Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
The following must-watch interview of Doug Casey was conducted on September 9, 2011 by Tommy Humphreys as part of his new Speculator Series.

CLSA’s Russell Napier merely chuckles at Ben Bernanke’s meager efforts with Operation Twist…and also severely doubts the ability of The Fed to launch QE3. He sees some European banks being nationalized by Christmas, because it’s “The European Way”. Napier disagrees with the argument that valuations are cheap in The West, calling it “an illusion”, because […]

A really great service at a reasonable price. Then suddenly they initiated a huge price increase and split their DVD and […]
I love this guest piece by Sy Harding – one of the best we’ve ever run, in my humble opinion. The Wall Street Cheerleaders watch stocks drop by 10%, 20%, even 40% or more – and simply reassure you that you need to have a long-term investment horizon. Bullsh*t! Enjoy Sy’s take – I think […]
Today I’m excited to present insightful commentary from Glenn Cohen, Founder and CEO of Cohen Investment Strategies. Glenn has developed a very cool proprietary formula for gauging the current risk in the financial markets, his own Global Risk Index. Pretty neat concept – it uses all of the top tools that hedge funds use and […]
