    16 paragraphs of nothingness and the main message was this:

    But whether you are a pop star, a plumber or a business consultant, the same rules still apply: you are the product. And if that's the case, you are going to need to take really good care for yourself if you want your business to succeed.

    Basically, take care of yourself and/or your business in the long-term and not short-term (I'm pretty sure everyone who took a business class seminar in secondary/high school already knew that). It's a simple axiom/statement with 16 paragraphs of unnecessary explanation and reasoning.

    Here's news that's really got me worried:

    Rewrites for rival US debt plans

    I wonder what will happen if the U.S. defaults on its loans... it's apparent already that anything silver and gold related are going up including the Canadian currency value.

    This is largely a political circus. I seriously doubt that either party would allow the US to not pay for stuff it has already "bought". This will likely be resolved by Monday or so, you mark my words.

    Definitely. I think the Republicans are trying to ride this as long as they can trying to derail President Obama's bid for re-election, but from what I'm hearing, more people blame the Republicans than they do Obama for this mess.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    It's a good idea to have anything silver and gold related for now anyway.
    Bought some shares in a silver trust and it's been doing pretty well so far.

    Well its been a good idea to invest in gold since the recession hit, period.

    The U.S. has had a stern policy of paying its bills since the Revolutionary War, we're not going to default.
