Even Dr. Phil Gets in on the Action And we can’t forget Dr. Phil; the hick who isn’t even a real doctor. He just plays one on TV. He has a Ph.D. in psychology, not an M.D. in psychiatry.

I advise investors to use this rally in the financials to your benefit. If you took recent long positions in the financials, you might consider selling soon.  More experienced and aggressive investors might start looking to take short positions soon.  This market is very momentum-driven so you’ll want to wait for signs of a decline before going short. No doubt, the Fed’s bailout plan for Fannie and Freddie has sparked this rally, but it’s not a rally of substance, just misguided confidence.

Today, I'd like to show you another example illustrating the fact that the financial media is always useless and often dangerous for your investments. Today I've managed to accomplish this task by posting two annotated images below.   Before you read my brief analysis contained in the two images, I'd like you to first read the raw post (the first image below) as an exercise. Although I've already prompted you to the fact that the post is complete garbage, I'd like you to pretend you've come across the article (advertisement) just like any other financial news piece.   And then I want you to ask yourself whether or not you would have come up with the commentary I wrote (be honest).

As the rumors of Sears' (SHLD) announcement of bankruptcy proceedings build, it's a good time to reflect on the past. Below is a blast from the past whereby Mike Stathis not only predicted an eventual bankruptcy for Sears years in advance, he actually "guaranteed" it would happen.    Those of you who have been following Mr. Stathis for some time probably also recall that he made the same guarantee regarding RadioShack (RSH) several years before it's bankrutcy.  He's also gone on record as early as 2011 predicting bankruptcy for JC Penny (JCP) during a time when "genius" fund managers such as George Soros, Bill Ackman and Kyle Bass were stockpiling millions of shares. According to Mr. Stathis "Only a fool would have bought Sears, RadioShack or JCPenny anytime afte...

Now we come to the Fannie/Freddie bailout. This is certainly a true bailout; not because taxpayers are on the hook for potentially $5.3 trillion, but because there was a moral hazard established once these formerly government agencies were transformed into publicly traded companies, knowing that if they screwed up they would be bailed out. I’m sick and tired of hearing these excuses by Washington that this company and that is “too big to fail.”  Listen you crooks, if they’re too damn big to fail, they need to be government run to begin with.   Now, the auto industry is looking for their bailout, with 50 billion dollars in low-interest “loans” from Washington. They are using the excuse that they need the money to produce more fuel effici...

Jim Cramer has been manipulating securities and misleading the sheep who watch CNBC for many years. Yet, no one calls him out on his securities manipulation or horrendous calls, so you shouldn't expect anyone to point out the various levels of fraud that constantly show up on the scam network, CNBC.   Recommended background reading: Why CNBC Viewership Is Collapsing The Truth about Jim Cramer and CNBC (Part 1) You Will Lose Your Ass If You Listen To The Media Selling You With Baseball Legends And The Buffett Name Ron Insana 3-time Loser UPDATE To Hack Of The Day: Compliments Of Thestreet.com And Yahoo!

Originally Published on May 11, 2012 (May 2012 Dividend Gems)   As we enter a new cycle of global macroeconomic risk, the U.S. stock market continues to resist being pulled into the euro zone vortex. Despite having recently declined to a low of 12,689, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has since rallied past 13,350, only to face another retracement. It is now poised to experience a more sizable retracement. While the S&P 500 has faced a similar series of volatile movements, it maintains a technically weaker outlook in coming days/weeks. All things considered, thus far the U.S. market has remained fairly bullish due to continued earnings strength. However, earnings momentum is fading. During the early part of earnings season about 80% of companies beat consensus estimates. As of...

Have you ever wondered why most people get screwed in the stock market?

Robert Kiyosaki continues to push the limits of stupidity.  Kiyosaki's latest pitch shows how confident he is that his cult members are brainless idiots.  His message is basically that "If you buy my board game you will become much smarter."  You can't make this stuff up. Ridiculous shit like this is only possible from career con artists like Kiyosaki.  Remember, this is a guy who claims he's a great source of business and investment advice even though he has filed for bankruptcy several times. As well, he has a long history of terrible investment advice while making unverified claims. But we cannot forget that Kiyosaki also advises you not to go to college. His lines get even more crazy. For instance, he also claims that "jobs are for losers."  As...

Hopefully, after having read Part 1 and Part 2, you now realize that gold certainly isn’t a hedge against inflation; quite the opposite. Accordingly, a buy-and-hold approach is the worst possible investment strategy for the use of gold; that is, unless you happen to get in at during the early stages of a gold bull market.   Similar to deflationary periods, major crises are short-term events. In contrast, modest inflation is a universal law. Therefore, gold should only be bought during times of crisis (ideally before). BUT you should NOT hold gold indefinitely.  You need to trade it like major financial institutions do.  Otherwise you could get crushed (depending upon where along the spike you bought it).  Remember, the price of gold is ONLY driven by supply-d...

I have documented some of Max Keiser's biggest scams since the financial crisis as a way to warn those who would be his suckers. In this article, I present a brief review of some of these scams followed by his latest attempt to fool those who are foolish enough to think they will receive accurate reporting from him and RT.   REMEMBER, birds of the same feather ALWAYS FLOCK TOGETHER.

For nearly three years we have been discussing important global macroeconomic trends in order to assess the progress and risks of what has been labeled a global economic “recovery.” The illusion accounting for these improvements was created by a global release of trillions of dollars. One of the most prominent characteristics of this “recovery” is that it has been lop-sided, with advanced nations showing very little progress on many fronts. While Australia and Canada have fared relatively well, the U.S., U.K., Japan and Europe have continued to stall, despite claims made by officials and the media that a recovery is in progress. In contrast, emerging nations have performed particularly well. Asia and much of Latin America experienced a recession of short duration. Brazil spent the...

(Updated on December 14, 2010) I hate to waste time on useless scumbag liars and profiteers. However, if you want to be a great investor, you have to be able to recognize trash in order to avoid it. I want to alert you to the latest scam being led by the biggest opportunities, liars and censoring scumbags in the world today. As a manner by which to boost their own swollen bank accounts, disinfo agents Alex Jones and Max Keiser have been promoting a campaign get sheep across the globe to buy silver with the (ridiculous) intent to crush JP Morgan. Their reasoning is as follows. Since the bank has a large short position in silver, if people buy it in hoards it will drive up the price causing them to sell at a big loss. Furthermore, since JP Morgan's short position is (alleged...

Below we have created a video demonstrating how once again, Mike Stathis has accurately nailed the trade in gold and silver. Remember, physical gold and silver is for SUCKERS. The ONLY people who will make money from physical gold and silver are the dealers. This is why they have created a huge wave of lies. The smart money trades the precious metals ETFs. They are very liquid and they have very low fees, unlike the situation with physical precious metals.  If you want to elevate your investment IQ to that of a REAL investor instead of being taken for a fool by con men, subscribe to our research today, or you can begin as a Member. The con men are relying on you to remain clueless because this is how they make money. Please keep in mind that we do NOT always notify t......

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.
