Missing comments

For some reason, all of Grandma Eleanor’s comments were going to the spam file. We are now receiving over 3000 comments a month with most of them spam so we just missed these. Here’s 3 from her we found to catch you all up. Thanks for the comments G’ma E!

For some other reason I can’t format these properly so I will address each one now before you read them below as I can’t seem to figure out how to type below them.

Comment #1, You’re very perceptive wanting to know about gold. Many wealthy investors from George Soros to Jim Rogers to Warren Buffet along with many institutions like the University of Texas (who bought and took physical possession of 1 Billion dollars worth of gold!) as well as many countries are putting all their money in gold. In fact, many European countries are trying to get their gold back from the U.S. depositories that are supposedly holding it. This includes Germany, the U.K. and others. The problem is the U.S. won’t give it to them as they no longer have it! There have been many efforts by Ron Paul and others to gain access to Fort Knox to audit our gold but the government refuses to give them access as they too no longer have it! This is all caused by countries understanding that their paper currency is worthless and no longer backed by gold. You see all our money was at one time backed by gold. This is referred to as the gold standard. In other words, the paper currency (our dollar bills) were just supposed to be a more convenient way of doing business rather than trading actual gold but there was supposed to always be enough gold to back all the paper money. Sadly this is no longer the case due to the government just printing money as they need it. You can go to www.kitco.com to track the metals market every day. This is the site all the dealers use when buying or selling precious metals. Now on the subject of metals, I would suggest you invest in silver. It has much more of an upside than gold as it’s used commercially and is under valued in the ratio of its value to gold and has been for some years. Most noted analysts see silver going up as high as $200 to $400 an ounce by 2015. Currently it’s around $34 an ounce based on yesterdays close. This would mean a 10 fold or 1000% return if it hits $300. Gold on the other hand is projected at $5000 an ounce best case and closed at $1717 yesterday meaning only a 300% return. Of note, on December 14th, the government will announce the new metal configuration for pennies and nickels. They will no longer use “nickel” in nickels as it currently cost about 8 cents to make a nickel. There’s a famous investor who bought 1 Million dollars worth of nickels knowing soon a nickel will be worth a dime or more and be traded just like silver and gold. Lots of people are buying a few boxes ($100 a box for 2000 nickels) to save as an investment. We have a few boxes for the boys just for fun. So there you have it on Metals 101. This is not a small thing as most savvy investors are holding some kinds of metals. One note, you must take physical possession of your gold and silver meaning do not leave it in a bank, take it home. The other hot investment by these mega investors is farm land. They are buying thousands of acres of farm land as they understand that there will be a food shortage very very soon. More on this in the coming days.

For your next 2 comments, yes the misses is quite special, we all know that and are truly blessed to have her and yes, she is also quite the little decorator! Last night she took off some interior doors and put them in the garage! And last, the boys really are great kids, we’re very lucky and you can really see this when you see some of the other kids out there.

So yesterday the misses was getting a pedicure downtown while I was picking up and unloading a pallet of wine. When unloading, I felt my back pull kind of like in slow motion. I’m not hunched over, just tender and sore. I think it’ll go away soon but have to be careful. I continued to carry wine (I had to) but will stay away from the gym today.

I have some errands today and the misses does too! Our Bocelli press event in New York yesterday went great. We should have a bunch of press (articles) coming out very soon, we’ll keep you posted. It’s now 6am so time to run. Go buy some gold or silver, it will out perform the stock market, hands down. (silver has outperformed the stock market by  86% in the past 10 years!) Plus you’ll have the peace knowing where your money is and that no one (like the government) can take it!

Take care and God Bless,
