WEEKEND UPDATE
November 12-3, 2016
Greetings!

The investment world is awash in people peddling certainties about what will happen to the markets as we prepare to wind down 2016 and begin the Trump presidency... but that is all, of course, a bunch of hot air.  We all have guesses about what will happen, and our 24-hour news obsession means we have to fill the air with those guesses whenever little clues emerge from each new appointment or meeting or public statement, but never, at least in modern times, has there been a more unpredictable person preparing for inauguration.  Is President-elect Trump really intent on following the most extreme of his promises?  What details will be filled in when it comes to the as-yet-unclear substance of those promises?  Will he be a "normal" politician in the end?  Will the rest of his party in Washington follow his lead on anything, or on everything?  What will be done in Washington in the lame duck session, if anything?  Beats the heck out of me... I'm not betting big on any particular outcome right now, despite the market's rapid and exuberant move this week to to celebrate a fully Republican government, and the lower taxes and lighter regulatory burden they expect that means.  Hopefully some wisdom will fall upon me in the weeks ahead.  

In the meantime, shall we catch up on what some of the investment promises were in the week that was?  Just read on for that...

A strange video appeared on the Internet warning of a coming change to our economy. Could it all be coming true?

We started the week, on the eve of election uncertainty, with a look at Frank Curzio's "Billionaire Gold Syndicate" pitch -- he thinks he's got a stock that can return 32X your money... and, indeed, that he even has a better deal on the stock than you could get elsewhere.  So what's the story?  Click here for those details.

Several eagle-eyed readers have sent in a pitch from Manny Backus' newsletter empire this week, the ad promotes their Triple Digit Profits by promising to reveal the name of the $12 stock that Matthew Carr says will "save the internet" and soar to $85 in the near future.  So what is it? Thinkolator answers here.

Michael Robinson's Radical Technology Profits is talking up "ET-73" as a hugely valuable cancer cure... and he says he has a secret "prospectus" for you that will let you buy shares.  What's he talking about?  Click here for our story.

And we also heard from Nicholas Vardy this week, with an ad about a company that he calls a "Tesla Clone" -- a company that makes more electric cars than Tesla, and with more "profit power"... so what's he talking about?  Click here for that one.

And finally, I tried to crunch out a little wisdom for the Irregulars in the Friday File, which this week was focused on Doug Casey's "three catalysts" for gold and a quick teaser answer about what they're calling Casey's "biggest bet" on gold... our favorite members can read that here.
