Fishermen discover 20 people dead on a boat drifting toward Turks and Caicos
Fishermen made a disturbing discovery late last week that sparked an investigation into the deaths of several people.
A boat with 20 dead passengers was seen approximately a mile away from Grand Turk island, according to authorities. Two children were among the deceased.
Officials from the Turks and Caicos Islands said that they do not suspect foul play, but were not able to provide additional details regarding the cause of the deaths. They also did not yet know where the boat was headed, or where the travelers hailed from.
The marine branch of the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force transported the boat to land.
He believes the group originated outside of the Caribbean.

Why cash will be at the center of the next crisis

Are you the kind of investor who wants to cash out whenever the market gets hinky?
By “hinky,” I mean too high. Too volatile. Too far out of line with the normal P/E ratios and other key metrics.
I can’t blame you if you want to run to cash. It sometimes makes good sense.
Cash not only gives you a feeling of safety and security, but it also provides you with investment capital to use when the market bottoms out. As the old saying goes,
“Nobody ever went broke taking a profit.”
But this time is different.
Because when the next crisis comes — and I believe it’s coming soon! — cash will be at the center of the storm.
Until you watch it here, do yourself a favor: Don’t rely on the “safety” of cash.
