VIDEO: Casey Research: A Prime Example of Idiots in the Financial Publishing Business

You aren't going to want to miss this video. I was directed to the Casey Research website after following the trail of one of the doomsday videos that have been plastered by countless hucksters throughout the Internet.

On my very first visit to the Casey Research website, I ran across a gold pumping article that clearly demonstrates the kind of bullshit you get from financial publishers who claim to be research firms but are really publishers of garbage. Sit back, pull out the popcorn and listen as I show you what kind of idiots Doug Casey has working for him.
This is just another example showing that these financial publishing firms are heavy on the marketing and easy on the analysis and research.

I want to remind those who have not yet signed up and paid form Membership or have become a Client via subscription of one of our investment newsletters that I have amassed the most detailed and comprehensive compilation of LIARS, SNAKE OIL SALESMEN, IDIOTS and such pertaining to the financial industry.

This work devoted to this publication reflects over a decade of research I have done on these clowns and utilizes my expertise in both the investment spectrum as well as deviant psychology.

This massive report is already more than 200 pages and dozens of videos and continues to be expanded frequently.

The name of this publication is the ENCYCLOPEDIA of Bozos, Hacks, Snake Oil Salesmen and Faux Heroes.

Access to this extremely informative continuously expanding publication is valued at many times more than the cost of the annual website Membership. But of course, Members receive access to this critical publication in addition to unrestricted access to all articles as well as huge discounts on select research and full access to the Member Video Library containing several educational videos covering securities, markets, economics and other topics.
