I've been on the road for a while. A combination of exciting WMI business...next level stuff....to due diligence for WMI m2/m3 conferences, and of course for the VRA. As I've been writing, Dow 10,000 was a certainty, and it doesn't look like this rally is close to being over. There is simply too much strength in the primary leadership...

The fact that we are already halfway through September, historically the worst investing month of the year, without a sharp drop in the market tells us just how strong the internals continue to be. It also tells us that the market is going to keep rising...for at least a while longer.

That’s right…the m2 announcement from yesterday was not a mistake and did not contain typos. We’re giving away not one, but two homes at the m2 Wealth Conference in Las Vegas, November 15-18. Total Value...$150k to 200k…which is probably still too low of an estimate.

Just back in from a great end of summer vacation/baseball tourney in Maui....summer is over for the Herriage household and it's back to school today. During a layover yesterday I noticed that the market was getting hammered. Then, when I ran my research this morning Isaw that it was not only a 180 point down day,

Hello from Paradise! I'm in the Dom Republic at WMI's Private Wealth Group and this place is beyond gorgeous. What's even more incredible than the scenery however are the WMI Members in attendance. Yes, our WMI family rocks...

THE NEW NORMAL - WHY ANY RECOVERY WILL BE PAINFULLY SLOW Think for a second about where our economic growth came from over the last 10 years or so. We know that consumers have been the primary drivers for the US economy. Because we now manufacture….

Wayne Allyn Root, WMI’s Senior Economic Advisor, the 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee, and a regular personality on FOX News and FOX Business, is declaring “W.A.R” on big government beginning June 6, when “W.A.R: The Wayne Allyn Root Show” debuts in the three largest U.S. radio markets.

Hello from New York, where I will be joining guest host Wayne Allyn Root on the Jerry Doyle radio show today. The show is nationally syndicated and is one of the highest rated radio talk shows in America with millions of listeners each day. The show runs from 3-6pm est, and I will be on at approximately5 pm est.

April unemployment showed the U.S. losing 539,000 jobs, versus the 600,000 estimate, bringing the unemployment rate to 8.9%. U4, the unemployment rate that includes those that have stopped looking for work and those that are working just part time, now stands at 16%.

Before I get to the market forecast for the week, just a quick reminder that this IS a bear market rally, and once it ends: "Too-big-to-fail" banks like Bank of America andCitigroup, and corporations like Chrysler and General Motors, WILL ultimately be allowed to fail; …

Google's earnings report after the close of trading showed that while they beat the estimates pretty handily, growth is clearly showing due to a decrease in ad sales. Initially the stock traded over $20 higher to $400 + before ending at $388, up $9 on the day. any of the key financials closed lower, reversing earlier gains. Goldman, Wells Fargo,

Meridith Whitney, another of the top ranked bank analysts, and one that has been dead right on the insolvency issues surrounding the industry over the last couple of years, came on CNBC to say that the first quarter earnings results should not be as bad as some have feared.

MARK TO MARKET ACCOUNTING CHANGES Could the wheels be coming off of the bear market rally already? It’s certainly possible, but I think it’s more likely that either late Monday…or certainly sometime on Tuesday we will begin to see the markets head higher again. Here’s why:

Assuming that the market doesn’t fall apart today (down 120 points now but I think it may even close positive), today will mark the single best week we’ve had in the market since late December and for the first time in a long time I’m seeing some constructive market internals (new highs/lows,

While I expect the bear market rally to continue for a short while longer there is no evidence that I can find whatsoever that we have reached a final bottom in this once of a lifetime collapse in equities and the economy. Here’s what you have to remember about bear market rallies; they happen incredibly quickly…

As I wrote yesterday morning for VRA subscribers, a bear market rally is upon us and it’s obvious even to the most newbie of investors that this one was highly coordinated at both the government and corporate levels. Yes folks, the fix was in for a stock market rally, which tells you that they are very concerned….beyond that, frightened,

One by one, U.S. and global leaders are lining up to talk up their respective schemes to end this once in a lifetime economic collapse. Collectively they are putting on a unified road show to ensure us pawns that the trillions upon trillions being spent on massive, never-before-seen global bailouts will in fact work,

Unfortunately, this is all that’s holding our fragile economy and financial system together as we enter this most important week of trading. The band aids are the fiscal stimulus programs and government (see taxpayer) funded bailouts of the banking and financial industries.

Day after day we hear from one elected/appointed official after another, each telling us that things are under control because they have a “plan”. Mostly it sounds to me like they have a “plan for a plan”, and that in fact, they have little to no experience in actually running a business,

Following my update, I have included an article from one of the foremost economic analysts of our time, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard. He called the subprime crisis just 6 months before it hit, and this weekend came out with extraordinary comments about the banking …
