Austrian investors

[Bradley in DC]

I've been asked if there are any good "Austrian" economics inspired investors, et al. to recommend. It's easier just to post things here.

No, Schiff is not the only one, not by a long shot (and most here have better track records), and there are some other guys I'm thinking of but can't place the names off-hand (and yes, many of the publications/services are quite expensive):

Michael Belkin, The Belkin Report

David Tice (and others on his team), www.prudentbear.com

James Grant, Grant's Interest Rate Observer

Jim Rogers, http://www.jimrogers.com/

Adrian Day, http://www.adriandayglobalanalyst.com/

Jay Taylor, http://www.miningstocks.com/

James Turk, http://www.goldprice.org/james-turk/

Michael Checken, http://www.assetstrategies.com/

Many of the folks associated with the Sovereign Society, http://www.sovereignsociety.com/
including Mark Nestmann, http://www.nestmann.com/

LBCM (including a co-author with Dr. Paul of the Gold Commission's minority report), http://www.lbmcllc.com/index_about.htm

Dr Kurt Richebächer (now deceased), The Richebächer Letter, http://www.richebacher.com/about-the-letter/

There's an Austrians in Finance informal group as well.

MARC FABER, that was the one whose picture was in my head that I couldn't name that was bothering me. He is credited with best predicting the Asian financial crises a decade ago. http://www.gloomboomdoom.com/portalgbd/homegbd.cfm (very entertaining speaker)

"Interestingly enough, Howard Buffett, the father of Warren Buffett is also an Austrian Economics follower. His son, Warren, however, seems to be more inclined to the Keynesian method of healing broken economies as opposed to the strict and rigid ones espoused by Austrian economists. Warren Buffett did acknowledge in a recent TV interview that one will have a hard time finding a paper based currency that appreciates in value over time."

Do not forget Jim Rogers. I am not sure if he follows Austrian Economics per se, but his comments are dead on when it comes to comparing the main philosophies of most Austrian Economists. He is a Ron Paul supporter and he has been interviewed by Lew Rockwell. Now that I think about it there is enough empirical evidence to proclaim him an Austrian.

That one's going into the queue...

[Nationwide]

I'd add Martin Armstrong of http://princetoneconomics.blogspot.com (who writes from prison thanks to Goldman Sachs).

Do not forget Jim Rogers.

He's on the original list.

Yeah, Bonner's part of the Sovereign Society crowd (Agora is part of that).

Casey? Hmmm. Not sure about Austrian, not saying he's not, but definitely entertaining.

That reminds me, is Paul van Eeden Austrian? http://www.paulvaneeden.com/

Buffett knows economics through and through. He supports Keynesian economics because it what allows him to amass billions of dollars when a lot of his holdings should go belly up.

Marc Faber, probably the greatest one out there. All his interviews and writings the past 10 years have been 100% prophetic and he's also an incredible short term forecaster as well. One of the shortcomings of Austrian economics is its inability to forecast short term events. Faber seems to have overcome that.
