Last May we covered a Financial Sense Newshour interview with Kirk Sorensen, founder of Flibe Energy – he made the case for little-known element thorium as the potential “silver bullet” to our energy problems. Today, Casey Research energy expert Marin Katusa dives into the thorium topic once again, to see if it has realistic hopes […]
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 […]
There are a growing number of fracking “haters” since the film Gasland came out last year. Does the NIMBY crowd have a beef, or is there some known science being conveniently ignored?

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.

Japan has quietly boasted astronomical borrowing needs as a percentage of GDP – so much so that the relative calm of Japanese interest rates has lulled many investors to sleep. Is […]
Here’s an insightful guest piece from James Quinn, who takes a look at the first Great Depression to separate the facts from fiction (and there’s no shortage of historical fiction about the Depression that is basically accepted without question as fact today). (And if you like this piece, you may also enjoy my lambasting of […]
I admit it, I’ve been wrong about gold. I thought it was topping past $1,000 – then at $1,100 – and so on. Now that gold has cleared the $1,400 mark, I’ve finally come to the conclusion that gold is probably heading quite a bit higher before the gold bull market ends. (I know, I […]
