JON FRIEDMAN, MILLER GEMS - JEWELER

Jon has many loyal customers, some of whom buy from him on a very regular basis.  Jon’s models showed us a beautiful array of necklaces, rings, earrings, diamonds, sapphires and other assorted gems, valued from very reasonable on up.  The three factors are selection, value and service that differentiate Jon from the typical jeweler.   His prices are a fraction of normal retail prices.   Somebody even pointed out that jewelry can be purchased as gifts or for yourself.  You can also sell old gold to Jon.  It's not too late, call Jon for holiday gifts.http://tinyurl.com/22svdyq

BRIAN WHITNEY, UBS FINANCIAL SERVICES

Brian began his presentation by telling us about a number of significant accolades that he has received this year, both in the financial world and even from The Boy Scouts of America.  Congratulations on the good work, Brian.
He then showed us the US Debt Clock.ORG, a frightening calculation of the national debt.  It does not matter whether it is a Republican majority, or a Democrat majority, having a good bipartisan mix is much better for the economy.

DAN VILLAMIL, WINDOW TINTING

Dan spoke to us this morning about Vista Energy-Saving Film a leader in high-tech window films.  Money continues to fly out your windows in part because glass is a poor insulator.  The average home loses about $760 per year in wasted heat/cool air through the windows.

Vista Film will enjoy the major benefits of existing windows, it is faster and less intrusive to install, easy to clean and for a fraction of the cost of replacement windows.  See crisper colors through the Vista tinted glass, not unlike a Hi-Def TV.  Cuts your energy costs as much as 40% in the summer! Blocks up to 84% of solar heat, reduces glare in the home.  Whether you have 70 year old windows (like my house) or newer double-paned windows, you need proper window tinting.http://tinyurl.com/22p4vdu
