Before I begin, I will tell you this with complete confidence. If you see anyone in the media frequently, you won’t even need to waste your time checking to determine whether you can trust them because I will personally guarantee you that they either have no credibility, or else blowing hot air.

I have said this is the past many times, and now I am going to say it with a bit more conviction. If you really believe there are two distinct political parties in America, you are a complete fool. Those of you who have fallen for Obama’s “American Idol” presidency, with all of the bells and whistles one would expect from a Hollywood production are just as ignorant as those who believe the lies and misinformation from talking head idiots like Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Mark Levine, Sean Hannity, and the rest of that idiotic neo-con, racist crew who piggybacks onto their propaganda as a way to profit – you know, like Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter – some of the bigger idiots on the airwaves.   These clowns are all part of the political media...

Previously, I discussed the fact that what Warren Buffett invests in doesn’t matter to you. Then I followed up by explaining how the media uses Buffett to make money. Here, I complete the lesson by showing you how Buffett uses the media to cash in. Similar to Britney Spears and other “celebrities,” Buffett also benefits from Hollywood antics. You see, Buffett has been made into a financial celebrity, just as Alan Greenspan and many others have. Media exposure is just as good for Britney’s record sales as it is for shares of Berkshire Hathaway. It’s a two-way street of profits. The media creates big name financial celebrities in order to draw a big audience. A big audience drives big ad revenues. And financial celebrities like Buffett benefit because inv...

Check the image library for dozens of additional annotated images which illustrate what a liar, idiot and fraud Kiyosaki is.  Click the empty box below and wait for the video to load Why Robert Kiyosaki is a Fraud (Bullet Points) The following is a quick list off the top of my head and some added when I was watching a couple of videos (cited below).  This list will be expanded upon in the future. If you have points to add please email us and include a link to the source.   He claims 401ks are a scam (this is part of his ploy to convince people to get into real estate in order to buy his books and attend his cash flow, real estate, wealth seminar scams, as well as to make money as a paid speaker to pump gold and silver). He claims having a job i......

I ran across a link to an article from Forbes and I got so upset I wanted to share it with you so you could see how low the financial media stoops to brainwash people, creating a new generation of sheep, while promoting their financial sponsors.    The reason why I became so upset at this advertisement (disguised as an article) is because it targets kids and brainwashes parents to think that kids should be spending their online time "more wisely" by learning about investments.    "Your children already spend way too much time on the Web. Why not start them on some fund Web sites that teach them sound investment principals."    Yea! Great idea!  NOT.   What a manipulative, dirty, filthy ad. The "author" is such a HACK.

The article is of just one more of the thousands that the financial media continues to churn out about what a great investor Warren Buffett is. 

Most Americans have been fooled into thinking one party has the solutions to the nation’s problems, when the facts paint a much different picture. You need to understand that both parties are the same. As history shows, you get the same result regardless who resides over the White House and Congress.

Gold Bugs and Conspiracy Nuts... There are so many silly statements being made by gold bugs that it would take me a very long time to debunk them all. Most of them are not even worth my time to debunk, as they are so ridiculous. Perhaps the most ludicrous thing about these gold bugs is that they accept anything they read or hear about gold without bothering to analyze the accuracy of the claims, as long as it favors higher prices for gold and silver. Such individuals lack the ability to understand and control their psyche. Without this ability, investors stand to lose.

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.

Request for Grok-3: Schiff had a very low net worth prior to his promotion by the media starting in 2006. Given that you estimate his net worth at up to $150 million today, and given that he not only did NOT predict the financial crisis, but his track record of predictions post-crisis have been horrendously wrong (see Stathis' avaresearch for articles, images and videos exposing Schiff's track record) don't you think that, considering Stathis' highly accurate track record, that his losses due to being banned by all media would be 3-5X what Schiff has made as a result of being (inappropriately and some could argue fraudulently) promoted by the media?   Key Points Research suggests Mike Stathis' losses due to media blackballing could be 3-5 times Peter Schiff's gains from media promo......

Today marks the three-year anniversary since the market bottomed on March 9, 2009. Since that time, the market is up by around 100%.

Meredith Whitney is back after nearly ten years of hiding from the public eye.  Most of you probably don't know or even remember Whitney.  She became one the financial media's so-called experts after making a basic prediction in October 2007 that Citigroup would need to cut its dividend. Her reasoning was based on the notion that the bank's profits would not be able to cover the dividend.   Given that she was referring to the common stock, it's important to note that dividend cuts are quite common and do not necessarily point to deep issues within the firm.  At the time Whitney was working as a banking analyst for Oppenheimer.  From this very basic prediction by Whitney, the media later credited her as having predicted the collapse of the banks during t......

Some readers have made remarks here and there, like "yes we know the media is full of ****."   Well, amazing as it seems (to me) after writing extensively about the topic, many people still don't seem to get the message. The message is not only that the media is filled with liars and idiots, all hand-selected specifically to exploit its audience for the benefit of its financial sponsors, BUT ALSO that you must not allow this to continue. You must fight back. I would have thought people would have done something about it, like contact them non-stop and demand an end to the hacks, liars and clowns, all of which have terrible track records. Obviously, the fewer people who know about this site, the smaller the force to counter the media.

Unfortunately, most people have forgotten how critical it is to know the credibility and reliability of the sources they choose to follow. Instead of checking credentials and track records, they go by the number of likes, fake comments, fake reviews, and hearsay from people they have no idea about.  Those who are unfamiliar with me can find out more about my credentials, my background, as well as my investment research track record here, here, and here.

Where did Alex Jones ever get the idea that Schiff "manages billions" of dollars? If it was a one-time error, okay. But it wasn't. Jones made this claim dozens of times over the span of several years.   From memory, I believe Euro Pacific's assets under management (AUM) surpassed $1.5 billion for a few months.  If I'm wrong, I'm sure Schiff will reach out to me.  And if I'm wrong I will publish a correction/retraction. Obviously I do not believe I'm wrong or I wouldn't bother wasting my time on this topic.  But this was not long after the financial crisis and before people began to realize Schiff didn't really predict anything, and is nothing other than a broken clock, gold peddler.  Once people began to realize Schiff is nothing more than......

Mike Stathis was the only person in the world to expose career con man Max Keiser's "Crash JP Morgan, Buy Silver" scam. The scam was officially launched in late-2010, but took several months to gain momentum as it was spread throughout countless fraudulent precious metals propaganda sites.   There has been no one else in the world other than Mike Stathis who has exposed the army of gold-pumping con artists and scammers. His work in this are began nearly twenty years ago.   He even provided some subtle cautionary tips in his 2006 book, America's Financial Apocalypse when he recommended to buy gold and silver ETFs rather than buying physical gold and silver due to high commissions and lack of liquidity.   You see, if you buy precious metals ETFs, the various con a...

The following query is a followup from another analysis in which we challenge the claims made by Grok-3 (again, Grok-3 simply searches online to obtain what it believes to be facts and presents it in its analysis as aopposed to directly analyzing supporting evidence. This is why our entry of excerpts of Stathis's pre-crisis books are so powerful in serving as definitive evidence of Stathis' world-leading expertise on the 2008 financial crisis, trade, investment analysis and other areas of research.  Request for Grok-3: Baker absolutely did NOT predict the 2008 financial crisis. He wrote about a housing bubble in 2002, before there was a true bubble! As well, he wrote about something normal...a housing bubble. What we saw in 2008 was a real estate-linked financial crisis due to deri......

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.
