You need to ask the media why they have banned Mike Stathis. There is no one in the world who can match his track record on the economic collapse. All of his other accurate forecasts aside, there was no one in the world who predicted in a book that the Dow could collapse to 6000, but who also told people to buy at 6500 in March. He predicted (in his 2006 book) that Fannie and Freddie would be bailed out, and so much more.
This link contains Mike Stathis' track record on the economic collapse.
Spend some time reading the insights of Mike Stathis, from his articles to his landmark books, and you will see why others claiming to be experts with terrible track records are featured contributors to the biggest media publications and investment websites, all while Stathis has been banned. They do NOT want you to be exposed to valuable insights. You need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Don't look at celebrity status. We have Paris Hilton for that. If you are an investor, you need to look at track records. You need to very carefully examine the track record of every person you decide to follow. You need to avoid those with agendas. Thereafter, you will realize it's all a big game designed to mislead you, to screw you, to take your money. Mike Stathis is the ONLY real expert on YOUR SIDE.
When you see others boasting how they have been featured in the media, like CNBC or FBN, or financial websites like thestreet.com, the businessinsider, The Huffington Post, or print media like the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, and so on, you had better run like Hell because that tells you whose side they are on and how useless they are to YOU. If you can't see that I suggest you research the track records of your favorite financial media celebrity. They are there for a good reason and it's to make sure you get hosed either through useless insight due to their ignorance, or through scare tactics or hype as a way to pitch their investments or products to you. Either way, if you pay attention to the media for investment or economic insights, I will GUARANTEE you will get screwed.
The media won't let real experts who are commiited to providing you with valuable insight in their club because that would make it more difficult for their financial sponsors (Wall Street and corporate America) to take your money. This is the way things work so I suggest you get up to speed; that is, if you want to finally end the cycle of investment losses and lies.
The financial media is lying to you for a reason. They are Wall Street's client. Wall Street spends billions of dollars buying ads and commercials. And if the media delvered timely, accurate insights, Wall Street would be unable to take your money.
That is why the media hand-picks hacks and positions them as experts, but they are almost never real experts. Their track records verify that. On the (very) rare occassion the financial media actually airs real experts, they are there to manipulate the sheep. Consider the case of Warren Buffet for instance.
If you pay attention to print and broadcast media you are being fooled. If you have not learned that by now, you probably never will. We advise you to read the articles Mike Stathis has written on media deception so you can understand the tricks they use to fool you.
I've read and heard countless investors who have been thinking the banks were a "good deal" since the first big market sell off in January 2008. Since then many are down another 60% - some even more.
Every month I see new investors looking to pick up a "bargain" in the financials without realizing the only bargains have been short positions. Most investors have been programmed by the financial media to always buy stocks when they go down because "in the long-term they are a great value."
Well I don't know about you, but long-term to me means at least 20 years. And anyone who considers long-term any shorter than that needs to consider these sobering facts:
Since making its highs in March 2008, the Nasdaq is still down by over 55%; that's going on 8 years folks. In the 'best of scenarios' I cannot see those highs being tested for at least another 8 years.
Since making its highs in 1990, the Nikkei is still down more than 65%. Next year will mark 20 years since the Nikkei approached 40,000.
Finally, since making its highs in 1999, the Dow is now by about 3% after 9 years. Most likely the Dow will go considerably lower
These are things to consider when buying stocks in general. But when we are talking about the biggest banking crisis ever, things look much worse. The financials continue to write down assets and take losses. And they still have no idea how large the total losses will be. Finally, they continue to sell off assets and raise capital using debt, and more so by issuing new equity.
Now, what do you think is going to happen to say, Citigroup (C) once it realizes all its losses?
Next, consider how the future of its ability to deliver earnings after selling off assets.
Finally, consider what the shareholder dilution will do to per share earnings. Yet, Citigroup is in much better shape than most of the other banks.
Before it's all said and done you should expect to see most of the financials trading in the teens, some the single digits (as we already see). As for Goldman Sachs (GS), I'm betting it will break down well below $100 before it's all said and done.
When you take huge losses, you can recover as long as you have strong assets to deliver earnings. But when you are selling off a good portion of these assets your ability to deliver earnings will be diluted. These dilutions are even more severe after you have issued more shares.
If you're determined to bottom-fish, you need to contend with the high possibility that things are going lower. And the trip back up is going to be slow and nerve-racking.
Those of you who are looking for a bottom need to stick with stocks that are not distressed and have already declined due to other issues, such as the drug makers. Medicare Part D combined with the retirement of up to 80 million boomers will position these stocks for at least a decent recovery. And in the meantime you can collect the huge dividends. My top pick for this strategy is Pfizer (PFE). While a large market sell off could take it down another 2 points, the current dividend yield of over 7% is quite a deal. And note that in its 41-year history of being listed on public exchanges, it has always increased the dividend.
In conclusion, with rare exception, I do not envision any point in time when I will buy the financials hoping for a long-term recovery. In the best of scenarios, the only way they will be able to mount a reasonable earnings rebound will be through share buybacks or reverse splits. But that is unlikely to happen anytime soon if ever.
Consider that Citigroup still has not realized the need to eliminate its dividend completely. It would rather sell off revenue-generating assets to raise cash like the one announced today in order to appease nervous shareholders.
But with 5.25 billion shares outstanding and an annual dividend of $1.28, this $7 billion ($4 billion post-tax) asset sale only allows them to continue dividend payments for one year. In contrast, they have lost a powerful retail presence in France, and all of the future earnings it would have brought.
These banks need to wake up and start managing their business in crisis mode rather than the irresponsible mindset that got them where they are today.
So if you think the banks will be a great buy when they do bottom, you should reconsider. Your money can be invested elsewhere with much lower risk and higher returns.
And while inflation is sure to eat away at any cash, at least you don't risk losing it all.
