As the rumors of Sears' (SHLD) announcement of bankruptcy proceedings build, it's a good time to reflect on the past. Below is a blast from the past whereby Mike Stathis not only predicted an eventual bankruptcy for Sears years in advance, he actually "guaranteed" it would happen.    Those of you who have been following Mr. Stathis for some time probably also recall that he made the same guarantee regarding RadioShack (RSH) several years before it's bankrutcy.  He's also gone on record as early as 2011 predicting bankruptcy for JC Penny (JCP) during a time when "genius" fund managers such as George Soros, Bill Ackman and Kyle Bass were stockpiling millions of shares. According to Mr. Stathis "Only a fool would have bought Sears, RadioShack or JCPenny anytime afte...

Any guesses as to who I'm referring to?  Certainly there are hundreds of idiots and con men who fall into this category; namely the gold charlatans.  Here is a video that serves as a reminder of how clueless Peter Schiff, Marc Faber, Mike Maloney, Larry Kudlow, Ron Paul and Jim Rogers ARE, HAVE BEEN and CONTINUE TO BE. As a bonus, you will hear from a few spastic, brainless You Tube chumps and fellow gold charlatans.

Do you remember Robert Prechter? Prechter is the fear-mongering clown who runs what he calls an "investment research" firm based on what I consider as a complete bull shit approach known as Elliot Waves.  Sorry Robert, but making accurate market forecasts is much more complex than looking at chart "waves." As I have proven for years, regardless of your credibility or track record, so long as you're Jewish you'll get promoted as an "expert" in the media because Jews run the media. And they practice the most severe and widespread form of discrimination by favoring Jews over everyone else.

Today, I'd like to show you another example illustrating the fact that the financial media is always useless and often dangerous for your investments. Today I've managed to accomplish this task by posting two annotated images below.   Before you read my brief analysis contained in the two images, I'd like you to first read the raw post (the first image below) as an exercise. Although I've already prompted you to the fact that the post is complete garbage, I'd like you to pretend you've come across the article (advertisement) just like any other financial news piece.   And then I want you to ask yourself whether or not you would have come up with the commentary I wrote (be honest).

For the past two or three years now, a new charlatan has risen up from the ranks of the trash bin. Oh and he just happens to be Jewish. Coincidence?  You decide.  This egghead has been getting a great deal of media attention despite the fact that he has no track record, and was nowhere to be seen or heard prior to the financial crisis. One reason why he has no track record is because he has NO asset management training or experience. He is a second-rate attorney who was part of the gang of incompetent schysters at Long-Term Capital Management. This is a man who tries SO HARD to impress his stooge audience that even his pseudo-intellectual demeanor reveals his desperation. Hey Jim boy, you might want to tone down your pseudo-intellectual babble a bit because you so...

A few years ago, we pointed out that the Recommended Securities List created and managed by MIke Stathis, the chief strategist and analyst of AVA Investment Analytics, included the best performing stock in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  The stock was McDonalds (MCD).  And it returned 31% in 2011. Since then, Mike has successfully navigated research clients in and out of MCD, enabling significant reductions in the total cost basis of the stock. Did You Own the BEST PERFORMING Stock in 2011? WE DID Ever since we have been publishing our Recommended Securities Lists, in addition to the accurate active management guidance contained in the research, numerous securities have provided bonus returns for subscribers after having been bought out.  Just a couple examples hav...

Opening Statement from the April 2018 Intelligent Investor  Originally published on April 5, 2018 (pre-market release)   As expected, on March 21 newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Powell announced that the Fed voted to raise short-term interest rates by 25 basis points, pushing rates up to the 1.50% to 1.75% range. During the March meeting the Fed raised its 2019 estimate to three 25 basis point rate hikes, but kept the current three 25 basis point estimate for 2018 unchanged. This was a prudent move since it’s too early to know whether the economy will be strong enough to need four rate hikes in 2018.  We continue to believe short-term interest rates will be raised by at least 75 basis points in 2018 and at least by 50 basis points in 2019. Two Stages of t...

Michael Burry is a fund manager who got lucky after making what was actually a pretty easy bet against the sub-prime mortgages back in 2006.   Incidentally, if you don't understand why his bet was an easy one to make, you have much to learn.  If Burry really knew what was going in 2006, he would have gone to the media and told them about his bets against the sub-primes instead of hiding his bet and waiting to see if it panned out.   Moreover, if Burry really understood what was going on he would have also: 1) Be......

It is by no accident that the Mad Hedge Fund Trader has partnered with the lying scum at Zero Hedge.  It is also by no accident that he, like the main figures behind Zero Hedge refuses to tell you his name. That alone should raise some really big red flags. Why would the Mad Hedge Fund Trader refuse to identify himself? Perhaps it is because this enables him to make claims that are impossible to verify. He claims to have run a hedge fund, but decided to exit the business to focus on managing his personal investments. This is another red flag.  It basically implies that his fund blew up. Think about it, the best way to manage your money as a fund manager is to keep running your hedge fund, that is, if it’s making money. After all, you get 20% of the profits...

Make no mistake about it. Kevin O'Leary is a typical Jewish con artist and media whore who makes all of his money based on false perception compliments of his tribesmen in the media.  Is that a fraudulent business model? I believe it is.   In reality, O'Leary is a business and investment failure. But thanks to the Jewish media which has created this myth that he's some business and investment guru, he's a very wealthy man.  Similar to all media celebrities, O'Leary has made all of his money by deception compliments of the criminally insane Jewish media. These media parasites have created a false narrative that O'Leary is some kind of business and investment guru so that people will line up to hear what he has to say.  And he uses this large audience of sucke......

I see the kind of media fraud shown in the image below multiple times each day, so I thought I'd give everyone a brief tutorial on how the scam works. The scam is really too obvious, but you're not likely to spot it unless you're looking for it. You also need to be aware of the countless clowns who are constantly being promoted by the media despite having no real track record or else a lousy track record.  Remember, always ask why a person is being interviewed or mentioned by the media. And don't assume the person is relevant just because the media says so. You need definitive proof.  Check and see if the "expert" has a good track record.

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...
