In the early 80’s I had a neighbor that kept odd hours and could be seen going to his detached shed at 2am many nights. I befriended him and after two years he confided in me what he was doing. He was hedging currency around the world. His tools? A teletype and a rotary phone. Guy had a knack for it and died leaving his kids a fortune. Catch was he had it stashed in several other countries.

I KNOW! Sometimes you LOOK like you’re crazy...and then later, it’s proven that you’re not! :)

I am well diversified. Peeps here get all concerned (which I APPRECIATE!) that all of my eggs are in one basket, but they’re not.

It’s just that my other investments haven’t QUADRUPLED in 14 years. I mean, really. Compare my ‘return’ on my 401K or my IRA or even individual stocks. I AM tracking ALL of my investment vehicles.

When all is said and done, I’m still certain that ‘lead’ will be the one to save me in the end. ;)
