The main stars of America's financial trash TV are broken clocks and contrarian indicators who deliver the same sales pitch day after day, week after week, year after year. That is what salesmen do after all.

Printing more money won't solve America’s problems; quite the opposite. It's going to damage the economy further. And these effects will be lasting. You will see them soon. At the very least, we...

I've been working on a writeup of Munger's Alibaba (BABA) blunder for a couple weeks. Once the article is released you're going to learn a great deal of things. For now, I'll leave you with a brief introduction as well as a few annotated images.  

Recently, the financial media featured 16-year old Rachelle Fox, apparently a teen actress, but not for her acting ability. Are you ready? The bought-off criminal media featured her because she likes to "day trade." Clearly, this type of promotion pleased online brokerage firms.

Perhaps you remember the Jewish con, Tai Lopez. That's right. I said Jewish. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have never seen any group of people possessing such a high affinity for scams than Jews. If a person is running a con or scam, you should ALWAYS suspect that they are Jewish until proven otherwise. That should encourage you to do a check into the person to see in fact whether they are Jewish. Now that does NOT imply that all Jewish people are scammers. It means that the chances that they are scammers is VERY high. This is NOT opinion. It's based on fact.

I  happened to have the TV  on the other day while eating dinner. I  wasn't  paying attention,  but when I heard this distinctively nasal,  monotone annoying voice, I  knew who it was.  So I wanted to see what this clown was up to. Apparently, Ben Stein did a commercial with Shaq for Comcast.  In it, Stein is identified as an economist. 

If I were to list the number of websites that have banned me or ignored me for the purpose of distancing themselves from the "good cop," as bad cops always do, the list would be into the thousands.

Last week, Forbes published an article discussing cities across the U.S. "where the recession is ending."   Let me begin in a tone that many of you have come to expect. The author was intentionally lying as an attempt to drum up consumer confidence, or else it was written by a complete idiot with absolutely no understanding of what is going on; perhaps a combination of the two. 

Continuing from Part 1 Why I Became Cautious on Gold Over the past couple of years as gold pricing soared, I began turning much more cautious as I recognized the increasing wave of manipulation that was building. This type of manipulation in gold pricing is not something you are likely to hear about other than the times I have discussed it. In fact, when the topic of gold manipulation arises, gold bugs and other charlatans speak of manipulation by Wall Street and central banks. This is just one excuse they make when gold pricing stalls or sells off. What they fail to recognize is that the manipulation of gold pricing by central banks (notably the Federal Reserve and Bank of England) occurs so regularly that it has become an accepted component of gold price volatility.  T...

In August 2009, Mike Stathis posted a reward for the first person who could prove that there was a financial professional that could match his track record before, during and after the economic collapse.  We officially launched this reward or challenge in 2011. 

(see related audio and video below)       Copyediting scams like the one above featuring Jim Rickards (published by Porter Stansberry and Agora Financial) are the types of nonsense you should think of when someone mentions the Money Show. A while back I released a piece on the Money Show. See Money Show Con Men As you might recall, I discussed my conclusion that the Money Show serves as the largest collection of the biggest losers and con men in the world today.   Most of the sheep that attend the Money Show are elderly. Thus, the Money Show is exploiting senior citizens. To continue with this article and to watch the video, please sign into your account.

I have said this is the past many times, and now I am going to say it with a bit more conviction. If you really believe there are two distinct political parties in America, you are a complete fool. Those of you who have fallen for Obama’s “American Idol” presidency, with all of the bells and whistles one would expect from a Hollywood production are just as ignorant as those who believe the lies and misinformation from talking head idiots like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Levine, Sean Hannity, and the rest of that idiotic neo-con, racist crew who piggybacks onto their propaganda as a way to profit – you know, like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter – some of the bigger idiots on the airwaves.   These clowns are all part of the political media...

Previously, I discussed the fact that what Warren Buffett invests in doesn’t matter to you. Then I followed up by explaining how the media uses Buffett to make money. Here, I complete the lesson by showing you how Buffett uses the media to cash in. Similar to Britney Spears and other “celebrities,” Buffett also benefits from Hollywood antics. You see, Buffett has been made into a financial celebrity, just as Alan Greenspan and many others have. Media exposure is just as good for Britney’s record sales as it is for shares of Berkshire Hathaway. It’s a two-way street of profits. The media creates big name financial celebrities in order to draw a big audience. A big audience drives big ad revenues. And financial celebrities like Buffett benefit because inv...

UPDATED Note on March 9, 2018: As I have previously demonstrated, the so-called "experts" in the financial media are little more than professional marketers who promote a ridiculous doomsday narrative as a means by which to lure suckers into buying their books. The dirty secret is that most of them make the majority of their income from book sales (Peter Schiff, Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers, Harry Dent).  This alone is deceptive and could be considered fraud because the media positions these clowns as analysts, although they are actually marketing professionals, public speakers and authors (although I can assure you not a single one of these clowns has written any of their books). Remember, guys who spend the majority of their time being interviewed, giving speeches and writi...

A few years ago, we pointed out that the Recommended Securities List created and managed by MIke Stathis, the chief strategist and analyst of AVA Investment Analytics, included the best performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  The stock was McDonalds (MCD).  And it returned 31% in 2011. Since then, Mike has successfully navigated research clients in and out of MCD, enabling significant reductions in the total cost basis of the stock. Did You Own the BEST PERFORMING Stock in 2011?
