Recently the financial media has been issuing all kinds of statements about the emerging markets in order to create drama and panic.  Does this behavior seem familiar? The financial media is always trying to create some kind of smoke and mirrors drama to get suckers hooked into their programming content so they can sell ads.

Listen to the con man in the video below (who previously went by the fake name Bob English) as he pitches ridiculous disinformation and conspiracies in order to promote gold and scare people out of the stock market. This man was calling himself Bob English in the video which aired ten years ago (2012) when he was working for the disinformation scam blog, Zero Hedge.  Many years later English would ditch this fake name and begin using his real name, Jared Blikre, once he landed a job at Yahoo Finance.  If that sounds suspect to you, follow me as we go down the rabbit hole of media deception and fraud.  

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.

Want to save tens of thousands of dollars? In this article, I tie in numerous aspects of erroneous and deceptive marketing by the mutual fund industry, executed primarily through the business arrangements funds have with the financial media. You will see how virtually every investor has been fooled by these tactics. As a result, they are being taken to the cleaners. I use examples of several of the "best-known" fund managers to illustrate this grand scheme of deception, which I feel constitutes fraud. Previously, I discussed how Legg Mason’s Chief Investment Officer and fund manager of the Legg Mason Value Trust Bill Miller, went from top to bottom in just a few short years. See here for the article on Miller. Part of the blame for Miller’s poor decisions points to th...

Continuing from PART 6 In this series of articles I have been discussing the myths, lies, dreams and delusions about gold, hyperinflation and other nonsense that continues to be flooded into the media by idiots, liars and snake oil salesmen. With so many lying scumbags, snake oil salesmen and profiteers out there, obviously one of the most important skills to have to avoid falling victim to these rascals is to know how to determine whether someone can be a trusted source of information and insight. So how does one determine whether or not to trust the judgment of someone claiming to know more than you about gold, silver, stocks and bonds, real estate or anything else related to investments? Always remember, a person’s views are only as good as their credibility. In th...

It’s a nice scare tactic to feed to Americans. How does Washington know they are too big to fail? How does Washington know their failure would be worse than the consequences of a government bailout? I can guarantee you that no one in Washington has an idea about what Fannie, Freddie and AIG had on their books. If the proper regulations had been in place – regulations that mandated transparency and disclose, we could make a fair assessment. Instead, Washington uses the scare tactic as a way to generate the biggest bailout in world history.  Why would anyone believe Washington’s bogus excuse that these entities were too big to fail when they have been clueless for years? 

This isn’t a spoof. I am 100% serious here. In fact, I spent TWO full weekends of my time researching and writing this article to MAKE SURE you understand what's going on. Some financial professionals are only focused on making money. Others don't bother to alert people about this long list of hucksters because they don't want to open you up to the idea of these scams; they fear you will see through their own deceit. There are some rules that can help you spot scam artists and thus help you avoid falling victim to these guys, which often cause their sheep to lose everything by suckering them into paying huge fees for their “assistance.” Most people undervalue insights from honest and credible individuals that PREVENTS them from making stupid decisions, whether it&rs...

Understand this. The current structure of free trade only benefits U.S. corporations, their wealthy elite shareholders and the most impoverished segment of developing nations. Anyone who tells you free trade in its current form is a good deal is either from corporate America, Washington or from developing nations. Free trade will only work for everyone if the playing field is level. But that is not the case. How can you have fair trade when America’s trading partners have universal healthcare, government pensions, no OHSA or EPA requirements, and subsidized wages? Of course labor will be cheaper in Asia and Latin America because the government pays for expenses companies in America are stuck with. One might imagine that a weak dollar would actually drive domestic job growth or at t...

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).

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...

Maybe there's a good reason why CNBC has a show called Fast Money. If you follow the advice of these guys, your money is likely to evaporate very fast. Likewise, I'm beginning to see why Cramer's show is called Mad Money. You're likely to get mad if you follow his advice. Or maybe you have to be a mad man to watch it.

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.

Even Dr. Phil Gets in on the Action And we can’t forget Dr. Phil; the hick who isn’t even a real doctor. He just plays one on TV. He has a Ph.D. in psychology, not an M.D. in psychiatry.

Originally Published on May 11, 2012 (May 2012 Dividend Gems)   As we enter a new cycle of global macroeconomic risk, the U.S. stock market continues to resist being pulled into the euro zone vortex. Despite having recently declined to a low of 12,689, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has since rallied past 13,350, only to face another retracement. It is now poised to experience a more sizable retracement. While the S&P 500 has faced a similar series of volatile movements, it maintains a technically weaker outlook in coming days/weeks. All things considered, thus far the U.S. market has remained fairly bullish due to continued earnings strength. However, earnings momentum is fading. During the early part of earnings season about 80% of companies beat consensus estimates. As of...

Now we come to the Fannie/Freddie bailout. This is certainly a true bailout; not because taxpayers are on the hook for potentially $5.3 trillion, but because there was a moral hazard established once these formerly government agencies were transformed into publicly traded companies, knowing that if they screwed up they would be bailed out. I’m sick and tired of hearing these excuses by Washington that this company and that is “too big to fail.”  Listen you crooks, if they’re too damn big to fail, they need to be government run to begin with.   Now, the auto industry is looking for their bailout, with 50 billion dollars in low-interest “loans” from Washington. They are using the excuse that they need the money to produce more fuel effici...

I advise investors to use this rally in the financials to your benefit. If you took recent long positions in the financials, you might consider selling soon.  More experienced and aggressive investors might start looking to take short positions soon.  This market is very momentum-driven so you’ll want to wait for signs of a decline before going short. No doubt, the Fed’s bailout plan for Fannie and Freddie has sparked this rally, but it’s not a rally of substance, just misguided confidence.

Robert Kiyosaki continues to push the limits of stupidity.  Kiyosaki's latest pitch shows how confident he is that his cult members are brainless idiots.  His message is basically that "If you buy my board game you will become much smarter."  You can't make this stuff up. Ridiculous shit like this is only possible from career con artists like Kiyosaki.  Remember, this is a guy who claims he's a great source of business and investment advice even though he has filed for bankruptcy several times. As well, he has a long history of terrible investment advice while making unverified claims. But we cannot forget that Kiyosaki also advises you not to go to college. His lines get even more crazy. For instance, he also claims that "jobs are for losers."  As...
