant media exposure with which to leverage into book and newsletter sales and anything else that ties into their fear mongering rants. Unfortunately there are numerous charlatans who steer investors into this destructive mindset. These investors are first transformed into cult members. Eventually, the cult members become addicted to the narratives they have swallowed from their cult leaders. They eat, sleep and dream about the dogma preached by these cult leaders rather than seeking out credible investment analysts who are able to deliver unbiased, actionable, prudent and profitable investment insights and strategies. Ultimately, as you can imagine, many of these cult members miss out on tremendous gains in the capital markets. Others lose nearly everything after having been fooled by the ever so predictable sales pitches from the mouths of these slick con artists. Ultimately, these investors become victims. I have been exposing media charlatans and their numerous scams for many years now hoping to remind investors what their focus should be and who they should avoid. Sadly, these efforts have largely fallen on deaf ears, for it is always much easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they have been fooled. This is especially true today with the internet as the prime source of information for many people. The internet is completely filled with disinformation. It’s even worse than broadcast and print media. As a result, it is virtually impossible for most people to use the internet as a source of information on complex and subjective topics such as economics and investments. Yet, this is precisely where most people get their economic and investment insights. And they actually believe they know what’s going on when very few individuals actually do. Social media has made the internet exponentially more dangerous.
Always remember that anyone or any media firm that promotes this guy for anything cannot be trusted and should never receive your attention. And when MarketWatch is promoting Robbins as some kind of investment authority that's what I call media fraud. The video below says it all.
Opening Statement from the May 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on May 6, 2018 Overview For several months we have been discussing the broad based strength in the global economy. One might assume this would necessarily translate into higher pricing for commodities. On the contrary, pricing for most commodities has remained relatively subdued. In contrast, stock markets have soared as a result of higher earnings growth estimates. Given our forecast for a relative improvement in global macroeconomic activity, we have previously warned traders that commodities pricing is not likely to really “take off” for the foreseeable future for a variety of reasons. Although commodities pricing mounted a nice rally after reaching a cyclical bottom in 2016, much of the gains since then have been restricted to crude oil and base metals. As you will recall, oil pricing collapsed in late 2014 after Saudi Arabia announced plans to continue to push output during a period when demand was weakening. Within a few months thereafter, the entire oil industry was facing financial difficulties as lower pricing pressured margins and hit the most leveraged firms the hardest. The financial damage was especially notable in the Master Limited Partnerships (MLP) segment from the USA and exploration firms focused in the Canadian oil sands region. Given the mild but steady progress made in inflation over the past several months, commodities might have traded higher if it were not for recent issues that have weighed on global investment and trade. Specifically, both businesses and investors remain concerned about the ramifications of changes to US trade policy on global growth. Notably, emerging markets appear to be showing signs of weakness as a result of these concerns and fund flows confirm this trend. Concerns over the future of global trade agreements have adversely impacted the stock market to a much greater degree. Finally, under normal circumstances...
Many of the sheep who support the Republican Party claim George Soros is behind just about every liberal organization and leftist event in the world. That sounds like a great way to avoid pointing to the real force behind things; the Jewish mafia. It's a common reactionary impulse that has been embedded into the minds of these sheep. By the way, you probably already know that Soros is Jewish. Self-proclaimed libertarian charlatan Alex Jones and other conspiracy con artists pull the same stunt when pointing the finger at the Federal Reserve, Wall Street bankers and the so-called "illuminati" without ever mentioning the fact that they're all controlled by the Jewish mafia. These same conspiracy crack pots also like to point to the "Rothschilds" as the source of problems around the world today. Again, the purpose of this tactic is to avoid identifying the Jewish mafia as the real culprit. While the Rothschild family is no doubt part of the Jewish mafia, the fact is that they are relatively insignificant players today. Today, it's the heads of large Wall Street banks and media giants who are run the Jewish mafia. Likewise, the sheep who support the Democratic Party as well as those who consider themselves to be liberals and progressives have their own go-to guy to blame for many of the world's problems; the Koch brothers. What you might not realize is that the Koch brothers are also Jewish. Again, blaming large-scale events and movements on one man is a convenient way to avoid identifying the real culprit; the Jewish mafia. This tactic has a purpose. If people start to realize that a large group of Jewish individuals control so much of what is wrong in the world today, the Jewish mafia would be targeted by the opposition. But so long as the Jewish mafia controls the so-called “mainstream media” as well as the so-called “alternative media,” the majority of the public will never understand what's really going on. Some of the sheep will get their perception of reality from FOX and think they’re on top of things. Others will get their perception of reality from PBS, CNN or CBS and think they’re on top of things. The same goes for the other broadcast networks. The same analogy applies to the different slants offered by print and Internet media. Others have concluded that the so-called "mainstream media" cannot be trusted so they head to an even worse source for information; the so-called "alternative media." What none of the sheep realize is that all media firms work for the same crime bosses. The Jewish mafia. Constantly blaming entities like the Federal Reserve or Wall Street bankers without identifying the underlying source of control serves no constructive purpose. That's the idea behind this tactic. As well, blaming prominent individuals for large-scale events while attaching political agendas to their motives is not at all an accurate assessment of reality, nor is it a productive exercise. The ultimate objectives of the Jewish mafia are financial. They want a good return on their investment. It's that simple. And because money and power are often intertwined, the Jewish mafia also seeks to gain power over entire industries, resources, influential individuals and dominant mechanisms of control. All of their actions are ultimately for the purpose of obtaining more money. If you continue to avoid pointing to the specific source of the problem you will never be in a position to find adequate solutions. So who is the Jewish mafia? All one has to do is examine...

Opening Statement from the April 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on April 5, 2018 (pre-market release) As expected, on March 21 newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Powell announced that the Fed voted to raise short-term interest rates by 25 basis points, pushing rates up to the 1.50% to 1.75% range. During the March meeting the Fed raised its 2019 estimate to three 25 basis point rate hikes, but kept the current three 25 basis point estimate for 2018 unchanged. This was a prudent move since it’s too early to know whether the economy will be strong enough to need four rate hikes in 2018. We continue to believe short-term interest rates will be raised by at least 75 basis points in 2018 and at least by 50 basis points in 2019. Two Stages of the Stock Market Correction We have divided the current stock market correction into two stages (see the chart below). The first stage was due mainly to superficial events. First, on Friday, February 2 the BLS reported jobs data that beat expectations, raising the chance of three interest rate hikes rather than the previous estimate of two by Wall Street. The following week the selloff escalated due to the confluence of margin calls, programmed trading and short selling. The low in the Dow for this the first stage of the correction was 23,360 on February 9. The market mounted a nice rally every day the following week, confirming...
Opening Statement from the April 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on April 2, 2018 (pre-market release) Overview For the first time in the post-crisis period we are seeing solid economic growth from the advanced economies, emerging markets and China. This implies a trend of higher commodities pricing for 2018 and 2019. Despite the anticipated boost in commodities demand, pricing is likely to remain relatively low for the foreseeable future. Over the past several weeks, lucrative opportunities for commodities trading have diminished due to continued uncertainty from investors. The initial leg of uncertainty was the result of...

If you lost money in gold, silver or precious metals stocks (including the so-called junior miners) you really need to read this article and listen to the recorded conversation I had with a Sprott employee.

Only Members and Clients will get full access to the results of my investigation into Sprott Asset Management and Eric Sprott. All I will say is that my research confirmed what I already knew.

One of the easiest ways to get a good sense of how dumbed down and naive the general public has become is to note the striking resemblance between the financial media, trash TV (such as so-called "reality TV") and the so-called "alternative media." For instance, instead of airing credible experts with proven track records, the financial media most often features broken clock sales men who are nothing more than shills, idiots and/or sharks; often all three. Notably, these individuals are almost always Jewish. This latter point addresses another objective of the Jewish media which I will discuss later. Indeed, many of the interviews you'll see on CNBC, FOX Business or Bloomberg TV seem to have been scripted by the same Hollywood producers who created reality TV shows such as "The Biggest Loser." As well, these fake financial news segments sometimes look like something that would only be seen from an Alex Jones infomercial where conspiracy cult leader Jones insists that the "globalists are Nazis" and they want to kill you, while peddling penis enlargement pills and other nonsense. Of course the so-called "globalists" are not Nazis. Nazis no longer exist (although the kosher media will insist they do in order to shift the heat away from the Jewish mafia). The "globalists" are primarily Jewish crime bosses and to a smaller degree, their Gentile puppets. Use of the term "globalists" is just another example of how Alex Jones and other shills for the Jewish mafia point the blame on a non-descript collective group in order to avoid mention that these "globalists" are mostly Jewish and puppets of the Jews. Because the media claims these financial charlatans are economic or investment "experts" while either lying about or refusing to discuss comprehensive results of their miserable track record, the audience goes along with these false claims as if they were true. For example, let's take a closer look at one of the media's main "go-to" guys when the kosher clan wants to "inform" (dupe and manipulate) its audience with "valuable insight" (disinfo, fear and greed-ladden rhetoric). Over the past decade Peter Schiff has become a very frequent participant in the financial media's dog-and-pony show. Schiff receives interviews every day. He often gives multiple interviews on a daily basis from every segment of the Jewish media, from CNBC and FBN, to Bloomberg. He also gets quoted or discussed in in the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Forbes, Fortune, The Financial Times; you name it. The value of this free publicity amounts to tens of millions of dollars. Thus, it's normal to assume that he must provide valuable insight to the audience and that he has been correct on the majority of occassions. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth, as I have proven countless times in the past. Regardless, this free publicity has enabled Mr. Schiff to lure the sheep into buying his useless books, fund his speaking gigs (which often results in ranting his everso predictable dogma), and even send their money to his firm to "invest." Accordingly, in my opinion, Peter Schiff could be considered the male version of a "financial Kim Kardashian" because he's generating large sums of money for himself by doing nothing other than rambling his nonsense dogma, designed to instill fear, greed and a sense of urgency to those foolish enough to waste their time listening to him. The full version of this article (including the videos) is available only to active Members and Clients. The Jewish media crime bosses prefer to simply ignore those who speak the truth and threaten to expose them as the best way to hide the scams from the public. In contrast, the Jewish media crime bosses continuously promote Jewish con men and clowns who have terrible track records as a way to enrich them all while steering the audience to their sponsors, most of which are Jewish Wall Street and related firms. Figure it out folks. It's not rocket science. View Mike Stathis' Track Record here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Retired congressman Ron Paul has been conning people for decades with his "bad government" lines so as to make it appear as if he is one of the few "good guys" in Washington "fighting for your freedom and liberty." After all, if voters were led to believe there are at least a few guys fighting for them in Washington they would continue to support America's corporate fascism which has been disguised as a two-party system of "democracy." But his role in government extends beyond offering hope to disenfranchised Americans. For instance, despite common perception Ron Paul has always supported strengthening the military-industrial complex. He cleverly hides this support for massive funding of the military by criticizing wars, but the reality is that he still wants taxpayers' Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid funds to be diverted to the Department of Defense. In fact, because the libertarian decree seeks to abolish Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid Paul somehow thinks it makes perfect sense to cut these benefits which have been funded by tax payers, and use the funds to feed the military-industrial complex. Maybe that's why the US Army, US Navy, US Airforce and Department of Defense, Boeing and Lockheed Martin were top financial contributors to Ron Paul's political career. But the largest role played by Ron Paul is to use the "freedom and liberty" sales pitch in order to strengthen America’s system of corporate fascism. This is really what libertarian ideology is all about. Don't let libertarians fool you. They are naive sheep who have been duped by their puppet masters. In reality, Charles and David Koch are huge backers of the Libertarian Party much in the same as they back the Tea Party. Serving as a gateway for corporate fascism has always been Ron Paul's role in Washington. And he managed to fool quite a few people for a very long time. Actually, even today most people remain fooled by him. In reality, Ron Paul has always served to control the opposition. Today, his son Rand has taken over where Ron left off. In fact, Rand has no problem kissing ass to Charles and David Koch and others who seek to strengthen America's system of corporate fascism. See here. Ever since retiring from public office, Ron Paul has stepped up his game as a charlatan. As a result, he is now making more money than ever before. The only problem is that what he's doing to make this money is highly unethical. And it might even raise some legal concerns. Paul has taken his fear-mongering lines and assembled them into numerous infomercial scripts with the help of the copywriting "craftsmen" working for...

Over the years I've written dozens of articles and made even more videos debunking the myths and lies made by Peter Schiff, as well as warning the public about his miserable track record and reckless financial advice. Schiff's propaganda could prove to be very dangerous to those who fall for it. Many suckers have already learned this the hard way. So long as Schiff continues to receive exposure from his buddies in the media, Schiff will remain as a danger to anyone foolish enough to believe his nonsense. Just look at his track record. It's probably the worst I have ever seen in my professional career in the financial industry spanning two decades.
If you want to see how con artists operate, watch the video I've posted below. Warning: these videos tend to last an hour or longer. But if you have the time to kill you can learn how con artists operate. What amazed me most about this video is that in the fourty-plus years Agora Financial has been in "business," with hundreds and hundreds of newsletter writers it calls "experts," not once have they landed a 20-bagger. That's shocking when you consider that when you're dealing with those kinds of numbers, by chance alone, out of the hundreds of jug heads that have written newsletters through Agora, there should have been at least a few 20-baggers over that four-decade period. But there wasn't a single one according to Ferris. That just goes to show you how pathetic Agora Financial is. Aside from that, Agora is a huge copyrighting boiler room filled with liars and con artists. Take Porter Stansberry for instance, the con man who has reportedly taken the helm at Agora. You remember Stansberry don't you? Not only was he sued by the SEC for ripping off his newsletter subscribers, he's also the clown who teamed up with Alex Jones to flood the internet and TV stations with his "End of America" doomsday infomercial video back in 2010. If you had listened to Stansberry and Jones, you lost your ass AND you missed out on the second longest bull market in US history! See here, here and here. That just goes to show you how pathetic Agora is. Aside from that, Agora is a huge copyrighting boiler room filled with liars and con artists. Meanwhile, I landed a 100-bagger when I recommended readers of the Wall Street Investment Bible to buy Netflix at a split-adjusted price of $3. My latest 20-bagger has been Nvidia. Nvidia has been on the Intelligent Investor recommended list since it was in the low-teens. Keep in mind that this list typically only contains about a dozen stocks. Before the artificial intelligence wave began to take off very few investors had even heard of Nvidia. I was one of the first analysts in the world to have recognized Nvidia as a great stock with massive long-term potential. In fact, I listed Nvidia as my #1 pick for long-term capital appreciation in the very first issue of the Intelligent Investor in June 2009. Think about that. So here's the deal. After Ferris spends most of the video pitch trying to convince you how great he is using the typical deception copywriters are infamous for, he tells you how great the stock he has discovered is and how it's virtually no risk. He mentions it's the greatest stock pick of his career. Once you find out what this stock, you'll probably agree that his claim is more of an indication of how miserable his career as a stock picker has been. After spending more time convincing the audience how great he is by using inaccurate and unsubstantiated claims, he tells you that you can learn the name of this "20-bagger" stock for the deep discounted price of $500. This gets you two years of his bull shit newsletter. Of course he doesn't mention that you will also be bombarded wuth endless trash from him and his scum bag associates at Agora trying to sell you all kinds of additional trash. You see, the newest trick used by copyrighting con artists is to lure you with free or very inexpensive offers in order to seie control over your mind via bombarding you with a barrage of other charlatans. Before you know, if you're like most sheep, you've taken the bait. Regardless, it was really easy for me to determine what the stock is that Ferris is talking about. And I will guarantee you that the stock I am about to list is in fact the exact same stock Feriss is talking about as the "best pick of his career," Are you ready? It's...
So you really think those liberal and progressive talking heads are on your side? Think again. Mike addresses this topic in the audio below.
By now it should be evident that MIke Stathis holds the world's leading investment forecasting track record. He has even backed this claim for several years with an increasingly huge guarantee which was raised more than a year ago to $1,000,000. Those familiar with his research cannot deny that he is also the world leader in debunking fake financial news. In fact, he might be the only person in the world doing this vital work. Stathis has become the sole voice of reason and credibility in this regard. Perhaps even more amazing than his abilities to debunk fake financial news is that he's been doing this work for free as a public service. Unlike the fake news scam artists who have built businesses based on their fake news, Stathis has actually gone out of his way and volunteered a huge amount of time and effort to expose the biggest lies and myths spread by the spin doctors of fake financial news. If you've been a folllower of Mike Stathis, surely by now you now who they are. He has never asked for a single penny of support. All that he asks is that you help your fellow citizen and spread the word about his work. Mike has gone to the effort to expose fake financial news and the charlatans behind this scam because there is almost no way you will ever have a chance to become a succesful investor unless you understand the fake financial media, how it works and the various charlatans who provide fake media. Too many people continue to be taken by the fake financial news scam artists.
Mike Stathis holds the leading investment forecasting track record in the world since 2006. Membership Resources Mike Stathis has amassed one of the most impressive investment analysis and forecasting track records in history. No one who is truly familiar with his track record can deny that. View Mike Stathis' Track Record here, here, here, here and here. He has even offered a $1,000,000 challenge backing up this claim. See here. The Jewish mafia can ban Mike Stathis but they can NOT take away his world-leading track record. Imagine someone with Stathis' track record and unique insights being banned by all media (mainstream and alternative). This is not fantasy. It's reality. Once you begin to understand how things work you will realize that all media (both mainstream and alternative) is designed to screw its audience by banning real experts who have no agendas while promoting shills, con artists, liars and anyone else who is willing to be bought off. Invariably, the Jewish-run media seeks to promote Jews to fill this deceptive role in order to enable them to profit from the scam. That explains why with only a composition of less than 2% in the US population, Jews completely dominate the so-called "expert" line up in the media (as well as executives positions in media firms, Wall Street, etc.). By preventing access to Stathis, the media crime bosses are stealing the wealth from the masses. As a result, the countless con artists promoted by the media continue to steer the masses down the gutter in a variety of ways which remain undetected by most people. For instance, the so-called "experts" pitch their books (which are invariably useless or provide terrible guidance/advice) to the sheep. These books cause the sheep to remain clueless if not reckless. These charlatans also preach all kinds of disinformation which causes them to be swindled through the purchase of a variety of financial products; financial products which are frequently advertised on those same media networks. Thus, the disinformation from the so-called "experts" in the media ultimately causes many of the sheep to line up for these products and services. This accomplishes the objectives of the media; to maximize return on investment by advertisers so that these advertisers will pony up even more money for ads for the next show. If you could image a world in which Mike Stathis received the media attention proportionate to his credibility and track record, you would see Main Street begin to benefit instead of being slaughtered. But this would not serve the media's agendas, as valued insight would cause the media to lose advertising revenue since the masses would no longer need to run to financial services firms for assistance. As impressive as Mike's investment track record is, some have suggested that the work he has done exposing the financial media and its so-called experts might be equally impressive. One could certainly form compelling arguments supportive of this claim. During the past two decades for which Mike has been investigating the financial media, he has risen to become the world leader in exposing the lies, deception and fraud behind the financial media and its so-called "experts." It is difficult to overstate Mike's accomplishments in exposing the tricks used by the financial media to defraud and deceive its audience. When most people think of financial fraud they envision corporate or securities fraud. But the big fraud that remains largely unrecognized comes from within the inner workings of the financial media. This category of fraud represents an enormous segment from within the entire universe of financial fraud. And it poses the biggest threat to Main Street for two primary reasons. First, this fraud remains largely undetected by most investors. Second, the financial media has been able to avoid legal ramifications for carrying out these daily scams. Therefore, you should expect the scams to continue if not increase in prevalence. How have media firms been able to avoid legal ramifications of their fraudulent activities? Answer: The Jewish Buddy System. The same group of criminals who run the media also run Wall Street. They also control the legal system. This group is the Jewish mafia. But that's not the end of the story. They also control all securities regulatory organizations from the SEC and FINRA to the NFA and CFTC. And of course they also control the Department of Justice. The Jewish mafia controls the entire game. AT LEAST 6 of 9 Supreme Court Justices (tenth spot was unfilled at the time this image was created) are Jewish. Remember, Jews comprise only around 2% of the US populaton, making the chances of their more than 65% representation on the Supreme Court an impossibility due to random events. To date, Mike Stathis has exposed just about every financial charlatan who reaches large audiences, from Jim Rickards to Jim Rogers. And just about every single one of the charlatans promoted by the media as an expert is Jewish, including motivational charlatan Tony Robbins, who is now seen giving financial advice throughout the Jewish-run media monopoly. Yet, Mike Stathis cannot so much as get ten seconds of air time for which he would provide invaluable assistance to Main Street. The small number of charlatans afforded with constant media exposure that happen not to be Jewish (excluding the occasional token minority) are either working with/for Jewish individuals/businesses, or they are married to Jews. This is a fact. Mike has noted this trend after many years of careful observation and investigation. For instance, one of the most infamous charlatans, Robert Kiyosaki is not likely Jewish (although we do not know anything about his mother so the possibility remains). But his original business partner for many years was a Jewish female who wrote all of his books (she only broke off the business partnership with him after he allegedly defrauded her, but that's another story). You should also note that for many years Kiyosaki has been a significant business partner with several media firms (i.e. he does business with Jewish-run firms) because he has spent tens of millions of dollars in advertising. This cozy relationship between Kiyosaki and the Jewish media most likely explains why the no on from US media will expose him for the charlatan and reckless financial "guru" that he is. In contrast, the Canadian media exposed him many years ago. Perhaps Kiyosaki should have spent more advertising money in Canada... Mike has also shown how penny stock pump-and-dump schemes work, how to spot them, and he has identified the source of these scams. Mike has also exposed many of the firms and individuals behind the enormous financial copyrighting industry. And he has discussed how many copyrighting firms are involved in penny stock scams. But of course, he has also exposed the various lies and tactics used by the gold pumping con artists. The fact of the matter is that there is no one in the world who has come remotely close to Stathis' work uncovering this huge syndicate of charlatans. And he has dedicated his time and energy towards this pursuit in order to help Main Street. Throughout the period for which Mike Stathis has been documenting who these charlatans are and how they operate, he has constantly stressed that the media is largely responsible for enabling these charlatans for which they claim are "experts." For instance, none of these charlatans would be able to cause Main Street to lose money if they did not receive constant media attention. Remember that the media dictates what messages are delivered. The media determines your perception of reality (if you pay attention to the media). Thus, the media is just as much if not more responsible for causing investors to be littered with the kind of ridiculous nonsense from the likes of broken clock, fear-mongering hucksters like Harry Dent, Jim Rogers and Peter Schiff (all Jewish by the way) as well as the countless perma-bull market stock manipulators like Jim Cramer and his crew of Jewish scum bags who regularly appear on scam networks like CNBC, FOX and Bloomberg. Harry Dent was one of the charlatans that first made Mike's watch list many years ago. Mike recalls first coming across Harry Dent's dogma twenty years ago when he worked as a financial adviser with United Bank of Switzerland. At the time, Dent served as a propaganda whore for mutual fund companies which paid him outrageous speaking fees in exchange for spreading delusions of Dow Jones 20,000 and Nasdaq 20,000 by 2008 to financial advisers. This was not long before the dotcom bubble would burst and 9-11 would send the Dow plunging. Of course, since that time Dent claims to have predicted the financial crisis. Needless to say, Dent absolutely did not predict the financial crisis. Harry Dent has proven over the years to be a shameless liar. Get this. Dent also claims the financial crisis was caused by the baby boomer spending dynamics! This is how he's able to claim that he predicted the financial crisis. If he believes (or pretends to believe) it was caused by something related to baby boomers, then he can tie it into his bogus baby boomer demographics narrative. Too funny! No one has done more to expose the reality behind Harry Dent and his countless shenanigans than Mike Stathis. For instance, while no one else even knew about or remembered Dent's embarassing stent several years ago as a fund manager, Stathis reminded the public of his epic failure. Mutual Fund Disasters: Harry Dent the Fund Manager Stathis also exposed Dent's manipulatory tactics, his flip-flopping and his ridiculous demographics nonsense. He's Back. Harry Dent Making More Ridiculous Predictions A Look at Harry Dent's Track Record Harry Dent. Economist, Futurist and Contrarian Indicator An Important Message from Charlatan Harry Dent Harry Dent, Wall Street Investment Bible and Brazilian Real Estate And who can forget the video Stathis made exposing Dent's ridiculously miserable broken clock track record? Moron of the Month: Harry Dent Here, Mike dissects an email marketing pitch from Dent and his copyrighting monkeys showing you the typical deception and manipulation we've come to expect from Dent and other clowns working for boiler rooms like Agora Financial. EXPOSED: More Doomsday Charlatans (Agora Financial Part 1) Below are images of an email from Harry Dent's copywriting clowns. As you go through the analysis of his pitch, note this is the type of garbage Dent and other copywriters (who claim to be economists and analysts) send out on a daily basis.
Every sentence read (off of a script) by the charlatan in the video below screams "SCAM." And if you failed to immediately recognize this pitch as a scam, you're in deep doo doo because that means you're going to fall for these scams and others in the future. Similar to the typical email marketing video scam, this one was designed to lure naive, lazy and greedy people into their racket. Similar to all of these types of marketing pitches, this one is filled with lies, deception and is complete BULL SHIT. This boiler room pitch is quite typical. Everyday hundreds of these types of videos are released to the world with the hope that you will fall for the BS. This particular video pitch was brought to you by a company owned by Agora Financial, the biggest copywriting boiler room in the US, led by con artist Porter Stansberry.
Opening Statement from the March 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on March 8, 2018 (pre-market release) We previously discussed investor concern over the notion of higher than expected interest rates. This sentiment has been responsible for rising treasury yields and (to some extent) recent market volatility. More recently, market volatility has increased as a result of Trump’s announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum. We stand by our forecast of a 25 basis point hike in short-term interest rates when the Fed meets on March 20-21, moving the rate to an estimated 1.50 to 1.75%. Tariffs On March 1, Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff and 10% tariff on steel and aluminum imports. As you can imagine...
In the near future we will be publishing a more comprehensive piece exposing Eric Sprott's many lies he's told over the years to lure suckers into gold and silver. This more detailed report will also include a recorded conversation with an employee at Sprott Asset Management.

Note: There is an accompanying audio at the end of this article (which is really only an introduction to the audio). Over the past two decades, many individuals have apparently come to accept the so-called "alternative" media as a legitimate and trusted source of news and information. There are a variety of reasons for the recent growth of the "alternative" media. Namely, public trust in the so-called "mainstream" media and establishment has faded over this period due to many lies that have been exposed. However, I want to be very clear. The so-called "alternative" media is much worse than the so-called "mainstream" media. I refer to these two segments of the media as "so-called" because they are really one in the same since they are both controlled by the Jewish mafia. The fact is that all "alternative" media is fake news. By now you should understand that most "alternative" media is designed with the intent of generating advertisement revenues as a result of fear-mongering. The general theme used by most "alternative" media is to label the establishment and everything connected to it as the "bad guy" while claiming to be the "good guy." So if you distrust the establishment and everything connected to it, you'll be seeking out alternatives. And if you trust the "alternative" media, you'll also trust the "solutions" it has for you, which are always offered during advertisements. So how does the "alternative" media operate? It's quite simple actually. The typical operations model of alternative media firms is as follows. 1. Make up wild claims based on the premise that the establishment threatens the life, liberty, freedom, health and financial stability of the public. 2. Next, recruit clowns who will tow the fear-mongering line to come onto your show and claim they are experts. In return for spewing your shows' fear-mongering narrative, you promote the books of these "experts" and anything else they pitch. It's an implicit tit for tat arrangement that doesn't even need to be discussed. These "experts" almost always have virtually no credibility whatsoever. 3. Once this disinformation has been sold to the sheep (your audience) you provide these suckers with "solutions" to the threats you claim they are subject to. Of course these "solutions" come from your sponsors, who agree to pay a high price for the opportunity to advertise their "solutions" on your show. In the vast majority of cases, these "solutions" are little more than snake oil. Consequently, the same individuals who claim to have been "woken up" by claims made by the "alternative" media have fallen for various anti-establishment movements. Much in the same manner as the so-called "alternative" media, all anti-establishment movements have been created in order to operate businesses specifically designed to exploit the misfortune and/or fear of many individuals, or else to serve as controlled opposition. There are so many of these movements that it would be a difficult task to list each one here. However, so-called anti-Wall Street, anti-Federal Reserve, anti-income tax, anti-war groups as well as so-called "libertarians" make up a good portion of these anti-establishment movements. Let me be clear. All anti-establishment movements are scam organizations/movements that seek to exploit naive and/or emotionally disturbed individuals. Remember to always follow the money trail. Anyone who has exposure has been bought off. Finally, if you want to have full control over your life, avoid all media. Avoid all ad-based content.

Although I've added a few images of these scum bags here, you can find a larger number of annotated images of these and many other charlatans in the image library. Make sure to check the image library for a huge stock pile of annotated images. You can locate specific individuals and topics using the advanced search feature. As some of you might recall, I began exposing Chris Martenson several years ago. You might want to have a look at some of the previous material on Chris Martenson here, here, here, here and here. It became apparent to me that Chris Martenson had joined the fear-mongering broken clock profiteering circuit. And he was determined to form a cult to exploit naive individuals who had been infested with all kinds of ridiculous propaganda from a variety of conspiracy con artists. After a while Martenson even began to claim he predicted the financial crisis. This was another bold-faced lie. Although I recognized early on that Martenson was a charlatan seeking to assemble a cult of naive do-gooders; liberal types who wanted to save the world and stop "climate change," I never would have guessed he'd stoop so low as to partner up with Agora Financial, the sleaziest copywriting boiler room in North America, but he did. Once Martenson showed his true colors there was no longer any doubt in my mind that he was a pure shark. From then on, I knew...

How is it possible for a guy who's part of the Jewish tribe and thus has benefited from the favortism afforded to Jews by businesses run by Jews, a man who has received a good deal of media promotion for decades from his Jewish media buddies as a so-called "expert," a man who has been able to sell a load of (useless) books as a result of the promotion provided to him by his Jewish media tribesmen...how does such a man fail to land a sufficient number of subscibers to his stock market newsletter service such that he has to shut it down? It seems impossible. After all, it seems impossible to fail in anything related to the financial, legal, publishing or media industries if you're Jewish due to the favorable treatment Jews receive while working in these Jewish-dominated industries. Most people would call this discrimination. I call it the "Jewish advantage." Apparently, Jewish odd-ball James Altucher has defied the odds. Despite being Jewish and having received decades of promotion by the media, his stock newsletter business turned out to be a big fail. Why else would a man who previously claimed cryptocurrencies were a huge scam be pitching his own cryptocurrency newsletter service in a cheesy BS infomercial? By now you're probably familiar with these video pitches. They're dead giveaways pointing to scams. Before I continue, let me give you a little background on Altucher. He's one of these guys who likes to tell you how important he is and how successful he's been (a typical tactic used by con artists in order to get you to think they're credible). But the reality paints a different picture. Fresh out of college in the 80s, Altucher landed a job in the media. Despite being a particularly unattractive if not weird and perhaps creepy looking individual, Altucher was given the host spot of a show on HBO...most likely because he was Jewish. Why else would this weird looking guy who had no prior Hollywood experience or skills be given his own TV show? While working on this show for several years, Altucher (apparently) started a company that he would later sell. Although the most important details about this company are not known (such as where the money came from and other important information) Altucher sold it for $6 million during the height of the Internet bubble. Thus, there's a good chance the company was essentially worthless. Within a couple of years after selling his company Altucher admitted that he lost everything from several failed business ventures. That's when he apparently realized where the no-risk, easy money game was, so he headed back to the media to work for Jim Cramer's boiler room publication, The Street. There he pumped out the kind of bull shit Cramer's shady firm became known for. Although he had almost no real experience and certainly no professional experience in the stock market, Altucher was able to leverage his Jewish connections and media exposure to attract outside investment capital to run a fund of hedge funds. In case you don't know, fund of hedge funds are costly investment vehicles typically run by individuals who have connections with pension fund managers and other investment professionals who invest OPM (other people's money). In other words, these types of funds are run by guys who have much greater connections to OPM than investment management skills of their own. Once you realize that virtually all pension funds are run by Jewish individuals, you can imagine which fund managers are in the driver's seat to land pension investments. It's the Jewish buddy system at work. Here's basically how a fund of hedge funds operates. As the fund of hedge fund manager your job is to select a few hedge funds from a large pool of candidates based on specific criteria. Investors in your fund of hedge funds receive the cumulative returns these funds generate according to the allocation of each fund within the fund of hedge fund portfolio. The net returns are determined once all fees have been subtracted. The fund of hedge fund manager charges a fee for performing this service (selecting the funds and determining the allocation of each fund). In addition, each fund within the fund of hedge fund portfolio charges a fee as well, so we are taking about a fee upon a fee. That's doesn't sound too good does it? The marketing pitch is where the magic comes into play. The manager of the fund of funds spins things to make it sound like his approach represents a wonderful and low-risk way to gain exposure into otherwise risky investments. These fund managers often claim they're able to get fees from certain funds reduced and many other incentives so as to create the perception of value. Incidentally, the marketing pitch typically used by fund of hedge funds resembles that which was used to attract investors into Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. If the hedge funds you select to include into your fund of hedge funds portfolio perform well, as the manager of the fund of hedge fund portfolio you'll be viewed as a "brilliant" by your investors. But if the funds you've selected don't perform well, you can always blame the individual fund managers and promise better returns in the future once you select replacements for the underperforming funds. The reality is that fund of hedge fund managers are essentially useless parasites who lack the ability to manage a fund on their own so they collect fees on capital they've raised while on selling investors the premise that a fund of hedge fund strategy is a great way to invest. Hence, running a fund of hedge funds is a wonderful way to earn management fees in exchange for doing very little other than sales and marketing. Needless to say, most fund of funds are a huge rip off due to the fees alone. If you plan to invest in a fund of hedge funds you may as well invest in managed futures while you're at it. If you fail to understand the meaning of that sarcasm, you should look into managed futures. I've previously exposed managed futures as a scam. Altucher's fund didn't last long and was closed after only a couple of years probably due to poor performance. Evidently, as a failed fund manager Altucher did not have many options remaining so he (reportedly) started working on a financial website. By 2007, one year after he started the site, he was able to sell this website to Cramer's The Street for $10 million. That sounds pretty damn fishy to me. I remember thinking to myself at the time that this was more than mysterious because the website called StockPickr was fairly useless. You see, I was keeping my eye on Altucher somewhat even back then because even fifteen years ago he displayed some very obvious chartacteristics of charlatans. Since that time Altucher has been selling stupid books while trying to run an investment newsletter service. Given that he's received a good deal of media exposure for nearly two decades, it's difficult to understand how he hasn't been able to grow his business into a huge venture. The last time I ran across Altucher he was pitching his latest newsletter service. This is the basic pitch he used. Because he had been a hedge fund manager, he knew several other fund managers. He claimed his hedge fund buddies were willing to let him in on their "best" investment ideas. So as a subscriber to Altucher's newsletter you would be able to piggy back off of stock picks that his hedge fund manager buddies were buying. That sounds like a great and easy way to make money, right? Only if you're naive and clueless about how the stock market works! Always remember that anyone who markets an investment service or publication as a slam dunk way to make huge gains and/or an easy way to make money is a scam artist. These guys are constantly sending out daily emails with similar scams. You probably know who many of them are. At this point it should come as no surprise to you that Altucher teamed up with Casey Research and Agora Financial to promote his newsletters. That fact alone points to the verdict. Despite having access to his hedge fund buddies' "best stock picks" Altucher's newsletter service didn't cut the mustard. What few people realize is that real hedge fund managers (that is fund managers who are actually managing funds instead of trying to pump their trades to the sheep via the media) do not want to disclose their investments to the public. Hence, I have to imagine that the stock picks Altucher received weren't the best ideas his buddies had. But even if they were the best picks from his buddies, the information is public so it won't help retail investors. The entire pitch used by Altucher to market his investment newsletter was flawed and deceptive on so many levels that I consider it a marketing scam. Regardless of the reason why Altucher is no longer pitching his stock newsletter, the important thing to focus on is that he's now promoting cryptocurrency newsletters. As a part of his marketing pitch, he claims to provide subscribers with all kinds of "secrets." Whenever you hear of someone marketing "secrets" you should run for the hills because it's always a scam. Keep in mind that Altucher previously called cryptocurrencies a scam and Ponzi scheme. It looks like Altucher doesn't mind getting into scams so long as there's money to be made selling digital "picks and shovels" to suckers who are betting it all on the cryptocurrency "gold rush."

Today's con man serves to remind us how these guys end up doing what they do.
Okay so let me get this straight. You have a man who served as an official under the Reagan administration, so he was partly responsible for NAFTA. This same man later worked for the Wall Street Journal (and we all know the financial media has an especially high affinity for liars and con artists). Hence, this man has been responsible for destroying the middle class in the USA, as well as having been part of the financial disinformation network that's designed to cause Main Street to lose money. He is the enemy of the American people. Yet, he begs for their money so he can "pay the expenses" for his blog.
Opening Statement from the February 2018 Dividend Gems Originally published on February 19, 2018 Overview Investors continue to anticipate rising interest rates. This sentiment has led to further weakness in interest-rate sensitive securities such as Utilities (primarily) Real Estate (somewhat) and Telecoms (to a variable degree). Of course the broad variety of fixed income investments (bonds and bond funds, preferred stock and private equity) has also been adversely impacted. For several months we have been highlighting the bull trend in oil pricing. The recent collapse in oil pricing occurred as an impulse reaction to the unforeseen selloff in global stock markets. Notably, the collapse in oil pricing was also heightened by the earnings miss from XOM and the huge miss by CVX on February 2. We previously issued cautionary statements regarding these and other major E&P firms financing a good part of their cash dividends with debt (TOT being the lone exception from our list of recommended securities). Despite having faced a severe and unexpected stock market correction, consumer sentiment remains quite strong, as do trends in consumer spending. This has helped boost Consumer Discretionary stocks. In contrast, Consumer Staples have remained quite weak as of late most likely due to...

Opening Statement from the February 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on February 8, 2018 (pre-market release) Preliminary Analysis of the Recent Market Correction The recent stock market selloff began on Friday, February 2 with the Dow closing down by 650 points. This correction was not at all surprising and was certainly needed as discussed in previous forecasts. The selloff appears to have been influenced by the increased speculation that a more rapid pace of rate hikes is now more likely versus previous expectations as a result of the BLS Employment Situation data released on Friday, February 2. Combined with the upward move in government bond yields, investors apparently saw this as a good opportunity to take some money off the table. In recent forecasting presentations we emphasized that because we believed...

Folks, I could exhaust literally all of my time merely introducing you to all of the idiots on You Tube who think they are in some way qualified to discuss economics, investments and the capital markets. As I have previously discuses, social media has caused people to think they are qualified to express their views even when they are clueless as opposed to the good old days when people kept their mouths shut and focused more on learning rather than pretending to be experts. A brief look at this clown gives you an idea just how stupid and delusional the masses have become. Enjoy the following video. And remember that there are tens of thousands of clowns like this guy on You Tube making videos about economics and other topics for which they are not qualified.
Opening Statement from the January 2018 Dividend Gems Originally published on January 21, 2018 Important Notes In the December 2017 issue of the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster we discussed that the yield on the US Treasury Note needed to rise significantly over the next year in order to avoid an inverted yield curve. Within a few weeks, yields did in fact begin to rise a great deal. The sudden rise in yields prompted a window of opportunity for various disinformation con artists from within the media to spread inaccurate fear-mongering claims that bonds were collapsing. As you can imagine, there are many ramifications related to a trend of rising short-term interest rates and treasury yields. Namely...
Opening Statement from the January 2018 Intelligent Investor Originally published on January 11, 2018 Global Economic Overview For the first time in the post-crisis period we are seeing economic growth concurrently in the US, UK, Japan, European Union and emerging markets.

Although current global growth is unimpressive by historical measures, economic and business momentum is trending up. This bodes well for a continuation of double-digit earnings growth for the US stock market.
Opening Statement from the January 2018 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on January 7, 2018 The recent weakness in gold and silver pricing continued through the first several days of December, but stopped short of what has been the bottom longer-term trading range after reacting to several catalysts. Thus, our previous guidance to use caution when shorting gold and silver was the correct recommendation. Once gold and silver rallied, traders should have jumped aboard the bullish momentum just as we advised. Moving forward we believe additional upside to gold and silver will be limited in absence of additional catalysts. Thus, traders should...

Opening Statement from the December 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on December 3, 2017 Global Economic Overview The somewhat positive global growth story continues to fuel the capital markets. Despite consistent improvements in China’s economic growth, the nation faces significant long-term risks the government continues to take measures to curb issuance of bad loans and other reforms intended to reduce risk. Furthermore, we believe the Chinese economy does not have much more room for improvement. Although we continue to believe the U.S. economy is strong enough to avoid a recession in 2018, the risks have increased due to geopolitical variables and domestic issues pertaining to what we believe to be a crisis in the White House,
Why doesn't the media simply provide valuable insight? Wouldn't that be a more effective and more profiable way to boost viewership and thus ad revenues? Have you ever wondered why, after years of being wrong on just about everything, some people still think clowns like Peter Schiff, Harry Dent, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Jim Rickards and the rest of the broken clock doomsday clan positioned by the media as legitimate sources of economic and investment insight? Over the years I have sought to document the horrendous track records of the most commonly promoted clowns in the financial media in order to warn investors that the financial media cannot be trusted and has been specifically designed to mislead its audience. I have dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort exposing this media scam in order to help investors understand how they are being misled, lied to and ripped off. As a matter of fact, I have no doubt that I am the world's leading expert exposing these financial charlatans and the financial media scam.

Opening Statement from the November 2017 Intelligent Investor (Part 1) Originally published on November 9, 2017 (Pre-market Release) Interest Rates We continue to believe the Federal Reserve Board’s December meeting will result in the third rate hike of 25 basis points for 2017, pushing short term rates to the 1.40 to 1.50% range. In June we raised our longer-term interest rate forecast by 50 basis points to 2.00% by the end of 2018, and 2.50% moving into 2020. With the expected replacement of Janet Yellen by Jerome Powell, we cannot know with a high degree of confidence what pace interest rates will be raised. As you will recall, our longer-term interest rate forecast implied two rate hikes of 25 basis points each in 2018. But we also added that depending on a variety of macroeconomic variables as well as the possible replacement of Yellen, there was a possibility of up to four rate hikes in 2018. As a current Federal Reserve board member Powell has a voting record that has been supportive of Yellen’s interest rate decisions. Because Powell does not have a particularly impressive economics pedigree he may not possess the depth of understanding required during this unprecedented period to set interest policy in the most prudent manner. What we do know is that given his previous experience in private equity, Powell is likely to be good for the financial industry by aiding in the repeal key portions of Dodd-Frank. Based on our initial assessment, we believe Powell is likely to raise interest rates...
Opening Statement from the November 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on November 5, 2017 Global growth continues to make gradual although mild progress, with upbeat momentum most notably in the EU and Japan. China also continues to show some improvements relative to the previous year, with an especially upbeat pickup in domestic consumption. Although China’s massive financial system still faces significant long-term risks the government continues to take measures to curb issuance of bad loans and other reforms intended to reduce risk. The U.S. economy remains solid, although unimpressive in many respects. The unemployment rate reached yet a new low (4.1%), but we do not see anywhere near the kind of strength in the economy one would expect for such a low unemployment rate. Another indicator of the slack economic environment in the US is the persistently low inflation rate and low capacity utilization. Global Risks Are Rising It’s important to note that...
In this audio, Mike provides a nice overview of the cryptocurrency scam, pointing to the involvement of the Jewish-run media ever since the takeover of the cryptocurrency industry by the Jewish mafia. In this 30 minute unscripted, unrehearsed and unedited audio, Mike reveals many things about cryptocurrencies you won't hear anywhere else such as the real reason why some gold dealers like Peter Schiff trash cryptocurrencies, why other gold dealers are siding with them, how cryptocurrencies were transformed into a casino from their original purpose and why this dramatic transformation has come without scrutiny.

As we have discussed in he past, Robert Prechter is one of the doomsday clowns positioned by his Jewish buddies in the media as an "expert" despite being wrong time and time again. How can a man keep predicting a market collapse year after year when everything points to the contrary? One thing I'm confident of. If you listen to Prechter you're probably going to lose your ass because he's a broken clock. People need to learn to distinguish between broken clock sales men who always pitch the same narrative versus real research analysts who know when to switch gears. Most people do not understand this distinction so they have no idea what a real research analyst is because every single person constantly promoted by the media as an "expert" is a snake oil sales man. Don't believe me? You haven't checked their track records. I have. MarketWatch Jewish Crooks Promote Jewish Robert Prechter as an Expert AGAIN! Robert Prechter Sends a Stooge to Fill in for Him as He Stays in Hiding The Embarrassing Track Record of Robert Prechter (Part 1) What few people realize is that these doomsday clowns pitch the same story line in order to create a cult by appealing to individuals who have emotional and/or mental issues. This explains why the sheep who get hooked into the cult are so clueless and fail to acknowledge the reality when confronted with facts. Once again, this really isn't about how miserable Prechter's forecasts have been. The real point of the video below is to emphasize the fact that the Jewish-run media engages in blatant fraud by promoting broken clock idiots and con artists. The main objective of this scam is to boost advertising revenues because this is the primary source of income for media firms. The media doesn't give a rat's ass about the audience. The media wants to make as much money as possible and it does this at the expense of airing quality. This is consistent with the theme I have been preaching for years; all ad-based content is worthless and most ad-based content is a scam. Free vs. Ad-Based Content For instance, the panic, fear and greed promoted by the endless cast of idiots and con artists in the financial media causes many sheep to trade more frequently. This clearly benefits online brokerage firms. You can appreciate how much more money online brokerage firms will be willing to pay for ad space if the programming content leads to more trading activity. As well, full service brokerage firms such as JP Morgan and Merrill Lynch, insurance firms and mutual fund companies also benefit when the sheep lose huge amounts of money after having listened to these charlatans. You can appreciate how much more money full service brokerage and other financial services firms will be willing to pay for ad space if the programming content results in the sheep losing large sums of money. Eventually these unfortunate sheep will contact financial services firms in desperation, anxious for asssistance. Finally, the Jewish-run media specifically selects Jews to fill the roles of broken clock idiots and con artists in order to help them cash in on the scam. From the constant and free promotion received by the media, these broken clock con artists and idiots are able to promote their books, newsletters, financial services, all of which are useless and are likely to cause the sheep who buy into their BS to lose their ass big time. How do you think Peter Schiff made most of his money? BOOK SALES. Yet, his books have been complete shit with regards to their predictive power and helping investors make money. If you don't believe me, why not forward this to Schiff himself and wait for his response. The same can be said about the other media charlatans promoted as "experts" despite having abysmal track records (Marc Faber/newsletters, speaking fees & board appointments; Jim Rickards/books, newsletters & speaking fees; Ron Paul/newsletters, paid internet radio show for his cult members, books & speaking fees; David Stockman/newsletters, books & speaking fees; Harry Dent/books & newsletters; Jim Rogers/books, speaking fees & board appointments; Doug Kass/newsletters & speaking fees; Jeremy Siegel/newsletters & speaking fees; Jim Cramer/newsletters, books, speaking fees; Gerald Celente/newsletters & speaking fees, etc.). Think about it. Who runs the media? Who runs the financial industry? Who are all of the so-called experts constantly being promoted by the media? Answer: JEWS Promotion equals sales and that's the way the game works, because most people are quite stupid. That's why the saying "there's no such thing as bad publicity" is so true. So-called "Octomom" (who is Jewish, by the way) proved that even before Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian entered the scene. In closing, I want you to contact the media. Contact every reporter, editor, and producer you can and ask them why they continue to air these broken clock idiots and con artists despite their miserable track records. Ask them why they are scamming their audience by pretending these con artists are legit. Ask them why virtually every single one of its so-called experts happens to be Jewish. By now you probably already know the response you will get. Either they won't respond or else they will claim you are a "biggot" or anti-Semitic.

Mike shows you how the media lies about the clowns it promotes as "experts" in order to get the audience to listen to these clowns. Hence, the media engages in daily fraud. You should be asking the following questions: Why does the media continue to air broken clock clowns and con artists who are constantly wrong? Answer: This is the objective of the media because it brings in more ad dollars all while helping its tribesmen hoodwink the sheep. Because the media receives ad revenues from fake content (i.e. when it promotes con artists whom they misrepresent as "experts") this constitutes fraud. Why is the media permitted to get away with this criminal activity on a daily basis? Answer: Because the same parasites who run the media, the banks and Wall Street also run the legal system (including Supreme Court).* The following raw video was originally broadcast in April 2011, while the commentary was originally recorded on July 23, 2013.

Opening Statement from the September 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on September 3, 2017 Global Economic Overview Global growth continues to make gradual although mild progress, with upbeat momentum most notably in the EU and Japan. China also continues to perform well relative to the previous year, although the nation still faces significant long-term risks. In contrast, while the US economy remains on solid footing, consensus growth estimates continue to be revised downward. But this is in accord with our previous forecasts.
A discussion pertaining to the so-called "white nationalist movement" could easily command its own category on this website. Perhaps I will revisit this topic again in the future. Here, I wanted to provide a follow up to some of the MP3 audios I published last year (check the audios section for these MP3s). So let's begin by asking the following question... What do David Duke and Don Black have in common besides their previous leadership roles in the Klu Klux Klan? Please select what you believe to be the best answer from the choices provided below. A. They are both liars. B. They are both controlled by Jewish handlers. C. They are both former Grand Wizards of the Knights of the Klu Klux Klan. D. All of the above. E. None of the above. ... By now, after having established myself as a leading research analyst, economic and investment forecaster and educator; after all of the shills and con artists I have exposed (and this list is extensive) I argue that my claims should be accepted as fact until proven otherwise because I have established a proven track record of accuracy ad credibility that is without question. Without bias, I believe I have earned this benefit of the doubt based on my previous work. Hopefully my research subscribers realize this and completely agree with my position. For naysayers who are unfamiliar with my background as a financial professional and my track record (here, here, here, here, here, here and here) I suggest you examine these things in order to assess my credibility. You should also understand a bit about my educational background and experience on Wall Street. You can learn about that here. In reality, very few if any individuals who read this who are not already familiar with my comprehensive track record will not bother to devote the time, effort and intellect required to analyze it. I know this to be a fact because this reckless behavior in part it accounts for one reason why so many people are so easily fooled today. The fact is that the vast majority of individuals rarely examine an issue or claim sufficiently or with clear logic. Instead, they are driven by quick news bits which are often reinforced by the media's flooding effect. This mentally destructive and potentially dangerous behavior has been the result of the Internet and has been compounded by social media. If you are not familiar with the details of my track record it is because you have either allowed your mind to be infested with con artists and shills from the media (mainstream and alternative) and/or you are too lazy to spend the time required to diligently investigate my track record. Sadly, many individuals lack even the most basic critical thinking skills required for this examination, which is why they have most likely fallen for the various con artists promoted by the media as experts. Quite simply, the vast majority of individuals today lack the ability to formulate a logical analysis of even the most basic arguments. A discussion of the cause and impact of this sad reality will be held back for another day. Normally, I do not mention anything about my accomplishments unless it is for a very good reason because I do not like to boast about myself as a way to gain attention, unlike so many others. Rather, I prefer to show results because that's all that matters. But skeptics and those who have an axe to grind are always looking for anything they can use to counter an argument even if what they come up with has very little to do with the premise of the argument or the underlying substance of the conclusions. In contrast, con artists usually try to create a cult following by constantly preaching economic dogmas (usually pertaining to the government being bad and pretending to advocate individual freedom) and linking that to their delusional broken clock investment ideas. By now hopefully you know who these guys are. They have been pushing the "freedom, liberty, libertairian" scam for years. And they keep telling you to buy gold because they claim all currencies are worthless and the stock market is going to crash. Before I continue where I left off with my discussion about Mr. Duke, I'm going to provide a brief look at my track record. Remember, this is just a small summary. You can find more details about my track record by checking here, here, here, here, here, here and here. NOTE: if you would like to contest my claim that I hold the leading track record in the world since 2006, you should enter my $1 million challenge. Put your money where you mouth is like I have. Otherwise, kindly SHUT THE F*CK UP. 1) I hold the world's best investment forecasting track record since 2006. Furthermore, to my knowledge, I am the only financial professional in world history to back their claim of holding the best track record in the world with a monetary reward. I have backed this claim by a $100,000 guarantee which was publicly offered on the home page of our website for 6 years. We did not receive a single submission. In January 2016, I increased this amount to a $1 million with some different stipulations in order to only receive serious entries. To this day we received not one single submission. 2) I am the only financial professional in the world to have a written record of having been extremely bearish regarding the US economy and stock market prior to the financial crisis (as detailed in my 2006 book America's Financial Apocalypse), who also turned bullish at the bottom and has remained bullish since then. I also pointed to a collapse in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to 6500 in this 2006 book. No one else in the world made such an accurate prediction. 3) I am the only financial professional in the world to have written a book (Cashing in on the Real Estate Bubble, early 2007) that advised investors to short the sub-prime mortgage stocks, banks and homebuilders. I even provided a mini-shorting tutorial as well as guidance on when to enter these short positions. 4) I am the only financial professional in the world to have written a book that advised investors to short the prime mortgage stocks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Cashing in on the Real Estate Bubble, early 2007). I am also the only person in the world to have accurate predicted in advance that these mortgage giants would require a bailout from the U.S. government (America's Financial Apocalypse, late 2006 and Cashing in on the Real Estate Bubble, early 2007). 5) The media (both mainstream and alternative) banned me beginning with attempts to get America's Financial Apocalypse: How to Profit from the Next Great Depression published. First let me address a common criticism I've run across regarding having been banned. So how do I know I've been banned? Maybe the media just doesn't know who I am. Maybe I lack the credentials to be cited as a reputable source. Here I will briefly address each of these possibilities (I don't want to derail the main topic of this article so it will be brief). I know I have been banned because myself and others spent large sums of money and effort contacting hundreds of media firms including every major and several minor radio stations, all major TV and newspaper firms and so on between 2006 and 2010. I know for a fact that many TV producers know me by name because I have been told this by some who work in the industry. I also have many of the emails that were sent out (some as follow-ups to calls, others as the only point of contact). My credentials far exceed the typical requirements of the media. You can judge for yourself. Despite having worked at two of the leading Wall Street investment firms, despite having an educational and research pedigree far exceeding that held by the vast majority of authors in who wrote investment books during that period and since, all publishers opted to not even entertain publishing the book upon review of the proposal. They even gave me ridiculous excuses such as "there are already too many books published in this genre." Oh really?? The fact is there has never been a book published like America's Financial Apocalypse. Their claims were clearly bogus. Prior to AFA, there had only been a handful of books published discussing a bear case for the US economy. Furthermore, take a look at the vast number of books that were published on the top since then. You should note that every single one of these books (in my opinion) is fluff, nonsense and/or baseless fear-mongering designed to pump gold or market the author's investment firm or "newsletter." Needless to say, these books did not expose the reality as I did in AFA. You should also note that the vast majority of the authors are Jewish. Being Jewish and writing about fluff, pumping gold, and/or fear-mongering while failing to expose the truth points to why these books were published while my own weren't (I published several other books after AFA once I formed my own publishing firm). [Even though I formed a real publishing company (I did NOT self-publish) the printing company that controls the production, distribution and administrative activities of my books terminated my account for no apparent reason. The person who terminated the account was a complete prick. And I find the fact that he is Jewish to be relevant.] 6) After having been banned by publishers, I experienced the same treatment by the broadcast media, and then by the Internet media. I then realized how the game is played. If you are credible, speak the truth, expose criminality of the Jewish Mafia and cannot be bought off, you will be banned by all media, including the publishing industry. So much for America's freedom of speech myth. The remarkable thing is that when I wrote America's Financial Apocalypse I was not even aware of the Jewish Mafia, so there was obviously no mention of it. I didn't even mention the word "Jew" once. But that didn't matter because in this book I exposed the fraud perpetrated by Wall Street. I exposed the deception and lies by the US government, I exposed the trade disaster, America's healthcare crisis, the poison of political correctness, damaging impact of illegal aliens, and many other things run by the Jewish Mafia. This is why I was banned. If the American people truly understood the realities they would revolt. I stood positioned as arguably the best positioned individual to expose the full truth and nothing but the full truth. And I did not care one bit about turning my mission into a profit center. This is why I was banned. 7) Instead of airing qualified, unbiased and credible experts, the Jewish mafia promoted shills, gatekeepers, con artists, broken clocks, frauds and idiots; guys like Glenn Beck, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Joe the plumber, Donald Trump and countless others. The media also promoted complete clowns and fear-mongering broken clock tools as experts; guys like Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, Jim Rickards, Harry Dent, and even scum bags from boiler room copywriting shops like Agora Financial...all as experts. Combined with their talking head pundit counterparts, these clowns have completely brainwashed the masses. The funny thing is that supporters of these clowns still claim that the media was against them or censored them. Such a claim only proves just how stupid these people really are. It is for this reason that so many Americans remain clueless . The media is now positioning Alex Jones into the mainstream scene. This would not be possible a few decades ago. But today, Americans have become so stupid and so brainwashed that it's easy for the Jewish Mafia is exert complete control over their minds using frauds like Alex Jones. The bottom line is that it is up to each individual who would consider doubting anything I have to say to prove that I am wrong because my track record speaks for itself.

Opening Statement from the August 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on August 6, 2017 With no surprise the weakness in the US dollar continues. Although we believe the US dollar index will break down below the 92 bullish support increasing the chances of a reverse in the longer-term bullish trend, we believe this break down is not likely to occur during this trading cycle. Along with better than expected economic strength in China and Japan, the somewhat mild but steady improvements seen throughout much of the European Union have helped put a floor in commodities pricing. But the oil pricing saga is likely far from over. Interest Rates Based on our analysis of current economic data we believe the Fed will pass on a rate hike during its September meeting. We believe...

Opening Statement from the July 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on July 2, 2017 US Dollar The relative strength of the US dollar is important for many obvious reasons. Because the US is home to the world’s most dominant economy, the relative strength or weakness of the US dollar can cause major shifts in global trade and capital market fund flows. US dollar strength also impacts multinational corporations based in the US with significant business overseas. Additionally, commodities (including oil and precious metals) are priced largely in US dollars. Finally, we cannot forget that most nations peg their currencies in opposition to the US dollar such that a rising dollar tends to create downward forces on other currencies. Currencies rise and fall based on an interplay of a huge list of variables such as...
Is there no end to the extent by which Peter Schiff continues to get everything wrong? But hey, remember, the Jewish media keeps telling you that Schiff is an "expert" because he predicted the financial crisis, right? Never mind that Schiff's tribemen in the media NEVER mention that FACT that Schiff was accused of FRAUD by securities regulators, which basically put an end to his career with legit Wall Street firms back when he was a rookie. Never mind that the media fails to point out that Schiff is a broken clock who serves as a pitch man for his delusional investment recommendations and ridiculous economic ideas. Nevermind the fact that media never mentions how wrong Schiff has been. After all, the media is run by a Jewish cabal. As I have demonstrated countless times, Peter Schiff did NOT predict the financial crisis. None of his useless books show evidence of this. Furthermore, his customers (at least the vast majority) certainly did not benefit from the financial crisis, so how is it that he predicted it? When you are a broken clock, fear-mongering motor mouth who has been preaching doom for decades, eventually something will materialize that will make you look as if you nailed it; but only if those who think you "nailed it" fail to realize they are dealing with a broken clock.

Despite having exposed countless ways the financial system scams the public, and despite having accurately predicted the details of the financial crisis two years before it struck, Mike Stathis is certainly aware of the pernicious nature of the Jewish-run financial system. However, for many years Stathis has gone on record stating that the Jewish-run media poses an even greater threat to humanity than even the financial system. This premise is confirmed by the following speech given by the late William Pierce.

Opening Statement from the June 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on June 4, 2017 Revisiting US Dollar Weakness We have been forecasting weakness in the US dollar since early 2017. Thus far this forecast has been spot on. We believe the latest issues surrounding Donald Trump and certain members of his administration have added additional downward pressure to the dollar. For now, many commodities, currencies and even gold and silver pricing are trading largely as the result of the recent weakness in the US dollar. Although the dollar’s weakness has certainly led to short-term price volatility in many assets, a much more serious issue to consider is that due to the cumulative impact of mounting problems from within the Trump administration, as viewed by investors. Needless to say none of the detrimental information that has surfaced regarding Trump, his policy failures or his dealings with the Russians has surprised us in the least. As the record shows, we fully expected America’s first professional con man president to be a complete disaster. Unfortunately, we believe the worst is yet to come. While we have been bearish on the USD index, we have previously emphasized that...

This is another video showing that the media banned Mike Stathis, the expert who most accurately predicted the financial crisis as well as it's aftermath. To this day, Mike Stathis has never even been mentioned by the media, and not even by any of the clowns in the alternative media regarding his world-class investment track record. You need to ask why. Instead of, the Jewish-run media cares only to promote Jewish clowns who were nowhere to be seen or heard of prior to the financial crisis, but are now profiting from it by making late and obvious calls, as well as releasing Monday morning quarterback books which are promoted by the Jewish media.
Mike Stathis reveals the realities behind the federal income tax and how wealthy individuals have duped the masses to dig their own grave while helping the wealthy keep more of their money.
As the US stock market continues to soar to new all-time highs, consistent with our research publications, the fear-mongering syndicate continues the con game that has decimated so many. Incidentally, we believe many of the individuals comprising this syndicate are engaging in practices that could be subject to a variety of legal actions. But so long as their cult members fail to recognize the criminality waged by their cult members, the scam will persist. Sadly, we believe that many of these cult members suffer from some form of mental illness, while others are simply stupid. After all, by now it's logical to conclude that one would have to either be mentally ill and/or quite stupid to fall for the fear-mongering scam year after year. Meanwhile, with the best investment forecasting track record in the world, Mike Stathis continues to arm his clients with cutting-edge research (as opposed to the sales and marketing, broken clock horse crap spewed out by the copywriting industry) in addition to one-of-a-kind investment education. Regardless whether you decide to access the research insights of one of the brightest minds in the financial industry or else attempt to navigate the capital markets on your own, we want to encourage you to avoid all media, including the so-called alternative media...unless you want to suffer huge losses, while never advancing your investment skills and insight.

Membership Resources ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is an introduction to this 90-page ebook exposing the Zero Hedge liars and scam artists. If for some reason you become bored and have nothing better to do and you want to laugh your ass off, you might consider visiting one or more of the virtually endless websites that preach borderline insane claims about how everything is fake, controlled, doomed, etc. Don't laugh because this type of mental illness is growing by the day. And we shouldn't laugh at those afflicted with mental illness. Fortunately for those interested in seeing how these deranged, low-IQ, conspiracy cult members interact, there are several options aside from visiting Alex Jones' Infowars or Prison Planet websites which provide an equally hilarious rendition of reality (see here, here, here and here). For instance, simply spend some time on the BLOG (emphasis on "blog") Zero Hedge and you'll see exactly what I mean; that is, unless you're one of the delusional lunatics who spends much of their day patrolling though hundreds of gold pumping, conspiracy, end of the world websites which (in part) comprise the gold-pumping doomsday crime syndicate. Indeed, if you'd like to compile a list of doomsday con artists and broken clock losers, Zero Hedge is a good place to start. Simply check the contributor list. You should also take note which delusional fear-mongering broken clock Jews the blog promotes each day. They all have incredibly terrible track records because they are broken clock salesmen pretending to be investment analysts. In the past I have discussed the fact that Zero Hedge is a gold-pumping blog that publishes complete nonsense, baseless conspiracies and delusional conclusions (see here and here). The apparent intent of the blog is to profit (in the form or advertising revenues) from their misinformed and largely mentally ill audience that spends most of their time reading about conspiracies on infowars.com and other scam websites. What's more alarming is that the kosher media (i.e. both mainstream and alternative) cites this trash even though the authors remain anonymous. Furthermore, they have no track record, no credibility, and constantly create conspiracies all while predicting recessions and stock market collapses that never materialize. Ask yourself why the media would cite anonymous sources that publish baseless conspiracies when at least one of the contributors has been alleged to have been barred from Wall Street for securities fraud (which could explain why he remains anonymous) the blog has been caught engaging in plagiarism, and not a single contributor to the blog has an ounce of credibility. In fact, the blog publishes and promotes fake news in the spirit of Alex Jones and other con artists who make a living feeding the insatiable appetites of mentally deranged conspiracy fanatics. Allow me to answer for you. The media (both mainstream and alternative) is controlled by the Jewish mafia. And those who understand Jewish group behavior realize that these people have a long history of ganging up against gentiles in order to lie, cheat, steal and defraud them. Anyone who is unaware of this fact simply lacks an accurate picture of history. Jewish people perfected the "buddy system" concept when it comes to engaging in deceit. A good example of this can be seen by examining Zero Hedge's blog roll, as well as the blog roll of each blog listed on Zero Hedge's blog roll and you will notice a perpetual loop of idiots, con artists, doomsday pornography junkies, gold pumpers, broken clocks and faux heroes. At the end of the day, like all content that is ad-based, the Zero Hedge's only goal appears to be focused on convincing its sheep followers that it provides credible information in order to sell ads. As such, it appeals to the pseudo-freedom and liberty crowd, otherwise known as "libertarians." Many of the truly in-the-know refer to this crowd as the "supreme suckers." I like to refer to the followers of libertarian leaders as stooges of corporate fascism. The Libertarian leadership itself consists of Jewish con artists who seek to empower mega corporations at the expense of American workers and consumers. At the end of the day, Zero Hedge is your typical kosher media scam. For those who truly understand the ramifications of that statement, nothing more needs to be added. For others who are unable to decipher the full meaning of that statement, you have much to learn. Does it make any sense that major media firms would promote a BLOG where the contributors are afraid to reveal who they are? Does it make any sense that major media firms would cite hearsay from a blog, especially when the blog had no credible experts associated with it? It all makes perfect sense if you truly understand how the Jewish Mafia operates. Only a complete fool would pay attention to anyone who does not reveal who they are. Unfortunately there are many fools in the world today. In this report, I present the findings of a multi-year effort to uncover Zero Hedge. By the time you are finished reading this report, you are going to realize that Zero Hedge is a Jewish-run gold-pumping blog that publishes complete nonsense, baseless conspiracies and delusional conclusions, while exploiting its sheep audience. In short, Zero Hedge is an online version of Alex Jones' Infowars. Both are Fake News. In this detailed article, I intend to prove all of these claims and much more. In short, am going to provide the reader with an unprecedented analysis of this fake news blog with the hopes that you will be able to use this detailed example as a starting point to spot other media scams. You're also going to see how Zero Hedge serves as one of the pivot role in what I have previously identified as the gold-pumping crime syndicate. Finally, I will also show compelling evidence of what I have known for several years; namely that the liars, idiots and con artists behind Zero Hedge know well who I am and understand that my track record is untouchable. And given that I am an acclaimed research analyst with no agendas, and given my commitment to uncover fraud and expose con artists (especially within the financial industry and financial media) as you shall soon see, Zero Hedge has intentionally ignored mention of me and my work as a way to keep the gold crowd in the dark. A typical follower of Zero Hedge, Alex Jones, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Doug Casey and other disinfo sources speaks in the video below. This kid fails to realize how foolish he is so he posts videos on You Tube, never aware that people are laughing at him. There are millions of others that have put themselves in a similar predicament. Does this kid above have mental and/or emotional issues? I'm willing to bet on it. Do the followers of Peter Schiff, Alex Jones, Max Keiser/Ron Paul, Doug Casey Jeff Rense and Zero Hedge have mental and/or emotional issues? Probably. In the very least, they're fucking STUPID. Below is a short preview of the email exchange from 2012 (approximately) between an individual who emailed Zero Hedge and they Jewish coward and liar who goes by the name "Tyler Durden." Notice how "Durden" evades the issues and basically says "pay us and we will interview Stathis. Meanwhile, the Zero Hedge blog roll looks like a Who's Who of idiots, many of which charge for content. Email to “Tyler Durden” from (name withheld) "The fact that you guys are always promoting con artists with no credibility (the list is too long to post here, not to mention your blog roll, which is filled with amateurs and more gold shills) and terrible track records, while not one mention of the leading expert in the world on the collapse, Mike Stathis of AVA Investment Analytics and author of the 2006 book that predicted this depression, proves that you guys are gold shills and con artists." From: Tyler Durden <tyler@zerohedge.org> Subject: RE: Hot Tip "Here’s the thing. Neither we, nor the people we “promote”, charge for their content. The “leading expert” does. As such, us promoting him would be equivalent to advertising. Certainly if Mr. Stathis wishes to advertise on Zero Hedge he is welcome to do so. He should promptly send an email to ads@zerohedge.com We look forward to doing business with him. That is of course if Mr Stathis wishes to be promoted by 'gold shills and con artists'” NOTE: Zero Hedge does in fact promote numerous clowns who charge for content such as Harry Dent, Marc Faber, Chris Martenson, Doug Casey and several others. In addition, we provided all of our content at no charge for many years, yet Zeron Hedge was not interested in publishing it. Finally, don't you think a website that claims to present news would at least make mention of my amazing track record and perhaps seek to interview me? Zero Hedge is a typical kosher scam. Reply from (name withheld) "Thanks for your response, but actually, that's not exactly true. I've followed him for a good while now and he started restricting Some of his articles only because he has been banned everywhere. He only started restricting some content a few months ago. Also, there are two ways to charge people for content. The most misleading way thats always attached with motives is to give it away and sell advertisements on the site. Stathis has 0 ads. AVA is a investment research firm. Content is their means of business. The second way is to charge for content if it's valuable enough that people will pay for it. Stathis' content is the later. If you host ads, your content is ultimately dictated by advertisers. At my investment firm, we give away our research using it as a bonus because it's usually useless. We make money selling asset management and trading services. Also, I've seen you talk about or interview guys who charge crazy prices for their "content/subscriptions" and they arent even pros or have a real record of excellence. And I've seen you guys on ZH mention fund managers who missed the collapse. So the question is, given his record, it seems odd that there has never been mention of Stathis, his accurate forecasts or his spectacularlt detailed book packed with accurate predictions, or even an interview. But I've seen you guys interview some real used car salesmen. Could it be because you guys are gold pumpers and only want gold pumpers around? I bet that racks up the gold ad bucks."

Opening Statement from the May 2017 Dividend Gems Originally published on May 14, 2017
Opening Statement from the May 2017 Intelligent Investor Originally published on May 4, 2017 The recent Q1 2017 GDP growth rate of 0.7% is a bit worrisome, given that the U.S. economy continues to benefit from very strong consumer confidence. While this was the slowest year-over-year rate of economic growth in three years, the April 27th announcement of the GDP data barely caused the stock market to move, most likely due to the focus by most investors on earnings. 1 Thus far, first quarter earnings growth for 2017 has come in stronger than expected. With close to two-thirds of S&P 500 firms having reported earnings, approximately
Opening Statement from the May 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on April 30, 2017 On June 24, 2016, immediately after UK voters approved the referendum to exit the European Union, the global stock, bond and commodity markets sold off hard. By late fall of 2016 many stock and bond markets had mounted an impressive recovery, with some having soared to fresh new highs. In contrast, many commodities were reaching new multi-year lows. By late-2016 the commodities market was in midst of a strong rally fueled by continued strength in crude oil, gold, base metals and many other commodities. The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates for only the second time in nearly ten years by December. We closed out 2016 with improving economic momentum in the US, EU, China and many other nations. Consumer sentiment was high and rising. Employment data continued to improve, albeit modestly, while manufacturing PMI and global trade were trending upward. Finally, inflation was moving closer to a healthier level, erasing much of the previous deflation concerns we have been faced with since the post-crisis period. This broad strength in economic activity continued as we entered 2017. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points again during its March 2017 meeting, just days before the US stock market made new record highs. Despite various improvements over the past several months, commodities pricing has weakened since the beginning of 2017. This is particularly odd given improvements to inflation trends in the US, EU, Japan, and, as well as a global boost in consumer confidence and investor sentiment. One could argue geopolitical tensions have been the main source of the recent weakness in commodities pricing. Given that demand has picked up, it’s a bit strange that investors would emphasize (what we believe to be modest) geopolitical tensions over inflation data. Although counterintuitive, we believe the US dollar will
This little episode is just one of many that point to massive fraud committed by the media in promoting clowns as experts. Below is an interview from a couple years ago by Josh "the clown" Brown for the fake news website Benzinga (there are two videos below which may begin to play autmatically, so you might want to pause them). I've mentioned Brown a few times in the past, but not nearly as much as I'd like due to time constraints (there's just too many idiots and snake oil salesmen out there for one man to expose). In addition to steering sheep into a huge array of stocks that have since collapsed, Brown has also been trying to convince people that he can show them how to use the financial media for their own benefit (laughs). He even wrote a book addressing this very topic. Imagine that, a guy hailed by CNBC as an investment "expert" (despite his questionable past and absence of solid credentials) who writes a book which doesn't explain real investment skills (perhaps because he is lacking in that department) but a book that pitches the idea that you should tune into the media. Note that the following horrendous calls by Brown are ONLY a random sample. We do not follow Brown nor do we watch CNBC so we believe he has a much larger number of terrible calls. This is the exact OPPOSITE of what I have been saying for many years. In my professional opinion, as a tenured financial professional having worked with individual investors, private equity and hedge funds, as well as venture capital firms, the financial media is the single biggest enemy of investors. In fact, avoiding the media is the single best thing every investor can do to invest successfully. Given that Brown is a marketing guy who essentially makes a living from his media exposure, the premise in his book appears to be focused more on self-preservation than anything else...
I've previously exposed Jim Rickards (see related articles at the end). According to Rickards and the scam artists who put together his internet infomercials at Agora Financial (which also publishes the trash from Doug Casey and his monkeys, Harry Dent, David Stockman, Ron Paul, Nomi Prins, Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff and
Opening Statement from the April 2017 Dividend Gems Originally published on April 16, 2017 Immediately after the 2016 Presidential Election, Treasury yields soared along with the stock market reflecting investors’ optimism that Trump’s economic and fiscal policies would ultimately lead to more robust economic growth at the cost of higher inflation. Prior to the post-election rally, yields were at record lows, so there was certainly room for upside. But because yields rose so fast over such a short time frame investors became concerned that yields might be on course to reach excessive levels. We previously discussed that
In the video below (first recorded in 2013) Jewess Nomi Prins demonstrates how clueless she is regarding the landscape of the global economy and capital markets. Since this interview was published, Prins hooked up with the Jewish-run copywriting boiler room Agora Financial, which is by no means surprising. After all, her fear-mongering, doomsday nonsense is a perfect match for the doom and gloom trash bin which also publishes copywriting trash from Porter Stansberry, Doug Casey and Harry Dent, just to name a few of the jug heads who make a living from promoting fear and spreading disinformation. This might explains why Agora has also partnered with Alex Jones.
Opening Statement from the April 2017 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on April 2, 2017 (pre-market release) Update on Interest Rates Consistent with our forecast, on Wednesday, March 15 the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, as we had previously forecast. This marks only the third interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in nearly a decade. Over the past several years we have been providing a multiyear interest rate forecast in order to aid investors with asset allocation and risk management duties. Throughout this period we continued to forecast persistently low interest rates in spite of more hawkish forecasts made by academic and Wall Street economists as well as Federal Reserve officials. These forecasts were based on our assessment of
The lesson of the day points to the first image below, taken from a recent propaganda piece written by Schiff or one of his monkeys.
The con artists at CNBC refer to Louise Yamada as a "technical analyst legend." But of course, every Jew who is promoted on CNBC is a legend, right? From Peter Schiff to Marc Faber. Based on my analysis, Yamada's track record reveals her to be a technical analyst disaster.
You might recall an article I wrote a few years ago addressing John Williams, his hyperinflation lunacy and manipulation of the gold market by hacks like Williams. Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions The analysis was so compelling even Kitco's senior gold analyst made a point to reach out and congratulate me on my work. Imagine that. The senior analyst for a gold company making applauding my analysis exposing the gold pumping scene. Kitco Senior Gold Analyst Agrees with My Views on Gold Although I intended to blast Williams a few years earlier than 2011, I simply had no time. Even still, the release of this landmark article positioned me as at least the first if not the only person in the world to have irrefutibly debunked Williams and his ridiculous claims. The ironic thing was that I didn't even need to point out what a joke his so-called "inflation data" is. You see, Williams sells what he calls "economic research." That's his business. The only problem is that economic data is free and widely available in the U.S. The challenge for Williams is to somehow get people to believe his economic research provides a unique angle worthy of a paid subscription. This is where marketing to gold bugs comes in. By making factual claims about changes in the way government data is collected and then pulling an "Alex Jones" or "Peter Schiff-like" spin, you can market your "conclusions" in an economic newsletter to the conspiracy nut jobs, much of which include gold bugs. This approach works well when you're dealing with cult members, especially when they lack an adequate understanding of economics and the capital markets. Williams was rewarded for his propaganda early on, by becoming known unofficially as what I would refer to as the chief economist of the gold pumping doomsday crime syndicate...
We already know Trump is about as Jewish as you can get. As a matter of fact, I previously went on record claiming that he has more Jewish ties than Bernie Sanders. Just look at the people he has surrounded himself with for decades, from scum bags like his head attorney, Roy Cohn, who along with Trump has had numerous business dealings with the mafia, to hundreds of Jewish business men.
I've been meaning to expose Orman for quite some time but I just haven't had a chance. As you can imagine, the list of charlatans preying to people is virtually endless. Fortunately, I came across the video below which should suffice. In the future I hope to get to David Bach, Dave Ramsey and follow up on Robert Kiyosaki and Tony Robbins.
Opening Statement from the March 2017 Dividend Gems Originally published on March 19, 2017 Update on Interest Rates On Wednesday, March 15, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, as we had previously forecast (this forecast came after the February 2017 issue of Dividend Gems had been released). This marks only the third interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve in nearly a decade. As we have continued to stress, interest rates are an extremely important consideration for asset allocation. Continuous reassessment of interest rate forecasts is an especially important responsibility of investors who focus on dividend-bearing and fixed income securities. Over the past several years we have been providing a multiyear interest rate forecast in order to aid investors with asset allocation and risk management duties. Throughout this period we continued to forecast
In this video, I show specifically how Amazon is scamming its customers.
Professional gold-pumping doom and gloom marketers like Doug Casey (and his monkeys), Stefan Molyneux, Jeff Berwick, Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, John Williams, Harry Dent, Gerald Celente, David Stockman, Paul Craig Roberts, Lawrence Kotlikoff, Eric Sprott, Rick Rule, Jim Rickards, Robert Kiyosaki, James Turk, John Rubino, John Mauldin, Bill Fleckenstein, Mike Maloney, Alex Jones, Max Keiser, Ron Paul and hundreds of others (remember, birds of a feather always flock together) have many ways to get you to part with your hard-earned cash. Did You Get Fleeced by Max Keiser, Alex Jones and the Rest of the Stooges? Top 20 Gimmicks and Lies of Gold Charlatans - 100 pg e-book The most common tactic utilized by the doom and gloom marketing syndicate is to target your emotions by instilling fear, greed and anger. Along the way they make a variety of false statements as they set the bait. EXPOSED: Jim Rickards (Part 1) Most people fail to understand the complexity of scams utilized by this massive network of charlatans. If you have been a member or client of AVA Investment Analytics (AVAIA) for a few years, you probably know precisely what’s going on and how they operate. The California Gold Rush of the Twenty-First Century Moron of the Month - David Stockman As you might have already noticed, most members of the gold-pumping syndicate proudly refer to themselves as "libertarians." Ron Paul: Tool of Controlled Opposition and Gold Pumping Clown To reinforce this sham they have created the so-called "freedom and liberty movement." I have previously exposed that the so-called libertarian movement is merely a front for corporate fascism on steroids. In fact, I view the various so-called "freedom and liberty" movements as platforms for scam artists. S
