Travis,
I just received a new pitch for Casey Research’s Crisis Investing. It’s certainly not cheap at $1500 a year after a $1,000 discount. Can you or anyone shed any light on the value and research provided by Doug Casey? Thanks

If you browse the comments submitted over the past 5 years by Gumshoe readers, you’ll see that Casey’s newsletters are considered good reads but not so good at stock picking. I have been following his free advice on loading up on gold this year and doing OK, but not so great currently on a gold mining ETF. In the meantime I have missed out on an awful lot of profit in the “terminally ill” stock market. The massive breakdowns of the U.S. and world financial systems are always 7 months in the future at any given time according to Casey. He has been predicting doom for 35 years and struck it really right in 2008, perhaps like a stopped clock that is right twice a day? Overall I don’t see much reason to subscribe.
