The truth is, you literally can't afford to be listening to the talking heads on television these days.

Advertiser sponsored "news" on mainstream media channels like CNN and CNBC do one thing well: Make viewers angry, less rational, and mis- informed...

Not to mention, they can also make you poorer.

Imagine how worse off you'd be if you'd listened to the mainstream media when:

• Economists featured in The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News warned of a market meltdown if Trump won (The Dow is up more than 2,600 points in the eight months since.)
• Analysts predicted in The Washington Post that a "Yes" vote on Brexit would send "shock waves across the U.S. and global economy." But markets are up more than 16% since the vote.
• Business Week famously published a 1979 issue with a cover announcing "the death of equities." Anyone who took their word for it and gave up on equities has lost out as the Dow returned more than 1,566% since... enough to turn every $10,000 invested into $166,000 and change.
• Money Magazine ran a January 2009 article titled "Is It All Over for Stocks?" Anyone who fled the stock market after reading that missed out on a 200% bull run – and the chance to triple their money.

The point isn't just that the mainstream media is so often disastrously wrong.

The point is that the so-called "experts" and talking heads featured in mainstream media can't tell you the real story.

They are 100% beholden to advertisers, network executives, and ratings.

They can't be unbiased because there are greater masters to serve ahead of their viewers.

Did you know, last year, the newspaper industry made $8 billion more from ad revenue than they collected from subscribers?

With this reliance on corporate sponsors, is it any wonder than The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post have given no fewer than 25 companies full-page ads to push their policy preferences in the last month alone?

Who do you think they represent? The customer... or the giant companies taking out full page ads? It should be obvious by now. Yet most people never stop to consider these facts.

And that's why we started Stansberry Investor Hour.

To help you become a more informed about the markets... and give you weekly access to an independent source of information connected to some of the best minds in business, investing, and political affairs.

And to give you the real investing news that you can actually use to grow and preserve your money.

Stansberry Investor Hour is hosted by Stansberry Research founder and CEO Porter Stansberry, along with former CIA agent Buck Sexton.

Porter and Buck share the unfettered, edgy, big picture financial and political commentary important to people like you... who want to cut through all the claptrap tape... the doublespeak... the puffery and lies and get the real story.

The first thing you should know is that Stansberry Investor Hour is 100% free to use.

There's no subscription fee... no "paywall"... no obligations whatsoever.

Just enter your email and you'll get access to the latest episodes immediately on the confirmation page.

The second thing you should know is that Buck and Porter never accept advertising dollars – or any form of compensation at all – from the companies they cover or recommend to readers.

This allows them to say what they want... and allows our podcast to be a form of "underground radio" – far away from the mainstream media.

While the mainstream pushes information only to get clicks, drive ratings – and pleases their sponsors – our episodes simply address what the issues and non-issues mean for your money.

Stansberry Investor Hour has featured dozens of famous and influential financial leaders and investing icons. Jim Rogers, T. Boone Pickens, Dr. Ron Paul, Robert Shiller, and Glenn Beck are just a few famous names you'll hear from.

But whether the weekly guest is a wily, world-famous CEO, or a Deep State refugee like WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, they're appearing with Porter and Buck for one reason and one reason only...

Because Porter and Buck believe their insights are noteworthy... and can teach you something valuable about growing your hard-earned money and preserving your financial freedom.

It's that simple.

We are here to serve. And to share the kind of insight we'd want to hear – if our roles were reversed.
