For nearly two years now, Mike has wanted to write a follow up article on Washington Mutual, pointing to the gross missteps by very naive shareholders.
First, they made huge commissions loaning you money to buy overpriced real estate. They convinced you that real estate “is a great investment,” and “property values never go dow...
Just a quick note. Similar to the case with Seeking Alpha, we have evidence that Schwab and E-Trade are now facilitating manipulation of securities via moderator control of their online communit......
I always suspected something just wasn't right about Paul Craig Roberts. After all, he was inducted into the political environment under Reagan, as a junior Treasury staff member. Next, h...
If I were to list the number of websites that have banned me or ignored me for the purpose of distancing themselves from the "good cop," as bad cops always do, the list would be into the thousands.
While still working on Wall Street, I began recommending gold in late 2001 to my clients just when the bull market had commenced. As you might imagine, it was very difficult to convince older investor...
As many of you know, I don't watch much television because I value my brain cells. Plus, I can't stand constant lies from the media, nor can I stand trash TV, because that too melts one's brain. Howev...
With a good deal of help from traditional media, the social media fad has grown into a worldwide phenomenon for millions who seem to have too much time on their hands. Many claim they use these s...

I ran across one of these "How to Make Tons of Money With No Money and Minimal Effort" BS propaganda pieces, so I thought I'd show you just how naive people are. The article is a...
I've discussed my own views on the SEC on many occasions, dating back to the 2006 original edition of America's Financial Apocalypse. First, I warned that the SEC would not be likel...
I've been telling you that all of the alternatives to Wall Street, whether it's the online brokers like Charles Schwab or E-Trade, the financial pundits in the media, or the traditional investmen...
If you clicked this article thinking I was serious, then I strongly advise you to take notes as you read through this piece. The title of this article, is, never has been and never will be some...
I want you to read an article by the Associated Press. As you will see, it was very deficient, hardly critical of the SEC and the banking fraud, and left out key issues. This is just...
A few months ago, I wrote an article discussing how the same incompetent bozo financial reporters who missed EVERYTHING (causing YOU to lose your shirt in the stock market) have since taken...
I can't recall if I have shared my views on global warming with you. I do believe I mentioned it briefly in one of my previous newsletter issues. I want to go on record as s...

The reported news of SEC actions to move towards a ban on flash trading pose nothing more than a smoke screen to fool investors into thinking the SEC is watching out for their best interests...
Last week, a federal judge dismissed an insider trading case made by the SEC against Mark Cuban. I discussed this case several weeks ago. "U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fit...
