October 25, 2012, Singapore. We’ve discussed at length the importance of owning precious metals. The financial system is so full of insolvent banks and bankrupt governments, and gold is one of the few assets that you can own which is not simultaneously somebody else’s liability. Now, there are no shortage of products out
June 4, 2010 New York City Today, my friends and colleagues from the Atlas 400 group are gathering in New York City for another weekend adventure. It’s something I’ve been looking forward to since our last event in Panama. As you’ve heard me describe before, the Atlas 400 is a private group of
May 28, 2010 Chicago, IL, USA Chicago is a really beautiful city– one of my favorites in the United States, actually, along with Austin, TX and Sheridan, WY. But while I enjoy being back in the US as a tourist from time to time, I’m itching to get out of here. The travel
May 19, 2010 Quad Cities, IA, USA I wanted to send you a short note today from America’s heartland to tell you what I’m doing with my investment capital, and why. I’m closing out almost all of my speculative positions and going to sit on the sidelines for a bit because I’m concerned
May 12, 2010 Undisclosed Location First of all, I really want to thank all the well-wishers who were kind enough to write me and wish me luck on my operation yesterday. Everything went off without a hitch, and I’m already feeling much better. I will unfortunately need to stay in place for a
May 6, 2010 Undisclosed Location If you’ll kindly indulge me, I will jump right into this week’s questions. First, Jeff writes, “Simon- you really called the gold/euro short (XAUEUR), I’m up 25% since you mentioned it. Where do you see it going now?” The European-induced panic is causing a rush to ‘quality’ once
April 30, 2010 Las Vegas, NV It’s chilly in Las Vegas, but I’m having a great time meeting so many subscribers here at the Casey conference; I’m pleased at how many have turned up for the event, and I’m always humbled by the exceptional people we have in our community. My only regret
April 28, 2010 St. Michaels, MD, USA Since I arrived from Santo Domingo on Monday evening, I’ve been enjoying some peace and quiet in this quaint, quiet, wealthy little town on the Maryland shoreline. St. Michaels is where Porter Stansberry is holding his annual ‘idea conference,’ which he sponsors each year around this
April 16, 2010 Medellin, Colombia Yesterday I celebrated tax day by charging up my AMEX card on one of the IRS’s official payment websites. There’s nothing like earning travel points for keeping the flames of bureaucracy burning. And speaking of travel, I should be headed to Ecuador this weekend where I plan on
March 23, 2010 Hong Kong, SAR The banking system in Hong Kong is one of the most advanced in the world, and if you’re shopping around for a place to plant a banking flag, you should definitely consider it. As a jurisdiction, Hong Kong was effectively founded and built into a global financial
March 15, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand I was laying in bed sick recently watching Conan the Barbarian… yes I admit it. Some people eat chicken soup, I drown myself in cheesy Hollywood violence. If you haven’t see it, you’re not missing much of a plot– Arnold Schwarzenegger at his physical prime wields a big
March 12, 2010 Pattaya, Thailand Greetings once again from the land of smiles. First of all, I really appreciate all the responses after yesterday’s letter in which I announced that I will be speaking at the upcoming Casey Research Crisis and Opportunity Summit. I’m really looking forward to meeting with so many of
February 26, 2010 Bangkok, Thailand It’s “Judgment Day” in Thailand. I wrote about this on Monday– a Thai high court will rule today on the disposition of ousted former PM Thaksin Shinawatra’s frozen assets valued at several billion dollars. According to the mainstream media, the entire country is supposed to erupt in chaotic
February 19, 2010 Bangkok, Thailand I really need to start out today’s letter by expressing how truly humbled I am to be part of such a fantastic community. Matt and I have spent much of the last few days combing through resumes (200+ so far) for the job openings that I posted on
February 16, 2010 Bangkok, Thailand The popular press has been bandying a lot of cute acronyms for the ‘sick’ European countries. I have seen PIIGS, STUPIDs, and DUHs… and while the individual circumstances of each country are different, they all have one thing in common– Their obligations far exceed their assets, and they
