At some point you are likely to regret…not buying a security after watching it continue to move up day after day; selling a security prematurely as you watch it continue to climb higher, or even soar to new highs; failing to sell a security only after it has collapsed in price; or even staying out of the stock market for a period of time only to see it soar.   Even the best investors make mistakes and have regrets. In fact, the best investors make many more mistakes more than you might think because the media most often focuses on how great and wise they are rather than what they have done wrong.  

For those of you who are new to AVA Investment Analytics, we advise you to take the opportunity to get up to speed on things. Below is a brief list of key articles written by Stathis over the pas...

My advice is to find some people who you trust; those with proven track records, those who are not tied to the television shows. Figure it out. You are only going to be misled by the mainstream media. They will only come clean after it is too late, fooling you into thinking they actually warned you in a timely manner. But as you can see, this is simply not a reflection of reality. That is how the dotcom charade worked and that is how this one if playing out. It’s game that is played. Stop being played and become a player.

Continuing from Part 1 Contrary to the claim that Federated’s Prudent Bear Fund holds more short than long stock positions, if you check the current top holdings, you won't see a single short position.  Upon closer examination, you will note that nine of the top ten holdings consist of precious metals mining stocks; so much for diversification. BUT, the total percent of these nine positions comes to less than 3% of the portfolio.

Have you ever wondered why most people get screwed in the stock market? Most who lose their ass in the stock market rarely blame the real culprits. So who are the real culprits? Well, if you pay attention to the financial media, then you have your answer.

Do you remember all of the forecasts and debates from the various jug heads in the media regarding when the Fed would raise interest rates in 2016? As you might recall, this circus show was even more ridiculous than the one that took place in 2015. The interest rate kosher drama of 2016 even featured absurd "predictions" and "forecasts" from several top Fed officials. For both 2015 and 2016, the overwhelming theme surrounding interest rate forecasts by the various "geniuses" promoted by the media was constant flip flopping after missing the mark over and over again. In contrast, Mike Stathis pointed to a single 25 basis point rate hike for 2015 and 2016 early on when everyone else was forecasting three, four and even more rate hikes each year. Furthermore, as our research cl......

For several years we have been showing how the media’s so-called “experts” are at best, nothing more than broken clock contrarian indicators. At worst they are complete con artists. Mike Stathis has been the first and still only financial professional in the world to have exposed this media scam. Stathis has demonstrated exhaustively how the Jewish-controlled media intentionally airs these clowns in order to command higher prices from advertisers. By positioning broken clocks and idiots as experts, the audience ends up losing so much money they they eventually run in desperation to the advertisers (most of which are financial firms). This conclusion has been presented in the endless articles, audios and videos published by Stathis for several years. His work on...

Below is the exact (unedited) email that was sent to the SEC by Mike Stathis on November 28, 2023. This email was written "on the fly" so it may not convey Mike's entire message and/or may not convey it in the detail he would prefer. Therefore, this email might serve as a primer for a more in-depth discussion in the future.  There are numerous examples of false statements having been made by Musk.   Because Musk is the CEO of Tesla, it's the SEC's job to find these statements/claims and execute successful proceedings leading to civil and perhaps even criminal penalties working with the DOJ.   So far, the SEC has failed (possibly intentionally) to hold Musk accountable for his 2018 tweets about taking TSLA private.   Musk’s tweets represented a clear vio......

Now, if you have not already read this hatchet job on John Williams, I want to encourage you to do so. After reading it, hopefully you will understand how Williams and the rest of these gold bug clowns have been lying to you.

Why doesn't the media simply provide valuable insight? Wouldn't that be a more effective and more profiable way to boost viewership and thus ad revenues?  Have you ever wondered why, after years of being wrong on just about everything, some people still think clowns like Peter Schiff, Harry Dent, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Jim Rickards and the rest of the broken clock doomsday clan positioned by the media as legitimate sources of economic and investment insight? Over the years I have sought to document the horrendous track records of the most commonly promoted clowns in the financial media in order to warn investors that the financial media cannot be trusted and has been specifically designed to mislead its audience. I have dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort exposing t...

In the previous part of this article we saw how what Buffett invests in doesn’t matter to you. Let’s look at an example how the media uses the Buffett name to make money. I’d like to direct your attention to a story by Reuters, published on August 22, 2008. “Buffett Sees Weak Economy Until 2009   Surely this is no news. Let’s see now. It’s the end of August, so there are four months left until 2009. A person would have to be a complete fool to think the economy would get better prior to 2009. But the fact is that the investment world consists of a lot of fools who have been brainwashed by the media.

Can Anyone Match Stathis' Track Record and Insights?  The answer to that question is a definitive NO.   Mike Stathis is the top investment mind in the world. And we stand by that claim. See here for some evidence.  Moreover, we are willing to back this claim by a $1 million guarantee. 

Gold bugs and dealers alike have pumped out so many misconceptions and flat out lies about gold, silver, and the economy that it would be impossible for me to set the story straight in a single article; that's saying a lot considering the fact that my articles tend to be rather lengthy. However, I have previously written several articles that address the majority of the most common of these myths and lies (check the end of this article for a partial list). If you have been sucked into the vortex of lies from these charlatans, you could stand to lose a HUGE amount of money over the next several years as the gold bull market comes to an end.  And if you really think gold will never again fall below $1000 as Marc Faber the gold-pumping clown has "guaranteed," I regret...

Recently the financial media has been issuing all kinds of statements about the emerging markets in order to create drama and panic.  Does this behavior seem familiar? The financial media is always trying to create some kind of smoke and mirrors drama to get suckers hooked into their programming content so they can sell ads.

In past issues of this publication we have discussed numerous variables we look at when forecasting the market. Our work in market forecasting is but one component of the design and implementation of a prudent investment strategy.

Today we look at the promotion of fear-mongering con man Doug Casey by the fake news blog known as Zero Hedge.  This exercise is being performed in order to highlight two important learn points pertaining to media deception and fraud. Before I begin, keep in mind that Casey hasn't written anything for years. His team of copywriting cons do all of the writing for him.  By focusing on Zero Hedge we will demonstrate the most common mechanism by which fake news and scams are now being disseminated on the internet. And by focusing on the piece from Doug Casey published by Zero Hedge, we will demonstrate the severity of the financial/investment related fake news and scams that continue to flood the internet.    As a reminder, I exposed Zero Hedge many years ago. Fo...

Before I begin, I will tell you this with complete confidence. If you see anyone in the media frequently, you won’t even need to waste your time checking to determine whether you can trust them because I will personally guarantee you that they either have no credibility, or else blowing hot air.

As promised, this is the first of a 3-part video series exposing Chris Duane.
