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.
Campus unrest is the worst it’s been since the Vietnam War era. But colleges have much bigger problems. A major Baby Bust is underway and it’s going to change the face of society.
Just a few weeks ago, most people believed we’d still get rate cuts this year. I wasn’t one of them. But I’m no longer alone in my forecast. Now, it looks like rate hikes could even be possible. So what’s an investor to do?
We’re closing in on $35 trillion… Current budget deficits are far north of 6% of GDP… Neither presidential candidate has expressed any interest in restoring fiscal sanity… And the Federal Reserve, up until very recently, was still enthusiastically planning to cut rates even in the face of persistent inflation. You’d be insane to have any faith at all in the U.S. dollar. And yet, somehow, it gets worse.
Most of Millennials and Gen Z-ers have never actually experienced true capitalism, real economic freedom, and the wisdom of the “invisible hand.”
For anyone still holding out hopes that the Federal Reserve might be cutting rates soon, Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments yesterday should have put those hopes out to pasture…
In the spirit of Tax Day, let’s stop for a minute to consider where all of your tax dollars go… and highlight some of the truly asinine things Uncle Sam has chosen to waste our money on.
