You have probably heard what the clowns in the media have said about the economy.
Unfortunately, the media is littered with misguided salesmen like Peter Schiff, Mark Faber and other gold dealers, who clearly have no idea what they're talking about. What they do have are agendas.
Then you have pundits who are always late to the party.
Ask yourself the following question…
Have you ever gotten a true sense of the reality of the U.S. or global economy by listening to the clowns in the media?
Here is just a short list of reminders demonstrating that you’re going to lose your shirt if you pay attention to anyone in the media.

Good god these IDIOTS in the media are a DAMN JOKE!!!! Schiff, Faber, Gross, Rogers, Dent, Cramer, Kudlow, YOU NAME IT!
But by now, you should realize that the media is designed to mislead and confuse its audience.
In short, they don’t give a damn about their viewers.
They only care about those who pony up the money for ads, and they will do ANYTHING to please this gravy train.
This is why we have created a special video presentation covering our 2013 Mid-Year Global Economic Analysis.

Some of the Questions Answered in this Presentation:
- Which economies fared the best and which fared the worst during the financial crisis and resulting recession?
- Which economies are performing the best now?
- How bad is the situation in Europe?
- Is the economy improving in the euro zone? Is the worst over? Are things getting worse? If so, how bad will things get?
- We also keep hearing how the United States economy has been improving, but is this really true? How is the United States economy faring? Is the U.S. economy getting worse or better?
- How is the U.S. real estate market doing? Is it experiencing a real recovery? Is the momentum sustainable?
- How will the current and forward domestic and global macroeconomic environment impact the U.S. stock market?
- What’s going on in Brazil?
- How is China doing and what should we expect to see from China in the future?
This 2.5 hour video series has been published in four separate videos.*
In the first video, Mike summarizes what has happened and discusses the relative progress made by the major economies since the financial crisis.
The remaining three videos discuss the current and future global macroeconomic situation, with a particular focus on the United States, Japan, the euro zone and China.
You won’t want to miss this analysis because I can guarantee you won’t find anything like it anywhere. Anyone who is familiar with Mike Stathis’ work and track record certainly understands this.

Fortunately for us, without all of the idiots, con men and crooks out there, there would be little need for us to exist.
As many of you already know, our research is led by Mike Stathis, who some have already called an investment legend based solely on his written track record and brilliant insights.
If you are not familiar with Stathis’ work, we recommend you read every article we have published on this website, nearly 800. Then you will see for yourself.
You should also read at minimum, the landmark book released by Stathis in 2006 entitled America’s Financial Apocalypse.
Once you read this book and take note of the presentation and predictions, most of which have materialized with stunning accuracy, you will then begin to understand why he has been able to see things no one else has seen and why he is being referred to as one of the world’s top investment strategists by financial professionals.
If you want to further your knowledge and understanding of Stathis’ take on the investment process you should also read the Wall Street Investment Bible.
Those who read this book could have landed HUGE profits just from the recommendations made in the book alone, not to mention the unique education offered in the book.
For instance, Stathis recommended readers buy Netflix and short Blockbuster at a time when each stock was around $25.
Of course Stathis followed up on Netflix many times with video presentations (contained in the Membership video library).
First, he predicted the collapse of Netflix when it was over $300.
Next, advised investors that he would only consider taking a long position once shares collapsed to the $60 mark. Since falling to $60, shares have soared to $230.
There are so many examples of brilliant calls made by Stathis that it would take weeks to summarize them. And this list of outstanding calls grows each day.
But don’t confuse us with others who publish investment “research,” as we can assure you that virtually every single one of these firms are useless copyrighting firms that practice the art of appealing to your psyche by selling greed and fear.
These firms are run by con men and idiots who have no idea what they are talking about. The list is too long to mention here.
If you want an idea, you can be assured that the firms you have heard of are scams.
First look at the credentials of the employees.
Next, look at the track record of these monkeys.
For instance, take a look at the video below.
After the stock market bottomed in 2009, Prechter came out in 2010 and insisted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average was going to collapse to 1000.
Can you say IDIOT?? More on Precher here.
Unfortunately, because these individuals are masters of deception and psychological trickery, they know how to exaggerate their credentials and manipulate their track record in ways that most people are unable to detect.
Notice in the video below how Maria claims Prectcher has had "some great calls" when the reality is that she fails to factor in ALL of his calls, most of which have been on the wrong side of the trade.
Finally, making predictions on whether a currency goes up or down not only has a 50% chance of being right, but it DOESN'T MATTER because retail investors have no business trading currencies because it is considered GAMBLING by the SEC and CFTC. The fact is Prechter is one of the worst market forecasters in recent history.
