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...

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.

The following piece reinforces what I have been stating countless times over the past several years. Anyone who wastes time watching or reading anything CNBC, Bloomberg, the Wall Street journal, Barron's FOX, or any other Jewish-run media firm is naive and will surely get screwed. The same applies to websites that claim to provide investment research but in reality are part of the copywriting industry (Zach's, Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, etc.).   Failed hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson spent many years partnering with Jewish-run media platforms such as CNBC and Bloomberg attempting to lure naive suckers into his trades in order to deliver positive investment performance. Lining up to deliver a pitch to suckers who watch these scam networks is a very common "investment strat...

Last month marked the eighth year we offered a cash reward for anyone who could provide evidence that there was another financial professional who could at least match Mike Stathis' track record in investment forecasting and analysis since 2006.  Prior to the recent expiration of this $100,000 reward, we also launched a similar contest but raised the stakes to $1,000,000. This offer expired in June 2017. See here. We are now extending this $1,000,000 challenge effective today, through sometime in 2018 (expiration for this challenge will be determined in an upcoming release). We are also extending the period covered by this challenge by another year, from late 2006 to October 2017.  We will release more details regarding this challenge in coming weeks.  We will make...

As someone who has been an active participant in the capital markets for nearly two decades, as well as a watchdog for Main Street exposing media spin and deception, consumer fraud, and securities manipulation, perhaps the single most important thing I have learned is the following:

A few years ago I characterized Chris Martenson as a very deceptive predator who was ready to do anything in order to line his pockets from as many sheep as possible by spreading fear-mongering disinformation. See here.  In the 100-page article exposing Martenson I also pointed to bogus claims he made in order to boost his stature and credibility.  In case you don't know anything about Chris Martenson, he's one of those guys who has been warning of a bubble in the stock market, real estate market, and just about everything else you can think of (except gold and silver) since 2011 as a part of his fear-mongering pitch designed to lure naive people as well as nut jobs into his unethical business of selling "fear porn," while directing these victims to service providers (mainly...

This article was originally published on March 19, 2010, but I have decided to repost it because it's getting ready interesting. I encourage you all to ask Mish why he would not want to mention the WaMu fraud I reported in my SEC complaint.  As the insider trading case is obvious and I am willing to bet any amount of money to anyone on this. The SEC holds the evidence. I also claimed that WaMu was NOT insolvent.  As we now know, according to court testimony from JPMorgan, WaMu was in fact NOT insolvent. So why isn't the seizure and fire sale reversed?    

Who is Chris Martenson?  Is He Legit?  And is He on Your Side?   In this 3-year investigation of Martenson, we lay out the details of how this snake has elbowed his way into the gold charlatan network in this 60-page report. We issued a warning about Martenson a while back, knowing well what he was up to, but we just did not have the time to do the investigation and write-up required to present a bullet-proof analysis. Click here to read our previous warning. More recently, we exposed what a complete clown Martenson is by showing his predictions on commodities and the US stock market. Click here and here to view Parts 1 & 2 of this video presentation, respectively. The full report on Chris Martenson can be found in our famous Encyclopedia of Bozos,...

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...

This presentation required several years of research and effort. It consists of more than 100 pages and contains some of our most insightful analyses and conclusions regarding the fear-mongering, gold pumping, copywriting syndicate which claims to offer "investment insight." Let me be clear. Doug Casey and this huge syndicate of sleaze balls are about as detached from real investment insight as humanly possible.  They are masters of deception, emotional exploitation and cult formation.   List of SOME of Mike's articles and videos on Gold Due to the intense effort required to create this publication as well as the valuable education contained within this report this publication in its entirety is only available to Clients and Members. As a part of our contin...

Some readers may need to read a few previous articles I've written about Chris Martenson in order to put everything into context. However, for those who are not familiar with Mr. Martenson, I'll provide a brief rundown before proceeding to discuss the focus of this article.   I've discussed Chris Martenson several times over the years because I believe he's engaging in less than honest business practices for the purpose of selling snake oil. In short, Martenson is someone the public should be warned about because he's selling fear and disinformation while marketing himself as a credible source of insight. Let me be clear. Chris Martenson is by no means credible.  If Martenson kept to himself and only posted his nonsense on his huckster-themed "Peak Prosperity" website, hi...

This little episode is just one of many that point to massive fraud committed by the media in promoting clowns as experts. Below is an interview from a couple years ago by Josh "the clown" Brown for the fake news website Benzinga (there are two videos below which may begin to play autmatically, so you might want to pause them).  I've mentioned Brown a few times in the past, but not nearly as much as I'd like due to time constraints (there's just too many idiots and snake oil salesmen out there for one man to expose). In addition to steering sheep into a huge array of stocks that have since collapsed, Brown has also been trying to convince people that he can show them how to use the financial media for their own benefit (laughs).   He even wrote a book addressing this very top...

Over the past few months we have heard about a variety of questionable practices from banks looking to seize the homes due to chronic mortgage delinquencies. Each day more drama is added to the picture. It has become the center of focus for many media hacks who want to exploit the frustration and anger they have with Wall Street and Washington. These hacks are the same individuals who hid the realities of the real estate bubble a few years ago. Back then, they ran advertisements for mortgage companies and get-rich-quick real estate schemes. Today, they have positioned themselves as your savior, all while pitching gold and silver. Do not be fooled by these hacks. All the care about is making money selling ads. A few years ago, mortgage a...

After monitoring Jim Rogers’ media appearances for several years, I’ve noticed a very disturbing trend. Once the media monkey conducting the interview has told the audience how great of an investor he is, Rogers is usually asked about the economy and the capital markets to which he most often responds with a predictable rant consisting primarily of hyperbole and more often than not, complete nonsense. Once Rogers has finished delivering his predictable narrative, the media monkey typically asks him to discuss what he considers lucrative investment opportunities to which he invariably recommends commodities and foreign currencies.  I'll get to Rogers' hidden agendas with regards to these persistent recommendations later. Right now I want to focus on risk aspect of th...

Today, we learn of even more clowns looking to duplicate Porter Stansberry’s fear-mongering tactics to lure unsophisticated people into his...

In the past I have discussed ridiculous inaccuracy of Robert Prechter's track record. Once you become as familiar with the entire investment copyediting industry, you will realize that all of these guys have track records as bad as Robert Prechter.

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.

Jim Cramer has been manipulating securities and misleading the sheep who watch CNBC for many years. Yet, no one calls him out on his securities manipulation or horrendous calls, so you shouldn't expect anyone to point out the various levels of fraud that constantly show up on the scam network, CNBC.   Recommended background reading: Why CNBC Viewership Is Collapsing The Truth about Jim Cramer and CNBC (Part 1) You Will Lose Your Ass If You Listen To The Media Selling You With Baseball Legends And The Buffett Name Ron Insana 3-time Loser UPDATE To Hack Of The Day: Compliments Of Thestreet.com And Yahoo!
