  1. HI Catherine, waiting with baited breath to hear your latest research on the present undercurrent
    of the G 20: I note the “Three Stooges” made oblique references and would appreciate your intake.
    I note the G 20 removed the new global currency and media control from their stated platform and
    wonder if they will restore them and what other global organizations have similar objectives.

  2. I don’t mean to brag but I fared well this year with my 401K making a measly 1.4%. My holdings are constructed of ideas that Harry Browne promoted in a book called “Fail Safe Investing.” While I’m grateful for his advice (I also paid to consult with him personally before his death in 2006), one of my holdings is in 30 year treasuries which appear to be in a bubble today. At this point, I’m not sure what to do as I want to preserve earnings for what has been an okay year for me. The other holdings I have are in my company’s stock, a short term money market like account and the gold ETF: GLD.
