There are several strategies to building a great portfolio. One of the best things you can do is to invest at least 25% of your assets in gold, silver, and diamonds (http://www.kitco.com/market/ ). This is done because you are investing in money. It is a safe and conservative investment for your portfolio. Unlike stocks and futures, it is also not just paper and it is a tangible item that you can keep in your possession. This money fortunately, appreciates in value as well.Ask yourself 2 questions before making a purchase, especially if you have a business. The first question is; "Is this a tax deductible purchase, or can I make a profit from it?". The second question is; Will this purchase appreciate in value?, "When buying cars it is best to purchase used cars preferably antiques. When dealing with time, these items should still appreciate in value. Never have a car mortgage! People argue that you can write off your car as a business expense, but why not write it off, and have it appreciate at the same time. An old Mercedes Benz, BMW, Rolls Royce, etc, are examples of antique cars that should be part of your portfolio. When making purchases for your office or business, decorate with antique furniture. Rather than having furniture that looks good but is worthless in your office, you can have gorgeous and very valuable office furniture in your home and workspace. The White House is the perfect example. The furniture, rugs, porcelain, and paintings in the White House are all the very best and highest style that this country has ever seen by the most famous craftsmen and women. Is this just coincidence? Absolutely not. These items were chosen for their beauty and their long term value. These are the principles you should mirror in terms of material possessions.The third rule of thumb is not to purchase real estate unless you have money in the bank to buy it outright. By this I mean to stay away from mortgages. They only exception to this rule is to go into contract directly with the owner(land contract) for no longer than 7 years(ideally loan should be 6 months to 1 year). Remember that I mentioned in an earlier topic that "Cash is king". People are very flexible when you can offer them a large amount of money upfront and might be willing to take off $5,000-$10,000 from his or her asking price.In summary, the average person's basic portfolio should consist of Precious metals, Antique Furniture, Rugs, Paintings, Porcelain, Rugs, and Real Estate. These are the items that people use in their everyday lives. It is not just the White House. It is the Senate Chamber, banks, investment firms, and most old money estates. As a general rule antiques and fine arts typically outperform the stock market on a yearly basis. You just have to make wise informed purchase. Do your research and find someone that is knowledgeable and honest in those areas. In the last year a famous music mogul with the initials D.G. sold two paintings he owned for over 250 million dollars.The challenge of the week is to look at your current portfolio if you have one and figure out if it is comparable to the one above buy asking yourself the questions above. For those that feel that they do not have a portfolio why not start one. Now is the perfect time or economy to do so.

(Tehillim/Psalms 112:3): Wealth and riches are in his house and his righteousness is standing forever.I especially felt the need to create this blog since I always thought to myself that when I became successful I would make sure I could share what I l learned with as many people as I could. After reading many books; attending expensive lectures; searching the internet; joining several telemarketing groups; YHWH finally opened my eyes to something that was with me all along. Himself and his word. The scriptures is filled with so much guidance and direction not only on how we should live our spiritual lives and eat healthy but on how we should live our financial lives and become self sufficient. YHWH put my husband and sister in my life 5 years ago. And so my journey began bringing the little knowledge of Real Estate and an open mind . By this I mean that while I owned property I was not aware that the items within my home especially should be just as valuable or more valuable. Together my husband and sister have over 23 years experience in Antiques and Real Estate. We have decided to start this blog for two reasons. The first one being to share YHWH blessings and truths with others who are struggling with their finances and do not have to. The second one being to connect with those that are aware that YHWH wants us to have silver and gold, fine linens, and land until the coming of Messiah. (Debarim/Deuteronomy 28:12) YHWH opens to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall lend to many nations, but you do not borrow. YHWH wants us to be independent of and not dependent on mainstream society. As long as we follow the Torah we don't have to want for anything and what we need shall be provided for us. The buildings where we congregate should be ours meaning we should not be paying rent. We should grow our own fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes and share them with each other. We should have our own wells and windmills for water and electricity. YHWH calls his "Children of Israel" set-apart for a reason.We practice what we preach by owning and selling antiques, silver, and land. We are located in West Virginia and welcome visitors. You may also visit us at our website antiquesandfinearts4everyone.synthasite.com or contact us at antiquesandfineart4everyone@yahoo.com. We will also post different events that we will be apart of. Part of our ministry is speaking to different churches and congregations on the benefits and obligations we have to our children, in sustaining our cultural heritage, and investing all our talents wisely. We welcome your feedback questions and concerns.Shalom,Tamar

Wow…look at that pinky ring. The pinky is always the “left out” finger. Lets face it at some point or another we’ll wear rings on all the other fingers, even the thumb, but never really on the pinky. The Pink Locket has designed that specially pinky ring for the PINK woman. Coral and Turquoise artisan beads embellish this 14kt gold chain ring. Retailing at $53, this is definitely a piece of jewelry you’ll want to have in your collection.By: Kamilah C.The Pink Lockethttp://thepinklocket.com

For a very brief period of my life I use to surround myself with millionaires or people who thought they were millionaires. One thing I noticed in that journey was that they were not healthy at all. I remember being told that an associate could not meet with us because he was taken to the hospital after having a heart attack. Although this was a very wealthy man it did not stop him from getting sick. I don't understand why things like steak, lobster, etc are associated with having money. You eat enough of these foods and you might not live long enough to enjoy your riches. On the other hand you may live a long life coupled with sickness. We hear of these billionaires dying from very poor health. While their money is still here they are gone. There are so many wonderful foods full of nutrients that actually enhance our bodies rather than to harm them. The scriptures clearly tells us that we should treat our bodies like temples. We were provided with so many fruits and vegetables, legumes, and nuts that is not a necessity to eat meat. And if you still want to eat meat the scriptures points out that you should only eat meat that is clean. Being a vegan or vegetarian is a blessing and not a burden.Now the saying health is wealth goes both ways. There are people who are very healthy and not wealthy or comfortable. They eat and exercise properly and do whatever is necessary to keep their bodies at optimum level. For example, I had a roommate who was 70 years old but didn't look a day past 35. She was a natural doctor and fantastic vegan chef. These were only a couple of her long list of talents. She was also on public assistance and was content on being there for the rest of her life. She is always in my prayers and I pray that she successful today. Ironically I aspired to be a natural doctor and wanted to study under her but all of that changed after we started living together. While I wanted to budget and save on what we could, she wanted to spend money that was not there. While she was a brilliant woman in many areas she had not mastered the financial area.So I mentioned both points to say that there should be a balance between health and wealth. You can do both. Again we must remember our children. The woman I mentioned earlier has children who feel that they have to take care of her. That is not how it should be. It is our responsibility to be positive examples for our children. If a little girl or boy is use to seeing his or her parents buying or selling silver,gold, or property; growing their own crops;sharing with and helping others then they will do the same when they are adults. On the other hand if that same little girl or boy sees his or her parents buying and "renting" unnecessary items, unfortunately he or she will go down the same path of making conscious decisions that leads to generations of poverty. "The sins of the father" is literal not figurative.Here's another challenge. If you are wealthy or comfortable but still eat meat try omitting meat for the rest of the week or if that is too much to ask try 1 day. If you are healthy but not wealthy or comfortable try omitting one thing from your routine that will allow you extra money for a day or the rest of the week. For example you can buy food on sale; skip a weekly massage;walk or ride your bike instead of driving a car. If you do take challenge and find it rewarding please share with us in the comments section of this blog. Todah(Thank-you)for reading this blog. Have a very blessed healthy and wealthy rest of the week.Shalom,Tamar

Today's big question is "Should Our Children be born with Silver spoons in there mouths?" The answer is "Absolutely". Gold or Platinum is even better. As mentioned in our first blog it is the obligation (as parents and guardians) we have in sustaining our cultural heritage, and investing all our talents wisely. Scriptures tells us throughout that we are to be prosperous an wealthy in silver, gold, and land. We must ask ourselves especially for our children's sake "will this appreciate in the future". The very first item that our son received after he was born was a sterling silver rattle and spoon. Today at age three his favorite word for when he sees at toy is "foolishness". On the other hand, if you give him a piece of silver or gold he will gladly take it and play with it. My point is this is what he knows and will continue to know. The seed has been planted. Meaning that when he is old enough to do so, he will share knowledge of wealth and prosperity through scriptures. Yes knowledge is very powerful. There are other items that have great value like old cars, trains, trucks, etc.It is tradition for people to give money only instead of toasters, blenders, silverware, etc at Jewish weddings. The idea is that Jewish young adults get an opportunity to start their lives without unnecessary financial burden as long as they take the money and invest it wisely in gold, silver, land, etc. It is also the norm to pass property and businesses to children when they become young adults.Shalom,Tamar
