In the November 2010 issue of the Intelligent Investor newsletter, our Chief Investment and Trading Strategist, Mike Stathis added Atheros Communications (ATHR) to his recommended list. At that time, shares were selling for around $32. In December, Mike reiterated his bullish sentiment for ATHR. Most investors hadn’t heard much about ATHR. This is a company that managed to keep a relatively low profile over the years, although it had quickly emerged as a leader in Wi-Fi devices. Mike had been following ATHR for over five years and knew the company well. During that period, he had traded in and out of the stock. In November 2010, Mike made the call to get back in again. The following month, Qualcomm (QCOM) announced an all-cash buyout, valuing ATHR at just under......

When one draws comparisons between the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s to the current gold craze, the similarities are striking. "Many, very many, that come here meet with bad success & thousands will leave their bones here. Others will lose their health, contract diseases that they will carry to their graves with them. Some will have to beg their way home, & probably one half that come here will never make enough to carry them back. But this does not alter the fact about the gold being plenty here, but shows what a poor frail being man is, how liable to disappointments, disease & death. There is a good deal of sin & wickedness going on here, Stealing, lying, Swearing, Drinking, Gambling & murdering. There is a great deal of gambling carri...
The following report was released on June 10th as a follow-up to subscribers to the June newsletter.
It is not my intention to get anyone to buy or sell Sirius Satellite Radio (SIRI) or XM Satellite Radio (XMSR). It is only my intention to help investors understand the full picture regarding the risks to satellite radio. Up to this point, I feel Wall Street has presented the only positive picture. In response, I have offered what I feel to be the missing piece to the puzzle. After considering both sides, it is up to you to determine what to do. Those who get upset and make personal attacks are only confirming the insecurities underlying their investment decisions. Typically, when a person has few investment ideas or capital, they tend to focus on the noise surrounding one or two investments they hope will make them rich, wasting several years of their lives to no avail, while better opp...
You might recall an article I wrote a few years ago addressing John Williams, his hyperinflation lunacy and manipulation of the gold market by hacks like Williams. Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions The analysis was so compelling even Kitco's senior gold analyst made a point to reach out and congratulate me on my work. Imagine that. The senior analyst for a gold company making applauding my analysis exposing the gold pumping scene. Kitco Senior Gold Analyst Agrees with My Views on Gold Although I intended to blast Williams a few years earlier than 2011, I simply had no time. Even still, the release of this landmark article positioned me as at least the first if not the only person in the world to have irrefutibly debunked Williams and his ri...
Listen as this average Joe tells his story about Mike Maloney. Unfortunately, his situation is representative of millions of others just like him who have been fed a bag of lies by gold and silver dealers.

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......
Continuing where I left off from last time... Rather than huge manufacturing industries reminiscent of America’s “Old Economy,” the “New Economy” is characterized by high-tech firms large and small. Much of America’s formerly world-leading manufacturing industry has either relocated overseas or has been sold to foreigners. This article was originally written in 2010 as a followup to the material I first wrote about pertaining to US trade policy in my banned 2006 book, America's Financial Apocalypse. This book was not only the ONLY book in the world to have accuractely forecast nearly every major event related to the blow up of the real estate bubble and stock market, but also detailed numerous wide ranging topics that promised to...
No one knows where gold, silver, the stock market or anything else is headed for sure. But one thing level-headed people know for certain... The worst people to seek for guidance and forecasts on gold, silver, stocks, bonds, real estate or any other asset are from those who sell them or get paid to promote them. With the exception of the precious metals industry, the public marketplaces, exchanges or other venues that enable individuals to buy and sell most asset classes like publicly traded securities (stocks and bonds) and real estate are regulated. That means there is some level of accountability that exists because regulators police the system. If a stock broker or real estate agent screws you, there are many avenues available to the victim to seek justice. Thi......
Previously, I published an article illustrating how Greg Zuckerman, author of a book that praised Paulson as some investment God, has lost all credibility as a journalist now that the facts have surfaced about how Paulson made his big score. Have a look. Next, I published a piece showing how Zuckerman went into damage control mode, after the SEC released its complaint alledging fraud against Goldman Sachs, while mysteriously absolving Paulson of any wrongdoing. He wrote a piece that still claimed it was a "bet" rather than fraud. Have a look. I wanted to publish an email I sent to a reporter from the Slate, an online “news” site owned by the Washington Post. In the past, I have discussed how many newspapers have start...
The Savings & Loan Crisis had Michael Milken. The dotcom charade had Bernie Ebbers, Kenneth Lay, and Jeffery Skilling. These men have been selected as the scapegoats to distract the public away from the real criminals that caused each crisis. And now, the world’s largest real estate and banking crisis – much larger than all previous heists combined – has Bernie Madoff. He will serve the same purpose. Michael Milken was certainly involved in the S&L crisis, but he wasn’t the only villain. After only serving a couple of years (for good behavior) at Club Fed, he returned to society a very wealthy man. What other type of behavior besides “good” is possible at Club Fed? Milken was certainly a scapegoat of the S&L crisis, but he certainly was...
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, he was a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal.
You might recall when "famed" economics professor turned reporter, Paul Krugman recently told White Americans that "they're losing their country," and "they aren't the future." In the past I've stated that Paul Krugman has no real credibility as an economist. Even worse, Krugman pushes a dangerous leftist ideology along with irresponsible economic policies which have been nothing short of a disaster for America and other western nations. I’ve previously provided examples supportive of my claims which have included discussions from works that led to Krugman's Nobel prize in economics. In short, much of Krugman's work in the field of economics amounts to simpleton ideas underlying the notion of economies of scale. Perhaps this explains why he left aca...
Do you ever become confused over daily economic data? If not, then you probably aren’t paying close attention. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you don’t pay real close attention and spend a good deal of time analyzing what’s really going on, you’re probably better off not paying any attention to the data at all because it is designed to confuse you; to manipulate the truth.
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:
May 1, 2016 Update #2: After this article and video were published, we learned that Katie Johnson has filed a lawsuit in California alleging that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted and raped her and another girl (aged 12) on numerous occassions when she was only 13 years old back in 1994. According to the lawsuit, there was an eyewitness to all of these sick acts; a former "party planner" for Epstein's child sex parties who claims to have been present during all sex acts between Epstein's child sex slaves and his inner circle of high profile pedophiles (most of which were Jewish). The planner alleges that Epstein wanted to know everything that happened during these sick encounters in order to use to obtain insider information for use in the stock market. Apparentl......
Do you remember when Peter Schiff was telling millions of sheep that the US will encounter hyperinflation so they needed to exchange their dollars for "safe currencies" like the euro? We all saw what happened to the US dollar versus the euro. And hyperinflation never even came close to hitting the US, just as I predicted several years ago. Don't Bet On Hyperinflation Peter Schiff: Wrong On The Economy, Wrong On Healthcare (Part 1) Why Hyperinflation Isn't Coming To The U.S. Dismantling John Williams' Hyperinflation Predictions Ironically, hyperinflation has however reached one of Schiff's main areas he recommends to invest in - Latin America! Unfortunately for Schiff and his sheep, Euro Pacific Capital's Latin Ame...
Continuing from Part 1, I basically handed the ingredients for a Pulitzer to a few reporters from the New York Times and LA Times, but they were too ignorant and arrogant to recognize the full value of my donation. Alternatively, perhaps they were told not to pursue things by their superiors due to the ramifications to the banking cartel and the SEC. Either way, the truth was hidden from you. Let me elaborate a bit. You see, last year, I sent these journalists my 30-page formal report to the SEC which showed clear insider trading in WaMu. As well, I discussed how the banking cartel took WaMu down illegally (and possibly conspired) via naked short sales, knowing that one of the members of this cartel would be able to buy up their assets at pennies on the dollar...
