Today's my birthday

Any donations made to "Little Brothers Friends of The Elderly" (see post below), I would be very grateful!!!

Cheers

Jim

Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly

Little Brothers-Friends of the Elderly is a national network of non-profit volunteer-based organizations committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly.  We offer to people of goodwill the opportunity to join the elderly in friendship and the celebration of life.  Without Little Brothers, our elders would spend days and weeks without a visitor, and their birthdays and holidays would pass unnoticed.

We have just launched a crowd-funding campaign, “No one Should Be Alone,” with the goal of raising $50,000 in 50 Days.  Your support and participation is important: it will ensure that all our elders will have someone with whom to celebrate the holidays, their birthdays and life itself. 
Donate today - with your gift, we can touch the hearts of more elders and embrace those who are alone.  Please visit this link and watch a short video of our elders- http://www.razoo.com/story/Little-Brothers-Friends-Of-The-Elderly-1.


I am very active in this organization, so if any of you feel you would like to make a donation, I would be very grateful!! Please email me @ jamesolivertrades@gmail.com if you do choose to make a donation...

Best
Jim

Gold is looking very good for a short setup. For those of you that don't trade futures you can look at GLL.
