Early life and education

He is the son of Eugene B. Casey, a multimillionaire real estate developer.[7]

Casey Research

Casey Research publishes a financial newsletter from an Austrian School anarcho-capitalist perspective which advises on the purchase of microcap stocks, precious metals, and other investments.[4]

Views and approach

[edit]

Casey describes himself as a contrarian. He applies this view to investment, economic interpretations, and government.

He has said, "You've got to be a speculator today. It's no longer possible to work hard and save your money and get ahead in life."[7]
