As many of you know, I am a longtime student of Warren Buffett and do on occasion get a note from him. But the greatest investment advice I ever heard was from James Brown, the Godfather of Soul: "Bury your money in the woods." Eddie Murphy related this wisdom on a tv show years ago, and I think it good advice in the present monetary system for a morally conscience investor.
Let me put it this way: My mother also relates a story of how her grandmother had a small four acre spot in Lake Dallas, Texas and took care of lots of surrounding people during the Great Depression with her hogs and chickens, etc. Another one is coming with the Central Banking System we live under. Inflated central banker money caused the last depression and it will cause the next one.
