Back in April of this year, I wrote a post titled:
Why I’m Going Silly For Silver
The reasons for doing it ( getting some coins ) are still the same today. You can read the above post for that rationale.
Or, if you just want some, listen to a wall-street critic and fellow free-thinking entreprenur who I highly respect:
I’ve been trading the international currency ( FOREX ) markets since 2005 and I couldn’t be happier with how much LEVERAGE this financial vehicle gives me.
I like keeping abreast of current business news, international monetary policy, and foreign affairs. All that, combined with some key technical knowledge, allows me to trade some pretty cool instruments - think USD / JPY, as an example.
Recently, something pretty cool - a place where you’re not alone in the dark in this market - has come about.
An elite invite only website titled Forex Brotherhood (rather catchy), is going to revolutionize any forex traders game.
The brotherhood is setup to take you (the trader) from any level you are at now, and up your game, raise your bar, shorten your learning curve and make you elite.
Is there such a thing?
Even though I was intentionally setting out to dive into some more intriguing areas of AskMen.com, I couldn’t help but notice this conveniently located (didn’t have to scroll the page to see it) and bolded question asked to Mr. Leach:
Which houses took your breath away?
“Well, the house in Germany with 365 rooms and a room map so you would not get lost. The house in Australia that was so large, they had a chauffeur driving you from one room to another. A 50,000-square foot house that was on the Pacific coast in Mexico. An all-gold house in Hong Kong. Celebrities are nowhere as rich as some people think they are. It is usually people in the money business, finance, and international trade that are really rich. You generally find that the number of very wealthy [celebrities] is not more than a couple of handfuls.”
This Robin Leach reminiscing of these houses reminded me of all the times, when I was living in Virginia Beach for 12 years, that I’d hop on my bike (mountain bike), head down to the boardwalk, and cruise on into a residential area of the beach called “Croatan”.
It’s through this away-from-the-computer time that I’d immerse myself into the culture, richness, and vicariously live through the extreme “vivid” experiences, of the Rich & Famous…
Er, or was is just the rich ? Read on to find out…
I love searching for and putting my money in places where it can grow itself.
And, while a bank savings or money market account might seem what the conservative doctor ordered for a guy who doesn’t have a lot of of time to spend “watching my money,” the reality-lamp remembered to shine brightly in my face last week.
A time-tested truth came to the surface:
Wealth compounding, over time, has two mortal enemies – taxes and inflation. And, to get the personal wealth machine really humming, you’ve got to beat them both.
I’ll leave the former up to you and your CPA… yet, in this post, you’re about to get the raw skinny about how I’m kicking the ass of the latter by buying silver (you can too — read on)
