Here’s why you should never buy and hold gold

Image result for gold bars
Buying and holding a commodity like gold may be the most ignorant strategy ever…
That’s a heresy to some gold “experts” who think they can predict its price direction.
But here’s the cold hard truth: The market doesn’t care about what you, I, or any “expert” thinks should happen.
To make money from gold, you’re either on the right side or the wrong side of the price trend.
Today, I’m going to show you how to be “right” when investing in gold…

Bionic eye that restores sight to the blind is made available on the NHS: £150,000 device uses tiny video camera to transmit images to a chip on the back of the eyeball

Partially sighted pensioner Raymond Flynn, 80, from Audenshaw, Manchester, had his central vision restored for the first time in nearly a decade after he received a 'bionic eye'

A bionic eye which restores sight to blind people is to be made available on the NHS for the first time.
The £150,000 system beams images from a tiny video camera to a chip implanted at the back of the eye, allowing patients who have been blind for decades to see again.
Up to 320 people in Britain with retinitis pigmentosa – an inherited disease that causes blindness – could eventually benefit from the Argus II system.
NHS England will fund it for ten patients in a 12-month pilot starting next month. They will then be assessed for a year before officials decide whether to roll the system out more widely in early 2019.

Berlin's most wanted: Police hunt 'armed and dangerous' Tunisian asylum seeker, 23, after his ID is found under lorry driver's seat at scene of Christmas market massacre

Most wanted: Police today revealed they are hunting Anis Amri, 23, pictured, a refugee who came to Germany earlier this year. His paperwork was found in truck's footwell. The driver is believed to be armed and dangerous

This is the Tunisian asylum seeker who has become Europe's most wanted man after his ID was found under the seat in the lorry used to massacre 12 people at a Berlin Christmas market.
Police today revealed they are hunting Anis Amri, 23, a refugee who came to Germany earlier this year. His paperwork was found in truck's footwell.
He is probably armed, 'highly dangerous' and a member of a 'large' Islamic organisation and has weapons training abroad, security sources say.
The suspect was also in contact with a 'network of leading Islamist ideologists'.  
Amri, who was born in the desert town of Tataouine in 1992 – a well-known ISIS stronghold close to the Libyan border - was apparently recently arrested for GBH but vanished before he could be charged.
In August 2016 he was arrested with a fake Italian passport and released but his phone was said to be monitored. He then disappeared in December, according to Die Welt. 
A Facebook profile in his name shows 'likes' linked to Tunisian terror group Ansar al-Sharia, a Tunisian group with followers linked to extremists who murdered 22 at Tunis' Bardo Museum in March 2015 and then 39 tourists at a beach resort in Sousse 
Amri has temporary permission to stay in the country but was due to face an asylum hearing.
Despite an unfolding international manhunt the first pictures of him released in Germany have his eyes deliberately covered, thought to be because of strict privacy laws there. MailOnline has uncovered unblurred images. 
Police are believed to have found blood in the truck's cab and now assume that the suspect may be badly injured.
Squads of officers have been to every hospital in Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg. They also arrested another unnamed suspect in connection with the terror attack but have since ruled him out. 
Amri was living in Berlin but a police operation is now underway in North Rhine-Westphalia - the industrial region of Germany containing Cologne, Dortmund and Bonn. His ID was issued on the town of Kleve close to the border with the Netherlands and Belgium.

Voyeur accidentally reveals his identity when he films himself installing a camera in a public toilet

Caught: A voyeur has revealed his identity after filming himself installing a camera in a public bathroom in Rostov-on-Don, Russia

A voyeur accidentally revealed his identity after he filmed himself installing a spy camera in a public toilet.
The man, who appears to be in his late fifties, caught himself in his own footage when he was placing a video camera in a toilet in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. 
The video was then released by an anonymous man who warned: 'Anyone can become a victim of this pervert.'
It has now sparked a search for him. 
He is believed to have spent years installing hidden cameras in public bathrooms such as theatres, schools, museums and hospitals, and then selling the footage online.
He has always eluded the authorities and his identity had remained a secret, but this new video brings renewed hope of his capture. 
The clip shows a balding man with glasses, wearing blue jeans and a distinctive striped shirt.

Pedestrians have been wearing masks to protect themselves from pollution in Beijing, as smog shrouds northeast China

Heavy smog suffocated northeast China for a fifth day Tuesday, with hundreds of flights cancelled and road and rail transport grinding to a halt under the low visibility conditions.
More than 20 cities have entered a state of red alert since Friday evening, implementing emergency measures aimed at cutting emissions and protecting public health from the toxic miasma.
Across the region, construction sites closed and authorities reduced the number of vehicles allowed on the roads in hopes of reducing the thick haze.
In Shijiazhuang, the capital of northern Hebei province, planes could not take off or land, according to a post on a verified social media account of the city's international airport.
Levels of PM 2.5 -- microscopic particles harmful to human health -- climbed to 844 in the area, according to the web site aqicn.org.
The number is almost 34 times the World Health Organization's recommended maximum exposure level of 25 over a 24-hour period.

The Russian ambassador to Ankara was shot dead in an attack at an art gallery in the Turkish capital on Monday by a gunman shouting “Don’t forget Aleppo”.
A Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman confirmed the death of envoy Andrey Karlov, which marked one of the most serious spillovers of the Syria conflict into Turkey.
Russia is a close ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and its air strikes were instrumental in helping Syrian forces end rebel resistance last week in the northern city of Aleppo.
The Anadolu news agency said the gunman had been “neutralized” soon after the attack, Relations between Moscow and Ankara have long been fraught over the conflict, with the two supporting opposing sides.
The attacker was smartly dressed in black suit and tie, and standing behind the ambassador as he made a speech at the art exhibition, a person at the scene told Reuters.
“He took out his gun and shot the ambassador from behind. We saw him lying on the floor and then we ran out,” said the witness, who asked not to be identified.
A Reuters cameraman at the scene said gunfire rang out for some time after the attack.
A video showed the attacker shouting: “Don’t forget Aleppo, don’t forget Syria!”
As screams rang out, the gunman could then be seen pacing about and shouting as he held the gun in one hand and waved the other in the air.
