A Get Together with Doug Casey and Rick Rule

Bob Kirtley and Doug Casey


Casey Research organized a get together at the Barabra Cafe & Bar in Auckland on Thursday night for subscribers to the various Casey publications. Around forty five people attended on a warm, balmy evening down by the wharf.

The conversation was diverse as the topics discussed included geo-thermal technology, the auto industry, residential and commercial property from Buenos Aires to Detroit and despite his efforts, Ricks inability to get his hands on a cappuccino as the picture shows a glass of red arrived instead.

One thing that we all appeared to have in common was that although the participants had common interests, our friends and work mates still showed very little interest in the precious metals sector. This tells us that there is a lot of room for gold and silver prices to move much higher as no doubt these people will take part in the mania phase and drive prices even higher, once the penny has dropped.

Being in New Zealand the attendees had lots of questions for Doug and Rick regarding New Zealand's future power needs where a lot rests on the Iwi in New Zealand society, Iwi form the largest everyday social units in Māori populations. Its a similar situation to that of the USA and Canada however the process is a little further behind in New Zealand.



The mix of people included a stock broker, an Architect, a couple of independent traders, a Chief Executive Officer from the health food industry, who was fresh in from New York and an IT specialist. The get together was scheduled for 5.00pm to 7.00pm and we fell out of there around 11.30pm so to say that they were generous with their time and money is an understatement.



If you are looking a great place to meet then check out the Barabra Café located at 147 Quay Street on Auckland’s Princess Wharf Area, Shed 23, where Amy will take good care of you.
