As I previously discussed, I was very bullish on gold in the past. However, I never positioned it as an investment in the same manner as equities or bonds because there is no credible way to value gold other than by the market approach. And if you think the market approach is valid, keep in mind it’s similar to the approach used to value real estate. Moreover, the higher gold rises in price, the riskier it becomes for new purchases because pricing over $1000 will not persist indefinitely. This is a fact. But Marc Faber has guaranteed that gold will never again decline below $1000. This should convince you that he is a complete clown.

In addition to the loads of valuable content we provide to Members, we have added another critical research publication to the Member Library.   All Members will receive the report below at no cost.

I began my mission helping investors steer clear of Wall Street because I learned firsthand how the game was played after having worked in the industry.  Thereafter, I learned how the media helps Wall Street after I was black balled by all media in 2006 and thereafter for trying to warn main street about what would become an unprecedented financial crisis in 2008.  My mission has been to help investors become more knowledgeable and successful by providing cutting-edge investment research as well as top-notch educational content. I think I've done quite well in that regard.  As a part of this mission, I have also spent a great deal of time and effort exposing the criminal activities of the financial media, as it works with Wall Street to deceive and defraud main str...

I wanted to mention some points about gold and silver I have not previously addressed. Many of you who have read our articles on gold will note that I have addressed virtually every aspect of these metals. I have discussed the use of gold as a hedge against market declines and deflationary periods. I have also dispelled most of the ridiculous myths being spread about gold and related economic claims such as the gold/inflation hedge myth, the dollar collapse/hyperinflation hoax, and many others. Finally and perhaps most significantly, I have also spent a great deal of time and effort exposing the dark side of the gold dealer network, explaining the genesis and mechanisms by which they have spread massive waves of gold propaganda. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you will not b...

Fiscal cliff negotiations turned out to be a disaster. As you will recall, the fiscal cliff referred to automatic expiration of numerous tax breaks and expenditures. It was meant to serve as an economic emergency brake to address medium-term deficit and budget issues in case Washington did not act to alleviate expenditures on its own. Instead of allowing expenditures and tax breaks to expire, Washington essentially abolished the cliff and made a few minor tweaks.

As many of you recall, more than a year ago I wrote an article questioning what I felt to be exaggerated, baseless and sensationalist viewpoints and conclusions about the U.S. economy, gold and hyperinflation written by John Williams of Shadowstats.

I think it is important to remind people about the price and quality of content. It’s really quite simple. No content is truly free. You pay a huge price for that content. Unfortunately, the price you pay is almost always hidden so that most people never even realize what it has cost them. Most often, the cost is an opportunity cost or the cost of misinformation which leads to huge losses of money or even one's health.

Here is the email exchange between myself and Greg Zuckerman, mentioned in a recent article.    Mr. Zuckerman, Instead of trying to make Paulson look like some genius, why not try doing some investigative journalism to see why he is paying Greenspan a 7-figure "consulting" salary. It's Greenspan’s cut of the heist.  As the facts show, I predicted the details of this collapse in 2 books written in late 2006. Yet, the media has continued to ignore me. Why? because they don't want people to know the about nation's biggest problems: free trade and healthcare, which I detailed in this book. I was discussing healthcare and the entitlements as a cause of this depression and now the Calvary arrives to discuss healthcare. Yet, they have not dared discuss free trad...

A few days ago, the liberal radio network, AirAmerica ended all programming and announced that it would soon be filing for chapter 7.  Before I continue, I think a little background info might be noteworthy. You see, back when I wrote America's Financial Apocalypse, President Bush was the current puppet in the White House. So I knew that AirAmerica would be the best chance I'd have to warn people about the upcoming depression, expected to commence with the real estate meltdown.

When one draws comparisons between the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s to the current gold craze, the similarities are striking.     "Many, very many, that come here meet with bad success & thousands will leave their bones here. Others will lose their health, contract diseases that they will carry to their graves with them. Some will have to beg their way home, & probably one half that come here will never make enough to carry them back. But this does not alter the fact about the gold being plenty here, but shows what a poor frail being man is, how liable to disappointments, disease & death. There is a good deal of sin & wickedness going on here, Stealing, lying, Swearing, Drinking, Gambling & murdering. There is a great deal of gambling carri...

Two years ago when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were collapsing, former Goldman Sachs CEO and U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson repeated the promise of “no more bailouts,” so as to calm ...

You certainly don’t have to be an annoying, brainless talking head to make money pumping gold. Anyone without a conscious could have been a millionaire if they had been a gold dealer over the past few years, and if indeed their goal was to make money by that means. But hey, for those of you out there who don’t mind ripping people off or at the very least deceiving them, there’s still time to make buckets of cash selling gold. After all, with typical fees of around 3-5% per transaction, it doesn’t take more than a third grade education to realize that the higher the price of gold rises, the more money gold dealers extract from buyers. The gold charlatans make sure to keep things real simple so that the most naïve individuals can follow their dog-and-pony log...

UPDATE (April 2, 2021): since 2011 we have been offering to award the first person who was able to demonstrate that another financial professional was able to at least match the investment forecasting track record of Mike Stathis since he began publishing investment research in 2006. After one decade of failing to receive a single submission to challenge our guarantee, we decided to officially close this offer (see below). This decision should in no way be taken to imply that we no longer believe Mr. Stathis holds the leading forecasting track record in the world. We remain confident that Mr. Stathis continues to hold the world's leading investment forecasting track record. As such, we are willing to extend this offer on an individual basis if we receive sufficient materials whi...

“If I submit a manuscript to a publishing house, it is again checked first for references to the Jews, and second, to see if its author is on the Jewish blacklist. In this manner, the Jews prevent any gentile writer from reaching the public if he is known to be indifferent or hostile to their goals, if he has refused to become a member of the shabez goi class.   Any publication which rejects Jewish censorship is either driven out of business, or taken over by Jewish financial interests.   A book which is published by gentiles who are not of the shabez goi class is ignored by the book review departments of mass publications, and bookstores refuse to stock it, for their stocks are reviewed monthly by traveling ADL agents who enter the store incognito, inspect the stock, a...

While I do agree with Congressman Ron Paul's position on the Federal Reserve, this by no means should be used as a blanket endorsement of his political and economic views; and certainly not his views on healthcare. The Federal Reserve mafia has been in control of America since inception. This cartel has worked particularly hard over the past two decades to gain control over the global banking system. So, you had better believe they aren't going away, nor is their control. They’re too powerful now, and they won’t allow anyone to get in their way. They control Washington. They control the media. They control economists. They control your lives.   As we have recently witnessed, President Obama has been instructed by his puppet masters to grant the Fed even more power....

As a result of Stathis' accurate interest rate forecasts, his institutional clients and others who might have access to interest rate swaps and other dervivatives linked to interest rate changes have been able to make a killing.

Approximately three months weeks ago the U.S. markets began to correct. We warned about this first correction in the May issue of our firms paid research publications.

Once again, Mike Stathis nailed the most recent market sell off in April.

Amidst the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression (if not ever) and the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, (the real estate-banking Ponzi scheme) not one of the 65 Pulitzer Prizes was awarded for coverage of the events surrounding the “financial crisis.” Ironically, the media has yet to identify this crisis as the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, confirming their incompetence. Disgraceful? Yes. Surprising? No. It’s all about content. It’s always been about content. Valuable content drives readers, listeners and viewers, which appeals to sponsors. Valuable content is highly treasured because it’s so rare today. This relationship generates healthy revenues for newspapers and more business for their sponsors. But media executives disagree. T...

I first began my mission helping investors steer clear of Wall Street because I learned first hand how the game was played after having worked in the industry.  My mission has been to help investors become more knowledgeable and successful by providing cutting-edge investment research as well as top-notch educational content. I think I've done quite well in that regard.  Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how critical it is to know the credibility and reliability of the sources they choose to follow. Instead of checking credentials and track records, they go by the number of likes, fake comments and reviews and heresay from people they have no idea about.  Those who are unfamiliar with me can find out more about my credentials, my background, as well as my invest...
