The Fed recently announced that it would keep interest rates low through 2014 – which in Fed-speak basically amounts to “forever.” And how do they intend to keep rates low? Well there’s only one way to do it, and that’s by purchasing the long-end of the yield curve with digitally created Federal Reserve notes. Our […]
One of my favorite “conspiracy theories” of late is one that the Fed has already quietly started QE3, and just hasn’t told anyone publicly. One school of thought is that this is why gold is going ballistic right now – you can fool the public, but you can’t fool the markets! Bud Conrad, Casey Research’s […]
One of the paid publications that I mention a lot here is The Casey Report. It’s a monthly publication put together by the astute folks at Casey Research – one of the very best at breaking down the big picture, in my opinion. In honor of Casey Research being named to the Inc 5000 (a […]
I know that very few if any of us actually believe the worst is behind us. There are too many skeletons left in the closet – with massive sovereign debt being possibly the most ominous storm cloud on the horizon. In this guest article, our friend David Galland questions the logic of the mainstream financial […]

As you probably recall, the out-of-control debt spiral faced by our government sparked some interesting conversation at our local Casey phyle meeting about […]
Here’s a guest piece by Bud Conrad and David Galland from the Casey team, with an opportunity to check out their free report on the current state of the economy. As always, these two do a bang up job of looking under the hood of rosy government figures and media reports to get the real […]
Despite the self congratulatory nature of the financial media in the recent weeks and months, I remain highly skeptical that the worst is indeed behind us. Down in the trenches of daily economic life, I can’t find any noticable signs of improvement. In fact, the only thing that seems to have changed is a sharp […]
Here’s a short clip of Bud Conrad, Casey Research’s Chief Economist, on CNBC last Thursday. Bud has been pounding the table for investors to buy gold (since much lower prices) and short long bonds for some time. The buy gold trade has been a good one thus far, and Bud now believes that betting on […]
It’s ironic that folks who identify themselves as free market proponents lament Obama’s plans for socialized healthcare in America. We already have socialized healthcare in the US. There is very little that’s laissez faire about the American healthcare system. The entire market is strangled by red tape, bureaucracy, and stupid rules. Result: the least efficient […]
How bad can the current financial crisis get, and how long will it last? Casey Research’s Chief Economist, Bud Conrad, tackles this question, crunching the numbers produced by two leading economists who took a broad sampling of banking crises. The information is presented in an insightful and informative way as only Bud can. I hope […]
