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. 

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...

(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...

As many of you know, the media black-balled me and continues to today for a very good reason. They are protecting the agendas of their financial sponsors – the financial industry and corporate America, despite the fact that there are not even five individuals who collectively can match my track record. In the future, I will continue to provide examples of just how reckless the media hacks are. It should be a criminal offense for the media to air some of these guys, especially when the media positions them as experts.   

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.

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...

I ran across a link to an article from Forbes and I got so upset I wanted to share it with you so you could see how low the financial media stoops to brainwash people, creating a new generation of sheep, while promoting their financial sponsors.    The reason why I became so upset at this advertisement (disguised as an article) is because it targets kids and brainwashes parents to think that kids should be spending their online time "more wisely" by learning about investments.    "Your children already spend way too much time on the Web. Why not start them on some fund Web sites that teach them sound investment principals."    Yea! Great idea!  NOT.   What a manipulative, dirty, filthy ad. The "author" is such a HACK.

The article is of just one more of the thousands that the financial media continues to churn out about what a great investor Warren Buffett is. 

Most Americans have been fooled into thinking one party has the solutions to the nation’s problems, when the facts paint a much different picture. You need to understand that both parties are the same. As history shows, you get the same result regardless who resides over the White House and Congress.

Gold Bugs and Conspiracy Nuts... There are so many silly statements being made by gold bugs that it would take me a very long time to debunk them all. Most of them are not even worth my time to debunk, as they are so ridiculous. Perhaps the most ludicrous thing about these gold bugs is that they accept anything they read or hear about gold without bothering to analyze the accuracy of the claims, as long as it favors higher prices for gold and silver. Such individuals lack the ability to understand and control their psyche. Without this ability, investors stand to lose.

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.

Meredith Whitney is back after nearly ten years of hiding from the public eye.  Most of you probably don't know or even remember Whitney.  She became one the financial media's so-called experts after making a basic prediction in October 2007 that Citigroup would need to cut its dividend. Her reasoning was based on the notion that the bank's profits would not be able to cover the dividend.   Given that she was referring to the common stock, it's important to note that dividend cuts are quite common and do not necessarily point to deep issues within the firm.  At the time Whitney was working as a banking analyst for Oppenheimer.  From this very basic prediction by Whitney, the media later credited her as having predicted the collapse of the banks during t......

Some readers have made remarks here and there, like "yes we know the media is full of ****."   Well, amazing as it seems (to me) after writing extensively about the topic, many people still don't seem to get the message. The message is not only that the media is filled with liars and idiots, all hand-selected specifically to exploit its audience for the benefit of its financial sponsors, BUT ALSO that you must not allow this to continue. You must fight back. I would have thought people would have done something about it, like contact them non-stop and demand an end to the hacks, liars and clowns, all of which have terrible track records. Obviously, the fewer people who know about this site, the smaller the force to counter the media.

Today marks the three-year anniversary since the market bottomed on March 9, 2009. Since that time, the market is up by around 100%.

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.
