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.

Opening Statement from the November 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on November 15, 2020 Overview Over the past few weeks Europe has experienced an accelerated rate of new COVID-19 cases. In response officials have announced a reintroduction of lockdown measures which are likely to intensify in coming weeks as winter takes hold. Germany has announced a four-week lockdown of bars, restaurants, and movie theaters. Meanwhile, France is under a more comprehensive lockdown partly due to recent violence. Italy is also seeing a worrisome resurgence in COVID-19 cases but has thus far only imposed restrictions on bars and restaurants. Many other EU member nations have reintroduced a variety of lockdown measures and restrictions that are likely to intensify in coming weeks. The U.S. is also experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 cases. This has led to reintroduction of limited lockdown measures in many states. Although COVID-19 resurgence is worse in Europe, it appears as if the U.S. will soon catch up to and perhaps surpass the situation in Europe. China is the first major economy to recover from COVID-19. But a small handful of new cases in two Chinese cities have prompted officials to initiate intense lockdown measures, while most of the country remains unaffected. We do not anticipate the Chinese economy will lose much if any momentum through the end of the year. In recent months, many nations have debated whether to introduce additional stimulus to combat the devastating economic impact of COVID-19 lockdowns. The recent resurgence in COVID-19 cases has made the chance of additional stimulus much more likely, especially in Europe. The timing behind the stimulus is the big question. The resurgence of COVID-19 cases has adversely impacted the capital markets. Notably, global stock markets sold off in response to resurgence in COVID-19 cases. But equities markets recently bottomed and are in midst of a strong rally fueled by hopes of an effective vaccine against coronavirus. U.S. 2020 3Q GDP growth was reported at 33.1%, representing the largest quarterly gain on record. Estimates for Q4 GDP are less certain, ranging between 3% and 7%. The wide range of estimates for Q4 GDP reflects the uncertainty and timing of another stimulus package... Earnings We published our latest estimate of 2020 full year earnings growth for the S&P 500 at -15% in the October 2020 issue of Dividend Gems. Earnings results continue to beat consensus estimates at a significantly higher pace than what we have seen over the past several years... We believe this trend of strong earnings beats will persist through at least Q4 2020. As such, we are lowering our 2020 full year earnings growth estimate to -14%. Market Overview After experiencing a significant selloff two weeks before the U.S. presidential election, the U.S. stock market mounted a strong rally in the days prior to, during and after the election. This rally was felt throughout the globe reaching most equities markets...

Opening Statement from the October 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on October 7, 2020 Economy The slow pace of improvements in the U.S. labor market serves as one of many indicators confirming our long-held view that recovery from the COVID-induced global recession will be long and difficult. As further evidence of this claim, on October 2 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase of only 661,000 jobs in September, which was less that the 800,000 estimate. Although the unemployment rate fell from 8.5% the previous month to 7.9%, much of the decline was due to jobless workers no longer being counted. The September jobs data also revealed a sizable increase in long-term unemployment (a duration of 27 weeks or more) of 781,000, raising the total to 2.4 million. Moreover, 7.3 million workers have now been without a job for at least 15 weeks. Although the economy added 4.8 million jobs in June...

Opening Statement from the October 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on October 4, 2020 (pre-market release) Economy The slow pace of improvements in the U.S. labor market serves as one of many indicators confirming our long-held view that recovery from the COVID-induced global recession will be long and difficult. As further evidence of this claim, on October 2 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an increase of only 661,000 jobs in September, which was less that the 800,000 estimate.

Moreover, 7.3 million workers have now been without a job for at least 15 weeks. Although the economy added 4.8 million jobs in June, 1.8 million in July and 1.5 million in August, the U.S. economy is still down 10.7 million jobs from where it was in February, before the impact of the pandemic. We reiterate our view that up to one-third of the lost jobs will never return. As well, we believe the economic recovery is going to take much longer than most people realize. Most of the long-term unemployed continue to receive extended unemployment benefits which will run out by the end of 2020. However, another round of economic stimulus is all but certain. On September 30, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released its final estimate of GDP for 2Q at 31.4%, for the largest contraction on record, down from 31.7% in the previous month’s estimate. Although the expected rebound in 3Q GDP to (current estimates range between 22% and 25%) will officially end the recession, there is no way...
Opening Statement from the September 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on September 13, 2020 Interest Rates: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Once again, we would like to remind readers that interest rates are likely to remain very low for an extended period. We have been forecasting very low rates for several years. Fed Chairman Powell’s recent speech confirmed our notion of the Fed’s intention to keep rates low despite numerous global macro risks that have grown as a result of persistently low interest rates. An extended period of low interest rates has many implications for the capital markets. First and foremost, as you might imagine low interest rates bodes well for dividend investors. The past decade has already been one of the best in history for dividend investors. The next decade is likely to produce comparable results. Low interest rates have also created numerous problems. Several years of record-low interest rates has served as a catalyst for a variety of speculative behaviors. Overall, risk is not being adequately recognized in part because it has become virtually impossible to measure with any degree of confidence. We have reminded readers that the stock market continues to reach new highs even though the world remains in the most severe recession on record. The masses have latched onto indexing and other forms of passive investing such as robo advisers as the “easy solution” to obtain superior investment returns. Aside from potential liquidity issues, passive investing has all but eliminated the vital role of fundamental analysis and securities valuation. Moreover, greater access to stocks via mobile apps and fractional shares has been multiplied by the malignant impact of social media to lure millions of clueless youngsters into the stock market, transforming it into a casino of sorts. Finally, the wave of speculative behaviors seen in the equities market has been accentuated by recent changes to securities laws which now permit private equity funds (which lack the stringent transparency and regulatory oversight seen in publicly traded companies) to solicit investments directly to the public. The decade-long search for yield has forced institutions to seek out higher-risk investments. As one example...
Opening Statement from the September 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on September 2, 2020 Overview Investors continue to express what we believe is an overly excessive level of optimism regarding expectations of a so-called “V-shaped” economic recovery. Much of this upbeat sentiment has been boosted further in recent weeks due to rising progress in the race to develop an efficacious COVID-19 vaccine. But even with the unprecedented level of monetary and economic stimulus provided thus far, global growth is sitting at record lows with very little clarity in sight. If we assume a best-case scenario for... U.S. Economy Although the pace of job losses has declined significantly from record-highs made in April, jobs continue to be shed at record pace. As of August 2, more than 50 million jobs have been lost as a result of the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. As COVID-19 cases have resurfaced, many states and cities have once again shut down restaurants, bars, churches and other public venues. As long as officials prevent normal economic activity, more jobs will continue to be lost. Once again this underscores the importance of developing an effective vaccine. As a reminder, Q1 GDP growth came in at -5.0% (final revision). But we stated since March that Q2 would be the big number to watch for. Recently, Q2 GDP data were released. Not far from our estimates, Q2 GDP growth came in at a record low of -32.9 percent marked by a huge drop in consumption. The collapse in consumption was largely expected due to the shuttering of much of the service economy. As bad as the collapse in Q2 GDP was, it was better than consensus estimates from the street of 34.9 percent. As a reminder, our upper end estimate for Q2 GDP growth from May was -35 percent. We raised our estimates ...
Opening Statement from the September 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on August 31, 2020 (pre-market release) U.S. Economy The absence of consistent improvements in the U.S. labor market serves as one of many indicators confirming our long-held view that recovery from the COVID-induced global recession will be long and difficult. Notably, during the period of recovery additional risks could materialize thereby adding further strain to recovery efforts. Aside from shorter-term variables which might impact commodities pricing, it is important to keep in mind that interest rates are likely to remain very low for an extended period as a reflection of reduced output. Changes to Monetary Policy On August 27, Fed Chairman Powell announced a new strategy to address persistent undershooting of the Fed’s inflation target. Although the Fed’s inflation target is 2%, moving forward the Fed will allow inflation to rise higher than 2% for some undetermined time period in order to boost the overall average inflation rate to 2% over the past several years. Powell’s rational for the change in monetary policy is based on his claim that the persistently low average inflation rate has caused a series of economic problems. Fed also expects the move will boost employment. However, we believe it has been persistently low interest rates (which have been the response from the Fed to combat low inflation) which have led to numerous economic problems, not low inflation. Moreover, the current high unemployment rate has nothing to do with inflation. Remember that officials shut down the economy and this caused job losses. In reality, low inflation is good for the economy and it is good for consumers. But low inflation does not mandate low interest rates unless you are trying to raise inflation. Thus, interest rates could...

Opening Statement from the August 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on August 5, 2020 U.S. Economy Although the pace of job losses has declined significantly from record-highs made in April, jobs continue to be shed at record pace. As of August 2, more than 50 million jobs have been lost as a result of the hysteria surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. As COVID-19 cases have resurfaced, many states and cities have once again shut down restaurants, bars, churches and other public venues. As long as officials prevent normal economic activity, more jobs will continue to be lost. Once again this underscores the importance of developing an effective vaccine. As a reminder, Q1 GDP growth came in at -5.0% (final revision). But we stated since March that Q2 would be the big number to watch for. Recently, Q2 GDP data were released. Not far from our estimates, Q2 GDP growth came in at a record low of -32.9 percent marked by a huge drop in consumption. The collapse in consumption was largely expected due to the shuttering of much of the service economy. As bad as the collapse in Q2 GDP was, it was better than consensus estimates from the street of 34.9 percent. As a reminder, our upper end estimate for Q2 GDP growth from May was -35 percent. We raised our estimates to 35 percent to 45 percent in June while stating that we really had very little confidence in these estimates. Keep in mind that the data is from an early release and is thus subject to further revision in coming months. Q3 GDP growth is certain to represent a significant improvement from Q2 data. According to the latest estimates from the Atlanta Federal Reserve, U.S. Q3 GDP is expected rebound to 11.9 percent. But this estimate is based largely on expectations of reopening the economy. Due to resurgence in COVID-19 infections, we are now seeing closures of restaurants, bars and other establishments in key states such as California, Texas and Florida. If this trend continues it is likely to contain any rebound in growth from Q2 data. In short, based on what we see currently, we believe the estimate from the Atlanta Fed is quite optimistic.
Opening Statement from the August 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on August 3, 2020 (pre-market release) Overview Investors continue to express what we believe is an overly excessive level of optimism regarding expectations of a so-called “V-shaped” economic recovery. Much of this upbeat sentiment has been boosted further in recent weeks due to rising progress in the race to develop an efficacious COVID-19 vaccine. But even with the unprecedented level of monetary and economic stimulus provided thus far, global growth is sitting at record lows with very little clarity in sight. If we assume a best-case scenario for resolution to the economic collapse caused by the irresponsible response to the COVID-19 pandemic, things do not look particularly promising for the foreseeable future. If an effective vaccine is developed before the end of 2020 (an expectation we have held since March) it will still take many months to produce the vaccine in sufficient quantities. And it will require an even longer period to inoculate billions of people around the world with this vaccine. But even after everyone has been inoculated with a COVID-19 vaccine, things have already changed forever moving forward. COVID-19 ushered in a watershed event much like how the attacks on the World Trade Center introduced the world to a new and more restricted way of life as a result of the “war on terror.” This is a separate discussion to be reserved for another time....
Opening Statement from the July 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on July 19, 2020 Big Picture It is important to remember that the current economic collapse has been caused by reckless politicians, corporate bureaucrats, and the media. If the truth is ever acknowledged, we believe the global COVID-19 hysteria created by establishment figureheads will be viewed as the largest man-made economic disaster in world history. And now, racial riots in the U.S. are coinciding with an upswing in COVID-19 cases. Recurrences and lingering effects of the coronavirus are issues we warned about since March. It is important to keep in mind that all measures taken by central bankers and government officials in response to the economic crisis are only serving to buy time. We continue to believe the only solution to the COVID-19 recession will come when a vaccine has been developed. However, the racial issues will only get worse over time because that is the objective of those pulling the strings....
Opening Statement from the July 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on July, 2020 Overview As a result of the unprecedented support from Washington and the Fed, equities investors have generally discounted many of the longer-term risks stemming from the COVID-19 economic shutdown. Perhaps the only consideration made by investors for ongoing risks has been reflected in their strong preference for high-tech stocks which are viewed as less risky with respect to COVID-related risks. Accordingly, the Nasdaq continues to hit new record highs. In some regard, price multiples have expanded as a result of the persistent low interest rate environment. Even after factoring in this important consideration, we believe many earnings estimates are excessive. Regardless, moving forward, we believe the big tech names (AAPL, MSFT, NFLX, AMZN, NFLX, PYPL, etc.) will continue to outperform. Finally, drug makers and biotech firms should also perform well for obvious reasons. A low interest rate environment creates a challenging investment environment for dividend investors. The problem of low interest rates is most apparent for retirees and other investors seeking safe investments with reasonable yields. As we have emphasized for several years, this is a golden period for dividend investors who are able to minimize risk while navigating economic turbulence. Thus, we strongly recommend Dividend Gems as a supplement to the Intelligent Investor. ..
Opening Statement from the July 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on July 6, 2020 (pre-market release) The “Geniuses” Finally Declare Recession On June 9, the NBER listed February 2020 as the official start of the COVID-19 related recession in the U.S. As discussed in special webinars held in March (in addition to the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster) we have been in a global recession since mid-March. We also expected the impact from the response to COVID-19 to result in a record-low collapse in GDP for many nations. Finally, in early April we stated that most economic data from around the globe would be “off the charts.” This is precisely what we have seen. Adding to the uncertainty of this unprecedented period which was already facing trade-related risks, criticism is growing regarding China’s handling of the coronavirus. This friction is likely to impede progress in U.S.-China trade talks. Consequently, although China recorded record-low PMI and GDP data as a result of COVID-19, it is now showing signs of recovery. George Floyd Fiasco Over the past several weeks President Trump has been facing additional hurdles for reelection due to the ridiculous behavior from irrational Black Americans and Jewish agitators, who have used the questionable death of George Floyd to incite violence, destroy public and private property and loot. The situation is so ridiculous on so many levels that I cannot speak of it openly in the detail I would like without the risk of making it the primary focus of my time. It is important to consider that the COVID-19 lockdowns provided an opportunity for this wave of domestic terrorism. And now, Jewish-run corporate America is sending billions of dollars to reward the actions of these domestic terrorists. U.S. and Global Economy In the June 2020 issue of Dividend Gems, we released revisions to U.S. GDP estimates. We raised our Q2 2020 GDP (q-o-q) estimate from -25% to...
Opening Statement from the June 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on June 14, 2020 U.S. Employment Data: On April 12 (April 2020 Intelligent Investor) we released a formal estimate of 35 million (minimum) and 50 million (worst-case) job losses due to the COVID-19 hysteria. As of the most recent initial jobless claims data (week ending June 6) the U.S. has lost another 1.54 million jobs (versus 1.9 million the previous week) for a total of 44.2 million jobs lost over the past eleven weeks. In only two months, the U.S. unemployment rate (U-3) which had been the lowest in more than 40 years soared to the highest rate on record at 14.7%. In April, the U.S. recorded its largest one month increase in the unemployment rate in history (from 4.4% to 14.7%) as well as the highest rate since 1948 when the U.S. government began keeping official records of economic data. The gradual reopening of the economy has resulted in some improvement in employment data. For instance, although unemployment (U-3) reached a new high at 17.1% (weekly data) it has since declined to 14.5%. Meanwhile, continuing claims (those who have been collecting unemployment benefits for more than two weeks) declined to 21 million after reaching a recent peak of 25 million. Previously we discussed that millions of Americans were not likely to have been included in the unemployment data from March and April. We now know that 8.1 million American workers were not included in the April unemployment data due to misclassification. After adjusting for this correction, the real unemployment rate (U-3) from April was 19.5%. So long as officials continue to make progress reopening the economy, the labor market will begin to show signs of improvement. But we believe a large percentage of lost jobs (12 to 15 million) will never return. This brings us to a more accurate gauge of unemployment known as the U-6 unemployment rate. The U-6 rate soared to 22.8% in April (unadjusted for corrected data as discussed above). Washington has created a huge incentive for many Americans not to seek employment. Part of the problem with what is expected to become a persistently high unemployment rate is being exacerbated by the overly generous benefits that have been provided to unemployed workers through the CARES Act. In addition to their unemployment insurance, each worker who lost his or her job is also receiving $600 per week. Thus, a large percentage of U.S. workers (up to 20%) who lost their job since March are receiving twice as much from total unemployment compensation as they earned working full time. Even worse, under the CARES Act there is no requirement for unemployed workers to actively seek employment. Hence, the overly generous assistance being provided to many of the nation’s unemployed population presents a major problem that must be addressed sooner rather than later.
Opening Statement from the June 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on June 4, 2020 (pre-market release) Overview As discussed in special webinars held in March (as well as in the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster) the impact from the response to COVID-19 is likely to result in a record-low collapse in GDP for many nations. In our view, we have been in a global recession since mid-March. Moreover, in early April we stated that most economic data from around the globe would be “off the charts.”
Opening Statement from the June 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on June 31, 2020 Overview As a result of the reckless actions of officials in response to the coronavirus outbreak, we have seen numerous unprecedented events over the past two months, including: two emergency rate cuts by the Federal Reserve smashing short-term interest rates down to a range of 0 to 25 basis points, a $2.2 trillion stimulus package from Washington, over $7 trillion in credit facilities created the Fed, a collapse in U.S. Treasury yields to record lows, a collapse in crude oil to negative pricing for the first time ever, the most rapid collapse in the U.S. stock market from record-highs into a bear market, the loss of 40.8 million jobs in the U.S., record-high unemployment, record-low PMI and GDP data for several countries. As discussed in special webinars held in March (as well as in the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster) the impact from the response to COVID-19 is likely to result in a record-low collapse in GDP for many nations. In our view the world has been in recession since mid-March. Moreover, we stated in early April that most economic data from around the globe would be “off the charts.”
The fact of the matter is that Jamie Foxx is similar to just about every single black person who has ever held a role in Hollywood. He lacks talent. And he certainly wasn't recruited into Hollywood due to his looks. Foxx was inducted into the Hollywood mind control cult in order to fulfill the Jewish Hollywood agenda of displacing white role models with black characters that share little with black people in the real world. Imagine if a white man talked about a movie whereby he gets "to kill all of the blacks." First you would not hear the fake cheers as you heard when Foxx boasted about getting to kill all of the whites. Next, the white man who proudly boosted about killing all of the blacks in the movie would be called racist, the movie would be banned and he would be cast aside by Hollywood, unable to work again. I hope people are beginning to see what's going on. Similar to all blacks in the entertainment business, Foxx has been instructed by his racist Jewish handlers to use every opportunity he can find to demonize whites and express hatred towards them while pretending he's joking. This is the kind of BS manipulation that has fueled the Jewish-led anti-White movement.
Opening Statement from the May 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on May 17, 2020 For the US, Q1 2020 GDP was reported at -4.8 percent. We believe Q2 GDP data will easily surpass the –8.4 percent collapse (final revised data) reported in Q4 2008 (note that the GDP data will be revised for many years before the real numbers are known). Moreover, it should be apparent that corporate earnings growth for the full 2020 year will post large declines. The earnings recession in US stocks ended by Q4 2019 but is guaranteed to resume once Q1 and Q2 earnings have been reported...
Opening Statement from the May 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on May 6, 2020 (pre-market release) It is important to acknowledge that the current economic crisis has been caused not by greedy Wall Street bankers (as is usually the case) but by reckless politicians and corporate bureaucrats who have jumped aboard the fearmongering COVID-19 bandwagon, which might ultimately serve other agendas. At some point, if the truth is ever recorded the COVID-19 hysteria will be viewed as an economic disaster that could have been avoided if not for the misguided actions of officials. Fortunately, many of the same officials who were quick to shut down the economy are beginning to realize how bad things will get the longer the economy remains closed. Officials from around the world are now starting to gradually reopen their economies as new COVID-19 infections are either in decline or leveling off. But we cannot neglect the possibility of a recurrence during the winter months given the virus’ (rarely mentioned) low ability to survive in hot climates. Global Economy China: China’s economy was already fragile due to the trade dispute with the US. Of particular concern is China’s very risky, opaque and bloated financial system which is closely linked to its (largely) state-run economy. COVID-19 has already resulted in record-low PMI and GDP data. Although China appears to be in the process of an economic recovery...
The following audio was created sometime in 2014 or 2015.
Opening Statement from the May 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on May 3, 2020 Overview No one alive today has ever witnessed an economic collapse of this magnitude over such a short time span. In just a few weeks we have seen the following: two emergency rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, a $2.2 trillion stimulus package from Washington, $6 trillion in credit facilities created the Fed, a collapse in US Treasury yields to record lows, a collapse in oil prices to negative pricing for the first time ever, the most rapid collapse in the US stock market from record-highs, loss of 30 million jobs in the US, record-low PMI and GDP data for several countries. As discussed in special webinars held in March (as well as in the Intelligent Investor and Market Forecaster) the impact from the response to COVID-19 is likely to result in a record-low collapse in GDP for many nations. In our view the world has been in recession since mid to late-March. As we stated in April, we believe most economic data from around the globe will be “off the charts.” For the US, Q1 2020 GDP was recently reported at -4.8 percent. We believe there is a good chance Q2 GDP will surpass the –8.4 percent collapse (final revised data) reported in Q4 2008 (note that the GDP data will be revised for many years before the real numbers are known). Although not yet reported, it should be apparent that corporate earnings have collapsed. The earnings recession in US stocks ended by Q4 2019 but is guaranteed to resume in Q1 2020 as a result of COVID-19. We have no doubt that Q1 and Q2 S&P 500 earnings will be negative. Estimates for Q3 and Q4 are too difficult to determine at this point. But we do not expect the S&P 500 to record earnings growth for the full 2020 year. The possibility of a huge wave of corporate bankruptcies is also of major concern. The Fed has attempted to reduce...
YouTube is a Jewish-run criminal organization operating under the umbrella of Jewish mafia-run Google. YouTube and Google have been committing advertisement fraud for years, which seemingly impacts only corporations. Once when you consider that corporations are wasting billions of dollars on Google’s Adsense platform which yields poor results, it means corporations that use online advertising will raise prices to counter the poor returns on advertising. What this means is that consumers are being ripped off. Unfortunately, very few corporations realize that online advertising is a huge Jewish scam. Quite simply, most of the false claims are false and the data displayed to advertisers is largely bogus. Meanwhile, under the direction of Google, YouTube allows crooks and cons to promote scams, porn, pedophilia and disinformation. And this disgusting content is being tagged with advertisements. Google and YouTube need to be shut down along with all of the other Jewish-run social media scams. There should be no doubt that the Jewish mafia has extended its nefarious business operations...
Opening Statement from the April 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on April 19, 2020 Overview Prior to the “Coronavirus collapse” of 2020 we had been gradually increasing our bearish bias on the stock market due to valuation concerns. First, we lowered reentry prices for most securities on the Recommended List. We also recommended fewer securities for investors looking to take new positions. Finally, for securities where investors held positions we advised the use of stop-loss orders to protect against large sudden downside. At the same time, we generally did not advise selling these stocks because they were continuing to benefit from strong momentum. As it turned out, our bearish guidance and risk management strategy has worked out very well for the majority of stocks on the Recommended list since February. In the March issue (published on March 15) we recommended investors look to gradually reenter select securities and add to current positions. We provided more specific guidance in the detailed securities analysis section. This general guidance turned out to be the right call, as the stock market made a bottom one week later (March 23) and has since entered a strong bull rally, having officially exited the bear market that begun in March. Keep in mind that we publish each monthly issue of Dividend Gems on a specified predetermined date rather than publishing issues when we believe we can provide the best recommendations. Given the extreme volatility and unprecedented events that have taken place over the past two months, even we are surprised at the results of our recommendations. In short, our active management recommendations from the February and March issues turned out remarkably good. Moving forward...
Listen to this idiot attempt to speak. You can barely understand what he's saying. Why would the media even air this fool? This is just another example of the "Jewish advantage" which equates to discrimination against gentiles by Jews in favor of Jews. All Jewish-run firms and industries always discriminate against gentiles in favor of Jews. This is a fact...
Opening Statement from the April 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on April 9, 2020 (pre-market release) To remind investors how fast things have changed, we have posted some excerpts from the February 2020 Intelligent Investor Opening Statement (published February 6, pre-market)… Most likely, stock market volatility due to the Coronavirus drama is not yet finished…the potential for higher levels in 2020 for the market indexes remains relatively high given...On the other hand, excessive stock valuations have created a possible scenario whereby it might not take much for the market to enter into a strong correction. <- The stock market made new record highs through mid-February, but then entered a strong correction, which later progressed into a market collapse. On March 15 from the March 2020 Dividend Gems… Even though the panic surrounding the Coronavirus outbreak is not justified, it’s going to take a large toll on the economy and stock market…Combining all of the adverse consequences of the Coronavirus hysteria, we believe earnings estimates will get crushed from current levels…The main concern...is that the Coronavirus outbreak is in its early stages, so it’s likely to get much worse, especially in the United States. This has dire implications for the economy and capital markets. <-A few hours later the Fed announced a 100bp emergency rate cut. Two weeks later Washington passed a $2.2 trillion stimulus package. Overview As first discussed several weeks ago, we expect to see global economic data that’s “off the charts.” Even with the recent $2.2 trillion stimulus package passed by Washington on March 27, we do not think there is any way the US can avoid a recession because we believe it’s already here. We have no doubt the US is in the early stages of what is likely to be a deep recession. The duration of the recession is largely in the hands of officials. Even though another stimulus package is likely, officials have shut down the economy. Despite consensus views which place a best-case scenario for a Coronavirus vaccine at 12 to 18 months, we believe there is a good chance that a vaccine ready for distribution before the end of 2020 and/or one or more effective treatments to be released. The timing and extent by which these events occur will largely determine whether or not we face another leg down in the global recession due to vulnerabilities in the financial system...

Opening Statement from the April 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on April 5, 2020 Overview The economic and financial impact resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented. As first discussed several weeks ago, we expect to see global economic data that’s “off the charts.” Even with the recent $2.2 trillion stimulus package passed by Washington on March 27, we do not think there is any way the US can avoid a recession because we believe it’s already here. We first announced this conclusion in mid-March even though we assumed a stimulus package would be passed. COVID-19 Hysteria The response by officials to COVID-19 has been improperly focused, poorly calculated and largely reckless. Meanwhile, the media has made things much worse. As a result, COVID-19 hysteria has led to widespread panic and fear. First, the travel and tourism industries were hit hard. Now, just about everything is being hit hard as the US follows much of the world in locking down its economy. As early as March 1 when the US had only around 100 confirmed cases of COVID-19, we warned there would be an explosion of cases in the US. We found this troubling given that there was already a huge overreaction by officials. By March 24, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the US had soared to 50,000. Three days later the number of cases had doubled to more than 100,000 due to the rollout of testing. As of April 5, there are now more than 340,000 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 and over 9600 deaths. In reality, these numbers are not much different than those seen with the seasonal flu. The main difference is the lack of treatment options with COVID-19...

Opening Statement from the March 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on March 15, 2020 Overview Over the past several months we have been gradually increasing our bearish bias on the stock market due to valuation concerns. We have used a few basic strategies to reflect our increasingly bearish sentiment. First, we have been reducing reentry prices for most securities on the Recommended List. We have also been recommending fewer securities for investors seeking to take new positions. Finally, for securities where investors held current positions, we advised the use of stop-loss orders to protect against downside. At the same time, we did not advise selling these stocks because they were continuing to benefit from strong momentum. We had not previously taken this more defensive approach prior to several months ago. As it turned out, because the stock market has collapsed by around 25% since the February issue, our bearish guidance and risk management strategy worked out well for the majority of stocks on the Recommended list. Because the market has primarily remained in a strong bearish trend since late February, most investors...
And he's also been preaching the same doom shit for years. Anyone who listens to these one-way charlies is destined for financial doom.
Opening Statement from the March 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on March 1, 2020 Overview Just as the weakness in the global economy appeared to be bottoming, fears of a slowdown due to the Coronavirus outbreak have added an additional layer of downside momentum to global growth. We previously addressed many criticisms regarding public reaction to the Coronavirus outbreak in several audios and a recent article published on the website titled, “The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Con That Fooled the World.” It’s shocking to see how much the world is reacting to something that’s much smaller in terms of the number of cases and fatalities to the seasonal flu (commonly caused by the Influenza virus). Given that we are currently only experiencing the early stages of the outbreak, things could get much worse. If reactions have been this bad with relatively few cases and fatalities, how bad will sentiment become when the outbreak advances? To reiterate, at this stage we believe the response to the Coronavirus has been greatly exaggerated and is doing much more harm to the global economy than the actual outbreak. But we cannot ignore sentiment even if it’s based on unfounded rationale. Widespread panic and irrational behavior stemming from the Coronavirus outbreak is putting downward pressure on global growth. We already see...
Opening Statement from the February 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on February 17, 2020
Opening Statement from the February 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on February 6, 2020 (pre-market release) Geopolitical Risks On January 2, 2020 the US military conducted a fatal military drone strike in Bagdad targeting Iran’s top military general, Qasem Soleimani. In response, Iranian leaders vowed to strike US military interests in the region. On January 7, 2020 Iran launched 13 ballistic missiles targeting two Iraqi military bases housing US troops. No casualties were reported, and we believe this was the result Iran sought. Even though Iran’s missile strike may not lead to an escalation of military conflict it will be used by Washington to coordinate geopolitical and military strategy towards Iran. Below we summarize some important geopolitical issues.
Opening Statement from the February 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on February 2, 2020 Overview On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially left the European Union after more than three and one-half years since voters decided in a referendum held on June 23rd 2016. But the details of trade between the UK and EU have yet to be determined adding to global trade uncertainty. Meanwhile, economic weakness in the EU continues to worsen as expected with France and Italy as standout underperformers. Quarterly GDP came in at only 0.1 percent, its slowest pace of growth in nearly seven years. The selloff in crude oil is largely due to fears of a more pronounced economic slowdown. We believe...
Opening Statement from the January 2020 Dividend Gems Originally published on January 19, 2020 2019 in Review Despite a disappointing year in earnings for the S&P 500, all three major US stock market indexes performed spectacularly well for the entire year marked by jaw dropping gains in Q4 2019, rivaling the performance in Q1 2019. For the entire 2019 calendar year, the S&P 500 returned more than 28 percent recording its best year since the 30 percent gains in 2013. Meanwhile, the Dow delivered a very impressive 22 percent. Finally, the Nasdaq led all three major market indexes with eye-popping returns of 35 percent. Much of the gains in the equities market were the result of increasing optimism of resolution to the trade dispute between the US and China, coupled with the Fed’s reversal in monetary policy from the more hawkish stance taken in 2018...
Opening Statement from the January 2020 Intelligent Investor (part 1) Originally published on January 9, 2020 2019 in Review Despite a disappointing year in earnings for the S&P 500, all three major US stock market indexes performed spectacularly well for the entire year marked by jaw dropping gains in Q4 2019, rivaling the performance in Q1 2019. For the entire 2019 calendar year, the S&P 500 returned more than 28 percent recording its best year since the 30 percent gains in 2013. Meanwhile, the Dow delivered a very impressive 22 percent. Finally, the Nasdaq led all three major market indexes with eye-popping returns of 35 percent. Much of the gains in the equities market were the result of increasing optimism of resolution to the trade dispute between the US and China, coupled with the Fed’s reversal in monetary policy from the more hawkish stance taken in 2018. At the start of 2019 many investors were wondering if the bull market in stocks had finally ended after witnessing a severe selloff throughout Q4 2018. The selloff began in October 2018, and gradually progressed into a gut wrenching collapse in December highlighted by the market collapse on Christmas Eve. By the end of 2018, the three major market indexes had lost an average of nearly 6 percent amounting to the worst performance since the financial crisis in 2008. The market correction in Q4 2018 was particularly worrisome for two reasons. First...
Opening Statement from the January 2020 CCPM Forecaster Originally published on January 6, 2020 (pre-market release) Global Economic Overview For the first time in several years we are witnessing the convergence of numerous macro risk factors which have weighed on investor sentiment. Sentiment continues to be led by trade disputes as well as the impact of persistently negative bond yields and declining interest rates. Meanwhile, geopolitical variables are increasing in prominence. A broad assessment of the global macroeconomic landscape is sobering. The European Union economy continues to weaken as a result of the Washington-Beijing trade dispute. Moreover, significant levels of social and political unrest remain apparent. This weakness in the EU has forced the ECB to extend the date of its first interest rate hike in more than a decade. In fact, our previous forecast of another rate cut by the ECB materialized recently. In 2018 we mentioned that Germany would be adversely impacted by a prolonged trade dispute between Washington and Beijing given Germany’s high reliance on trade with China (Intelligent Investor). Over the past year Germany has reported two quarters of declining GDP growth. And it might already be in a recession by the time GDP data are revised. The EU’s second largest economy, France is not doing much better. Meanwhile, 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 as a result of the uncertainty regarding if, when and under what conditions England intends to leave the EU. Latin America remains volatile led by an unprecedented economic and political crisis in Venezuela which continues to be marked by chronic hyperinflation which has led to human suffering. U.S. economic sanctions have made the situation much worse. Argentina faces its own political turmoil and ongoing economic crisis, having received the largest loan in IMF history. And Brazil continues its struggle to recover from its worst economic and political crisis in history. More recently, Bolivia and Chile are now experiencing social unrest. Despite several attempts to boost growth, the Japanese economy remains weak. And we cannot forget about ongoing tensions between South Korea and Japan stemming from a legal dispute from forced Korean labor during WWII. The dispute has created numerous trade issues including Korean boycotts of Japanese goods. Political crises in Iraq and Lebanon have recently added to the many challenges in the Middle East (i.e. Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia). Although the Chinese economy has managed to hold up relatively well during its trade dispute with the U.S., we remain skeptical regarding the accuracy of its publicly reported economic data. Even still, GDP growth continues to decline and has now reached a 27-year low at 6.0%. With a slowing economy and mounting trade pressures, China remains in a vulnerable position with nowhere to turn. Over the past few years China’s total debt has skyrocketed to 300 percent of GDP accounting for 15 percent of all global debt. Unlike the situation prior to the 2008 global financial crisis...
Updated from the original story, The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Con That Fooled the World Various bureaucratic organizations continue to fuel the Coronavirus hysteria. And the media is eating it up while cashing in on advertisement revenues. This ensures the positive feedback loop of propaganda persists even though there are no signs that the outbreak will be as problematic as the seasonal flu. Everywhere you turn you're seeing and hearing something about the Coronavirus. And it's all panic based. Several media firms have even created special categories to focus on pumping out content on the Coronavirus. Take a look at the stock quote page on Yahoo Finance for Walt Disney (DIS) shown below. The page was saved just as it appeared. Nearly even article is about the Coronavirus. And all I wanted was to read some news about Disney's business. Boiler room news outfit Yahoo has even added a Coronavirus category in order to hype the drama even more. The establishment has been responsible for creating this highly unnecessary panic. It's been the public's reaction to endless Coronavirus fear mongering that's actually made the situation far more dire than a worst-case scenario for the outbreak. And I haven't even discussed any of the bat shit crazy conspiracy theories and fake news narratives being pumped out on the Coronavirus. One of the more popular nut job rumors floating around social media and YouTube is that the virus has been engineered by China to contain HIV as a weapon to combat the west. Advocates of these ridiculous claim are likely to be spotted posting comments on flat earth videos as well. It is indeed mind boggling that the Coronavirus drama continues to grow at an alarming rate in absence of a commensurate degree of severity. Alas, the Coronavirus propaganda campaign has now boosted the chances of a global recession over the next twelve months. Previously, we attached a 20% chance of recession in the US. But based on the panic response to the Coronavirus, we have now raised the odds to 35%. These odds could quickly rise depending on how US officials handle the inevitable growth in new cases. It's important to understand that under normal circumstances, the number of Coronavirus cases in the US should be expected to explode in coming months. This is a normal outcome for any new virus which enters the human population in a new region for the first time. But when you have every government body and media outlet putting the spotlight on every new case, it distorts the reality of the situation. In some ways I understand why the public has added to the hysteria. After all, what's a person supposed to think when major cities declare a state of emergency after the first case has been detected? In that situation how can you expect people to not react as if the virus is some crazy killing machine? It gets even worse. Some cities are declaring a state of emergency without even having a single case. What kind of message is that sending to the general population? It's as if officials are intentionally trying to destroy economic activity. At the very least one would think these same bureaucrats would try to educate the public about the normal course of infection of flu-like viruses, as well as expected morbidity and mortality stats. As a first step, responsible officials should have educated the public as to the data on the seasonal flu in order to provide the public with some kind of perspective. But officials have not even explained that the infection is in its infancy, especially in the US, and is expected to...
If the wave of fear mongering we see today with the Coronavirus outbreak reminds you of the gold pumping syndicate, there's good reason, as we can draw many comparisons. In fact, many gold pumpers are using the Coronavirus as a sales pitch for gold. These are the many of same people who are responsible for spreading baseless lies about the virus. For instance, Jewish gold-pumping clown Jim Sinclair (who pumps the doomsday narrative in order to lure suckers into his epic failure mining stock) claimed without any evidence whatsoever...

Over the past several weeks I published a few (unrehearsed) audios discussing the exaggerated response to the Coronavirus outbreak. If I didn't know better, I’d have thought this fear-mongering campaign was being led by Alex Jones, Jeff Rense, David Icke and the rest of the so-called "alternative media" con artists and gatekeepers. The problem is that it's being led primarily by the so-called "mainstream media." Instead of countering the Coronavirus scare as a hoax as their predictable reaction to anything from the "mainstream," the "alternative media" shills have willingly jumped aboard the Coronavirus narrative adding their own mix of fiction in order to sell ads. With the Coronavirus having been identified as a major global health risk, virtually everyone is responding in near panic mode to warnings from government bodies across the globe. At times I feel like I’m watching a low budget sci-fi. It's quite shocking and sad to witness proof positive that the masses have become so gullible. See Coronavirus Hysteria Continues Showing How Gullible Most People Are Perhaps future the warnings about the Coronavirus outbreak will be warranted. But for now, it's obvious to me that everything has been blown way out of proportion. Critics might respond that it's better to be safe than sorry. I would counter that argument by reminding readers that sometimes the fear of an event can result in greater damage than the actual event itself. This is the main problem I see with the Coronavirus hysteria. We are now seeing this scenario unfold in global equities markets. As I first stated nearly four weeks ago, I have not seen any evidence whatsoever indicating a reasonable chance that the Coronavirus (recently designated as COVID-19 by the WHO) will result in a major global outbreak leading to high fatality rates. As of the date of this publication I continue to stand by that view. Let's hope I'm proven correct. Even though the reality of the Coronavirus outbreak continues to lack sufficient justification for most of the measures taken, the resulting hysteria has already adversely impacted virtually every business in Southeast Asia with plant closings, school closings, lockdowns and a variety of other measures. Most recently, parts of Europe are now engaging in exaggerated responses to confirmed cases of COVID-19 infections despite only a small number of cases having been confirmed. I say "small number" because when compared to the typical spread of infectious agents causing the seasonal flu, the numbers reported for COVID-19 are not only quite low in Europe, but also in China once adjusted for key variables. In order to be convinced of this claim you’re going to need to be exposed to the proper perspective. But of course, most people lack proper perspective. As a result, they're often fooled by the media, con artists and other purveyors of disinformation. Even misinformed individuals who have no agendas are can be fooled into believing ridiculous claims simply because they lack proper perspective. This is where critical thinking can provide great assistance. If you chose to place your faith in anything published by any media outfit you may as well tattoo the word "lemming" on your forehead. At least people will respect you more for knowing what you are. It's easy for anyone lacking the proper perspective to get things wrong. Without the proper perspective, propaganda ring leaders will have an easy time convincing you of things that aren't at all true. And you won't realize you're being fooled because they'll offer cherry-picked bits and pieces of data in order to convince you that their claims are true. This is the modus operandi of con artists and cult leaders. Disinformation among the masses has become increasingly common given that many people tend to use the Internet to engage in what they consider “research,” even though their sources are most often inaccurate or at best misleading. While a large amount of the problem is due to search algorithms which promote confirmation bias, the lack of critical thinking skills and the ability exercise logic have also added to the Age of Disinformation. (1) At the end of the day, most people lack basic critical thinking skills which prevents them from realizing they're being manipulated by search algorithms, as well as sources lacking credibility or possessing obvious agenda and hence bias. Adding to the problem, many of these individuals are convinced they possess excellent critical thinking skills and are able to use logic in order to arrive at conclusions and prove their points. Unfortunately, more often than not such individuals suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect. (2) Although the Coronavirus originated in China, we cannot forget that the hysteria was started by the US media in conjunction with various global organizations that are controlled by the US establishment, such as the World Health Organization. Thereafter, it wasn't long before every country in the world reacted as if what I would consider a "relatively modest" Coronavirus outbreak was some kind of global emergency threatening to wipe out half of the world population. It kind of sounds like something Alex Jones would promote, doesn’t it? Now if you don't think the outbreak is "relatively modest," you lack proper perspective with regards to the spread and fatality rates of pathogens. Stay tuned for a bit of detail on this. As a result of the virus having spread to Italy and Germany, global stock markets have been decimated over the past few days. If one can identify a silver lining here, it's that valuations were way too high to begin with making it quite easy for investors to find a reason to sell stocks. And that’s precisely what’s happened. We even warned about this scenario two weeks ago. (3) The only problem is that the Coronavirus hysteria isn’t likely to end anytime soon. Alternatively, it could be replaced by some other headline after officials claim the spread has been contained, but could reappear at a later time. Regardless, chances are high that investors will at some point forget about the Coronavirus fears and jump back into stocks once valuations become too attractive to ignore. (4) As previously mentioned, the Coronavirus hysteria was started by US officials and certain media mobsters. Once the drama was set into motion all other media companies ran with the hype because it represented a great path to generate advertisement dollars. (5) The World Health Organization (WHO) and other global organizations continue to sound the fear-mongering alarm. In response to widespread fears of a COVID-19 pandemic, numerous multinational corporations and entire cities across the globe have shutdown, threatening to push the already weak global economy into recession. Now that the US stock market has entered freefall, the White House is backing away from previous claims that the Coronavirus outbreak is as serious as previously reported. After all, with the presidential election just months away a weak economy and declining stock market won't help Trump's chances for reelection, especially given that he’s constantly grading his performance based on the performance of the US economy and stock market. The White House has already entered damage control mode in attempt to curtail fears of a widespread COVID-19 outbreak in the US, having recently authorized $3 billion to prevent its spread. This action is meant to boost consumer and investor confidence more than anything because the White House knows that the biggest problem faced by COVID-19 isn't the damage it might cause as a result of infections, but the damage due to exaggerated and overblown fears. There are other segments to the Coronavirus story worth mentioning. The panic response from the Coronavirus fear-mongering campaign has opened the door for an army of fake news charlatans to strike "advertisement gold" by generating millions of views from fake news videos and articles. (6) See Climate Change Cult Leader Chris Martenson is Creating Coronavirus Fake News Although the Coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in mid-December 2019, as of February 26, 2020, there have been just over 81,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases with just under 2800 deaths, almost all from China. Perhaps the most stunning thing about the Coronavirus hysteria is that the masses don't seem to understand that the virus does not cause some kind of crazy illness with a 50%+ fatality rate like the Ebola virus. In fact, the Coronavirus causes a common respiratory tract infection similar to other types of respiratory viruses. In reality, the Coronavirus is not fundamentally different than the Influenza virus. The Influenza virus is the pathogen most commonly associated with the seasonal flu. It too originates from China. Both viruses infect the respiratory system causing a variety of respiratory illnesses. The main determinant of the severity of the illness caused by most respiratory tract infections (including Coronavirus and Influenza virus) is whether the infected person is considered to be in a high-risk group. Individuals in one or more high risk groups are the most vulnerable to severe infection leading to death. Vulnerable individuals include children under the age of 5, individuals with certain kinds of respiratory disease such as asthma, people with diabetes, elderly and other immunocompromised individuals. Medical officials from various organizations such as the WHO have identified the strain of the Coronavirus that originated from Wuhan, China (COVID-19) as causing a more serious illness than the typical Coronavirus infection which is usually results in a mild illness. However, they have not presented sufficient data showing the age distribution of all individuals who have been infected, nor have they provided data identifying preexisting medical conditions or disorders present in each infected individual that could contribute to
The following audio was first created and published in 2016. It seems that Peter Schiff has formed business relationships with his tribesmen at copywriting boiler room Agora Financial (via Wall Street Daily). Take note folks, as this not only further implicates Schiff as a fear mongering con man, but it also adds more ridiculous predictions to his already terrible track record. As you listen to Mike break down the copywriting scam in the audio below, you might want to download the PDF (located at the end of the article) for a full transcript of the email marketing pitch from Wall Street Daily and Schiff. Notice that perennial con man Jim Rogers, also a member of the doomsday syndicate, is on the "board of directors" of Wall Street Daily. Remember, you are judged by the company you keep. If you haven't already figured out that Rogers makes most of his money from gigs like this as a result of his media presence, hang tight because I'll be releasing a nice piece pointing to this in the future.
The images below should serve to remind everyone about the clowns promoted by the media as "experts." Instead of valuable insight, these clowns pitch a fear and doom narrative to the masses of unintelligent individuals who are too naive to realize when they're being conned. Remember folks, these broken clocks are pitching a fictional narratives that never change. You will never make money in the long run listening to broken clocks. This should be obvious at this point. If it isn't then you have a short memory. You also have a great deal of financial pain in your future. Check the track records of Faber, Schiff, Rogers and the rest of this crowd and you'll see what I mean. And if you actually think these clowns have even a decent track record, all I can say is may God help you. I explain the details how these scam artists are fleecing their cult members in the audios below.

Opening Statement from the December 2019 Dividend Gems Originally published on December 15, 2019
Some readers may need to read a few previous articles I've written about Chris Martenson in order to put everything into context. However, for those who are not familiar with Mr. Martenson, I'll provide a brief rundown before proceeding to discuss the focus of this article. I've discussed Chris Martenson several times over the years because I believe he's engaging in less than honest business practices for the purpose of selling snake oil. In short, Martenson is someone the public should be warned about because he's selling fear and disinformation while marketing himself as a credible source of insight. Let me be clear. Chris Martenson is by no means credible. If Martenson kept to himself and only posted his nonsense on his huckster-themed "Peak Prosperity" website, his deception wouldn't be much of an issue because his reach would be limited. But considering that Martenson has been aired in the media many times and continues to deliver his nonsense throughout the so-called "alternative media," it's important that someone expose this man because he is hurting many people in ways they might not imagine. First, let's review some of Martenson's fear-mongering from the past. The images below do a good job of summarizing his track record. For some reason Martenson has made it into the financial media on a number of occasions despite having no experience working in the capital markets. Martenson never worked on Wall Street, he never managed money and he is not an investment analyst. After you see what I have to reveal about Martenson you'll understand why he has gained traction in the media. Below you can see some of the sites that link to Martenson's Robert Kiyosaki-like themed website, Peak Prosperity. If you want a fairly comprehensive list of the gold pumping disinformation fake news syndicate, simply check Martenson's YouTube channel. You will see the same charlatans appear on every major gold pumper channel. When you're feeding off of the same dogma day after day, you're no longer able to think critically. You've been inducted into a cult. This partly explains why so many people today are in cults and they don't even realize it.
If you're telling people you can teach them the "exact skills and strategies on how to trade stocks like a professional so you can make consistent profits so you can create a consistent source of income for yourself," then you are a HUGE CON ARTIST. Adam Khoo claims you don't need to know anything about the stock market, but he can teach you how to trade like a professional. It's a typical pitch that's used to reel in a huge number of sheep. It's convenient for him to target clueless people beause just by making a presentation that yields no value he will seem to be an informed credible investor. In fact, Adam Khoo is a pure charlatan targeting naive desperate people who think they can cheat the system. I encourage you to research the huge cult portal this charlatan has created. It's a combination of Amway and Tony Robbins-like bull shit.

This video shows more of the wilder side of Christmas in Saigon. There are other areas of the city that offer a more traditional celebration but Christmas for the most part is used as an opportunity for commercialism to an even greater extent than seen in the USA. Note that there are aa decent amount of Christians in VIetnam.

If you have the money, you too can swindle millions of suckers making false claims, lying and pitching trash on YouTube. All you have to do is pay the criminally insane Jews running JewTube for advertisements and you can rapidly thrust your scams in front of an audience of hundreds of millions of suckers. JewTube also offers a solution for those cheap bastards looking to create their own scam operations on a shoe string budget. In other words, JewTube allows anyone to post their own scam videos without paying for advertisements because it profits by attaching advertisements from other scammers on these channels. So long as you don't speak on any subject matter the Jewish mafia has proclaimed as hate speech (which is often the truth which opposes the agendas of the Jewish mafia) you can post anything your heart desires on JewTube, from porn and pedophilia to scams and disinformation. You can promote illegal sex tourism, teach people how to consume illegal narcotics, make up crazy fake news stories....anything, so long as it does not reveal what's really going on because the Jewish mafia seeks to remain undetected while profiting from scams. Welcome to the world of disinformation. Welcome to the Jewish-controlled Internet, the biggest disaster in human history.
Let me begin by stating a few unwritten rules concerning how the US media industry works. Rule #1: You're NOT allowed in the media UNLESS you're Jewish OR you represent a Jewish-owned business. Why? Because the Jews control all media. And they love to discriminate against white people. Essentially, the Jewish mindset is to screw over all gentiles at every opportunity. This is a fact. And it's a foundation of Jewish culture.
The following audio, first published by Mike back in 2014 provides unique insight not found anywhere else in the world. Those who might have listened to this audio a few years ago may have avoided losing massive amounts of money. Remember folks, if you aren't listening to real experts you're definitely going to lose large amounts of money.
No intelligent person who has performed adequate research can honestly deny that the Jewish mafia controls all media and uses it as a weapon by which to deceive and defraud the public. By now I’m sure AVAIA Members and Research Clients understand how important their sources of information are. Today with the various cults and daily fake news posts scattered throughout social media, YouTube and the internet in general, it’s easy to get sucked into disinformation. And because of the prevalence of the very dangerous “DIY” (do-it-yourself) mentality, disinformation can easily become the primary component of your knowledge base as well as your sense of reality. Add to this the fact that Internet operates as a virtual confirmation bias machine due to the manner by which search engine monopoly Google has designed search algorithms and you have a huge mess of disinformation.
The following recent highlight is just one of countless reasons why our research is the best in the world and why we are undercharging for this research.

Today we see a perfect example of the "fake it till you make it" approach that seems to be so common today. This approach was first perfected by Tony Robbins and later Robert Kiyosaki. And make no mistake about it. If you're lying about yourself in order to boost your image and you're selling something based on that false image you have created, you're engaging in fraud. If you check scam portals like YouTube, Facebook and many other places online that attract scammers due to zero regulation, you will find countless individuals claiming to be rich and successful, yet they're anxious to sell you books and programs claiming to teach you how to become rich and successful. Anyone who pitches this kind of line is clearly a scam artist. The fellow in the video below (with the Backstreet Boys hairstyle) poses as a venture capitalist, yet I can tell you by his appearance alone that the guy is not a real VC. When he goes on to tell you how great of a company Uber is, you know the guy is a complete clown. He's clearly a clown claiming to be a venture capitalist. And Yahoo goes right along with this as does every other media firm. Anyone can claim to be a venture capitalist. It's quite easy to start a fund. And you don't need any money in the fund. If you are introducing someone as a venture capitalist, you're responsible for checking to make sure that person has a real fund, and either a track record or else a substantial amount of money invested in several companies for which a track record will be completed once the investments have been harvested. Just because you call yourself a venture capitalist doesn't mean you are. The same applies to hedge fund managers, analysts and consultants. If you interview a person and you introduce that person as a VC or anything else, you'd better make sure you screen the person in advance. Otherwise you can be sued for fraud. The same thing applies to the person who is making false or exaggerated claims. This is just another example of media fraud. And unfortunately, it's extremely common. The video below was first recorded nearly one year ago.
In the past I haven't posted much if anything about Charles Nenner in part because I believe it's pretty obvious that he’s not someone who should be taken seriously after hearing him speak of cycles and other nonsense. Just listen to the guy. He's a complete clown! Similar to most failures in the financial industry, Nenner aligned himself with the gold pumping syndicate many years ago as his market collapse "forecasts" failed to pan out.
He seems like a nice, well-intentioned guy. But let's face it. The guy is a moron. He's actually hilarious to listen to in my opinion. The bottom line is that this guy needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut and focus on learning from valid sources rather than spewing horse shit he soaked up from cons and idiots. This young man addresses one of the biggest problems in the world today, whereby most people actually think they can obtan valid and valuable information from the Internet instead of spending time in college. After hearing a couple of minutes of his nonsense you should already be able to guess a few of the clowns he listens to.
Note: This article remained dormant in the editing bin for several months awaiting completion. It was only completed a few of weeks after Byrne resigned from his CEO and board spot at Overstock.com as a result of statements he made about the "deep state" and other things pertaining to what appears to be an FBI investigation related to his potential involvement and/or knowledge of Russian spying. This latest development confirms what I have thought about Byrne all along; namely that he's a shady egomaniac who appears to be more concerned with extraneous nonsense as opposed to doing what's need to run a successful company. Alternatively, perhaps his misaligned focus serves as an intentional distraction away from his inabilities as a business leader. Once all investigations have been completed Byrne may turn out to be an even bigger disaster than even I had imagined. As I previously discussed in an audio discussion, I view anyone who mentions the term "deep state" is a complete moron. There is no "deep state." It's fictional nonsense. These are the same types of people who believe in ridiculous conspiracies like chem trails and pizza gate. I have some advice for anyone who fell for the "deep state" or "pizza gate" nonsense. I suggest you focus your efforts on screening your sources. At the end of the day, some of you need to stop listening to wackos and gatekeepers. But of course if you lack critical thinking skills you will never be able to detect the fakes. This "deep state" and "pizza gate" nonsense emphasizes my claim that nearly all (99%) of the "news, information, insight and commentaries" found on the internet can be categorized as complete bull shit or disinformation.
The following serves as a small sample of some of the BS that's come from Patrick Byrne and his blog, Deep Capture. Credibility and accuracy don't seem to matter much to Patrick Byrne, as he allows his paid stooge Mark Mitchell to promote the fake news, gold pumping, conspiracy blog Zero Hedge.
This is nothing special. Just a typical side street/alley in Saigon. Every alley is different and has it's own character.
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
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...
Whenever I visit night markets in Asia I much prefer the ones where most of the patrons are locals. I've learned that the best food is usually served at markets geared towards locals. Sure, the food found at these markets is more basic, but it's also less expensive. More important, the food sold at local markets is always freshly prepared and quite tasty. And of course the experience of being at a local market as opposed to a market geared towards tourists is a treat in itself. This video shows a very basic night market. It's caters to the locals in the immediate area who work in the mall and the hospital nearby. You aren't likely to see many foreigners at this market. And while this market is certainly nothing impressive, it is authentic. And I like it.

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...
This is a glimpse of a wonderful evening I shared with a very generous client who wanted to treat me to cocktails and an amazing dinner in the private room of one of Siagon’s best sky bars.
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.

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 following video was first released back in 2014. It represents a quick and unscripted analysis of the fake news BS artists featured on Hunter's fake news, fear mongering JewTube channel. First, I want you to spend some time to look at each guest Hunter has had on his fake news JT channel. You might be interested to know that nearly every single person Hunter (who is himself Jewish) has interviewed happens to be Jewish. Next, it's important to consider how or why this might be the case. With Jewish individuals comprising a mere 2% of the U.S. population, the fact that (at least) 99% of his guests are Jewish is quite strange. In fact, it’s statistically impossible for this to happen by random chance. Therefore, we must consider whether Hunter seeks only to feature Jewish individuals on his fake news channel, or whether Jewish individuals comprise the vast majority of gold pumping liars, fear-mongering broken clock idiots and scam artists. I'll let you think about that and come to your own conclusions. It should also be noted that Hunter often makes false claims about the clowns he interviews, including lying about and/or cherry picking their past statements and predictions in order to make them seem credible and reliable. No one with a decent memory and a normal functioning brain would be fooled by his predictable spins on the truth. That gives you a rough idea about his audience. For instance, when Hunter interviews Martin Armstrong he always points out how Armstrong is sought out by fund managers and so forth, and that he has been right about most things. Of course this is utter nonsense. Martin Armstrong is an uneducated idiot, liar and former Ponzi scheme criminal. He constantly dances around questions looking for ways to tell you how important (he wants you to think) he is. And let’s not forget that he started a Ponzi scheme in order to cover-up for massive losses he sustained while trading commodities. Hence, he’s a failed trader. It should be obvious that no sane investor would even listen to what the man has to say. Hunter also claims Peter Schiff, Jim Rickards and many other broken clock, fear-mongering, gold-pumping clowns have been right in most of their predictions. I have previously demonstrated in hundreds of videos and articles this is not even remotely true. These guys have some or the worst track records I have ever seen. Moreover, Rickards is one of the biggest BS artists, liars and charlatans in the entire gold-pumping, fear mongering syndicate. And Peter Schiff has turned into a laughing stock. The constant litany of false claims made by Hunter about his various Jewish guests is intentional. The purpose is to cause his uneducated nut job audience to believe the ridiculous claims made by these charlatans. Today, many people are simply either too lazy or too stupid to assess an individual's credibility or to even determine whether or not they have a decent track record. As a result, they most often rely on what others on the internet claim about these hucksters.
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...

Some of you might have heard the name Rick Rule since he's a colleague of our friend Eric Sprott. Rick works at the US division of Sprott Inc. (perhaps the name has changed since the parent company has gone through at least one reorg over the past few years). As you might recall, I've previously exposed Eric Sprott and his shenanigans.
When the Jewish mafia scam known as Adsense tags ads to content located on one of its sister scam portals such as YouTube, it means you are paying higher prices for toothpaste, toilet paper, food and countless other items. In this manner the Jewish mafia is forcing you to support pornography against your will when you buy consumer items that you must have. This is massive fraud. Feel free to check the comments posted on the video if you do not believe most of the views were from sick sexual deviants. Someone needs to tell this shameless tramp to GET A FUCKING JOB.

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 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...

The following audio commentary was originally created in 2016. The charts below were provided to accompany the presentation.
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.
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.

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...
