In my constant search for real live traders I came across Dirk du Toit... Dirk is a professional trader who trades for a living. He walks the walk and will assist you every step step of the way. It still amazes me every time I search "trading" to see all the new so called trading "experts" out there. Another day, another expert, all vying to reach the top of the heap. And each one has got ANOTHER easy money-making trading system. Doesn't it irritate you that once you probe a little deeper the "experts", "trainers" and "course providers" are mostly failed traders turned "mentors", or Internet marketers? It's time for a change, and Dirk du Toit, is exactly that, a change from all these 'so called' Gurus, he's a real live trader who has put together an astonishing course and at under $70 it's way under priced. Like I said, Dirk is a professional trader who trades for a living. He walks the walk and will assist you every step step of the way.

Auction NewsWeb Site Offering Property At A Steal. Made in China. Stolen in Florida and recovered by Boynton Beach police. The booty of South Florida crime victims is for sale on the Internet, on a Web site called propertyroom.com. At least, that's what the Web site is called for those who want to take advantage of someone else's suffering. For the victims, the people who want their stolen jewelry and goods returned, the site can be accessed at stealitback.com. The site specializes in helping police departments dispose of unclaimed property. The first load of recovered items from the Boynton Beach Police Department went to propertyroom.com in the spring. It was mainly bicycles, the most recovered item in the city and one hard to track to an owner. Propertyroom.com picks everything up three times a year and might increase the frequency of pickups, said Bill Mann, evidence custodian for Boynton Beach police. "It keeps stuff moving," Mann said. "We have stuff coming in every day, almost all day long. Every arrest has evidence." Boynton Beach used to auction the recovered goods once a year, which meant lots of storage space and sometimes rusting bicycles. That's in addition to watches, necklaces, rings, old coins, stereo equipment and other valuables. "The city auctions always lost money," Mann said. "We'd get a small turnout of people bidding, and we had to hire auctioneers and pay city employees to handle the goods." The more frequent auctions by propertyroom.com allow a better return. Propertyroom.com gets 50 percent of the sale price, but the city doesn't get a dime of it, Mann said. The money is put into a special fund that is earmarked, as required, for the state Department of Education. Boca Raton police are negotiating a contract with propertyroom.com, said evidence custodian Farrah Pearson. The city used to hold an auction but discontinued it several years ago. The auction was time-consuming with no direct financial return, because the money has to go to the state school fund, Pearson said. The city would get a percentage of the sale price with propertyroom.com, and that percentage would go to the state education fund, as required, she said. For now, the city is holding the recovered items and considering donating some of them to the Salvation Army until an agreement with propertyroom.com can we finalized, Pearson said. Delray Beach used to auction recovered items along with surplus goods, including police and maintenance vehicles, purchasing manager Jackie Rooney said. Those auctions brought in $70,000 to $80,000 a year, she said. But the city no longer owns the warehouse where it stored the goods. The City Commission in June approved sending the items, including the vehicles, to the Palm Beach County Thrift Store. The thrift store, at 3323 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach, disposes of the surplus, including the vehicles, at nine auctions a year. The county gets a small percentage of the sale price for handling the city's surplus items, said Julie Fischer, executive assistant for Delray Beach Public Works. The police evidence items are separately tagged and recorded, and the county forwards the proceeds directly to the state education fund, as required, Fischer said. In addition to goods recovered from crimes, some items on propertyroom.com are unclaimed from lost and found. "Somebody may lose a purse and it may have a cell phone in it, or someone may lose a briefcase and it may have a computer in it," explained Michael Rigg, property room supervisor for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. --------------------------------------------------
Abandoned Lot Auction Planned. The sale of more than 2,000 abandoned lots in North Port is scheduled to begin Jan. 19. Doug Dennison, assistant vice president of Fisher Auctions, has toured some of the available lots in North Port, and he knows that not all of them are in pristine condition. "Some are great, and some are not so great," Dennison said at a recent Chamber of Commerce Networking at Noon luncheon. "They're in areas where you need a truck to get to them, or there are lots of potholes." That's why the company wants to remind everyone that the lots will be sold "as is." Potential buyers should inspect the property before the auction, so they are aware of any issues the lot may have. Some lots may not be connected to city utilities, for example. Three large blocks of lots will be sold in phase one of the auction. All three of these groups will be offered at auction between Jan. 19 and Feb. 20. Phase one will be open to Internet bidders as well as to those who want to submit written bids. Lots will be sold individually during this phase. Phase two of the auction will include all lots not sold in phase one (all remaining unsold lots from the three large groups). These remaining lots will be sold at a live auction to be held on Tuesday, Feb. 28, at the North Port Performing Arts Center at North Port High School on Price Boulevard. These remaining lots will be sold in groups ranging from five to 100 lots. Internet bids will also be accepted on a live, fully interactive site. All lot sales will be coordinated through Watson Title Insurance, Inc. The city of North Port is splitting the anticipated $70 million proceeds with Sarasota County with a small portion going to the Sarasota County School Board for local schools. Fisher Auctions has already set up a Web site in conjunction with Sarasota County that details some aspects of the lot sale. At press time, the site is incomplete, but currently includes a draft map of the areas where lots are located, as well as the phases during which lots will be sold. A list of the lots and their addresses, all documents necessary for completing a transaction, as well as a more detailed map currently under construction, will be available both on-line and at the company's temporary offices at the old North Port Yacht & Country Club building by Dec. 10. For more information, visit the city's Web site at cityofnorthport.com or fisherauctions.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------
Heritage to Auction Jules Reiver’s Unique 1797 Large Cent (NC-7 B-30) in January. An apparently unique Large Cent, discovered by numismatist Jules Reiver in 1968, will be included among the thousands of fascinating varieties being offered by Heritage Numismatic Auctions at their January 23-28 Signature Auction featuring The Jules Reiver Collection. The Auction is being held at Heritage’s world headquarters in Dallas, Texas. The Signature Auction will contain more than 4,000 varieties from Mr. Reiver’s collection, with thousands more offered in the accompanying Online Session. “Since Jules Reiver discovered this previously unknown variety in 1968,” noted Senior Cataloger Mark Borckardt, “not a single additional example has come to light – and hundreds of specialists have been searching through thousands of coins. In fact, there has never even been a rumor of another. While there have been many discovery pieces in numismatics over time, they are typically followed by additional examples as numismatists closely examine every possible coin. Even more atypically, Mr. Reiver left us an extremely detailed description of the discovery and his thought process.” “Jules Reiver’s collection is, in a word, astonishing,” explained Heritage President Greg Rohan. “This consummate numismatist sought varieties when ‘experts’ didn’t often bother, and then convinced a new generation of numismatists why they should care. His level of understanding was supreme, his eye for detail unparalleled, and his willingness to share information extraordinary. And so friendly was he to the community that the name ‘Jules’ was invoked by numismatists from coast to coast when arguments needed to be settled.” Mr. Reiver’s detailed description of his discovery experience appeared in the November 1968 issue of Penny-Wise: "Not too long ago I was attributing a 1797 large cent which grades almost Fine. The date is close. The planchet is dark and reasonably smooth. All of the devices and legends are sharp except 97, the point of the bust, UN of UNITED, and OF. In these areas the dies are obviously clashed or sinking. Evidence of die clashing is plainly seen from the neck to the jaw, in front of the eye, and behind the head. There is a triangular break through the T toward the R in LIBERTY. The R has a straight tail. On the reverse, there are five berries on each side of the wreath. There are stems, the right of which, if extended, would touch the left tip of A and bisect the C; and there is an engraver's mark from the fraction to the right ribbon. A curved break extends from the top serif of the crossbar in the E of AMERICA and passes through the uppermost serif of the E towards the R. "Looking through the key (Table 12) in Penny Whimsy, I eliminated all varieties for attribution except the S-141. The reverse on my coin, however, did not match the reverse of the S-141. The tip of the leaf under the D reaches only the upright on the S-141, whereas on my coin the tip of the leaf reached the center of the D. So I was back where I started. "Next, I studied the plate of each reverse very carefully. As I neared the end of the 1797's, I began to doubt my eyes and my ability. Then I came to Rev. S of the S-142. My coin was a perfect match for it, and the written description fit also. I couldn't understand how I had missed it the first time, until I checked the obverse which was not even close. I went back to the reverse and again checked each plate. There was no doubt about it. My coin was Rev. S. "Now I began to realize that my coins was possibly a new variety. I very carefully checked each obverse of 1797 to see if the obverse of my coin matched an existing one or was a new die. When I came to Obv. 11 of S-133, I knew that it was the right one. I couldn't see a scratch from the B to the rim as on the S-133, but the V-shaped break through the T to the R clinched it. Obv. 11 is matched only with Rev. J, a stemless variety, in Penny Whimsy, and an Obv. 11-Rev. S combination is not mentioned. "My specimen is evidently a later striking of Obv. 11. There is a heavy die crack from the rim at the level of the bust, to the lowest point of the neck, and then across the bottom of the neck. Another break starts at the rim below the lowest curl, then runs diagonally upward and to the right through the curls and shoulder towards the other break. I believe that these breaks link up and that the smaller section of the die sinks. The 9 of the date is weak, and the 7 is almost gone. The lower tip of the bust is very weak. The reverse is blank at this point, showing that there was insufficient pressure on stamping. Assuming that my coin represents a new variety, the die mating chart for the 1797's will need to be revised. "My good friend, George Ramont, an expert on attributing large cents, checked the coin for me. I did not give him my conclusions, but let him attribute the coin one side at a time. He came up with the same results. Next, I showed the coin to Walter Breen who agreed with the attribution and entered the specimen in his notes as NC-7, a unique and new variety of 1797." Mr. Reiver’s article was immediately followed by a complete discussion of the new variety by Walter Breen, who also revised the emission order for these coins based on this new discovery. Borckardt has described the coin as follows: “1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems. NC-7, B-30, R.8--Environmental Damage--NCS. VG Details. VG8 EAC. Dark olive surfaces with splashes of steel color at the left obverse. The surfaces have only the faintest corrosion. Die sinking creates the localized weakness at 97 of the date, mentioned by Reiver in his article about this coin. A few tiny areas of bubbly red corrosion are visible on the reverse. Ex: Carl Wattenbarger (8/1968).” --------------------------------------------------------- A Veritable ABC of Fine Irish Names. IN the run up to the festive season we will be spoiled for choice when it comes to attending Irish art sales. Of course few will complain, for after the feast comes the famine. And the month of January will, as usual, be a lean one for sales of most kinds. Anyway, on Wednesday Dublin-based de Veres puts its offering under the hammer. What a fine collection of paintings grace its high quality catalogue. Right across the alphabet flow familiar names like Ballard, Egginton, Flanagan, Gillespie, McAuley, McCaig, Dan O'Neill and many others. Centre piece to it all is Jack Yeats' 'Blackbird bathing in Tir na nOg' which is estimated to make €700,000. For the less adventurous bidder there are many others which, while they will go for a lot less, will nevertheless be as well appreciated by their new owners. Viewing starts today and continues until Wednesday evening with the sale, at the RHA Gallagher Gallery, starting at 6pm. Galleria While in Dublin drop in at the Molesworth Gallery, to view Donaghadee-born Elizabeth Taggart's exciting exhibition. There is much on offer but, for me, the Frida Kahlo-like works are really outstanding. The Eakin Gallery opened its Christmas show today with a strong collection of exhibits. Standing well among them is a collection of twelve recent paintings by Tom Kerr, which will please his many followers. The versatile George Callaghan is well represented with works ranging from Mourne vistas to intense musicians. This fine exhibition runs until Christmas eve. Around the sales Ross's: a platinum and diamond solitaire ring topped the prices at £2,400 followed by a mahogany Queen Anne telescopic table at £1,250 and a Victorian two door bookcase at £980. Other lots: cased double weight keyhole Vienna clock £460; Jack Pakenham - Winter Landscape, £460. Ross's Basement: Victorian mahogany two door bookcase, £950; diamond bar brooch, £670; 18ct gold three stone diamond ring, £600; 18ct gold, sapphire and diamond ring, £280; antique drop leaf table, £195; 4 bottles of Millennium malt whiskey, £170. Morgans: Victorian gallery back sideboard, £350; mirror back sideboard, £280; w/c drawing signed Morrison, £190; carved walnut hall chair, £170; 6 walnut dining chairs, £160; telescopic dining table, £160.
