Talk:Doug Casey/Archive 1

2010 comment
There is a problem with either an article passage or its footnote, footnote 6. The text states: "In 2009, he gave a speech titled 'My Misadventures in the Third World' in which he outlined plans to privatize a small country and take it public on the New York Stock Exchange." But the footnote refers to a 2007 interview. The site to which the footnote is linked requires a password, so I was unable to further investigate the reason for the discrepency. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.204.182 (talk) 04:54, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Need some more independent sources
All the sources here come from either his own website or freedomfest, an organisation Casey supports. Boils (talk) 14:50, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The Business of Selling an Opinion
This is clearly his opinion with the end goal of marketing a service, the selling of highly speculative and risky stocks.

He states the bankruptcy of America is inevitable and implied by the true liabilities of the general government which he estimates is upwards of $100 trillion when all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation bank deposits and other off-budget items are included.[10]

Here is what his advertisements say;

Casey’s “After Years of Waiting, This Rare 5x Investment Is a Buy Again”

So yes, this entry reads as if it was an advertisement because it is.

How do you correct this?

Although providing free content the following site is self authored with the purpose of marketing; it does not meet the criteria necessary to be included as a self published source as the work is unduly self-serving;

Predictions
Casey and supporters claim he has predicted many things correctly, including every major market change since about 20 or thirty years ago. Can this be checked? 87.247.15.71 (talk) 15:22, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
