The Following is a list of what I am reading and listening to this weekend.
From King World News – Felix Zulauf Interview
“Felix Zulauf has been a member of Barron’s Roundtable for over 20 years. Investors have only read about Felix in Barron’s because he simply does not give interviews outside of Barron’s, but Felix was kind enough to give us his thoughts on where we are at this critical stage of history in this exclusive for King World News listeners. Felix Zulauf has worked in the financial markets and asset management for almost 40 years. He started his investment career as a trader for a large Swiss Bank and received training in research and portfolio management thereafter with several leading investment banks in New York, Zurich and in Paris. Felix always believed that the world economy and the financial markets move in cycles. That has helped him avoiding all the major casualties in the financial markets since the 1973/74 bear market in equities. In this interview Felix discusses gold as the ultimate currency, the fact that the industrialized countries have too much debt, hitting the wall on debt, a Ponzi Scheme, destruction of currencies, attempts to counteract deflation through highly inflationary policies, radical expansion of central banks balance sheets and much more.”

From Invest It Wisely
This article from Kevin over at Invest It Wisely really caught my attention. Believe it or not Age 100 and beyond will be one of the fastest age groups in the future. From a retirement planning perspective, Kevin brings up a lot of interesting things to consider. You really need to prepare differently than you ever have.

Hey Mike,
I was at a party last night in Singapore (where I live) and a woman I work with walked up to tell me that she’s a huge fan of your blog. She hasn’t left any comments yet, but she says she reads through your blog posts every morning with her cup of coffee.
She found your link through my blog–and she’s hooked on you! Well done! Keep up the great work.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I think percentage wise most readers don’t comment. But it’s always nice to know there are people out there reading. Hope you have a great weekend. Take Care, Mike
Thanks for the linkback, Mike, and keep the good stuff coming.
