Chief Investment Strategist, The Freeport Society
Starting at his grandfather’s knee when he was just 10 years old, Charles Sizemore has pursued a career dedicated to helping people achieve financial freedom through smart investing.
Charles has advised multiple hedge funds globally and managed over $120 million in assets.
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, 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, quoted in Barron’s, and featured in numerous well-reputed publications and financial websites, including MarketWatch, TheStreet, InvestorPlace, MSN Money, Seeking Alpha, Stocks, Futures and Options Magazine, The Daily Reckoning, Benzinga, Minyanville, and Investment International.
While Charles enjoys playing basketball and his grandfather’s old saxophone (which he is also teaching his son), his 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 is fiercely determined to help investors regain their lives, their liberty, and their wealth.
Charles’s publications and investment research services include:
As of this morning, the futures markets are pricing in a 93.8% chance that Powell cuts by 0.25% and a 6.2% chance he lops it by a full 0.5%. But is this a good thing? Not so much…
And every year, investors make the same mistake. August is often the start of a seasonally weak period for stocks. Trading volumes thin out, Wall Street’s biggest players go on vacation, and volatility tends to pick up. It’s a set of conditions that make it far too easy to make the single biggest mistake investors can make.
It’s almost nonsensical to talk about “the economy,” because it’s wildly different depending on where you look. The tech sector is booming, and most white-collar and creative jobs are still in good shape.
But outside of the tech bubble, it’s not looking so hot. The middle class and blue-collar economy is hurting. Inflation still stings… The manufacturing renaissance has not yet materialized. What gives?
Birthrates in the West have been low for decades. Today, women in all three countries give birth to just 1.6 babies on average. We’re now starting to see what a real worker shortage looks like. And it’s about to get a lot worse. Today, I’ll dig through the numbers to show you what our future may look like… and how physical AI might be our only solution at this point. Then I’ll show you how, as an investor, you can take advantage of this now unstoppable trend.
President Trump fired Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), last week. Unfortunately, nothings going to change. Here’s why, and how to prepare.
Last week’s significant economic news – the positive GDP report and the hugely revised unemployment report – all but guarantees what the Fed will do next. So let’s discuss why markets reacted the way they did on Friday, with the S&P 500 and the Dow both losing more than 1.2% and the Nasdaq and Russell 200 tanking about 2% each. Then I’ll explain what all of this means for our portfolios.
