Michael Lewis: The Stock Market is Rigged

Michael Lewis, author of “Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt,” explains that High Frequency Traders (HFTs) are in effect stealing from individual investors, pension funds and literally anyone else who ever buys or sells a stock.The HFTs using high speed computer algorithms, fiber wire and other terrifying stuff to pervert the otherwise level playing field on Wall Street. How do they do it? In effect they front-run traders; buying the shares you order faster than you can, then sell them back to you for a profit.

The trading desks of four different major financial institutions posted gains every single day during the first quarter of 2010. The tradings desks of JP Morgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Goldman Sachs (GS) combined posted 244 winning trading days against zero losses.

Does this sound like the type of system you want to be heavily invested in for the future of your retirement and family?

Precious Metals as a Safe Haven

There’s a great wealth transfer taking place right now. Are you on the losing end or the receiving end?

Wealth Transfer Planning

Precious metals have always been a safe haven for investing in high inflationary times. Historically speaking, a recurring cycle that always seems to repeat itself is periods of high inflation as a precursor to the crash of paper currencies. Those who understand this wealth cycle and position themselves in gold and silver are those who prosper.

Precious metals are assets that will never lose their value. They are not subject to systematic risks as paper money and serve as a hedge against inflation and other threats of devaluation. Cornerstone Asset Metals was established to help guide investors safely in and out of the precious metals market.
