Mike Stathis' Near-Perfect Market Forecasting Record
Sep 27, 2011
|
|
By early March 2009, with the Dow at around 6500, Mike advised readers to begin buying. All of these forecasts were published in the public domain where they remain today. We do not know anyone else in the world that made these accurate predictions. But these critical calls would be just a small part of Mike's spectacular track record, which continues to place him further ahead of the pack.

Krueger Will Not End the Nightmare on Main Street
Aug 30, 2011

Yesterday, President Obama announced his nomination of Alan Krueger to serve as Chairman of his Council of Economic Advisers. Thus far, this council has been nothing short of an abject failure.

We Pin-Pointed the Past Two Market Tops and Bottoms

What is you knew when to sell the stock market in May and when to buy it back?
If you knew this information, you wouldn't even need to know a thing about securities. All you would need to do is sell when you were told and buy when you were told, right? Even a dummy could have made easy money in a short period.
