Survival of the Specie(s)

Yesterday, Milton Hunter, our neighbor, gave a talk at the recreation center.  From what I gathered, Milton has spent his career in investing, and in recent years he has focused on precious metals.  His talk yesterday was about investing in gold and silver, with a capital S.

I knew something about this already, because one of my friends has a growing experience and knowledge in it, but Milton has a finger expertly on this pulse.  Milton told us about the history of precious metal and coin (specie) trading, and he provided up to the minute and high tech information as to where the enterprise is now, and how to interact in it.  He spoke at great length (almost two hours), and he included a slide show.  There was a handout that provided printouts of the slide show.

It isn't my aim to explain about precious metals investing.  If you're interested, you can ask Milton.  He's clearly very good at this.  He loves to talk, and if you want to jump in, he'd be happy to be your broker, too.  He'd even be willing to do another presentation, if enough people request it of him.  He said he has an office in Miami Gardens, where interested people can go see him, or he'll come to you, since you live where he lives.  He says to call him at his home at 305-891-9232.  What I do want to say is that it was an interesting expansion of the capacity the Village and its residents have to interact with each other, support each other, and develop an even deeper sense of community.  Milton's talk was a service, provided by one resident to any and all of his neighbors.  He did nothing but inform.  There was no cost and no obligation.  The few of us who attended all learned something.  This is what the Village can do for itself.  It's adaptive for us as a population.  And we had to wait to get into the recreation center, because a yoga class was finishing up.  Yet another example.
