Published on July 16, 2011. Updated on July 18, 2011.   I have not yet had the time to address the latest clown out there, Porter Stansberry with his BS video being pumped on conspiracy radio shows and even being advertised on TV.  Here I will make some brief comments regarding this slimy moron. To be honest, I feel it beneath me to even discuss these clowns. I only do it to warn people who might be lured to their hypnotic marketing ads and ridiculous claims. First, Stansberry is perhaps amongst the worst of the marketing clowns. That would place him in the same ranks with Martin Weiss, Agora Financial, and many other guys who try to get you to hand over $5000 for a membership into their secret "alliance" or "society" of BS.  See...

I hate repeating myself over and over. Who doesn't right?   Well, it's especially cumbersome to repeat oneself when the only form of communication you have is writing (albeit with extremely limited distribution due to being banned by the media and Internet). So I wanted to post a few articles from a couple of years ago so that you can see I was right about things. As you read these articles, I want you to think how the media, Washington and Wall Street have continued to lie. 

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

The financial media always introduces Jim Rogers as some kind of investment superstar.  This pitch is made to lure a larger audience, which results in more advertisement revenues for the media firm regardless of whether its print, Internet or broadcast media.    But if you think Jim Rogers is a "great" investor, it's because you haven't checked his track record for yourself.  In other words, you trust the financial media. This is a huge mistake. The financial media is the enemy of individual investors. The fact of the matter is that the financial media seeks to profit at the expense of its audience.    Once you understand how the financial media operates, you'll realize its objective is to make money while misleading you by promoting con artists, c...

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...

As you watch this interview from 1980, I want you to notice how Casey is questioned by the audience. Members of the audience question Doug Casey's credibility as well as his motives.

You might be wondering why a leading investment strategist would harp on the media so much. Well, friends, the fact is that understanding the tricks and motives of the media is the single most important step towards becoming a great investor. I hope you see that by now. Whether you do or not, I’m going to beat it into your head. So allow me to continue where I left off from Part I of this series.  Kudlow has my book, as does Cramer and several other useless clowns and shills in both print and broadcast media. And they’ve had it for two years, giving them more than ample time to realize what to expect. Why is this important? Because the book predicted everything in detail unlike no one else.

Industries to Avoid. Industries to Buy Despite Buffett's Many Inexcusable Failures, the Criminal Media Continues to Promote Him as the "Greatest Investor Ever."  But let us not forget the media also claims that contrarian indicators and clowns like Peter Schiff, Harry Dent, Jim Rickards, Jim Rogers, Jim Cramer, Marc Faber and dozens of others (all which happen to be Jewish) are "experts."  Think about it folks. You're being screwed by the criminal media. During the 2008 financial crisis, Warren Buffett began buying stocks only after he was tipped off that a government bailout would be passed. And he got in first using nonpublic information qualifies as securities......

If you do not want to hear cursing please do not listen to this audio.

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...

Before I say a few things about Stefan Molyneux, it's very important to keep in mind that he's a libertarian and an Alt-Right supporter.    Why is it so important to mention these things? Because both groups are not only huge frauds, they're also run by Jewish frauds. Remember, you are judged by the company you keep.  And yes, Molyneux is Jewish.  Jews seem to be quite pervasive in the area of scams, don't they? Whether it's on Wall Street, the insurance industry, in the media, or various mind control scams from Scientology to MLMs, LGAT, NLP, life coaching, etc., Jews are almost always leading the pack.  But I didn't need to learn that Molyneux is a libertarian or even an Alt-Right supporter to realize he's a fraud. Molyneux revealed himself to be a fr...

Some of the world's biggest con artists went from first trashing cryptocurrencies early on when the market was small, to promoting them once they saw the audience of suckers explode to huge numbers.  Take the case of Tony Robbins, arguably the world's biggest con man...

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...

Okay so let me get this straight. You have a man who served as an official under the Reagan administration, so he was partly responsible for NAFTA. This same man later worked for the Wall Street Journal (and we all know the financial media has an especially high affinity for liars and con artists). Hence, this man has been responsible for destroying the middle class in the USA, as well as having been part of the financial disinformation network that's designed to cause Main Street to lose money.  He is the enemy of the American people. Yet, he begs for their money so he can "pay the expenses" for his blog.

Published on August 7, 2015   That’s right. Those who read America’s Healthcare Solution were not only treated to the world’s most comprehensive and insightful book ever written on US healthcare. They were also provided with an insider’s analysis of telemedicine and healthcare IT. America’s Healthcare Solution, written in 2009, is the first book in the world (and still the ONLY BOOK TO DATE) to discuss telemedicine and healthcare IT from an industry analyst perspective.     The analysis on this subject matter alone is worth several hundred if not several thousand dollars. And it was crafted based on Mike’s direct experience forming telemedicine firms while working in the venture capital industry. As disc......

The second take is always better than the first, but you decide!

Retired congressman Ron Paul has been conning people for decades with his "bad government" lines so as to make it appear as if he is one of the few "good guys" in Washington "fighting for your freedom and liberty."  After all, if voters were led to believe there are at least a few guys fighting for them in Washington they would continue to support America's corporate fascism which has been disguised as a two-party system of "democracy." But his role in government extends beyond offering hope to disenfranchised Americans. For instance, despite common perception Ron Paul has always supported strengthening the military-industrial complex. He cleverly hides this support for massive funding of the military by criticizing wars, but the reality is that he still wants taxpayers' Social S...

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......
