Billionaires Love Diamonds and Jewelry!
Beth Braverman of National Jeweler has an excellent posting on how the jewelry industry and billionaires seem to get along incredibly well!
Indeed, a good chunk of the people on Forbes' recently released list of the world's 947 billionaires in 2007 have some connection to the diamond and jewelry industry.
Ranked at No. 2 (behind Bill Gates) is Warren Buffett, worth $52 billion, whose company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns several of the country's top jewelry chains, including Helzberg Diamonds, Borsheim's and Ben Bridge Jeweler.
Warren Buffett Loves Diamonds.
With only half the fortune of Buffett, Bernard Arnault ranks No. 7 on the list. Worth $26 billion, Arnault owns 51 percent of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, and serves as chairman of both companies. LVMH owns a bevy of luxury brands, including TAG Heuer and Zenith.
Francois Pinault, worth $14.5 billion, appears at No. 34 on the list. Pinault is the majority shareholder of luxury goods group PPR, which owns Gucci, Boucheron and Bedat & Co. He also owns Christie's auction house.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

The two selling and buying golden is effective. Should you be thinking about marketing silver which you own personal, you are likely to normally receive great offers and that you will get hold of decent money into it from buyers. Should you wish to acquire jewelry, that could confirm itself being among the finest investment opportunities you available. Distinct from cash that can get rid of the valuation based on the economic level of the united states, precious metal is invariably fairly consistent, therefore normally valuable.
