Update:Vultures circle as water-speculators ramp-up

I seem to have been added to the bottom feeders mailing list, so I thought I’d add this link to their latest scheme to profit from environmental calamity.  It seems that impending famine provides another excellent opportunity for investment.

This little gem of corporate cynicism from some place called “Wealth Wire,” came by chance to me today. Their website poses the come-on question:

Is Water the new Gold?

Talk about your mixed metaphor!  

The video begins as a clumsy “documentary” discussing the many  threats to world water supplies. This perfectly valid premise is supported by a smattering of possibly credible statistics and science.

Then comes the wrap-up, where viewers, presumably now impressed with the gravity of the situation, are encouraged to subscribe to an investment newsletter that claims it will provide investors with sure-fire advice on how to profit from this world-wide crisis!

Watch this puppy and then think about it every time you are tempted to drop a dollar on commercially bottled water.
