Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how critical it is to know the credibility and reliability of the sources they choose to follow.
Instead of checking credentials and track records, they go by the number of likes, fake comments, fake reviews, and hearsay from people they have no idea about.
Those who are unfamiliar with me can find out more about my credentials, my background, as well as my investment research track record here, here, and here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been exposing the fraudulent precious metals pumping scene for more than a decade.
I am not only the world's foremost authority on these frauds, I'm also one of the world's most accurate gold and silver price forecasters.
One reason for my success in forecasting the price of gold and silver is due to the fact that I have no financial interest in precious metals.
I don't sell precious metals, I don't sell precious metals ads and I don't get paid to pump "junior miner" penny stock scams so that gold pumping king pins can engage in frontrunning.
Because I have achieved the highest degree of credibility as a professional investment analyst and strategist, precious metals fraudsters fear me. They don't want their cult to hear anything I have to say about gold, silver or anything else because the truth would ruin their scheme to manipulate and exploit their cult.
Remember, every single one of these precious metals pumpers has a miserable track record because they aren't analysts. They are pure pumpers. And they are in the business of profiting off selling precious metals or getting paid to promote precious metals.
Again, I do not sell precious metals, advertisements, stocks or any other types of investments. What I sell is cutting-edge investment research. My research is based on my experience, skills, and insights. And my research isn't going to be worth much if I'm frequently wrong.
Fortunately, I'm not wrong as often as many of my peers in the financial industry.
I am confident that I have the best overall investment forecasting and analysis track record in the world since 2006.
And I have been the only person in world history (as far as I am aware) who has backed this claim with money.
These fraudsters fear me because I have all the facts and I present the truth about gold and silver. Because the truth is not convenient for their business of selling gold and silver, they want to avoid me at all costs. And they have been doing that for more than a decade.
There's not a single one of their claims about gold, silver, the economy or stock market that can stand up to the truth. I've debunked them all.
These fraudsters fear me so much they won't dare mention my name. And in the rare instance that one of the gold/silver cult members asks their pumping ring leader about me, they respond by making up lies as a way to defame me in order to distract from the issue at hand. Defaming me cannot change the facts I have stated about gold.
It's simple. Ask these ring leaders to prove me wrong. And ask them to do so in my presence (on a neutral platform) so I can debunk their word games and manipulative word salad.
They will NOT EVER DO IT.
GUARANTEED.
I have been challenging them for a over decade and they run and hide like cowards because this enables them to keep ripping off people.
The worst thing they could do is to allow me to confront them because I would expose the truth and their business of selling gold and silver would collapse quite fast. They know this and that's why they avoid me like the plague.
These gold-pumping frauds want to profit from you by convincing you to waste your money on gold instead of investing it in the stock market.
Take a look at the two charts I have posted below and you will see that gold is a terrible investment.
And remember, when you buy stocks you are buying part ownership in real companies; businesses that generate cash flows and earn profits (some newer high tech companies are not profitable but become profitable later on).
This makes stocks a productive asset because they represent ownership in the underlying business.
In contrast, gold and silver are nonproductive assets. They don't generate cash flows so neither provides you with an income.
Other than buying jewelry, gold and silver are something to put your money into if you have primative thinking.
Ask yourself why locals in Asia buy gold.
Do you realize that Asian schools don't even teach critical thinking?
Need I say more?
If you want to follow what the Chinese and Indians are doing then I suppose you should get rid of your toilet and dig a hole in the ground to use when you need to defecate because the majority of Chinese and Indians still do not have western style toilets. At best, most use "squatters" which consist of a hole in the ground.
Think about that.
Let's take a look at the performance of gold since February 1915 (the furthest back this source has reliable data) through current data, or April 2023.

Next, let's compare the performance of gold over the same time span with that of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
As you can appreciate, the Dow soared by more than six times that of gold.

Gold bugs are always talking about how the dollar's value is being "inflated" away. They contend that gold offers an excellent way to protect against this.
But the fact is that NO ONE stashes their dollars under their mattress for decades.
People put their money in banks which pay interest, they buy real estate, which appreciates in value, they invest in their business, and most notably they invest in the stock market.
So let's compare the inflation-adjusted performance of gold over the same time span with that of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
As you can appreciate, the Dow soared by more than sixty times that of gold.
How do you think you buy stocks in the Dow?
You use dollars.
