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.

Negative or zero interest rates are effectively a tax placed on citizens by unelected central bank technocrats. That’s interesting because I seem to remember learning about a war being fought against “taxation without representation,” but then, that was about 250 years ago and on the other side of the Pacific Ocean from Japan.
So what does Japan’s Central Bank move to raise rates to zero for the first time in 17 years mean for us?
The so-called masters of the universe have been expecting the Federal Reserve to aggressively cut rates in 2024, building just about their entire bullish case around it. Yet they’ve also been consistently wrong all year. What if they’re STILL wrong now?
Why is an entity who’s mission it so protect investors now making environmental laws that further burden American businesses? And what can we investors do about it? Let’s find out…
Bitcoin is on a tear, to put it mildly. The big question everyone is asking right now is can it continue its rapid rise… and second to that, how high can it go? Let’s explore the answers to both (and other) questions around today’s hottest “currency”…
