As most of us missed out on the potential profits from purchasing and selling the ex police motorcycles or lost and found watches last weekend, maybe the following is another opportunity?
Today’s F.T informs us that the precious metal Platinum in short supply. It predicts that prices may surge to a record $2,500 (previous record set March ,2008 at $2,290) per ounce (now at $2,175) during the next six months. A commentator noted that the sector has not been so stressed in the past twenty years.
Should these predictions prove true, substantial profits may be taken when one considers the leverage of futures contracts of this commodity. Of course should these predictions not materialize one may lose substantial sums.
Perhaps a safer strategy is to purchase a few drums of regular gasoline for later sale?
Either is likely to be better for our finances that collecting the paltry interest offered by FDIC insured banks which interest rate appears to be less than our actual rate of inflation.

BARGAIN PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES ARE AVAILABLE FOR LAS VEGAS RESIDENTS[or non Las Vegas residents]:
L.E. Fant’s order arrived last Friday. It took approximately one and one half weeks from ordering to arrive.
L.E. had ordered the least expensive lenses and frames. He was pleasantly surprised when he opened the package. Inside were two pairs of glasses in hard cases and each came with spare screws and nose pieces.
The reading glasses (the first L.E. has owned other than 99 cent store readers which have always proved equal to other store’s $20 readers) are an improvement over the 99 centers as their lenses compensate for each eye’s idiosyncrasies. The frames, in L.E.’s opinion, are reasonably attractive and entirely acceptable (especially for the price of $2.00). All in all L.E. is extremely happy with his purchase of the readers which cost only $8.99 or less including "anti-scratch and UV coating."
The “long distance” glasses had smaller lenses than L.E. anticipated (he should have known this as dimensions were provided). However, they look fine on L.E.’s face. He had these made with a medium gray tint which is excellent when worn outside but a little too dark if worn inside. L.E. Fant’s new found ability to be able to read street signs at longer distances than before is a novelty to him and doubtless a relief for other road users. These eyeglasses cost only $12.99 or less.

The shipping (for both pairs) was stated as being $11.98 which made an invoice grand total of $29.97 for the two pairs together with hard cases and extra screws and nose pieces [This is the amount invoiced and paid even though the individual amounts add up to be more-maybe the frames were free because L.E. purchased lenses?].
L.E. Fant is still adjusting to wearing “proper” glasses and probably should have followed the prescriber’s advice and purchased no-line, progressive focus lenses with photo chromatic features which adjust the lenses’ tinting according to ambient light conditions. Such glasses should be a remedy for all conditions and from the same supplier cost a little over $100 compared with closer to $400 that L.E. was quoted at a so-called discount eyeglass store. L.E. had heard stories of folks having difficulty adjusting to such lenses and chose separate focal length lenses for his first foray into prescription lenses.
