"Why were amethyst geodes considered more precious than diamonds during the middle ages?"How one 27 year old guy who barely finished high-school managed to buy a $795,000 house with just a handful of rocks. |

If you have been worried about the economy and trying to figure out how to hold onto your money, or have been frustrated watching it collect pitiful interest from the failing banking system, then this may be the most important letter you read all year. Here's why: You see back in the middle ages they didn't have all this fancy banking that we have today. They weren't leveraged, they didn't use credit cards, they didn't have adjustable rate mortgages. In ancient times they knew one simple truth about wealth that we've forgotten. Tangible things have tangible value. Solid objects = solid value.Stocks go up and down (and if you've been watching the markets
it's enough to make an investor more than a little bit seasick.) Let me tell you a true story about a guy who grew up poor in one of the wealthiest areas on earth - Southern California. I know this story, and I know this guy, because he is my brother. O was always picking things up from the ground when we were kids. Whatever it was, he'd collect it. He used to empty his pockets at the end of the day and they'd be filled with string, paperclips, random pieces of tinfoil, black pennies, rubber bands and a few odd rocks. I thought it was weird. But he was my brother, so, whatever. And, you know what? He never stopped with his fascination for this kind of random stuff. In his 20's he began collecting more upscale 'rocks'. He bought amethysts, uncut rubies, and tourmalines. Pretty soon he started to collect museum quality pieces. Nearly all of these weren't really that big, or impressive enough to imagine putting into a fancy necklace or ring. He'd show me his latest finds whenever I'd go and visit him. Well, that's nice I thought. Then, as most people do, he got married and settled down. Then the house he was living in became available, but in order to buy it, he had to come up with a $40,000 down payment within a few weeks. The pressure was on, and I wondered what he would do. He did what any savvy person would do (I realized this in
retrospect). He sold his rock collection. You see, there's not a single one of us who can control the banking system (unless your name is Rockefeller, I guess). The conditions of today, are beyond most of our power to do anything about. But we CAN be smart about it. And this is what I have to share with you today; a rare opportunity to collect a very rare and majestic pair of semi-precious geodes. These just recently became available through a family friend who asked me to help her sell them. And if I wasn't so tied up with other things, I'd buy them myself, but alas, these pieces aren't for me. But it is my privilege to find them the correct home.
By the way, when I asked my brother what he thought of them, his comment was that they were the sort of thing that would really go up in value over the next 2-3 years. Then he started contemplating buying them himself. He still might. But neither of us are rock experts. He's just the guy who made out like a bandit and bought a house with his own rock collection. You may wonder why are these valuable items up for sale? Because they were inherited due to a death in my friends family. She simply has nowhere to keep them and needs to use the proceeds to settle the family estate. For this reason she is willing to let them go at an absolute ROCK BOTTOM
price (ok, I couldn't help myself with that pun.) And whoever gets these will be getting a really
hot deal.
