Current Updates from my Favourite Experts, with this Asset!

March 13, 2014

Life at times has it's moments, for some unknown reasons things that should be simply explained, is not happening. Example, the recent flight of Malaysian airline that has been reported missing now for a few days... No concept, just propaganda of what might have happened, how can this be? Who do you really trust, anymore, do you ever ask yourself that?

Investing will always be a gamble, regardless of the stakes. You either were lead to this investment or you did it on your own. Now that you have accomplished this goal, what are your numbers providing you with as in an (ROI) return on investment? Only true language that is shared international, they all seem to understand what this all means.

So many people write about this stuff, it's like a dime a dozen, on the internet. But some understand this asset, why l decided to yes invest money, but, more importantly, dedicate my time, hard thing to buy back, if you ask me! Risk factors have always played a larger emotion with your direction. That is OK, you're not alone. But you "Need to Stop Doing What You Hate."

A lot of "hot money" has returned to this sector following double-bottom that concluded two months ago and, with commodity prices again last week and the trade-weighted dollar falling further, it could continue.

"When China first shipped her gold to the US, it was meant for reform, opening and removing US economic sanctions." This underlines the dirty game the US is playing. It demands countries store a part of their official gold reserves at the New York Fed, so ultimately only the US controls the global currency markets. At least 600 tons of Chines official reserves are stored with the Fed.

What is the Gold Standard, How Will it Effect You're Retirement?

March 8, 2014

Have not written or updated the blog for a while now, actually was doing some research, think "You" will enjoy this article. Came across a gentleman's profile over on LinkedIn, read it, like what he was doing, since we both have a commanding interest. Going to share an article he posted, from a site we both follow. Had no idea it came from that site.

The article is the Gold Standard, how will it affect your retirement? We all need to understand what the true (ROI) will provide, god only number l really care about. Tells me all l need to know, how my investment is performing, need that information, you not agree?

Here is the Story on this subject, enjoy it, as much as l have.

The gold standard is often mentioned but rarely explained. However, it's a fairly easy concept to understand.

Put simply, it is a monetary system under which economic unit of account is based on a fixed quantity of gold. That means paper currency notes are convertible directly into specific quantities of gold.

Looking a little deeper, there are 'Three Types of Gold Standard." Those are:

Gold Specie Standard: A unit of money is tied to the value of circulating gold coins or has the value of a particular gold coin in circulation. Other coins that are less valuable may also be in use. Gold bullion standard: Authorities agree to sell, for a fixed price, gold bullion on demand in exchange for currency. Gold coins are not circulated.

Gold Exchange Standard: A government that does not itself use gold species or bullion standards guarantees a fixed exchange rate between its own currency and that of another country that uses either of the gold standards. As the two currencies are tied, a gold standard is created for the country by default.

A Brief History of the Gold Standard

The gold special standard was the first gold standard system. It arose naturally due to the fact the millennial ego, several different economies in Asia started accepting gold as a currency.

Since then, different gold currencies have enjoyed of a monopoly. For example, the Middle Ages Shaw the Byzantine solidus, known as the bezant, used throughout Europe. Similarly, in 1704, the British West Indies began using gold species, Britain used a gold standard.

Canada adopted the standard in 1853, and the United States and Germany followed in 1873, the Congressional Research Service States.

Finally, however, the gold standard's popularity to wane. The Gold species standard ended in the British Empire after World War One broke out, and by 1976, the international monetary system was based purely on the fiat currency. That means that while gold retains its value as an asset, no currencies are tied directly to its value.

The "Gold Standard's" possible future

That said, efforts to back the gold standard are occurring in a variety of places.

Writing for the "Wall Street Journal," James Grant posits that pure fiat currency may not be the best system available. He "Notes.." the pure paper dollar is a contrivance only 38 years old, brand new, really, and the experiment may yet come naughty. Indeed, History and Mathematics agree that it will certainly come to naught. Paper currencies are wasting assets. In time, the lose all their value.

Grant also comment that the end of Gold Standard in the US inadvertently led to more risks being taken on Wall Street, increased borrowing and serious inflation.

Politically, some form of the gold standard has a strong appeal to niche groups. In the US, that mostly means libertarians and others who believe in minimal governments intervention in monetary policy. However, the idea gained more widespread approval when May 2011 Utah adopted a policy that saw gold and silver coins minted by the US Government made legal tender in the State.

While, as National Interest points out, implementing such a policy is a bit difficult ---- the idea of buying a cup of coffee with a $50 American Eagle coin more than $1,000 at a market price is a mathematical headache --- it indicates how popular the gold standard is to some. Other states have proposed that taxes be paid in gold and silver or that state debt is paid using metals.

Most recently, Canadian Financier Ned Goodman sad at this year's PADC Conference, "the fact is, if we return to a classical gold standard and get rid of the Federal Reserve being who we are, we will have a good time in the commodity market."

What Effect has the U.S. Economy had on the Price of Gold

February 18, 2014

The unpredictable, or is it predictable trend gold has led us over the last 12 months, no one understands why it has reacted the way it has reacted. Makes absolutely no sense to many experts or investors who follow the yellow asset.

Many experts have tried to explain its behavior, from finger pointing of central banks, governments manipulating this asset to keep the fiat currency alive and well, so they can print more money at will.

Jim Rickards wrote an article in Gold Silver Worlds, he notes that gold is technically set up for a massive rally; he has a three - to - a five-year target of between $7,000 and $9,000 per ounce. This prediction is based on a collapse of confidence in the dollar and other forms of paper currency. The Full story 

Could the U.S. Economy recovery be a baked recovery, if you take away all the fake figures that made the U.S. look like it was heading in a positive direction? What would the U.S. recovery really look like, if you took away all the fudged numbers.

Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com interviews Robert Wiedemer, best-selling author of "The Aftershock Investor." The Full Story

The U.S. Economy, like the Lucy Show at one time "Has a lot of Explaining to do." Have the books been fried on the true growth, of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), as the shared number of 3.20% to the American people in the fourth quarter of 2013? Numbers are a truly international language, we all understand if the numbers do not speak the same language. Communication problem, more than likely not a very healthy outcome.

It happens all over the world, one the biggest fibs in 2013, was when China released the (GDP) back in July of 2013, indicating it had achieved 7.5% in the second quarter of 2013. They are very impressive numbers, even to the average reader. But this story l will share with you is written by Gordon G. Chang, who understands China, Asia, and its nuclear proliferation.

The Fiat Currency has the Potential to Collapse in 2014

January 29, 2014

Been a very busy day today, watching and listening to so many factors that all have a very similar result, the fiat currency is about to collapse. Banks now want to charge a service fee for you handing them money as a deposit. Forget to imagine that, it's coming to your local bank sometime this year.

Who do we trust, with our money, certainly not our banking system? Banks have the ability to use a system most of us never figure out, called an algorithm system in which they increase your service charges by a little, each month. If you never complain they increase it again, just check your service banking fee's.

We once believed in our government, we voted them in, and now they have created a system that is punishing our future financial investments for our retirement, which we all have worked so hard for. Will we ever be able to receive our monthly RIF each month, to enjoy what we have earned, and worked for.

The greed factor has kicked in a long time ago, but it has made many very wealthy, except for the hard working stiffs, who believed in the system. Big name banks have displayed their greed. Take for example HSBC who were fined in the area of 1.9 billion dollars for supporting Mexican drug cartel money as in laundering their profits. They are still in business, bet you they made more then they had to pay as a penalty. Slap on the wrist.

Major banks the world over are changing their operations to ensure that are not laundering money. This is causing the banking system to grow more inefficient and costly. This has made bitcoin a better solution than the banking system for sending funds to some of the poorer regions of the world.

You can read more on this crises and understand what is really going on, what you hear or read is not always what is really happening. But there are a lot of experts talking about a global fiat collapse.

You did your research, knew the odds, an important factor. Understanding the process of elimination of your risk odds, is not a bad thing to have.

The Biggest Obstacle that Holds You from Success!!

January 21, 2014

We have just ordered another program on some site, which promised you so much success. We get all excited, and say this is the one that will make me "rich and fruitful." Within a very short time, it gets lost with all your other programs. That never lived up to your expectations.

Hang on; we just joined another program that is on it's "pre-lunch announcement." They say a spot and secure your position. It's the biggest decision ever on the Internet, so you did it again. How our minds work, always looking for that magical freedom dust, as in results, without any dedication or effort.

Our minds work in mysterious ways; we have the ability to control the thinking pattern, but most of us never do it. So we defeat our abilities before we provide them with an opportunity to become a reality. It happens so often; we second guess our thoughts, why is this? Been studying this thought pattern for a very long time.

The biggest investment you will ever make, also the most complicated, the most difficult one you will have to appreciate fully, or perhaps learn how to understand why it works! It's the only investment you will ever have to become well educated. Like I said, not going to be easy. Most of us can invest in any investment with money; this one is not about money. What this one is about, it will make or break your future, simple as that.

The biggest obstacle that holds you back is how you think! People pay for this advice, but unfortunately, they never understood the concept, skills involved with this investment. They were too busy, memorizes formulas that provided an (ROI) on their stocks, options, or whatever they invested their money. "This is why investments are so complicated."

Education in any specialty is a lifetime process; we can never allow our minds to accept a comfort zone. If we do not learn something new each and every day in our brand, then we have not invested wisely at all. It all of a sudden became a gamble with our investment.

I am no expert on investing, but I like my (ROI), it is a calculated risk that provides you with positive results, all that matters. Why would l allow someone who would ask me, what is your account number before you can ask questions? Sad, next time you talk to your financial advice, listen to him differently. The only thing you should understand is he cares nothing but his commission. So results are a well-calculated decision on his part unless you were on his end. Then you would also benefit, your just a file on his daily duties.

I was good at that; I played that game to an excellent return on my investment, which was my time. Only thing l understood, if l invested in my day, it's the only asset I can never buy back. So learned that my time had to be productive, wisely used. See I understand one thing, there is an international language in investing, it is called numbers, they can be abused, but they can never lie. Numbers are the "International Language of Investors." They are traceable with the feds, why they also understand this language.

Learn This Concept on WHY, and we are programmed to fail!

We are all magnificent on making excuses on why it will not work; we have an excuse for every move we make. We spend more time on why it will not work than it will not work. There is an old saying, one I need you to eliminate from here on. Misery just loves company; we feel at home. Stop doing this, right now.

Age, education, looks, who we married, schools we went to, friends, family, luck, setbacks due to a way we think. We can come up with so many excesses just the way we did it when we did not want to go to school as the child.

It could be a fact, and our minds have attached us to becoming defeated much easier than applying steps for success. Not as much work involved, and besides, so many people have tried this and failed. Why should l do this?  We only have an ability to think small, when the other has the same price, with much more financial results. Never understood them numbers, at all. So understand this concept "The Magic of Thinking Big."

So to become successful, you have to know this type of accomplishment. Learning what it takes in building confidences and destroy you fear. You have to re-read what I just shared. It's all I have, really is. The magical dust for success invests in your abilities.

It's what I share with my partners, building a solid foundation, has nothing to do with the above, we become, who we think we are sometimes. It's more than likely the greatest secret ever shared, why it is the greatest secret. Now you know the secret, use it wisely.

Second-Greatest Opportunity to Buy Gold

January 15, 2014

It's a very informative article you're about to read, covering many opportunities with gold, and why it will always have this type of demand. Regardless of what has happened with all the manipulation, for keeping this asset as the true recession proof, future currency.

Nick Barisheff President and CEO of Bullion Management Inc, located in Toronto, Ontario. Who also has shared his views with this asset, on USAwatchdog, interviewed by Greg Hunter? He illustrates and explains why he wrote his book. Gold will have a value of $10,000 per ounce,

This article was written by Nick Barisheff.

Last year the COMEX futures exchange distorted gold prices and provided investors with the second-greatest opportunity to buy gold since 2002. Precipitous drops in gold triggered sell stops and margin calls in April and June, and the Western media said that gold's bull market was over.

But in sharp contrast to the falling price of paper gold, the demand for physical gold soared. Many retail coin stores ran out of stock, and premiums climbed. The lower gold prices present a problem for miners, many of whose production costs exceed $1,200 per ounce. Also, monthly deliveries on the Shanghai Exchange surpass mine supply.

The primary driver of gold price is, and always has been, increasing money supply (inflation.) The US (and, in fact, the world) is increasing its money supply at an alarming rate. Today official US debt is $17.3 trillion. To bring the debt-to-gold relationship back into equilibrium, gold should be $1,800.

Since there is no political will to curtail debt increases or introduce austerity measures, gold will likely set new highs in 2014.

The systemic risks that cause the financial meltdown in 2008 have worsened. In 2008, the world's financial system was almost destroyed because of the $1.2 trillion in mortgages derivatives. Today interest rate derivatives alone are 450 times higher at $561 trillion, or 7 times global GDP.

Nick discusses the consequences of higher 10-year Treasury yields. Increasing debt and how it relates to GDP; demand for gold from the East versus lack of interest in the West.  Movement away from US dollar. The six reserve currencies that proceeded the dollar. Why today may be the second-greatest opportunity to buy gold since 2002; portfolio allocation; and the importance of holding physical gold bullion as opposed to paper money.

The key to success "IS" we become what we think about!

January 8, 2014

The weather has set the tone, for the New Year in 2014, cold and harsh. We all want to succeed, build a financial retirement plan that will allow us to enjoy the reasons we have dedicated and worked so hard. The problem is we have forgotten to plan this strategy. Why is that?

We are all humans, so much going on in our daily life's, and we forget to put some money towards a retirement plan. Investing with time is a commodity you will never, ever have the opportunity to get back, regardless of how much money you have or do not have.

The question is, in the morning when you wake up, is this the person you see in the mirror in your bathroom mirror? You're more than likely have a set of words you use, each and every morning! Why me, how did I get myself so behind, all I ever get is more bills? You're no different than most people in society! Not even your fault; to be upfront, and honest with you!

So where did you go wrong? You used the money for other reasons, somewhere good, but a few were bad reasons. We failed to plan our retirement future. The good thing is, we still have time to re-direct our financial future. This is really possible, not going to be easy at all, why would it be? If you have an interest, then you might want to read more?

The first thing you need to do is stop doing things you hate doing! They waste human energy and more than likely assets you cannot afford to use unwisely. So many books have been written on this topic, with very little results for one simple reason, we doubt our abilities. This is the hardest change you will ever need to make, your mindset, not a simple concept at all.

A mindset is the most important investment you will ever make, for the reason you're determined to achieve your wishes in life. We do have this ability, Earl Nightingale, shares the strangest secret, an absolute masterpiece. Listen to this masterpiece, yes it is old, but raw facts that provide results in your journey with success.

Forget all the click bank links, that promise you will make x amount of millions. If you really want to plan a financial future, listen to this over and over until it becomes reality. You will find that key, you really will, because you're investing in the most important asset, you will ever invest in, your mind.

See everything you apply in your daily life, came from this original material, everything else has been watered down, missing important ingredients, that provide the correct receipt for success in whatever it is that you define success with. Why do men with goals succeed in life and them without them fail?

This is all you really need to really understand, the strangest secret is a concept that is over looked, for the simple reason it is really that simple. The key to success is, we become what we think about. Learn this concept and you will never worry about any financial obligation again.

So let's get back to your retirement plan if you're interested in saving some money, not spending it, but investing a future with your financial obligation, then you may want to invest a little time and review this video. If you're tired of the fiat currency then you will benefit from this investment.

Review this if you want, what you should have had!!

A Year to Remember with Your Investments in Gold!

December 31, 2013

A year to remember, without any real financial logical reasons for the way gold has performed this year. Gold will more than likely close off this year in around the $1200 per ounce mark.

I strongly believe, and so do many experts feel that gold will bounce back in 2014, once all of the manipulation by central banks weeds out. Gold will bounce back with the vengeance with a true market value of somewhere in the $2000 per ounce mark.

This certainly has been the worse year since 1981 that gold has performed with annual losses with this type of behavior, unpredictable most of the year. There really was no logical determining factor on why it perform with these types of results.

Here are some of the articles, which I have followed during the year with how gold has reacted to certain crises globally. Does Gold have a Silver Lining by Lior Cohen via The Motley Fool?

The Chinese government has been advising its people to buy precious metal like gold and silver. Watch this short Presentation.  Via realecontv.com 

China’s activity with its consumption of gold in the first 6 months of this year (2013) increased, and should overtake India as world leaders in the consumption of gold, within a very short period of time.  Read more on this issue

I have been following how China is taking its creative steps, into becoming the world leader, not only with gold backing up its fiat currency but a power that is well disciplined towards a global nation, being the currency of global trading. Read more on this issue

Why investing will always be the biggest single gamble you will ever make. Several reasons play into this theory of investing that hooked me. Read more on this issue.

From an investment point of view, you just lost a small or perhaps a large portion of some advice that had no value but only hype. Hey, they sold you on the sizzle, without the most important factor your (ROI) return on investment, your efforts is not always monetary.  Read more on this issue

Just like to Wish all my "Friends" a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

December 24, 2013

The night before Christmas, how special was this day when you were a kid, you had been checking out all them gifts with your name on, under the Christmas tree. Wondering what is in the wrapping? You would pick it up, shake it when no one was around, and it did not make any noise.

They were good memories, now we watch our kids do the same things we once did. We just enjoy that moment, as we recall our own childhood memories. Christmas is all about family, friends and our loved ones, the gifts have no real meaning, but our token of appreciation seeing that smile on their face as they open up your gift.

There is so much going on in the world, now it is time to just close your mind to all that is going on, and enjoy this special time of year. The world will still be in the same shape; if you just excuse yourself for 48 hours. All the headaches, problems will still be there. We all need to start enjoying the moment, with our loved ones.

I been guilty of doing this, l suppose most have. We do not allow ourselves to understand the true meaning of what Christmas has to offer. The saddest thing l can recall on Christmas day, where retail stores that were open, why l would ask?

Then you take into consideration the greed factor of "OPEC" knowing that this is the busiest time of year for travelers, so what do they do? They increased the price of fuel, really how sad is that? Is this not taking advantage of  everyday people. This is marketing with a black eye, to take advantage of people who need to travel. What they should have done is lower the price of gas, as a token of appreciate for raping you at the pumps during the rest of the year.

Going to save that for another article. Not worth talking about it.

Hope you all make the best of the holidays and make it a special one with your loved ones Merry Christmas and very Prosperous New Year....

Hope you, and your family have a great Christmas!!

Could Gold be on a Perfect and Predictable Storm?

December 18, 2013

The key to the performance of gold is in the last ten years; there has not been a gold mine that is producing gold the way it was created back in 1971, as in South Africa's 47.5 million ounces of gold was discovered. Now fast forward the same country to 2011, it only produced 8 million ounces of gold.

There will be a global shortest of gold discoveries, making the yellow metal a hot asset. Due to Western Central Bank Manipulation, they have created what some experts call, the perfect storm for gold's comeback. Just like gold did back in the 70's, went from $35 an ounce to $850 an ounce.

The supply and demand will always control the actual value of any asset, in this case, gold can not be reproduced, allocated with the highest degree of engineering in this field. Taking into consideration that Asia has been very active in purchasing as much gold as they can obtain at a ridicules low price. Means that the supply has depleted at an alarming rate.

Now taking a view back to October 11th, gold trading was shut down for 10 seconds according to the CME, because someone sold 2 million ounces of gold at one time. Who does this? Who sells nearly two and a half percent of annual gold production in a single minute? The gold valued at over $2.5 billion could not have been sold by a small trader, and certainly not the smart money, institutional investors know you don't exit a large trade like this.

Investing can become overly complicated on a strategy that will provide you as the investor, the best possible ROI on you investment. That should be your only concern; gold has this ability for the investors who see the real potential of the yellow metal.  Gold could be the perfect storm for the wise investor. The information you will review will illustrate it's rewarding results. Just really a matter of time!

Tyler Durden on Zero Hedge shares with you information that has merit, logical financial rewards for us to just be advised on our investment directions. He shares reasons on why this "will" happen, enjoy his article, along with the video he shares. The full article, read more. Is the Perfect Storm coming for Gold?

Is China Getting a Free Ride from Central Banks?

December 13, 2013

Gold is and has been for thousands of years the best insurance against inflation, or deflation. I would much rather own gold than invest in government bonds, high-yield bonds or equities. With the uncertainty of whether deflation was to pass, it would only stimulate governments to print more money globally.

China is taking full advantage and has been buying as much gold as it can get its hands on. At last count gold imports from Hong Kong year to date was just over 1,113 tons, doubling from the previous year at this exact time last year.

Many experts are starting to blame those Western central banks, especially the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB). Many analysts are pointing fingers that central bankers are desperate to salvage their fiat currencies and eliminate competition as "monetary authorities."

The domino effect is gold prices have deflated and putting China on a winning streak for buying gold at basement bargain prices. Many analysts also believe that central banks are manipulating the price of gold as a trade off with China, for not unloading U.S. Treasury Securities and other government debt.

It will only be a matter of time before the Chinese government's expanding the role of the Renminbi within international markets. This will certainly bring an end to the U.S. dollar being the choice as the currency to be used by international markets for goods.

In an article written by Vronsky via Gold Eagle, he illustrates this example. If gold price ran parallel with China's total foreign reserves, then the yellow metal today should be approximate $5,162 per ounce. Today's severely discounted gold price is a blessing for those who know financial history and who are patient, as in character with China's historical culture. Read the Full Article

33 Years Ago, December 8th, John Lennon!

December 8, 2013

Well today, exactly 33 years ago we lost an icon, in John Lennon as I carefully listen to imagine as I write this article. I recall the exact place, time, and what l was even wearing that day. When I heard it on the television news cast, tears came to my eye's.

I was never really a "Beatles Fan," but l enjoyed their music, but John was the man in that band I admired, for his writing abilities, how he planted words, and painted a story, which had meaning, and most of all; reasons for him sharing his lyrics, with us the audience.

Sometimes life comes to a sudden end, without any real logical sense, behind the reasons for why it happened. We just never know our time, words will not bring John back and it just provides all of us, who knew, or followed John, with sweet memories that will never die, along with a smile.

All I recall was the world was in shock, over the tragic, unforeseen circumstances.  Took a matter of seconds to send the whole world into shock till this day, 33 years later, we still show our grief to a legend, that made us all, dream about what a peaceful world would be like, with No wars, imagine!

John and Yoko Ono held  a strong belief in their political views on the "Vietnam War," that was going on at the time. John and Yoko; where at their closes sharing their feelings that meant so much to each other. The true meaning of giving back at a level, very few ever think about doing. John and Yoko dedicated their beliefs, to a meaningful way of saving lives.

I have two close friends that were born on this day December 8th, so l get to understand life and death. I did call one of them and wished them a happy birthday. So if John was alive he would end this article with words along these's lines. Enjoy each, and every breath you take, and the moments you have to enjoy them.

33 Years Ago, December 8th, John Lennon!

Not many would reply, to their teachers
with this answer!!

Yoko and John outside the Dakota,
their home

The complete family
John, Yoko and Julian!

Please leave your thoughts, on what John Lennon might have meant to you growing up, and has his lost reminded you of many of his quotes, he shared with us all? Dedicate this article to the late John Lennon, Yoko and their son Julian imagine.

Why is a Mind Set, So Important for Success!

November 29, 2013

Why is a mindset so important for your success? Most people can not do it, so they never focus on what they want, but focus on what they do not want. Think of what I just shared with you, it is so much easier on dwelling on the problem than the solution.  

We beat our self-esteem before we provide our abilities with the positive mindset, that will lead us to that, milk, and honey we all have heard of. We can have anything we want in life! The best-kept secret from the most successful people who have achieved success is a simple process, that is the most difficult one to actually accomplish. Makes no sense, it's simple but complicated.

Complicate, for this reason, we spend more energy, on why it will not work, then on why it will work. The mind, and how you think, will produce the exact results you dwell on. We dwell on the bills we need to pay each month, and all our other obligations we need to meet. So this certainly attracts more negative activity that we need to spend energy on. Really a waste of time, without positive results.

Henry Ford once shared a quote. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, either way, you are right." what this means is, whatever you think in your mind, the results will occur. The mind is what prevents us all from achieving success. This is a proven fact, that has been studying over, and over again. We have planted the seed for our destination, either way, we are right. With what will happen!

Why I stated earlier, that this is such a simple, but complicated process. We all want success, we mean well, but the only thing holding us back from achieving these's results is the way we think. This should make sense to you. Close your eye's for a few minutes and thinks about what I just shared with you. Review in your inner mind, how you have reacted to your thinking, did it not control your end results?

So how do you get the correct mindset? Different for all of us, some listen to tapes, read books on this subject, but most just accept failure, because they lack the ability to think that success can "NOT" be achieved. They attract and focus on all the reasons they will not become successful. Sad but again, our mindset will lead us in this direction.

Here are three video's that can correct your mindset!

I do listen to them each day, how I listen, not important, I just make time for me to listen to then, and remind me of what I need to do. The one's that provide my mind with results are as followed. How and what you decide in the end is what matters, what works for me, may or may not work for you. But l think you will appreciate them.

Gary Vaynerchuk, from vine TV, provided me with some key phrases, that made me think. He illustrates what it takes to change your life, and the direction you want to achieve. Watch it Now!!

How Bad do You Want Success, is about the ability of how bad you really want to have success in your life, and what your willing to give up to obtain this type of success. Part One of How Bad You Want Success

How Bad do You Want Success, Part Two, this is real to the point, some of you who watch this, may understand what this message is all about? See what your mind thinks, it will achieve it. Simple but so complicated, you can do this. I have and so have so many others, enjoy your journey. Part Two of How Bad You Want Success

Wow, What Happened to Gold, Who do you listen too?

November 26, 2013

Wow, what happened to gold, it is on a roller coaster ride again? Is this a good sign or is at a bad sign with the direction gold is going? If you ask China, they are happy with how it is performing so far. Why would they not be happy, since all it means, is they get to accumulate more gold at a bargain price?

With Iran's agreement, limiting its nuclear program for sanctions relief. Could play a factor on the direction gold is taking, exactly what central banks and governments want. No war or talks of wars means no need for gold to rise. It's a very uncertain market, one that will have huge results for investors. There is no real time limited on how gold will perform. One important factor to concern as an investor, there will be a shortest of this asset.

Investing in any investment takes time, patience and also dedication. World trends and media play such a manipulative game, that it is so hard to understand what the left hand is doing. This is where education, history kicks in. Gold has been around, since the three wise man, actually presented Jesus with gold as a gift.

Patience is what will make, or break your investment with this asset, gold. Do you sell and recover your losses, and move on, or take a small profit, depending on when you bought it? We all have questions without any real solutions. Who do you listen too? Is more than likely the most important question you need to have answered.

You could review all the articles on this topic; some might make a little sense not a lot. Gold will always outlive the fiat currency, that is why it is being manipulated. How can governments print gold, like they do with the paper money? Governments are under these's harsh, uncertain times, and need that flexibility to meet their obligations. This has been going on all of our lives.

Let us review some of the top articles on this subject and see what is really going on, with gold. You think you were confused with what is happening in global financial crises. Think of how crude oil play's in the commodities game, media controlled as well as government-controlled. Governments benefits, additional revenue from taxes that we all pay, when we all fill our vehicles with gas.

Some interesting articles on this topic, hope you review all of this, and it also benefits and encourages your thinking on this type of investment, on how it actually works!

A few reviews to educate, or perhaps provide more questions for you to think about, rather than solutions. Who do you listen too? You need to listen to the person that is putting up the investment, you. After all; your the one who may lose or win, play your odds correctly. So listen to your gut, and educate yourself.

Now let's take it to another level of investing with a gut feeling, that is well financially educated. This could also happen, and provide you with a very lucrative return on your (ROI). Investing is always going to be a very complicated risk, for all of us.

How Big Are China’s Real Gold Reserves?

November 20, 2013

Came across this article written by Lawrence Williams on a subject that l have had an interest and wrote a few articles on. China's accumulation of gold, and how they have been able to keep the world from understanding how much metric tons of gold they actually own.

China has been playing this game since 2009, with a straight face, and declaring the same amount of gold since 2009. How do they get away with all of this? Lawrence Williams reveals some of the strategists, China has been using rather effectively.

The key here for China is keeping gold prices down, for the simple reason they can accumulate more metric tons at a bargain. This makes perfect sense, buy low sell high, what we all aim at when investing. So keeping the true amount of how many metric tons they actually have, works wonders for this concept.

Lawrence Williams shares this article on Seeking Alpha

There is much speculation over the quantification of China's gold reserves. Are they only 1,054 metric tons as the official figures would have us believe? Or are they considerably higher as many gold analysts suggest? And what game is China playing if they are?

The Chinese impact on global demand is key to likely gold price performance in the months and years ahead and thus of major significance for the investor in gold bullion, ETFs and gold stocks. China is already almost certainly the world's largest consumer of gold this year and is likely to absorb at least 1,500 metric tons of the yellow metal purely through imports through Hong Kong plus its own gold output - it is currently the world's No. 1 producer with 2013 output estimated as likely to be in order of 430 metric tons by the China Gold Group.
