Winning the Energy Investing Game with Zero-Risk Capital / Commodities / Energy Resources
"In this game," according to Marin Katusa, senior editor of Casey's Energy Report, "you only get profits when you sell." The zero-capital investing philosophy he advocates wins the hearts and lines the pockets of investors.

In addition to learning more about the Casey Free Ride approach and Marin's current energy sector views, get an early glimpse of the European shale plays that have captured his fancy in this exclusive Energy Report interview.

Foreign oil companies will gain a distinct advantage over American domestic operators as an unintended consequence of these proposals.
