Originally Published on May 11, 2012 (May 2012 Dividend Gems)   As we enter a new cycle of global macroeconomic risk, the U.S. stock market continues to resist being pulled into the euro zone vortex. Despite having recently declined to a low of 12,689, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has since rallied past 13,350, only to face another retracement. It is now poised to experience a more sizable retracement. While the S&P 500 has faced a similar series of volatile movements, it maintains a technically weaker outlook in coming days/weeks. All things considered, thus far the U.S. market has remained fairly bullish due to continued earnings strength. However, earnings momentum is fading. During the early part of earnings season about 80% of companies beat consensus estimates. As of...

Have you ever wondered why most people get screwed in the stock market?

Ron Paul has been preaching doom for many years. When on his soapbox, he pretends to be an expert by you people that real experts like me warned about in 2006 (e.g. unfunded contingent liabilities for mandatory expenditures, i.e. Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). Although these liabilities are problematic, they certainly did not pose an imminent threat to the U.S. economy, unlike his claims.  But his fearmongering serves a very specific purpose. First, it allows him to scare Americans into thinking that Social Security places the nation in danger. Moreover, he has repeatedly insisted that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and won’t be around when you retire. Does this sound familiar? It should because the fraudster and con man Elon Musk is now repeating the same lin...

Robert Kiyosaki continues to push the limits of stupidity.  Kiyosaki's latest pitch shows how confident he is that his cult members are brainless idiots.  His message is basically that "If you buy my board game you will become much smarter."  You can't make this stuff up. Ridiculous shit like this is only possible from career con artists like Kiyosaki.  Remember, this is a guy who claims he's a great source of business and investment advice even though he has filed for bankruptcy several times. As well, he has a long history of terrible investment advice while making unverified claims. But we cannot forget that Kiyosaki also advises you not to go to college. His lines get even more crazy. For instance, he also claims that "jobs are for losers."  As...

Hopefully, after having read Part 1 and Part 2, you now realize that gold certainly isn’t a hedge against inflation; quite the opposite. Accordingly, a buy-and-hold approach is the worst possible investment strategy for the use of gold; that is, unless you happen to get in at during the early stages of a gold bull market.   Similar to deflationary periods, major crises are short-term events. In contrast, modest inflation is a universal law. Therefore, gold should only be bought during times of crisis (ideally before). BUT you should NOT hold gold indefinitely.  You need to trade it like major financial institutions do.  Otherwise you could get crushed (depending upon where along the spike you bought it).  Remember, the price of gold is ONLY driven by supply-d...

I have documented some of Max Keiser's biggest scams since the financial crisis as a way to warn those who would be his suckers. In this article, I present a brief review of some of these scams followed by his latest attempt to fool those who are foolish enough to think they will receive accurate reporting from him and RT.   REMEMBER, birds of the same feather ALWAYS FLOCK TOGETHER.

For nearly three years we have been discussing important global macroeconomic trends in order to assess the progress and risks of what has been labeled a global economic “recovery.” The illusion accounting for these improvements was created by a global release of trillions of dollars. One of the most prominent characteristics of this “recovery” is that it has been lop-sided, with advanced nations showing very little progress on many fronts. While Australia and Canada have fared relatively well, the U.S., U.K., Japan and Europe have continued to stall, despite claims made by officials and the media that a recovery is in progress. In contrast, emerging nations have performed particularly well. Asia and much of Latin America experienced a recession of short duration. Brazil spent the...

(Updated on December 14, 2010) I hate to waste time on useless scumbag liars and profiteers. However, if you want to be a great investor, you have to be able to recognize trash in order to avoid it. I want to alert you to the latest scam being led by the biggest opportunities, liars and censoring scumbags in the world today. As a manner by which to boost their own swollen bank accounts, disinfo agents Alex Jones and Max Keiser have been promoting a campaign get sheep across the globe to buy silver with the (ridiculous) intent to crush JP Morgan. Their reasoning is as follows. Since the bank has a large short position in silver, if people buy it in hoards it will drive up the price causing them to sell at a big loss. Furthermore, since JP Morgan's short position is (alleged...

Below we have created a video demonstrating how once again, Mike Stathis has accurately nailed the trade in gold and silver. Remember, physical gold and silver is for SUCKERS. The ONLY people who will make money from physical gold and silver are the dealers. This is why they have created a huge wave of lies. The smart money trades the precious metals ETFs. They are very liquid and they have very low fees, unlike the situation with physical precious metals.  If you want to elevate your investment IQ to that of a REAL investor instead of being taken for a fool by con men, subscribe to our research today, or you can begin as a Member. The con men are relying on you to remain clueless because this is how they make money. Please keep in mind that we do NOT always notify t......

Continuing from Part 1 Contrary to the claim that Federated’s Prudent Bear Fund holds more short than long stock positions, if you check the current top holdings, you won't see a single short position.  Upon closer examination, you will note that nine of the top ten holdings consist of precious metals mining stocks; so much for diversification. BUT, the total percent of these nine positions comes to less than 3% of the portfolio.

Have you ever wondered why most people get screwed in the stock market? Most who lose their ass in the stock market rarely blame the real culprits. So who are the real culprits? Well, if you pay attention to the financial media, then you have your answer.

Question of the Month: Is there a bigger con man in America today than Robert Kiyosaki? That's a good question because he certainly has a great deal of competition.   Even before beginning to tackle this question one must first list the various genres known to be loaded with con artists and go from there. For instance, Kiyosaki considers himself a consumer finance, real estate and self-help guy. These are three genres consisting of nothing other than scam artists because they were created by scam artists.  So if we view Kiyosaki as a consumer finance guy then Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey are obvious candidates for the top spot.   If we view Kiyosaki as a real estate guy, the list of candidates who might qualify to take the top spot is too lengthy to mention.&n...

Many of you know where I stand on gold. Despite having forecast gold to rise to very high prices in America's Financial Apocalypse, the fact is the gold bugs have fooled many to believe gold is a hedge against inflation. They have also tried to scare people by insisting the U.S. will undergo hyperinflation as a way to pump gold further. As I have shown in previous articles, these claims are not true. I wanted to show you an example of the kind of propaganda being spread about the gold and silver.

Over the past decade I have exposed most of the biggest gold-pumping, fear-mongering con artists in the world.  In fact, I have been the only financial professional to have done so (check this site for many hundreds of exclusive articles and videos). Think about that. It deserves a good amount of thought and discussion. And it should point to the fact that the financial industry is largely comprised of a self-serving army of hucksters and parasites that seeks to extract money from the public based on lies and manipulation.  After having exposed the majority of fear-mongering kingpins, it sometimes gets old when I run across someone I've not previously profiled because their song and dance is essentially the same as the others I've been exposing for more than a decade. I figure e...

Many of you are aware of my forecasts about the economy, real estate, the stock market, gold, oil, etc. from my books, articles and newsletter.

In the past I haven't posted much if anything about Charles Nenner in part because I believe it's pretty obvious that he’s not someone who should be taken seriously after hearing him speak of cycles and other nonsense. Just listen to the guy. He's a complete clown! Similar to most failures in the financial industry, Nenner aligned himself with the gold pumping syndicate many years ago as his market collapse "forecasts" failed to pan out.
