Beware of liars, the new cheap smartphone solution, how Apple was right!

All my blog entries are normally edited but I decided to post this one (unwisely) without editing. This is not a solution per se entry but a list of what is to come on this blog. Originally this blog included investing advice but I found it too difficult without insider knowledge to read behind the lines to guide investors. There are just too many liars in the money and investment world to really figure out where to put your hard earned dollars for me to read the tea leaves. The only advice I can give you is read everything you can and try to find the least diseased trees in the forest and invest in small amounts. I have won more than lost so I will now post a little investment advice.

1.  The government is lying to you if you think your 401K or IRA are safe. You need to move some of your portfolio (10% to 25%) to hard investments. However, there are many gold/hard asset investment scams also. Buyer beware as everyone is out there to rip off everyone else! The only two (my opinion after research and depending on questionable things like BBB ratings) are http://www.monex.com and http://www.swissamerica.com who are both my brokers for hard assets.
2. I really want to give you more advice such as what preferred stock I like, no-load mutual funds with low expense ratios, bonds I like an so on to invest in but I have had very mixed results. Some investments I have taken no action on hoping for recovery have reached zero, others I have sold after taking huge losses and sold only to see them recover from the thousands I lost making no sense. Others I have read news how they could never succeed such as Netflix after they went head to head with BlockBuster. I sold at $15 making a nice profit. The stock went to $256.
3. Occasionally you find a neighbor or business associate who deal honestly with you. Value them and give them money and it will pay off.

What is coming on this blog:

I'm working on cutting the cellphone bill with a HUGE NEW better smartphone release from Google. It has been leaked the phone will have a new, advanced Android OS, come in small and large sizes (my eyes need the LARGE size), integrated with Google in October. This phone will operate and work on all networks including AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. It is roomer-ed it will sell for about $600 so you can purchase and use no contract plans such as http://sale.totalwireless.com or https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/gophone.html among others. As with everything else I write about on this blog it will be and unbiased review with no financial incentive from any company. I get offered free technical devices and turn them down to keep my reviews believable.

For another blog entry based on my book:

I predicted that the back-doors, spying hardware and spying software built in to products by the NSA would one day be leaked and other countries would utilize them to hack the whole world.  This article by the Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/powerful-nsa-hacking-tools-have-been-revealed-online/2016/08/16/bce4f974-63c7-11e6-96c0-37533479f3f5_story.html shows that many, if not all the hacks the NSA has forced on companies have been leaked and our enemies are using them. These hacks would not be posted-leaked on the Internet if they had not been is use by foreign powers for quite some time. NSA how now set up every American and American company to be hacked by everyone!

This was what my book was all about and how to keep yourself from being hacked even with these backdoors. For example, I have promoted putting tape over your computer webcam for quite some time.  Turns out that is now common advice! I also talked about using German encryption because it does not have back-doors.
