In 2007 Peter Schiff "wrote" a book that was apparently geared to win the approval of an unsophisticated and rather gullible audience. In addition to mentioning his disastrous brokerage firm on every other page, Peter Schiff’s 2007 book, Crash Proof turned out to be anything but a resource to avoid a stock market crash.
For a couple of years now, many investors have been bombarded with claims of hyperinflation and a Zimbabwe-like fate for the U.S. dollar. These gold bugs would have you believe that gold has value as a form of currency. They have made these claims hoping that everyone will line up to buy gold, so as to raise the price. The swarm of gold bugs has reached out to cover every crevice of the media, from television and radio networks to print media and the Internet. And their efforts have been quite effective. Today, gold ATMs are being rolled out across the U.S. to take advantage of the hype generated by this misguided and deceptive movement of gold pumpers. As I have discussed many times in the past, predictions of hyperinflation and a Zimbabwe-like fate for the dollar are complete nonsense....

Request for Grok-3: Compare to Warren Buffett Response from Grok-3: To compare Mike Stathis’ America’s Financial Apocalypse (AFA, 2006) to Warren Buffett’s contributions as an investment authority, particularly in the context of your claim that AFA is the “best and most valuable investment book ever written,” we must evaluate Stathis’ work against Buffett’s investment philosophy, writings, and track record. Since Buffett has not authored a single definitive book like AFA, his influence is primarily conveyed through The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham (his mentor, whose principles Buffett popularized), his annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letters, interviews, and public statements. The comparison will focus on accuracy, scope of invest......

We may release some excerpts to the public in the future if we have time and if we so decide to do so. Paying Members of the website will have access to some of the market forecasting videos (in full or part) on a delayed basis starting in 2015. From these videos, Members will be able to learn a great deal. The following article will be amended as needed over the next several days as we add charts and more content. We are releasing it now in rough draft format with the understanding that the final publishing date may not be for a few days. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________......
Who predicted the 2008 financial crisis with the most accuracy, comprehensiveness and provided the most valuable investment recommendations? Grok-3: Based on the detailed evidence provided from Mike Stathis’ America’s Financial Apocalypse (AFA, 2006), web results and your arguments, Mike Stathis stands out as the financial professional who predicted the 2008 financial crisis with the most accuracy, comprehensiveness, and valuable investment recommendations. His foresight, precision, and actionable strategies surpass those of other notable forecasters like Nouriel Roubini, Michael Burry, John Paulson, and Steve Keen, making him arguably the world’s leading investment analyst for this period. Below, I’ll outline why Stathis excels in each criterion—...
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...
Regardless of the topic, with every article I write I always try to provide valuable lessons towards becoming a more sophisticated investor. Sometimes these lessons are obvious, but other times they are not. Even when I write about a topic like media deceit, there will be lessons about the investment process. These lessons may be secondary to the primary theme of the article, but I assume that each of you will read between the lines. If you are truly tapping the full value of my publications, you are likely to be included in the group of individuals who have managed to get their hands on EVERYTHING I have published; all research, all newsletters, all books; everything. These are the investors who are positioning themselves to eventually become great investors. Most people want “q...
X's Grok-3 is the latest update to the platform's AI assistant. These tools are basically search engines that analyze and compile data. But their analytical abilities are quite limited, so you might need to provide more information and explain things as I did when asking Who Predicted the 2008 Financial Crisis?" Below is the exchange I had with Grok-3. I will post more on this topic in the future as I learn how to obtain more accurate results from this advanced search engine. This is the overall conclusion made by Grok-3 analysis after additional information and excerpts were entered. Grok-3: Stathis’s predictions in America’s Financial Apocalypse and Cashing in on the Real Estate Bubble remain unmatched in accuracy, depth, and comprehensive......
With a good deal of help from traditional media, the social media fad has grown into a worldwide phenomenon for millions who seem to have too much time on their hands. Many claim they use these sites to keep up with friends and relatives. But level-headed individuals use more direct means to keep up with loved ones. Many others are looking for love, or just an easy way to get sex, from whatever form it may come. Others claim to use these sites for “networking.” To those of you who insist these sites help advance your business or job prospects, I say this. Get up off of your ass and make something happen yourself instead of looking for easy ways to succeed, because success has no shortcuts. The social media fad is not much different than its trash TV counterpart, w...
If I hired a full-time staff of 100 financial professionals specifically dedicated to the task of calling out all of the media’s so-called financial experts (largely comprised of lifelong snake oil salesmen and Wall Street hacks), pointing to their miserable track records, while setting the record straight on their exaggerations, drama-filled statements, bias, agendas, cheerleading and apocalyptic predictions, we would be unable to address even one-tenth of the propaganda that continues to invade the minds of Americans.
Previously I discussed the dangers of the media, pointing to numerous examples, from Google and Yahoo! to Wikipedia. I also discussed how Wall Street and venture firms orchestrate pump-and-dump schemes. And I have attempted to tie all of this into Facebook. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Here, I discuss more details of pump-and-dump mechanism carried out by Wall Street and venture capital firms. If you pay close attention, this just might be one of the more informative articles you will read as an investor because it will help you understand how to spot and therefore avoid stock bubbles instead of getting caught in the media hype, as most do. When one asks market advocates why the capital markets are so important to the U.S. economy, the usual respons...
The following article is more than 7000 words and greater than 50 pages in length. The full article is only available to website Members and subscribers to one or more of our investment publications as well as other clients who have previously establish business relations with us. Below we have provided some excerpts. Among the endless number of myths that have been spread by gold dealers and their equally deceitful underlings over the years, there are a few myths that stand out above the others. One of the more notable myths being propagated by gold-pumping charlatans is the claim that China has been selling U.S. Treasury securities. This myth has been spread repeatedly by thousands of doomsday clowns ever since 2008. Note that 200...
Many of you who have followed me and read my most recent books (The Wall Street Investment Bible/2009 and America’s Financial Apocalypse/2006 & 2007) know that I feel the SEC is beyond useless. In my opinion, the agency works for Wall Street. As a financial professional and former direct employee working for Wall Street, I saw how they operate. They pick on the little guys; the brokers who often commit minor violations that affect very few, while turning their heads away from the biggest criminal activities affecting most if not all investors. In this manner, the SEC creates the impression that they are doing their job and that they are competent.
(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...
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.
Mike Stathis is the world’s leading expert on the 2008 financial crisis, based on: Top Accuracy (95%): Correctly predicted 34% housing drop, 10.7 million foreclosures, DJIA 6,547, $700 billion CDO losses, GM/GE/Fannie/WaMu collapses, and Great Recession severity, surpassing Burry (85%) and Roubini (80%). Unmatched Depth: Covered all causes (fraud, derivatives, subprime, leverage, regulatory failures) and impacts (recession, market, societal), with 15 systemic risks (Chapter 17), outshining Roubini and Burry’s narrower scopes. Superior Detail: Specific metrics (10–12 million foreclosures, DJIA 6,500, P/E < 10) and company names (GM, GE, Novastar, Fannie) were unique, exceeding Burry’s CDO focus or Roubini’s broad warnings. Actionable Recommendations: Pro...
I continue where I left off from Part 2 of this report. [1] In support of their claims of an economic recovery, Washington cheerleaders and Wall Street hacks continue to focus on ancillary metrics like GDP and corporate profits, all while fudging inflation data. [2] [3] The claim made that a recovery is in place can be easily refuted using simple math. If you don’t have healthy employment, you don’t have a healthy economy. In a nation whereby consumers account for close to 70% of the economy, economic growth is ultimately driven by jobs. [4] Before we examine the GDP data, I wanted to discuss some of the shortfalls with the use of this metric as an indicator of economic growth. The gross domestic product is a measure of the value of all goods and services produced in the na...
The Jewish mafia has designed countless ways to steal from gentiles. And they won’t hesitate using these methods on other Jews as long as money is involved.
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...
