I'm taking my son back to college and have found it necessary to be away longer than I expected.

As a result, I'm going to take this week off and not publish the Weekly Update today.

The next Update will be Friday, Aug. 22, and I want you to know that it will cover the news and events for both weeks -- so you won't miss out on any important information.

Of course, I'll send an Alert any time events warrant.

As always, you can visit The 25% Cash Machine Web site to find back issues and updates, and to keep track of your 25% Cash Machine portfolio.

See you next Friday,

Bryan Perry
