Businessman-Turned-Artist Retires On Greek Island, Discovers Oil & Gold

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

A few years ago, Podalenios found himself staring at the ceiling of the intensive care ward in a hospital cardiac unit, with a nurse asking him for contact details of his nearest relative.

“It was then that I decided to alter my way of life” he said. Previously an international businessman (US, Australia & New Zealand) with a stressful lifestyle, doctors now advised against returning to his former work, so a new life pathway was required.

“I’d given up my dreams of an art career at an early age due to family responsibilities”, he explains. Then 59, he went back to university for a Fine Arts Master’s Degree, and took up his art career where he’d left off 40 years before - this time, on an island in the Greek Aegean.

“I’ve become known here as Podalenios (aka Harry Allen), supplementing my pension by selling my artwork on the islands of Mykonos, Santorini and others,” he says.

When the global economic downturn began to curtail artwork sales, he looked for an alternative income. An old friend and former New York business associate directed him to a commodities trader domiciled on the Mediterranean isle of Malta.

“He told me I could make money trading oil futures and spot gold. Of course, I was dubious”, Podalenios says. “I had no experience to guide me.”

“I started analyzing the performance pattern of his trading system on the official NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) and London Bullion (gold) Market daily trading charts. Following a period of observation, it became quite apparent that this fellow had a very effective system for making money in the oil and gold markets!”

Shortly afterwards, Podalenios opened an account on the internet to trade oil futures and spot gold, using ‘the system’. “I’ve been delighted with the results over the past 6 months. Word’s gotten around - friends and others have been curious and wanted to know all about it.”

“I’ve responded to their queries by setting up a website at http://www.RealMoneyBiz.com, to explain how it works and help others get started.”

“It’s good fun, a mind-stimulating challenge, a welcome break from day-to-day hassles and potentially very profitable”, he says. “If you follow the instructions, stick to the system rules and observe the expert advice posted on the ‘members site’, it’s fairly simple to be able to make profitable trades, consistently.”

“I’ve nothing to sell on my website. I simply want to share with others the rewarding opportunity that came my way when I became involved in oil and gold trading”, Podalenios told EIN.

He added, “One feature that attracted me is that the potential profitability of oil and gold trading is virtually unaffected by local, regional or global economic conditions.”

Podalenios can be reached by email from his website at http://www.RealMoneyBiz.com.

Is Mervyn managing the pound down?

Friday, September 25th, 2009

/EIN Presswire/ Following continued coverage of the pound’s dramatic slide against the euro and dollar, I wanted to get in touch and offer comment from Adam Bobroff, regular CNBC commentator and director of dealing at foreign exchange specialist Foremost Currency.

Adam comments, “It appears that Mervyn King is managing sterling’s rate down to prop the city up.

“With the blame for sterling’s decline rightly laid at Mervyn’s door, it begs the question; does he have an agenda in deliberately damaging the pound to help our trade balance on exports? True - a weak pound will make financial products, the UK’s only major export, more attractive to overseas buyers. However this is short-sighted expediency at its very worst.”

“This is what is known in the trade as a ‘managed’ or ‘dirty’ float; an exchange rate system for the central bank to manage fluctuations in order to attract or detract capital flows. And it’s a very dangerous game to play.”

Please get in touch if you would like to speak in more detail with Adam regarding his views, to discuss the long term effects of deliberately managing the pound down and the fact that while it will make UK exports appear more attractive, the knock on effect on the cost of imports to the UK, such as food, could be exceedingly damaging.
