Right on the Money: Doug Casey on Economics, Investing, and the Ways of the Real World with Louis James

Afterword

Dear Reader:

In the introduction, I described this book as a set of keys for speculating successfully in today’s exceptionally troubled environment. Now that you’ve had a chance to rummage through our intellectual toolbox, I hope you’ve not only grasped the method, but you are already seeing ways to apply it to your own finances and life.

This is important. Doug’s method is to look at the world in the light of realistic general principles and then to think about the specifics of what he sees. In applying this method, each reader will have to start with his own understanding of how the world really works. While part of the reason we assembled this book is to entertain and enlighten, our more important goal is to enable you to take action that will benefit you financially, and perhaps in other ways as well.

We would like nothing better than for you to put the book down and call your travel agent to arrange for a visit to whatever destination you judge is a good place to start internationalizing your life. Or make that call to your broker to discuss ways of implementing Doug’s financial recommendations that still apply today. Or just hop online, to further educate yourself in whatever you need to understand to be able to take the actions Doug is pointing toward.

Do it today.

Don’t wait.

Don’t let the ideas cool off.

Don’t let the urge to take action fade away, lest when you remember it, it’s too late.

I sincerely and urgently recommend that you take this seriously; as bad ...
