Guest Post: Is Francium the next Gold?

The following was submitted by Richard Trickle, Senior Strategist at Do-We, Screw 'Em & How

Greetings and Salutations everyone. I'm coming at you live from the Periodic Table of Elements Conference and I've got a special treat for you all tonight. *applause* When I was first asked to deliver the keynote address, frankly I didn't think any of you were worth my time. Let's cut to the chase here. I'm right and you are wrong. *applause*

What I'm about to tell you is G-14 classified so please keep this on the down-low...

Francium occurs as a result of a disintegration of actinium. Francium is found in uranium minerals, and can be made artificially by bombarding thorium with protons. It is the most unstable of the first 101 elements. The longest lived isotope, 223Fr, a daughter of 227Ac, has a half-life of 22 minutes. This is the only isotope of francium occurring in nature, but at most there is only 20-30 g of the element present in the earth's crust at any one time. No weighable quantity of the element has been prepared or isolated. There are about 20 known isotopes.

You might want to read that again. Look, I had a beer with the CEO of a francium mining company and he told me that there isn't even 10 grams at any one time! This one is a no-brainer people...Buy some francium off ebay and bury it in your backyard.. I don't need food, cash, equities or bonds. I'll be just fine with some Francium, Rhodium, a little Tungsten, a dab of Copper, a drum of Oil (currently free below the 33rd parallel N), a pinch of iron-ore with a splash of random length uncut [Canadian maple] lumber (The lumber is for diversification purposes only. I haven't figured out how to keep the buried frozen pork bellies from spoiling).

Here's a futures chart of Francium for all those who participate in the market but somehow incapable of viewing your own.

FRANCIUM BITCHES!!!!

In part 2 I will talk about the prospects of Lanthanum; a very rare earth element that is the brains behind your Lithium. It's not a matter of if, but when, we run out of palladium and rhodium from all the catalytic converters, and as a result these battery-powered cars will deplete Mother Earth of her Lanthanum. Are you positioned to profit?
