I’m the publisher of Stansberry Churchouse Research, a Singapore- and Hong Kong-based independent investment research firm and financial publisher.
I’ve spent most of the past 25 years exploring and analyzing global markets. I’ve had a front-row seat in epic market busts and catastrophic booms… where stocks go to zero, and others rise 10,000%. I’ve seen liars make millions and honest people go broke.
And I know how banks and brokers and fund managers and private bankers talk to their customers…. because for a lot of my career, I’ve been on that side of the table.
I’ve been a stock analyst and research director for a big emerging market investment bank, managed a hedge fund, and sold mutual funds to private bankers. I’ve advised Fortune 50 companies on political risk and helped build stock exchanges from scratch in countries that few people could find on a map. I’ve lived and worked in ten countries, from Spain to Russia to Sri Lanka to the United States.
I’ve been quoted in the Economist, The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and Bloomberg. I’ve appeared on Fox Business News, China Central Television, Bloomberg TV, and elsewhere. I’ve written commentary for the Wall Street Journal, Slate.com, Salon, TheStreet.com, Global Finance magazine, breakingviews.com, and other publications.
Along the way, I’ve learned something about how markets work… and what matters (and doesn’t matter) in the world of investing. I’ve also learned a lot about how the world of finance twists the truth… how those who you think are looking out for your financial interests are actually looking out for themselves. I see it every day.
