Conversations With Casey: Another Silver-Friendly Read
I believe Doug Casey’s ongoing interview series is well-worth the time of any hard money enthusiast – even the lonely (not lowly!) silver coin or bullion investor.
(Which reminds me of something I’ve been meaning to get across to you. Silver “coins” are not necessarily the same as silver “bullion”. I am technically more interested in bullion or generic silver. The purest may resent lumping coins and bullion together, but most people new to this world will not be immediately familiar with definition of “bullion”).
Now then.
Doug Casey is the Chairman of Casey Research, a unique organization that makes it’s living on subscription services for investment reports on a variety of mostly contrary or overlooked opportunities.
This interview series is one of the many Free subscriptions Casey Research provides and again, it is highly recommend it for the long-term view and broader market trends.
Doug Casey is a highly respected author, publisher and professional investor who graduated from Georgetown University in 1968.
He literally wrote the book on profiting from periods of economic turmoil: his book “Crisis Investing” spent multiple weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and became the best-selling financial book of 1980 with 438,640 copies sold.
The timing (of my discovery) is a bit ironic in that from a monetary standpoint, we are in a similar predicament to 1980. Even more ironic, perhaps, is the fact that I saw Paul Volcker testifying before the Senate the other day in what may be only symbolic, but nevertheless interesting, given Volcker’s role as Federal Reserve Chairman in the early 80’s.
I look forward to the weekly interviews with Doug Casey because he stands for fundamentals and the long-term – with an eye for interesting recommendations for securities in the short term. And he is one of the few truly outspoken.
Additionally, he covers some broad topics like this recent one on Haiti and this one on education.
Here’s an excerpt from the “education” interview:
“Put it this way. The quality of a person can be determined by how he relates to three critical verbs: Be, Do, and Have. The classical liberal arts show you how to “be” – they help form your essence, your character, your will. The mechanical arts show you how to “do”; they are important, but really are just acquired skills. As a consequence of what you are, and what you can do, you “have” – acquire goods and money and reputation.”
The fundamental analysis is a key for any silver coin investor who desires some semblance of sanity in the world of derived price management and volatility.
Publications like this one, provide this much needed semblance.
