Doug Casey, Dr. Quinton Hennigh and Michael Oliver return.

Generals commonly fight a war only to find out that as times change applying past strategies result in disaster. In the U.S. financial “generals” at the Fed and Treasury focus policy on avoiding the deflationary depression of the 1930s. Doug Casey takes a look at how times have changed and why fighting the 1930s battle cannot overcome a depression but why the current market correction is likely to be far different from the 1930s. In light of his vision for the future, we asked Doug why he thinks gold and gold shares should help offset the pain of the impending depression. 

Quinton updates us on the progress being made toward production and expansion of the high grade Blue Spec project in Australia.  Michael shares his insights into the direction of gold and other key markets.

In the 1980’s Oliver began to develop his own momentum-based method of technical analysis. In 1987 Oliver, along with his futures client accounts (Oliver had trading POA) technically anticipated and captured the Crash. Oliver began to realize that his emergent momentum-structural-based tools should be further developed into a full analytic methodology.

Within a year Oliver shifted from brokerage to full-time technical research.
