He is the founder and chairman of Casey Research, a provider of subscription financial analysis about specific market verticals that he has focused his investing career around, including natural resources/metals/mining, energy, commodities, and technology. Since 1979, he has written, and later co-written, the monthly metals and mining focused investment newsletter, The International Speculator. He also contributes to other newsletters, including The Casey Report, a geopolitically oriented publication.
Casey graduated from Georgetown in 1968[1] where he was a classmate of Bill Clinton.[2]
His 1979 book Crisis Investing (1979) became the largest selling financial book in history,[3] listing at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list for a total of 12 non-consecutive weeks.[4][5]
Casey is a frequent contributor to various financial websites, as well as to free-market online magazines, such as WorldNetDaily and LewRockwell.com, and the libertarian print publication Liberty, where he espouses his anarcho-capitalist leaning views. He also calls himself a "big fan" of libertarian publication, The Dollar Vigilante [6]. He supported Ron Paul's run for president in 2008.[7]
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.[8]
Casey has lived in twelve countries, and visited 175.[9] His offices are located in the town of Stowe, Vermont.[10]
