According to Paul, healthcare should be run like mobile phone providers!  Okay let's see. Mobile phone carriers tie you into legally-binding service contracts with extortionist penalties for breaking the contract even when they fail to render services, etc. In fact, America's healthcare is already run like mobile phone providers. That's one reason why healthcare has become such a problem.  See here When the interviewer in the above video (Aaron Task) mentions that most consumers are dissatisfied with their phone carriers, Paul counters with his typical generic reply - "there's too many government regulations on [phone] carriers."  Wrong again Congressman.  It's been selective government regulations (lobbied for by the big industry leaders) that...

In this article, I'm going to blow the lid off of the commodities and futures markets. After I expose this widespread fraud, I am likely to face numerous repercussions by those in the industry who are upset that I have exposed this fraud that no one ever discusses. I'm also going to tell you the secret to making money in the capital markets.

While some would consider Cramer a “stock pumper,” others would consider him their savior. I would consider him the “Dr. Phil” of Wall Street because, similar to Phil, he designs shows based on resolving some controversial issue with the intended goal of helping lost souls. I find it of no surprise that Cramer has made appearances on Dr. Phil. Both are in the same line of work – cheeseball marketing.  At the end of each show both Dr. Phil and Cramer emerge as some sort of “Superman.” In short, both of these shows are more about entertainment than anything else and they create an illusion of “value” for their misguided viewers. While this approach isn't really damaging for the Dr. Phil Show, it can be highly damaging for a show b...

As someone who has been an active participant in the capital markets for nearly two decades, as well as a watchdog for Main Street exposing media spin and deception, consumer fraud, and securities manipulation, perhaps the single most important thing I have learned is the following:

I exposed Ron Paul as a huge scam artist many years ago when he was fooling the masses with his complete pointless and distracting "End the Fed" message.  Why is the "End the Fed" rant pointless and distracting? Because one should focus on things they might possibly affect change rather than obsessing on things that they have no chance whatsoever in changing. Focusing on things that stand zero chance of changing actually serves to distract from real issues that matter and that might be changed. For instance, Ron Paul could have focused on the constant failures of securities regulators to prosecute billionaire criminals who commit various forms of securities fraud. He could also focus his attention on the fact that the hedge fund and private equities industries are stealing ma...

In the November 2010 issue of the Intelligent Investor newsletter, our Chief Investment and Trading Strategist, Mike Stathis added Atheros Communications (ATHR) to his recommended list. At that time, shares were selling for around $32. In December, Mike reiterated his bullish sentiment for ATHR. Most investors hadn’t heard much about ATHR. This is a company that managed to keep a relatively low profile over the years, although it had quickly emerged as a leader in Wi-Fi devices. Mike had been following ATHR for over five years and knew the company well. During that period, he had traded in and out of the stock. In November 2010, Mike made the call to get back in again. The following month, Qualcomm (QCOM) announced an all-cash buyout, valuing ATHR at just under......

Approximately three months weeks ago the U.S. markets began to correct. We warned about this first correction in the May issue of our firms paid research publications.

Once again, Mike Stathis nailed the most recent market sell off in April.

Amidst the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression (if not ever) and the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, (the real estate-banking Ponzi scheme) not one of the 65 Pulitzer Prizes was awarded for coverage of the events surrounding the “financial crisis.” Ironically, the media has yet to identify this crisis as the biggest Ponzi scheme ever, confirming their incompetence. Disgraceful? Yes. Surprising? No. It’s all about content. It’s always been about content. Valuable content drives readers, listeners and viewers, which appeals to sponsors. Valuable content is highly treasured because it’s so rare today. This relationship generates healthy revenues for newspapers and more business for their sponsors. But media executives disagree. T...

As many of you may know, on March 27, 2008, Ford (F) completed negotiations to sell its Jaguar and Land Rover divisions to Tata Motors (TTM), a division of the Indian conglomerate Tata Group. The deal went for a reported $2.3 billion, despite Ford’s original cost of $5.2 billion for the duo ($2.5 billion for Jaguar in 1989 and $2.7 billion for Land Rover in 2000). However, after Ford pays $600 million into the pension funds of these companies, the deal will only net them $1.7 billion. But with total losses exceeding $15 billion in just the past two years alone, Ford was clearly desperate. It had no choice. It needed cash, and fast. This article was originally written in 2008 as a followup to the material I first wrote about pertaining to US trade policy in my banned 2006 book,...

Ever since (finally) acknowledging the problems within the real estate and banking industries, several historic actions have been taken by Washington, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury – all in desperation.

I Repeat… I continue to be amazed by so many out there, from the pundits with their agendas to the so-called experts who zoom in on every grain of short-term optimism with an electron microscope while explaining away the reality. Not much has changed since I last wrote. Let me repeat in case you haven’t been following me. We are going to see… - An earnings meltdown - Hundreds of bank failures over the next few years - Hundreds of hedge fund blow ups - Soaring corporate defaults (already beginning) - A huge junk bond market (soon to come) - A large oil correction which will rebound and make new highs down the road (in progress) - Real estate prices collapse by 30% (35% worst case scenario)

Are you looking for a financial adviser? Well take a close look at Neil Gallagher, an Ivy League educated Ph.D., otherwise known as the "Money Doctor."  Note: anyone who uses some kind of catchy name like the "Money Doctor" should always be suspected of being a con artist.  Aside from his impressive "Ivy League" credentials (it's odd that he never discloses what his Ph.D. is in) Gallagher is likely to appeal to many folks due to his strong and vocal belief in Christianity.  He's also a libertarian, so he's likely to lure many more suckers. I've previous exposed the fact that the libertarian pitch is a huge con designed to suck money from you while preaching "freedom and liberty."   Perhaps you know of some other libertarian financial advisers.

For several years now, I have been doing my best to expose Wall Street criminals, the tactics of the criminal financial media and the doomsday gold charlatans. I have exposed how the Securities and Exchange Commission serves as a partner in crime with Wall Street. I have exposed various Wall Street scams. I have exposed various acts of insider trading as well as a long list of pump-and-dump schemes. I have exposed a very long list of con men, idiots and faux heroes.   I provides more details about Maloney in the Members/Client section of this article.   I have also debunked all of the ridiculous myths put out by precious metals charlatans regarding the economy, the stock and bond markets, gold and silver. I have published hundreds of ar...

First, before you begin to read this typical example of subtle hack journalism, I want you to have a look at the ad for Ron Insana. Apparently, this former CNBC hack has teamed up with Cramer and thestreet.com for a new gig.  I’ll discuss him in the near future.  Next, have a look at the ad below. You’ll see a guy who looks like Kojac’s son; just another useless trading service with bogus claims, headed by dirt bags with no professional industry experience or insights. If you think I'm wrong, I invite you to fork over your money to this clown.

While still working on Wall Street, I began recommending gold in late 2001 to my clients just when the bull market had commenced. As you might imagine, it was very difficult to convince older investors that gold was beginning to enter a bull market after it had done nothing for nearly two decades. By 2006, I felt this bull market was still in the early stages when my gold forecast was officially published in America’s Financial Apocalypse. A good portion of this forecast included the effect of propaganda on the price of gold as the collapse began. Up until the past couple of years there have been some real drivers of the gold bull market. In contrast, over the past couple of years the massive wave of propaganda delivered by an enormous network of gold hacks has been the primary...

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.

Do you remember all of the forecasts and debates from the various jug heads in the media regarding when the Fed would raise interest rates in 2016? As you might recall, this circus show was even more ridiculous than the one that took place in 2015. The interest rate kosher drama of 2016 even featured absurd "predictions" and "forecasts" from several top Fed officials. For both 2015 and 2016, the overwhelming theme surrounding interest rate forecasts by the various "geniuses" promoted by the media was constant flip flopping after missing the mark over and over again. In contrast, Mike Stathis pointed to a single 25 basis point rate hike for 2015 and 2016 early on when everyone else was forecasting three, four and even more rate hikes each year. Furthermore, as our research cl......

If you look around on the various gold bug web sites, you are likely to see the same crowd posting the same lines of hyperinflation and everything else they can conjure up in order to scare people into loading up on excessive amounts of physical gold. Note the emphasis on “physical gold” rather than gold ETFs.

I've been telling you that all of the alternatives to Wall Street, whether it's the online brokers like Charles Schwab or E-Trade, the financial pundits in the media, or the traditional investment newsletter guys - are all sleeping in the same bed together.  Why might this be? because the best way to make the most money is to unite! Later on, you might want to refresh your memory how the media acts to screw you, by checking this list of media articles. Today, I provide another eye-opening look at the deep relations that all of the guys in the media club have with each other.  First, let's go back a year when I wrote about Martin Weiss.
