"It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." –Mark Twain

For some time now, Mike Stathis has been exposing the scams underlying the precious metals industry. And we aren't referring to banker price manipulation. Mike has been the sole source of exposing the various scams, tactics and debunking myths spread by precious metals dealers and paid promoters.

 
Stathis has also pointed to the fact that the gold and silver peddling business attracts con men and other preditors like flies on honey because it is virtually unregulated. This is something you should keep in mind when you hear lunatics talk about too much government regulation.
 
If you think you are defenseless now from the various corporate and financial preditors, imagine what would happen to you if there were no government regulation. 
 
If you are a con man seeking to secure free access to the largest online audience of unsophisticated and easily impressionable individuals, there might be no better place for you than YouTube.
 
In addition to the money you might bring in pitching scams to YouTubers, you can add to your criminal activities by agreeing to host paid advertisements.
 
Of course, most of the third-party ads posted throughout your YouTube channel will be funded by other con men looking for suckers to pitch their scams to, whether it's some real estate "expert" who offers to give you a free copy of his book as bait, or a guy who claims he can teach you how to earn a living trading forex from your bedroom.
 
 
 
 
But if you aren't particularly skilled in the fine art of selling snake oil, don't worry. All you really need to do is repeat the same lines you hear from the snake oil salesmen seen on TV and heard on radio, and you will effortlessly herd the sheep who have been primed for slaughter.
 
Whether the mainstream media role model you choose to emulate is pitching gold and silver to avoid doomsday, real estate "secrets" or other get-rich-quick schemes, it doesn't matter. So long as you preach the same lines people are used to hearing from the charlatans on TV and radio, you are guaranteed to pull in cash due to the shear volume of suckers on You Tube.
 
You might even run across a sales pitch for a MLM/cash-flow scheme by a con man who has been endorsed by none other than king charlatan, scum bag, loser and self-proclaimed "financial expert," (whose company was forced to file for bankruptcy) Robert Kiyosaki himself.
 
Quite simply, anyone who spends their time watching videos on YouTube for investment and economic insight is begging to get taken. Such a person would have to be dumb as a rock. There just isn't any milder way to put it unless I were to sugarcoat it.
But if you want access to a wide variety of con men, liars and BS, YouTube is a great option.  
A few months ago Mike exposed an individual who is only known from YouTube and gold/silver pumping websites. He has no credentials, expertise or prior experience in either the precious metals or securities markets to speak of. But of course this is the common theme with precious metals peddlers.
 
Like all precious metals dealers, this individual has sold his products to a large number of naive individuals using false and misleading statements as well as psychological tactics.
 
This con man has jumped aboard the typical and predictable "follow me if you love freedom and liberty" and "follow me if you think the banks are bad," and "we need to buy gold and silver before the dollar goes to zero," and "I can help you if you become wealthy if you buy my shit because we both hate the banks and we want freedom and liberty"... the same mantra used by the rest of the doomsday charlatans like Max Keiser, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, etc. etc., etc.

 

Yet, he is no different than every other person who either promotes gold in exchange for huge fees, ad revenue and in some cases, undisclosed compensation for promoting the gold fantasies.

Make no mistake. According to Mike Stathis, our chief investment strategist who holds the leading track record in the world in the investment world since 2006, as well as being one of the world's foremost authorities on investment-related fraud, the ENTIRE Gold/silver "movement" is nothing short of FRAUD.

Mike has shown many of the layers surrounding this fraudulant scheme for several years now.

For those who insist on remaining skeptic despite Stathis' world-leading track record, his absense of agendas and his results-based research and insights, it is important to keep in mind that he was recommending gold investments as early as late-2001.

He even recommended gold and silver for investment purposes in his 2006 book, America's Financial Apocalypse.

But the critical distinction is that Stathis only meant for gold and silver as a CYCLICAL investment play, not something to hold forever. As well, he advocated TRADING the volatility in these precious metals when appropriate by use of ETFs, rather than buying physical gold and silver. 

He also made a point to warn investors of the enormous risks of investing in precious metals stocks. This brilliant advice is specifically why Stathis has been completely banned from the alternative media and internet since they all rely on ad revenues from gold dealers.

His ban by the so-called mainstream media is more related to the fact that he exposed the facts underlying the USA, and the establishment will never permit that. Keep in mind that anytme the media celebrates someone as some sort of hero to the people, you can bet the opposite is true.

The media would NEVER air anyone who disclosed the complete truth. Hence, everyone in the media has been bought off and should be avoided at all cost.

Regardless what you'd like to consider, from stock market forecasting, securities analysis and global macroeconomics, to exposing fraud and con men, there is no one in the world who can approach the accuracy, comprehensiveness and broad scope of research that Mike Stathis covers.

Mike is even a recognized authority in healthcare, as well as his "previous life" as a biosciences expert, research scientist, university instructor and venture capitalist.

If you intend to spend your time and perhaps even make financial, health and even life decisions based at least in part on what you hear from outside sources, you had better do two things, and do them well; insure your sources have no agendas, and check exhaustively into your source's track record.

Failure to complete these two tasks could result in devastating consequences for you and your loved ones.

Remember that Mike is not getting paid to save people from the lies about gold, silver and the economy, or in this case, from the real estate scams propagated by charlatans such as that featured in the video below.
In fact, not only does this work consume a large amount of Mike's leisure time, it also turns away otherwise would-be customers who have been brainwashed so much that they cannot stand to entertain any ideals outside the fantasy world that has been molded for them by this huge army of charlatans.
But guess what? Mike doesn't care.
The only thing Mike cares about is warning the public about con men and speaking the truth. 
Consider that Mike does not sell precious metals.
He does not sell securities.
He does not sell real estate or real estate get-rich-quick programs (scams).
He does not sell get-rich-quick stock service subscriptions or related scams.
He does not even sell advertisements.
That means he has NO AGENDAS.
The only business Mike is in is that of conducting world-class investment and investment-related economics research.
In fact, he is losing a great deal of money for speaking the truth and trying to save Main Street.
How often do you hear someone spend so much time at work fighting to get the truth out when they should be focusing on sales? With the exception of Mike’s efforts, it NEVER happens.
Many have been fooled by snake oil salesmen to think they are on your side, when they are really looking to hook you into their sales pitch.
Mike could focus on producing videos that always highlight his amazing track record in order to generate sales, but he doesn’t.
Instead, he spends a great deal of time exposing the liars and con men out there who are duping millions of people with their gold-pumping, doomsday delusions, even though these efforts are costing Mike a great deal of lost sales.
Just remember this down the road once you look back at this period as a huge fraud perpetrated not only by Wall Street, but also by thousands of doomsday, gold-pumping charlatans. If you do not already realize they are scam artists, you will eventually if you take their advice. That is a guarantee.
 
Mike Stathis remains the lone voice of reason and wisdom for Main Street.
 
He doesn't sell ads and he doesn't try to get you to like him by kissing your ass, acting like a phony or by using subtle psychological tactics.
 
He is not concerned with being so-called "politically correct" because those who advocate such nonsense are the real enemies of humanity. 
 
He just reports the facts, tells the truth, exposes scams and scam artists, while attempting to educate and inform the public.
