How to get to the other side...Tough Mudder

The Casey Conference was amazing, and if you haven’t already I highly recommend you getting the audio CD’s and giving these experts a listen (that is not an affiliate link—I don’t make any money by recommending this to you, but it was really, really informative and you won’t be sorry!). For the past week or so [...]

I had the honor of sitting next to Jim Rickards throughout the second day of the conference and I thoroughly enjoyed his company. He is a very nice and extremely smart gentleman (and as I mentioned last week he gets extra bonus points for treating me like a respected fellow investor and not simply “someone’s [...]

Whenever I think of Europe, one of the first images that comes to mind is the hilarious scene from National Lampoon’s European Vacation (you know the one, where Chevy Chase helplessly drives around and around the famous London traffic circle, unable to exit, endlessly exclaiming to the kids, “Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament! Look kids! [...]

Greetings from sunny Florida, where I have just spent the first day soaking up all of the information I can handle regarding what the experts believe about the state of our economy and so-called “recovery”. The title of the conference is aptly named “Recovery Reality Check”, and it’s safe to say that exactly ZERO of [...]

(And that doesn’t take into [...]
