+ AVA Investment Analytics Newsletter

Who subscribes to the AVAIA newsletter?  Individual investors, financial advisers, hedge funds, endowments, and pension plans seeking the unique insights from the world's leading expert on the economic collapse.  Stathis' insights are so revealing he has been banned by the US media, which serves the interests of Wall Street. He has also been banned by the perpetual doomers, who pump gold with deceit. His track record is unprecedented. And we have NO AGENDAS. 

We have subscribers all across the USA and Canada, but also in Japan, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, and the Russian Federation.  The list is growing daily, as more investors find out about Mike Stathis.

This newsletter is NOT for everyone. It is only for those who wish to advance their investment knowledge, skills and savvy. That means you will have to hard work to utilize our research.  If you are lazy, if you want people to tell you what and when to buy and sell, if you do not wish to advance your skills, DO NOT SUBSCRIBE.  Please make certain you understand what this newsletter provides before you subscribe because we do NOT provide refunds. 

 

If you want to become a great investor while benefiting from the insights of the leading expert in the collapse and one of the leading investment minds today, you should sign up for our investment newsletter.

If you are looking for easy money, please do NOT subscribe. There is NO easy money. There is NO free lunch. Investing successfully and consistently requires a lot of hard work and commitment.

If you are NOT willing to put in a lot of work, please do NOT subscribe.

If you watch CNBC, FOX and read content from those who follow this trash, or if you read the WSJ, IBD, Barron's and the countless useless financial magazines, you are not likely to benefit from this service.

Our investment newsletter should be thought of as an educational process; one that you will not find anywhere else in the world. Your path towards becoming a great investor is a process that will depend in large part on how much you are willing to put into your personal development. Along the way, we will guide you through the market, showing you unique insights and strategies. Mr. Stathis will share with you what he is doing with his own personal investment account. You will receive his legendary market forecasts, unrivaled anywhere in the world, and much more. 

You WILL make money. You WILL learn how to protect what you have. You WILL become a much better investor.

The more effort you put into the guidance we provide, the more you will benefit. The longer you subscribe, the better you will become because in addition to providing you with an analysis of the economy, market, and securities, we teach you how to understand things better. Thus, our newsletter should also be viewed as a real-time educational course. We don't just want to show you good investments or alert you of risk, we also want to show you how to become a better investor. No other investment newsletter does this. Why? Because they want you to stay dependent on them for life, using them as a crutch without helping to make you better, similar to the pharmaceutical industry.

Each monthly newsletter is approximately 40-50pp.

Special reports are sent out on occassion between issues.

You should note that we do not consider this to be a commercial website or a commercial newsletter. We do NOT have a huge staff of marketers and customer support reps for a good reason. We provide research and we want it to be affordible to everyone who wants to be freed from the depency of Wall Street, the media, and associated hacks. The only way we can do this is to keep operating costs at a minimum. Therefore, you should not expect to have every issue you have resolved immediately.  But you should expect to receive the highest quality research and investment education available. That is what we strive to provide.

Only register as a Client if you intend to purchase the newsletter service.  If you want email notifications when new articles are posted you can signup for alerts or as a member (which allows you access to the forum), but do not sign up for both unless you want duplicate email alerts.

Please do not send personal emails to Mr. Stathis. Email inquiries are intended for paid clients having issues and from prospective clients about the newsletter, customized research or trading assistance.  If you have a comment, please submit it in the comments section or the forum.

+ Mike Stathis' Track Record

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.

Key Publications to get You Up to Speed

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 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 qualified TRUE 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 media whore. 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. 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.

The Rise and Fall of Bill Miller

From 1991 through 2005, Legg Mason’s Bill Miller was the only mutual fund manager to have beaten the S&P 500 Index each year for that 15-year period. That should have been a warning sign alone. Instead, everyone called him a genius. I suppose no one read When Genius Failed.
 
 
 
 
 
It turns out that Miller was no more of a genius than any of the hacks on CNBC. Now Miller’s fund is in the bottom quintile in 1, 3, 5 and 10-year performance.
 
Miller did little more than ride the coat tails of the bull market of the 1990s, while exposing investors in his funds to style drift and excessive risk. For many years, his reckless approach worked; that is until reality hit.
 
As many of you know, I actually discussed Miller's style drift and excessive risk-taking in America's Financial Apocalypse (2006 version).  If investors in Miller's fund had only read my warnings. Oh well, I did my part to help. You might want to ask why no one else did. 
 
 
 
 
Miller also made so many stupid bets – Countrywide, Citigroup, and Yahoo were just three from a long list - he is likely go down in financial history as the man who saw the very top and very bottom – of mutual fund performance. The only problem for Miller is that as he nears retirement age, his career is likely to end at the bottom.
 
But as sad as any story of the rise and fall of man, I have no sympathy for Miller. His bank account wasn't hurt.  He became a multi-millionaire.
 
I have sympathy for those who invested with him. They lost their retirement savings.
 
But in the end, they got whatthey deserved because they were foolish enough to believe the mutual industry's propaganda.  Most likely, they also watch CNBC. 
 
Miller’s troubles began when the realities of the previous bull market period were surfacing. When the Gulf War began a few years ago, Miller was already slipping in performance because his very perma-bull strategy simply had no way to account for downside risk.
 
Today, investors who poured into his Value Trust (LMVTX) in 1996 have only broken even. But after adjusting for fees, they have suffered huge losses. It’s been a gravy train for Legg Mason and Miller but a nightmare for millions who can no longer afford to retire. 
 
 
 
 
 
How about a claw-back of fees for these unfortunate investors? 
 
How about investors wake up and realize that mutual funds are a scam? 
 
As one example, Miller overly concentrated his fund on a few name, mainly high-tech. Since when did high-tech enter the realm of value investing? Yet, his Value Trust fund gave the perception to investors that it had solid companies with long histories of consistent earnings. 
 
People need to learn to stop listening to the praise the financial media gives to these “genius” – Alan Greenspan, Steve Case, Ken Griffin, and Bill Miller. They all look like geniuses at the top. But when reality hits, they are no different than anyone else.
 
Miller is certain no genius. If he was, he would have realized that eventually, high risk catches up with you. If he were truly brilliant, he would have realized this and called it quits while he was ahead. 
 
I’m still wondering why no securities attorneys have sued Value Trust for style drift, as it's clearly a slam dunk case. For all securities attorneys looking for an expert witness in the case, feel free to contact me.
 
NOTE: I continue to face widespread censorship for the cold hard truth I speak, as I see it. My intention is to wake the people up so they will realize just how useless and deceitful the mainstream media is.  I ask that you do your part to help with this mission by emailing my articles to your friends and adding the articles to the various online syndication options provided at the top right-hand side of each article. Together, we can make a difference.
