Chief Investment Strategist, The Freeport Society
Charles Lewis Sizemore is a market veteran of 20-plus years. Starting at his grandfather’s knee when he was just 10 years old, he has pursued a career dedicated to helping people achieve financial freedom through smart investing.
He holds a Master’s Degree in Finance and Accounting from the London School of Economics and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with an International Emphasis from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude and as a Phi Beta Kappa scholar.
As a keen market observer, economist, investment analyst, and prolific writer, Charles has been a repeat guest on Fox Business, has been quoted in Barron’s Magazine, and has been featured in numerous well-reputed publications and financial websites, including MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, InvestorPlace.com, MSN Money, Seeking Alpha, Stocks, Futures, and Options magazine, The Daily Reckoning, Benzinga, Minyanville, and Investment International.
He also worked alongside best-selling financial author and economic strategist Harry S. Dent Jr. in creating original research on the effects of changing global demographics on asset returns and economic growth.
He was also the editor of the Sizemore Investment Letter and Macro Trend Investor, for which he won the Investor Place Best Stocks competition in 2011, 2013, and 2016.
While Charles enjoys playing basketball and his grandfather’s old saxophone (which he is also teaching his son), Charles’ passion lies in finding investment opportunities that become safe havens for investors navigating this age of chaos. He is intolerant of deception, misdirection, and the endless eroding of the ideals that once made America great. He has taken it upon himself to help investors regain their lives, their liberty, and their wealth.
The world has lost a great man and one of the best investors of all times. So today, in honor of his memory, let’s look back at his life in awe and learn some valuable lessons while we’re at it.
Investor demand for government bonds hasn’t been strong enough to soak up an onslaught of new supply. Yields spiked at the auction earlier this month, meaning the government had to offer a higher rate to get investors to nibble. Something’s not right here. So how can investors protect themselves?
Turns out, pandering to internet “activists” (can we call a troll a troll?) doesn’t translate into growing revenues and happy investors. Worse, it is greatly diminishing the quality of the entertainment being produced, as evidenced by, earlier this month, The Marvels’ spectacular flop. So today we’ll consider the price businesses pay to appease the trolls. And we’ll explore the alternatives that we can invest in.
This year marks a tragic trillion-dollar milestone. Just last month, the annual interest paid on our national debt is estimated to have crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time. Inflation sticking around is inevitable. It may even be intentional. Here’s the kind of inflation protection you need in your portfolio.
Argentina shocked the world on Sunday by electing Javier Milei to be the country’s next president. Why should North Americans care? And how can you prepare for what comes next? Let’s answer those questions.
Let’s get into how stupid Federal Reserve policy played a part in WeWork’s rise… and how slightly less stupid Fed policy brought about the company’s fall. Then, let’s put to rest the notion that the failure of WeWork (not a tech company, despite whatever it may have claimed) is somehow an indicator of Silicon Valley’s downfall.
