Opinions

In 2007 the Financial Times noted that Casey pointed out the credit crunch saw close correlation between gold and equity prices. He said this was because hedge funds sold both gold and equities for liquidity.

Casey recommends gold as an investment. At FreedomFest 2014 he told Daniela Cambone that he predicted retail price inflation, and saying that he did not think that the price of gold was being suppressed.
