Mike has been targeted by WikiLeaks because of his highly successful proprietary trading methodologies which have successfully predicted and timed the stock market collapse down to a few hundred points, the collapse and bailout of Fannie and Freddie even before the real estate bubble popped, and many other forecasts that have made his readers a boat load of money.

Shortly after the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, government and Wall Street economists downplayed the impact on Japan’s economic growth as well as that of the rest of the world. Next, the nuclear reactor meltdown began to worsen and still, these same economists minimized the economic impact of these events.          In the Intelligent Investor newsletter, I discussed that these estimates had been significantly downplayed. My view was that the combined impact of the catastrophes in Japan would add a significant component to what I had already forecast as a slowdown in the global economy in the second half of the year. I even wrote a follow-up on the site several months later confirming this reality. See here. At the time, there was not even m...

I haven't made any comments about these so-called stress tests for the banks because it was obvious (to me anyway) it was just the latest PR scam devised by Larry Summers (carried out by his puppet, Geithner) to exaggerate the financial health of the banking system. While I was confident the results of these “tests” would be ludicrous, I wanted to hold off until they were released so I could deliver the knockout punch. In short, it's clear these "stress tests" weren't so stressful, as I had suspected.    Before examining the results, let’s begin by looking at some of the brainwashing journalism involved in this PR campaign.

In this video, Mike demonstrates that Ron Paul is a complete disaster when it comes to investments. According to Mike, Ron Paul’ investment performance through the years is about as bad as one can get, and he has absolutely no idea about the investment process.

No one has a crystal ball, including us.  But one thing is certain. When you want to know precisely what is going on and get a good idea what to expect, you will never get unbiased insight from sources that sell ads, securities and/or precious metals, or what we at AVA refer to as ad-based content. List Of Media Articles (media Deception And Lies) Ad-based content is the most common type of agenda-based content seen today. Such content is specifically designed to exploit and deceive those who are foolish enough to lend their eyes and ears to it. Top Six Questions to Ask BEFORE You Trust Investment "Experts" You absolutely need to become consciously aware of this fact. Otherwise, you are going to get screwed over and over. So what do I mean when I say "consciously a......

I’m really sick and tired of these economists out there who continue to claim that America will not enter a depression. These are the same bozos that have yet to acknowledge the fact that the U.S. is in a recession and has been for several months now.  In fact, as I have previously mentioned, I can make a very strong case that the U.S. has been in the early stages of a silent, modest depression for at least two years; at the very least a protracted recession masked by credit. After the appropriate adjustments have been made for GDP, the U.S. economy has had no more than 3 to 4 quarters of GDP growth since 2005. Thus far, we have seen drastic emergency interventions by the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury – measures not taken since the Great Depression. Thus far, we hav...

I think it is important to remind people about the price and quality of content. It’s really quite simple. No content is truly free. You pay a huge price for that content. Unfortunately, the price you pay is almost always hidden so that most people never even realize what it has cost them. Most often, the cost is an opportunity cost or the cost of misinformation which leads to huge losses of money or even one's health.

  At some point you are likely to regret…not buying a security after watching it continue to move up day after day; selling a security prematurely as you watch it continue to climb higher, or even soar to new highs; failing to sell a security only after it has collapsed in price; or even staying out of the stock market for a period of time only to see it soar.   Even the best investors make mistakes and have regrets. In fact, the best investors make many more mistakes more than you might think because the media most often focuses on how great and wise they are rather than what they have done wrong.  

For those of you who are new to AVA Investment Analytics, we advise you to take the opportunity to get up to speed on things. Below is a brief list of key articles written by Stathis over the pas...

My advice is to find some people who you trust; those with proven track records, those who are not tied to the television shows. Figure it out. You are only going to be misled by the mainstream media. They will only come clean after it is too late, fooling you into thinking they actually warned you in a timely manner. But as you can see, this is simply not a reflection of reality. That is how the dotcom charade worked and that is how this one if playing out. It’s game that is played. Stop being played and become a player.

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.

Do you remember all of the forecasts and debates from the various jug heads in the media regarding when the Fed would raise interest rates in 2016? As you might recall, this circus show was even more ridiculous than the one that took place in 2015. The interest rate kosher drama of 2016 even featured absurd "predictions" and "forecasts" from several top Fed officials. For both 2015 and 2016, the overwhelming theme surrounding interest rate forecasts by the various "geniuses" promoted by the media was constant flip flopping after missing the mark over and over again. In contrast, Mike Stathis pointed to a single 25 basis point rate hike for 2015 and 2016 early on when everyone else was forecasting three, four and even more rate hikes each year. Furthermore, as our research cl......

For several years we have been showing how the media’s so-called “experts” are at best, nothing more than broken clock contrarian indicators. At worst they are complete con artists. Mike Stathis has been the first and still only financial professional in the world to have exposed this media scam. Stathis has demonstrated exhaustively how the Jewish-controlled media intentionally airs these clowns in order to command higher prices from advertisers. By positioning broken clocks and idiots as experts, the audience ends up losing so much money they they eventually run in desperation to the advertisers (most of which are financial firms). This conclusion has been presented in the endless articles, audios and videos published by Stathis for several years. His work on...

Below is the exact (unedited) email that was sent to the SEC by Mike Stathis on November 28, 2023. This email was written "on the fly" so it may not convey Mike's entire message and/or may not convey it in the detail he would prefer. Therefore, this email might serve as a primer for a more in-depth discussion in the future.  There are numerous examples of false statements having been made by Musk.   Because Musk is the CEO of Tesla, it's the SEC's job to find these statements/claims and execute successful proceedings leading to civil and perhaps even criminal penalties working with the DOJ.   So far, the SEC has failed (possibly intentionally) to hold Musk accountable for his 2018 tweets about taking TSLA private.   Musk’s tweets represented a clear vio......

Now, if you have not already read this hatchet job on John Williams, I want to encourage you to do so. After reading it, hopefully you will understand how Williams and the rest of these gold bug clowns have been lying to you.

Why doesn't the media simply provide valuable insight? Wouldn't that be a more effective and more profiable way to boost viewership and thus ad revenues?  Have you ever wondered why, after years of being wrong on just about everything, some people still think clowns like Peter Schiff, Harry Dent, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, Jim Rickards and the rest of the broken clock doomsday clan positioned by the media as legitimate sources of economic and investment insight? Over the years I have sought to document the horrendous track records of the most commonly promoted clowns in the financial media in order to warn investors that the financial media cannot be trusted and has been specifically designed to mislead its audience. I have dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort exposing t...

In the previous part of this article we saw how what Buffett invests in doesn’t matter to you. Let’s look at an example how the media uses the Buffett name to make money. I’d like to direct your attention to a story by Reuters, published on August 22, 2008. “Buffett Sees Weak Economy Until 2009   Surely this is no news. Let’s see now. It’s the end of August, so there are four months left until 2009. A person would have to be a complete fool to think the economy would get better prior to 2009. But the fact is that the investment world consists of a lot of fools who have been brainwashed by the media.
