As the only investment expert who predicted the 2008 financial crisis in detail, as documented in the 2006 release of America’s Financial Apocalypse and the 2007 release of Cashing in on the Real Estate Bubble,  Please check the following links for some of the published materials demonstrating the accuracy of his predictions regarding the 2008 financial crisis.  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]  

Due to his world-leading expertise, Mike served as a valuable source of insight helping investors navigate the real estate and banking crisis. And he continues to serve as one of the world's leading investment analysts today.   

As well, Mike accurately identified the exact bottom in the US stock market in March 2009 when he advised to begin buying stocks. Although he remained bullish on the stock market since that period, he has also accurately forecast most of the major market selloffs as well as advising when to reenter the selloff with stunning accuracy.

As a result of his research track record, Mike has become one of the world's most accurate market forecasters. The accuracy of his qualitative research, securities trading guidance and stock market forecasts has positioned him as one of America’s most accurate, insightful and creative financial experts.

Despite having been blacklisted by the publishing industry, Mike has written numerous books which remain as valuable today as when first released. His books have also been used in business schools as a required text for completion of the MBA program.

His second book, America's Financial Apocalypse remains as one of the most accurate and valuable investment books ever written, having predicted the details of the 2008 financial crisis as well as longstanding issues faced by the United States long before anyone else such as the problems with free trade, China's theft of intellectual property, the wealth and income disparity, damaging impact of illegal immigration, the pension crisis, America's healthcare crisis and much more.

His fourth book, The Wall Street Investment Bible has been called the single best investment book by several industry professionals. This book lays out a framework for understanding investments and the investment process. In this book, Mike accurately predicted numerous companies that would eventually file for bankruptcy as well as companies that would end up as market leaders such as Netflix (NFLX) which he recommended at an adjusted share price of less than $3 per share. And he has remained bullish on Netflix ever since. 

Prior to Apex Advisors, Mike worked for UBS and Bear Stearns in asset management and merchant banking where he dealt with institutional investors, including corporate treasury departments and pension funds.
