History

Stansberry Research (previously Stansberry & Associates Investment Research) was founded in 1999 as an independent investment research firm.[1] In addition to his editorial duties, company founder, Frank Porter Stansberry, writes opinion pieces in a variety of financial publications discussing diverse and controversial issues ranging from the auto bailout to the European financial panic, among others.[3][4][5][6] Other Stansberry public information efforts include production of a 2011 infomercial entitled "The End of America," as well as the founding of "The Project to Restore America," a 2012 endeavor aimed at restructuring American governance.[3][7]

In 2014, Snopes.com investigated the firm's claim that United States currency will "collapse", and found such claims to be false.[8]
