Doug Casey

 Doug Casey, author of the best sellers Strategic Investing, Crisis Investing and Crisis Investing for the Rest of the 90's, has lived in seven countries and visited over 100 more.

04/10/07 - Stealth Uranium Investments
by Doug Casey "Uranium prices have been through the roof lately - surging 57% this year alone. And while the future of this commodity looks bright, the so-so stocks attached to this metal present a serious investment challenge. Luckily, our friends at Casey Research have uncovered the subsectors of the uranium space that have been largely unrecognized by the average investor. Read on..."

03/28/07 - "It's the End of the World As We Know It"
by Doug Casey "Anyone paying even a little attention right now can’t help but notice the stunning array of problems that are menacing the global economy and threatening traditional investments. Doug Casey explains how you can profit from the unfolding crisis..."

11/02/06 - Mining and the Markets
by Doug Casey "
Even though the natural resource bull market is now in full swing, the lumpeninvestoriat still hasn’t caught on to this trend. Doug Casey explains why you should jump on the resource train before everybody else does..."

09/05/06 - Freaks of the Resource Sector
by Doug Casey "
Doug Casey attends a lot of resource shows, from Vancouver to Val d’Or. That’s because if you want to find great values in the resource sector - overlooked gems that can multiply your investment several times over - you simply have to pound the pavement. Read on…"

08/22/06 - What's Next for Silver?
by Doug Casey "With silver hitting record highs and base metals doing the same (increasing the flow of silver as a byproduct), hundreds of millions more ounces of silver will be heading for the market."

06/06/06 - The Greater Depression
by Doug Casey "Wrap this economic environment around the so-called War on Terror, which is rapidly morphing into the War on Islam, which could easily turn into World War III, and you’re looking at the perfect storm."

05/02/06 - Seasons of Gold
by Doug Casey "The yellow metal typically shows weakness from February to April, rallies in May, then heads down for summer. In August, gold typically begins to rebound and moves up pretty much for the rest of the year."

04/11/06 - The Secret Oil Sands
by Doug Casey "Political problems are looming in almost every major oil-producing nation around the globe. Iraq is a mess, with production still below the levels prior to the U.S. invasion. Iran looks like it may be next on Bush’s hit list."

03/29/06 - Trouble Ahead For Junior Uranium?
by Doug Casey "I’m concerned about the ever-growing number of junior uranium companies. Over the past two years, the number of companies looking for uranium has jumped over 700%. At last count, there are now about 145 such explorers."

01/11/06 - It's All About Timing
by Doug Casey
"Over time, some foreign countries will do better than the United States. And that it’s only common sense, considering the fate of the dollar, to keep a close eye on commodities in general and precious metals in particular."

11/02/05 - The Speculator as Hero
by Doug Casey "A speculator is simply someone who sees, or anticipates distortions in the marketplace and positions himself to take advantage of them. He can do that because he understands their causes, and their effects."

10/13/05 - The Great Resource Bull Markets, Then and Now
by Doug Casey "At this stage of the super-cycle, more people have access to markets than ever before, increasing their standards of living and therefore increasing their demand for resources."

09/07/05 - What's Holding Gold Back?
by Doug Casey "After the price of gold spiked over $850 in January of 1980, gold production increased substantially - and it stayed up, even with the steep falloff in gold prices. Doug Casey explores..."

03/31/05 - A Spectacular Bubble
by Doug Casey "Most Americans would be wary of visiting, or investing in any property that is located in the Middle East, no matter how beautiful and prosperous the area. Doug Casey tells us the location of this paradise should not be a drawback."

11/11/04 - If We Play Our Cards Right...
by Doug Casey "But Alan Greenspan is still a master of wit and wisdom. The key man, at the nation's key bank, told members of Congress that they were making a mistake by not cutting back federal borrowing..."

10/26/04 - Keeping Up With the Jones
by Doug Casey "He borrowed money because he wanted to own more things. In the process, he committed a significant portion of his future earnings to the banks..."

09/30/04 - Through the Roof and to the Moon
by Doug Casey "That's the good news. The bad news is that something called the business cycle still exists, which evidences itself in periodic booms and busts. We've had a tremendous boom from 1982 on. Must it result in a serious bust?"

08/31/04 - The Other Yellow Metal
by Doug Casey "To meet this demand, energy has to come from somewhere, and nuclear power is the only sensible choice. This conclusion is not mine alone...as I write, there are 30 new reactors in various stages of construction."

06/30/04 - Rodney Dangerfield
by Doug Casey "But, understanding the risks, I think silver stocks could provide some of the best, if not the very best, contrarian returns in the years ahead. There are several reasons I say that, but the main one is the ongoing silver."

05/27/04 - The Cupboard Is Bare
by Doug Casey "From a speculator's (as opposed to a consumer's) perspective, the good news is that this is not a problem that will be resolved in the short term, even if prices go much higher..."

04/21/04 - Back Up the Truck on Gold
by Doug Casey
"I don't have a crystal ball, but I do have a sense of market history. Most of the people that were active players in the last real gold bull market, from August 1971 to January 1980 are now either dead or retired."

04/01/04 - The Coming Copper Crunch
by Doug Casey "With the current growth rate in demand for copper running at over 400,000 tons annually, even assuming all capacity is brought on line, within 3 to 4 years available supply will not be able to meet world demand."

03/17/04 - On the Ground in Iraq
by Doug Casey "As a natural optimist, I'm always among the first to see the bright side of almost anything, certainly including the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and who-knows-where-next."

02/04/04 - The Asian Bubble 
by Doug Casey "I’m not trying to be negative about [the boom in Asia], which most people seem to think is a 'sure thing,' just for the sake of being contrary. Although the fact everybody likes something as an investment is reason enough."

01/14/04 - Politics, Lies and Really Big Government
by Doug Casey "As readers of my letter, International Speculator know, I despised the Clinton Administration."

01/05/04 - The Dollar Bounce
by Doug Casey "Everyone and their dogs have finally become aware of the dollar's problems. Therefore, I suspect that it's almost time for Business Week to run a cover story projecting the death of the dollar."

09/17/03 - Homeland
by Doug Casey "I'm favorably inclined towards real estate as an investment class. But as a means of growing wealth, the party is over, for now at least. The way I see it, there are two ways to play real estate."

05/12/03 - Victory Proclaimed
by Doug Casey "I don’t know how [the conflict in Iraq] will end, any more than does Bush or Rumsfeld. But my prediction is: badly. Timing is the real question in my mind, although even that is not so terribly critical."

02/18/03 - Mines of Mongolia 
by Doug Casey "Insofar as you care at all about Mongolia, I presume what you're interested in isn't stuff you can read on a government website; you want to know how it really is. And maybe how you can profit from it."

12/17/02 - Thoughts on the Forever War
by Doug Casey "I hope I'm totally wrong on this, but I've got a feeling what's brewing is the biggest thing since at least World War II."

03/20/02 - Stocks and War
by Doug Casey "If you trace the history of America's wars relative to its stock market, what stands out is that betting against America has always been a losing proposition."

11/28/01 - The Height of Idiocy
by Doug Casey
"The meltdown of the bubble economy; the dissipation of perhaps trillions in the busted tech boom; the negative wealth effect from the collapse of stocks; now real estate, and next the dollar..."

10/24/01 - Societal Implications
by Doug Casey "Freedom has been rapidly diminishing in America for many years, but our new war will put a near-final nail in its coffin. The hunt for the perpetrators, sympathizers, or even potential sympathizers..."

08/02/01 - Building the Modern 'Maginot'
by Doug Casey
"Some might protest that a discussion of [war] has no place in an investment letter. But investments don't exist in a vacuum. Not considering such basics is a fundamental error. I suspect that war just might provoke..."

05/16/01 - An Unlikely Conspiracy, an Entirely Likely Swindle
by Doug Casey "In fact, I expect it will be dismissed out-of-hand by the court. I can hear the judges chuckling up the sleeves of their ample robes as they compare it to lawsuits alleging the Queen of England still owns the US..."

Will the Boom Continue?
by Doug Casey “Dubai has truly let the cat out of the bag. There’s no doubt in my mind that in coming years, other Dubai look-a-likes will spring up. For most countries, it’s either that, or plan on becoming a petting zoo for those who do.”
