Doug Casey explains the “everything bubble” and how business people can use it to their advantage

Perhaps best known as a New York Times bestselling author, Doug calls himself a speculator and unashamedly wants the high ground on an unlevel playing field. He’s the founder of Casey Research and International Man, which educate on investment opportunities, individual freedom issues — and generally, how to thrive, even in an “everything bubble.”

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

  • What sparked Doug’s interest in investing
  • Which country Doug believes is the next good bet
  • Investments Doug currently recommends
  • Doug’s views on cryptocurrencies
  • What it takes to be a speculator
  • About Doug’s High Ground fiction series
