How are you doing? Here in early 2006 Vanguard Precious Metals & Mining is already up 37%! In the June issue of Intelligence Report I give you a complete overview if why we have been able to make so much money. Gold is one of the answers, and it is a simple and dynamic story that I cover in depth this month. I also talk about your fixed-income needs, and I have four new preferreds to add to your portfolio. There is a lot to be thankful for, most importantly the state of the American economy. Make it a good month.

High water is the theme of this month’s issue as I analyze hurricane-related issues and why they are vital for you when considering my Big Idea. You should also focus on the following points when considering the future: income, migration and leisure. I discuss each of these issues for you this month, as well as, what is working for us. While this has been a down year for most if you have followed our plan, you are having a darn nice year. All my balanced funds and fixed income funds are up for the year. And there are some I would consider cheap funds and stocks that I want you to focus on, especially Vanguard funds and commodities — gold, aluminum, nickel, and uranium. There is much to cover this month but if you remain focused and take immediate action, you will continue to be successful.
