May 13, 2010 Undisclosed Location Ask yourself an important question: how will you know when the proverbial fat lady is about to sing? In our regular conversations, we talk a lot about the importance of being prepared… history is full of examples of pigs that got slaughtered for not being prepared, for not
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 10, 2010 Undisclosed location I’m going under the knife tomorrow… it’s a little unexpected, but apparently I need a rather urgent surgical procedure performed, and the doctors here have fit me in at their first available time. To be honest with you, I’m pretty disappointed– no, not because of the operation. These
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
May 6, 2010 Undisclosed Location Most people don’t realize how many countries out there are dollarized. In some countries, like El Salvador, Panama, Palau, Ecuador, etc. the US dollar officially circulates in the economy. In others, like Cambodia and Zimbabwe, the US dollar is the de facto currency, which means that they officially
May 5, 2010 Undisclosed location The last few days have been great for the shorts. I’m one of them. Global markets have been in an absolute panic over what’s happening in Europe, and many major indices have erased their 2010 gains. Clearly, the most concerning issue of the day is the ongoing trouble
May 3, 2010 35,000 feet over the Sonora desert You’ll have to forgive me for taking the day off yesterday. This past weekend’s Casey Research Summit was simultaneously exhilarating and exhausting… but after standing on my feet all weekend taking rapid-fire questions from hundreds of subscribers, I really needed some time to myself.
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 27, 2010 St. Michaels, Maryland, USA Yesterday I told you about the official way to go about obtaining residency and citizenship in the Dominican Republic– essentially, it takes about four years from start to finish until you receive your passport, though you may be expedited for investing $200,000 in the local economy.
April 26, 2010 Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic For most people, there are really only three reasons for going to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic: The first is to transit to some other, ‘nice’, part of the country. The second is for sex tourism, which is in incalculable abundance here for both men and women.
April 22, 2010 Vilcabamba, Ecuador There must be something in the water down here. They call this place the “Valley of Longevity” because it’s not uncommon for people to live well past the century mark… and it’s true. Driving around the town last night and this morning, I couldn’t help but notice so
April 21, 2010 Cuenca, Ecuador Last night I ate at one of the fanciest restaurants in Cuenca. Everything except for the Chilean wine was locally grown and absolutely delicious, right down to the banana flan for dessert. The total bill for my beautiful companion and I rang in at $40.02, including 3 courses
April 20, 2010 Cuenca, Ecuador Ecuador is not one of those places on everyone’s radar. In fact, when I recently announced that I would be returning to Ecuador, I received a handful of subscriber emails like this one: “Why are you wasting your time in that communist money pit? [SB: strange choice of
