In this week’s installment of Conversations With Casey, Doug’s doing a little yardwork…moving down those pesky green shoots! The stock market may be up, but are economic conditions really improving? Also – who the heck is going to buy all the debt the US Treasury is issuing? Enjoy this week’s bearish rant, courtesy of the […]
The screens were flashing all green today, as our noted “all or nothing” trade resulted in everything moving up today! Except for? The dollar, of course! This screen shot from Barchart.com reflect a bull market in, well, everything! Of note, Treasuries were up today – who the heck is still buying these things? A mystery […]
This morning, the US Department of Energy reported, well, HUGE inventories in oil. Oil’s decline hastened on the news.

Legendary investor and China bull Jim Rogers told Bloomberg that he hasn’t bought any new Chinese stocks since November. He said they’ve risen too far, too fast, and that they will “probably collapse” at some point. Then, he’ll buy more. Rogers is investing in commodities in lieu of equities as a way to play the […]
We have a special treat for readers today…we were fortunate recently to conduct an interview with Jay from MarketFolly.com, one of the very top blogs on finance and investing. Jay places a special focus on what the gurus are buying, especially the who’s who of hedge fund managers. His coverage is second-to-none, a true must-read. […]
