For nearly three years we have been discussing important global macroeconomic trends in order to assess the progress and risks of what has been labeled a global economic “recovery.” The illusion accounting for these improvements was created by a global release of trillions of dollars. One of the most prominent characteristics of this “recovery” is that it has been lop-sided, with advanced nations showing very little progress on many fronts. While Australia and Canada have fared relatively well, the U.S., U.K., Japan and Europe have continued to stall, despite claims made by officials and the media that a recovery is in progress. In contrast, emerging nations have performed particularly well. Asia and much of Latin America experienced a recession of short duration. Brazil spent the...

The images below should serve to remind everyone about the clowns promoted by the media as "experts." Instead of valuable insight, these clowns pitch a fear and doom narrative to the masses of unintelligent individuals who are too naive to realize when they're being conned. Remember folks, these broken clocks are pitching a fictional narratives that never change. You will never make money in the long run listening to broken clocks.  This should be obvious at this point. If it isn't then you have a short memory. You also have a great deal of financial pain in your future.  Check the track records of Faber, Schiff, Rogers and the rest of this crowd and you'll see what I mean.  And if you actually think these clowns have even a decent track record, all I can say is may...

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)

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...

If you lost money in gold, silver or precious metals stocks (including the so-called junior miners) you really need to read this article and listen to the recorded conversation I had with a Sprott employee. I guarantee you it's going to be very revealing.      I'm not going to disclose much about this presentation to the public. Only Members and Clients will get full access to the results of my investigation into Sprott Asset Management and Eric Sprott. All I will say is that my research confirmed what I already knew. This 30-page article continues below for Members and Clients.  Mike Stathis holds the leading investment forecasting track record in the world since 2006. In fact, he is the only person we know of to have ever attached a $100,000 reward a...

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.

Who is Chris Martenson?  Is He Legit?  And is He on Your Side?   In this 3-year investigation of Martenson, we lay out the details of how this snake has elbowed his way into the gold charlatan network in this 60-page report. We issued a warning about Martenson a while back, knowing well what he was up to, but we just did not have the time to do the investigation and write-up required to present a bullet-proof analysis. Click here to read our previous warning. More recently, we exposed what a complete clown Martenson is by showing his predictions on commodities and the US stock market. Click here and here to view Parts 1 & 2 of this video presentation, respectively. The full report on Chris Martenson can be found in our famous Encyclopedia of Bozos,...
