Investment Blues

Hi everyone,

Well I am back from a very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable Honeymoon!

First I would like to thank Ken for doing so well at handling the emails and Trading at the same time, and also for you guys keeping your emails to a minimum while I was away J.

I am going to be very short and to the point here as I have a huge amount of things I need to do.

First off, Withdrawals this month are going to be a little delayed, it seems there was an error with the brokers and the wire was returned back to them. I only found this out when I logged into the account and noticed it was empty…not a good start!

The wire has been resent, but with it being a Bank Holiday here in the UK today it will no doubt not leave till tomorrow. I did request a value date of tomorrow so hopefully it will go through then. I will then send it over to e-gold via icegold who are very good and usually fast.

This does unfortunately mean a delay for you guys that have requested a withdrawal this month, if all goes according to plan then you should get it at the end of this week. I can only apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause the few of you that have requested withdrawals.

I still have a few additional deposits to confirm and will be getting them tonight and tomorrow, so look out for those. If you have not received one by Thursday give me a yell, as it may have got lost in the transfer of emails from Ken to myself.

As many of you may already be aware this months percentage was 5% Gross, which means 3.75% net to you guys. Ken has posted a trading report in the Forum if you want to catch up on the months events. I will be sorting out the statements shortly also, so hopefully you won’t experience any undue delay in getting these.

Finally I would very much like to thank all of you that took the time to send Sylvia and I cards of congratulations, we were both very surprised to see so many of them and we both very much appreciate them and they are currently decorating our lounge!

Have a great week everyone and lets hope we can get September off to a good start with the NFP report this coming Friday!

Paul
