Can a little sparkle protect you in a crisis?

In this podcast, Jerry Robinson of "Follow the Money Weekly" is joined by Tom Cloud to talk about the options for investing in diamonds.

The possibility of a new diamond-backed ETF could signal a great buying opportunity, he explains. Also, the demand and supply conditions are lining up to make 2012 another tremendous year for diamond prices.

Robinson also discusses with David White money-saving tips for small business owners.

White has been helping businesses save money for 10 years through reducing their credit card processing fees. He's processed credit cards for companies for years, and highlights the five warning signs that a small business just might want to check regarding their own charge card processing services.

Also appearing on the program is Jay Peroni, CFP, who talks about investment portfolios and investment strategies.

Finally, there's the Retirement Minute with John Bearss, who talks about an important tax planning concept.

Robinson is an economist, published author, columnist, radio talk show host and international conference speaker. He also is editor-in-chief for "Follow the Money Quarterly," and he has been quoted as an authority on the economy.
