Q1 Results and Where Mainstream Advisors and Media Fail the Average Investor
April 5, 2022 Most investors like to believe they are solely focused on achieving the best returns. Further, they believe they strive to employ the best ideas to build their optimal portfolio.

Take a Look at What They Buried in This Obscure Report
April 21, 2015 Cancun, Mexico Imagine having a net worth of $57 billion. That sounds like a lot. And for the few folks out there like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Vladimir Putin who have racked up such a prodigious amount, it is a lot. But not if you’re the US Federal Reserve.

WHERE DO PRECIOUS METALS GO FROM HERE?
I urge you to consider my arguments for investing in gold and silver, and the miners that extract it. I am holding on to my post 2008 forecast for gold reaching $3-5k per ounce by 2017 (and silver reaching $100) because the world’s largest governments continue their plunge into default, and cannot afford to let interest rates normalize if they don’t want to be forced into a[...]

“Belief That European QE Will Work Is Far-Fetched,” Bill White Warns This Will “End Very Badly”

Investors Still Aren’t Fully Awake to this Dollar Nightmare Yet – MarketWatch
By Shawn Langlois We are back on “patient” watch this week, with the Fed’s potential market-rattling precursor to a rate hike due midweek. Our call of the day predicts that, for now, “patient” will remain in the script and the Fed won’t be rocking the boat on interest rates (more on that below).

by Jeff Thomas Historically, when a nation’s debt exceeds its ability to repay even the interest, it can be assumed that the currency will collapse. Typically, governments exacerbate the situation by printing large amounts of currency notes in an effort to inflate the problem away, or at least postpone it.

At times, Yellen answered curtly and at one point rolled her eyes at[...]

Mac Slavo February 19th, 2015 It’s impossible to predict when and how our economy will finally reach a breaking point, but according to contrarian Shadow Stats economist John Williams it’s coming one way or the other. The only thing we can do now is to prepare for it and that means stockpiling critical supplies, just like you might for an earthquake or snowstorm, but in larger[...]
