Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) Offers Exciting Career Opportunities in the NY Area

Managing Editor - July 13, 2010 1

In the 1940s, fashion and apparel industry members were faced with a dwindling number of qualified people to help them run and carry on their businesses. The next generation wanted to be doctors and lawyers—not tailors. A group of industry members, led by Mortimer C. Ritter, an educator with an interest in programs for young working people, and Max Meyer, a retired menswear manufacturer, set about organizing a school to ensure the vitality of their businesses. First, they created the Educational Foundation for the Fashion Industries to promote education for the industry. The Foundation then obtained a charter from the New York State Board of Regents to establish a “fashion institute of technology and design.” The institute opened in 1944 with 100 students, and was located on the top two floors of the High School of Needle Trades.

Richard Russell: The Dow at 400 is Nolonger an Absurd Joke, Got Gold?

Managing Editor - July 13, 2010 0

Richard Russell has become very bearish in recent months. Earlier this year, Russell warned that the stock market was once again becoming grossly overvalued despite its relentless new highs maintaining that the bear market never ended and that the world is far too indebted to exit the bear market. He believed then, and still maintains, that the bear will not end until all fiat currencies have failed and that we might be, as he put it, “on the verge of a terrible collapse.” Words: 505

How Much Gold Do You Need To Protect Yourself From Inflation?

Managing Editor - July 13, 2010 1

Including gold bullion in an equities portfolio has the effect of lowering the volatility of portfolio return and raising the return-risk ratio, just as the inclusion of any other asset would. Gold, however, has a special risk-reducing property that other assets lack. It is not only a hedge against inflation, but a market leading indicator of inflation and, better still, a direct measure of the damage done by inflation to an equities portfolio. The negative impact on stock returns from a rise in the price of gold lasts for at least five years. Words: 1107

Managing Editor - July 13, 2010 0

History will look back at the artificially high silver to gold ratio of the past century as an anomaly, caused by the dollar bubble and the world being deceived into believing that fiat currencies are real money, when in fact they’re all an illusion. This fiat currency experiment will end badly in a currency crisis. The wealthiest people will be those who bought silver today and were smart enough to research and pick the best silver mining stocks and warrants. Words: 1654
