What are your options when investing with gold?

October 18, 2013

The most logical financial reason is Governments, cannot reproduce gold as they can, with the fiat currency, paper money.  It's why gold, will provide financial benefits, in our retirements future investments.

Gold and many other investments have had a ridicules roller coaster ride recently. Investing is always going to be a calculated risked, without a doubt. If you think differently, watch your investments vanish.

Difficult to understand why it has reacted the way it has to all the news from Congress. Is it being used as a cover up, to resolve all the other financial fiscals? Shutdowns, the debt ceiling, unemployment, foreclosures and cities in America declaring bankruptcy.

Gold will always have a demand, for the simple reason; it has a value that will be hard to compete. China has taken the role to becoming the worlds’ most successful currency and overtakes the American dollar as the most trusted fiat currency.

No one can predict how much gold China has in their back pocket. They have played a brilliant game of poker. They have the hand of a lifetime. They have the control of this asset, not just yet, but they are on their way.

They will be able to monitor the fiat currency, backed by their holdings, “with this asset, gold.” The question is how much gold is actually in Fort Knox? We all have heard rumors, so no need to bring it up. There is no gold locked up; it is all on loan, what they call "loan gold" more than one person buys the same bar of gold. How many own it, another myth.

Why l decided to take some time off, from writing on this topic. Had to understand the trends, effects, and why it was reacting the way it was. Finally seen a trend, on why it reacted the way it was! The newest trend that was introduced a long time ago has the same effect. Propaganda created by the media. Is what controls all commodities, options, stocks and your assets?

All you have to do is drive a vehicle to see the up’s and downs, of how OPEC, controls how far you drive. Gas prices are an absolute factor with hyperinflation! Transportation kicks in, so everything that is delivered is increased due to fuel prices.

Food is the biggest factor, with hyperinflation we all need to eat and feed our loved ones. You see it at your local grocery store, meat, vegetables, bread; daily items we use have all, increased in price. It's only the tip of the iceberg. Could share numbers, but who cares? They are only going up in price, so not going to make a difference.

On this blog, there are many logical ways you can protect yourself and play your hand as efficiently as you can, with the odds being perceptive. Still may not work out well, after all; investing will always be a gamble. Only 2 percent of the world’s population invests in gold.

Some of you who read this article may feel; the same way l did. Here is an article that can provide solutions on how to protect your future savings or how to save for your retirement.  

You can do it, in this time frame, or you can do it, in this period.  All you have to do is pick one!

All the Best,

The End of America. There Will Be No Economic Recovery, Because!

September 30, 2013

There is so much riding this evening, with the American way of conducting business, on a global platform! President Obama is under a server amount of pressure. Making it 17 years, since the last occurring’s, at this magnetite that took place.

How can you overcome issues, which have a need, and demand survival? America needs to increase borrowing to avoid defaulting on their debt, beyond September 30, 2013. This with a fiat currency; just is not going to look, overly impressive.

Could Congress be heading towards a government shutdown?  With the Republican leaders in American House of Representatives refusal to President Barack Obama’s demand for additional printed money to run the government beyond the request date of September 30, 2013, so it may perhaps avoid default.

It will play, with many financial factors, according to Central Banking systems of rating and distribution of funds. Could China have a trump card? What if they called their loan, what would America do? What if they want their payment in gold, as the asset, avoiding, the fiat currency?

Whenever an investment of gold is made, it is a vote against central banks credibility with savers still further. It can also be considered a measurement of mismanaging of money by central banks.

Even if the American Government, in a last minute agreement that could avoid a shut-down, financial markets will still face the effects of a $16.8 trillion debt ceiling by the middle of October. It could cause major concerns for the next political stand-off.

Many analysts indicate with a soft dollar, with U.S. bond yields improving, which would support the gold prices. For investors who desire a safe investment during this time of uncertainty, should consider investing in gold according to the experts. As the dollar continues to face daily challenges, this will certainly have an impact on the direction of gold as a future provider of your retirement pension plan.

How Gold Performed last week, and some of the reasons why

September 23, 2013

Gold's performance last week had unpredictability inclination that investors need to get used too when investing successfully in this asset. With the announcement of the previous week's Federal Reserve decimal easing, gold took a nose dive as low as $1,292 per ounce, and then it rebound to a high of $1,375. an ounce. Closing the week off at $1,326.

With news that the Fed's had a no tapering decision, astound the markets, which were expecting central banks to taper its monthly input program by as much as 15 Billion in US funds. With ongoing talks regarding this decision, the Fed's could start trimming its asset purchase, as early as, by the end of the year.

Creating a condition called "Quantitative Easing" to ensure that inflation does not fall below the target numbers. 

A general optimism prevails in the United States and Europe that the economies have finally turned the corner and growth are resuming. In the U.S., automobile sales are up, and the housing industry has improved, but many negatives show overall optimism is unwanted.

Understanding what; too "Look For," under an Investors Microscope!

September 17, 2013

Reviewing the activity and performance of gold, really hard to understand, who is right, or who is wrong? I know the most important factor, you can not reproduce gold. That's the main reason I like this asset, and why it will have the predictions, results of many of the best minds who, are experts in this field.

It's performing like a professional sports team, has a great and long winning streak, but just can not make it happen with the main obstacles; that have a personal effect on this asset. Yes, emotions, media, volume, and the demand will increase in the upcoming months. The main reason it is having a hard time is all the manipulations that are going on behind the scene.

Stocks, Commodities, Options, are all under the investors microscope, this creates windows of opportunities for us investors, who have a basic understanding of this formula. What they use to teach us in grade 9 economic's, when I went to school, never forgotten that lesson. Sorry; showing my age, my hair helps me in that department.

We as investors need security, for our financial future, who do we trust, when we are investing, scams are particular of most restaurants dinner, and lunch features of the day. Brokers get paid for pushing what the brokerage house has not sold; they need to sizzle that special like it's the bargain of the century.  It's called leftovers, just like the restaurants who offer their daily meals, who wants dead wood or eat lousy food.

Now that we understand the above reasons, why investing companies always have the pick of the century, that will produce a very handsome ROI. No different then when you sit down at a restaurant, first thing, they offer, is their daily specials. The both have one goal, to get rid of their specials and offers from the brokerage house. Why they have sales meetings. It's all pre-mediated!

Investing is always going to be a very complexed, complicated, as well as a gamble; with money you can afford to invest with, or perhaps your just taking a very highly uneducated risk with money that you can not afford, to gamble. Dumb, we always say that after we get shafted again, not very smart at all. It's called an emotional state of mind, just like buying a vehicle for all the wrong reason.

The information l am sharing is very logical, for many reasons; that make sense when you review this blog, l have provided you with many links, to educate your abilities, and desire, for success, without a gamble.

Now all you have to do is educate yourself, why hand over your hard earned money to a total stranger when he is sell your something you would encounter in the rain forest, called quicksand! No one needs this at our age. So bookmark this site, for information that you will find on this blog, which will enhance and improve and provide you with a brighter financial future.

OK at what cost, less than your spending right now. Your time also has a price; results are vital. So why do most mistake activities for results? Never could understand that concept, cause your lazy. Did l say that out loud?

Why most fail with their investments!

No, this blog will not provide you with all the answers, but if you're an investor, I learned something back when I was in grade 9, that works to this day. Not going to bore you with that illustration, not complicated either, but time-consuming for me to explain it to you. You will find all them answers somewhere on this blog.

What it will do; is make you a wiser investor, definitely much more educated with a financial plan that makes sense without all they calculated risks, we did our homework. Is what you will learn, from following this blog.

Investing is Dedication we all Need to Have to Become Successful

September 5, 2013

Well, summer is kind of over, but kids are back to school for some of us, not a bad thing at all until your encounter the school buses on your way to work. Hey, life is filled with obstacles how you control them is how they will work out. You need to plan everything you do, almost.

Investing is no different, is it; not really, we all calculate the odds and then more than likely thinking about pulling that trigger. Some of us that do it have gossiped among our peers, they are so lucky. We have all heard that a few times. Why is that? Think about it for a second or two!!

Financial planning works when you're dedicated to a plan; that provides you with your real "ROI," all we should worry about is what is our return on our investment. Mistakes can be avoided, with the correct knowledge and forecasts. Then it becomes a more calculated risk with odds that have an opportunity of providing you with the best possible ("ROI")...

I read and study this topic, each and every day, just part of the future financial planning with an asset, which will never be duplicated by Governments what so ever. For theses reason l have shared on my blog, it is the most financial, logical reasoning's that provides you with the above average results.

Hey if you do not understand what your return is? Then this is not for your abilities. Investing advises that can and more than likely provide you with quicksand, not a good walk is it? The advice in the financial world is like the daily special at your favorite restaurant.

They need to sell what they hold, at whatever cost. greed kicks in. Now, what? Your stuck and more than likely going to take many steps backward, and lose a lot of hard-earned retirement money. Not exactly what you had in mind, only had you done your homework, yep that simple.

You know l have felt every single pain l have described here, but it is not about me. Financial Freedom is the easiest thing to achieve, been doing it all my life since I had a paper route. Never, ever; relied on anyone except my abilities.

Dedication is the key to any one's success if you do not have this, you're just spinning your tail in what you're doing or trying to achieve. Mindset is vital, shared by many self-improvement programs and the pioneer of personal development is the man who started this trend. If you watch this presentation more than likely will solve all of your concerns in life, really will.

Speaking at a level that is meaningful, with an impact that can direct you to start reviewing your daily activities, on how you spend, what you make and how you're going to provide for each and every month. Life is spent in two different ways, most of us, dedicate more energy into why things will not work, instead of why they can operate. See what l mean? Just things that you will learn if you decide to dedicate yourself to a more meaningful and fruitful life without the stress.

This blog is filled with articles on this asset gold, interviews with many top experts in this field that provide sound advice on why investment can be very complicated and most never enjoy the actual (ROI) they should have benefited from their efforts.

I like writing because l believe in what l do is making people better, and providing information they already knew, l just provide a reminder for us all. Learning how to think on your own, research, dedicate your retirement with a direction.

You can lose just as much, "Being  Rich, as you can; Being Poor."  


       What a concept makes sense 
when you think about what l just shared with you.

Understanding the Impact of Financial Cyber War Damage on Our Retirement

August 28, 2013

Wow busy time of year, kids are getting ready to go back to school, vacations are coming to an end, but commodities are performing beyond belief, all due to with what is happening in the "Middle East." Why is that? Whenever a war starts, we as working stiffs get shafted, and many also get very rich.  

The greed factors are real, way out of control when you add, all that has happened, since the last bailouts of fortune 500 companies. Who had fixed assets; against their liabilities, also looked very promising, for their future, and direction of their stocks for shareholders.

If you recall a questioned asked by President Obama, during the hearings on why they should be compensated, for their mistakes? We all know the company and their reps who answer this question! The President, asked a simple question, how did you arrive here for these's meeting, did you drive, took a plane or a train?

The answer was no different, and then the CEO of a large bank, who decided to buy a luxury Condo in Miami, yes ocean front, which cost a slick $400k with his company’s bailout money.

The answer Obama got that afternoon was we took the "Co-Operate Jet." How much did that cost President Obama asked? Not really sure, our accountants take care of that information. You would have to address that question; to our accounting department.

So much propaganda being shared in the World Wide Web, who do you trust, which financial newsletter that provides accurate information. Even with all the most educated, and wisest financial reporting, you’re still going to make, an enormous mistake. Just an extraordinary, sad fact, we will all have to face one day.

Going to share some strong statements, that have been shared, and we all had to be warned, advised or just forgotten that issue, that perhaps presented itself with a window of opportunity for our benefit. Global investing is not for anyone, takes guts and luck. For one simple reason, that it can be devastating to our nation’s future success.

The media can control the ups and downs of how the stock markets globally will close out at the end of those business days. SEA has now created a new battlefield, called Cyber War, has the worse imaginable results to all of us, from a financial point of view. Numbers never lie.

The Cyber War is when the SEA breaks into a major financial newspaper and borrows their twitter account for a few minutes. "Then Proceed" to broadcasting premeditated fabricated tweets; to all their followers, and all who decide to re-tweet it, sending it out to more readers who may just do the same thing.

It almost happened, with two leading major players in the financial media world who have this type of control of their readers, followers and subscribers that create a viral message, by sharing with their followers and customers also. 

Here is an interesting article by Peter Schiff: "When People realize where all the Gold is Going there will be a Scramble to Buy it Back."

On July 18, 2013, an article posted by Tekoa Da Silva with Peter Schiff "I think the Dollar is Going to Collapse before markets do."

More Examples to be published and shared with our readers and subscribers, need you to understand the value of this crisis we are facing this video will provide you with this equation, not a pretty one at all. 

Us Debit $16 Trillion, a visual Perspective.   You will understand what this debt looks like with fiat currency. It's going to having an effective with our planning of retiring comfortably. Now What?

Gold has a factor that has to be reviewed, if this happens!

August 22, 2013

"My passion," for this asset is vital for much financial and logical reason’s, the “Fiat Currency” is really a lost and high-risk concern many of us should have.

I try and review as many articles on this topic that l can and provide information we all can benefit and even perhaps take advantage of, really nothing wrong with this concept at all. Would you not agree?

One of the alerts l got was an article that motivated me to share this priceless information on conditions that can make or break many (ROI’s.) This information l am going to share, is all confirmed by the World GoldCouncil (WGC.)

We have been debating who truly is the world leader in the consumption of gold. Is it China or is it India, what would happen if one stops buying gold? Could this have an effect on your savings for the retirement?

Reasons why China keeps a low profile on how much gold they own.

August 16, 2013

China is playing this game like Bobby Fisher played his greatest match with chess; low key and every move had a reason with results. Then ..... bang; checkmate!

China’s accumulation of gold is shrewdly hidden and only speculated on the actual amount they have bought. The only real resource of information is the ones that Hong Kong and Singapore provides us with. Even those stats could actually be very ambiguous.

Why would China play any other way? The greater the audience; the more competition, you're creating a center of attention. Exactly what they would like to avoid; staying under the radar gun.

China understands that gold currently is undervalued. This is an absolute fact for the reasons they are accumulating gold at a petrifying rate, with a low profile of attention. Buying gold at under $1,200 - $1,300 an ounce, will be a bargain years down the road.

Why China will surpass India as the world leader of Bullion Gold in the world. They have a scheme, system that is structured to guide and direct them with every move and purchase they accumulate each and every day of the year.

They have the power and capital to achieve this feast, indulge and like carbon monoxide, there are silent killers in this progress of accumulating mass fortunate’s of bullion gold. See China understands numbers, they are an international language.

Think of this example, if China decides to dump just only 10 percent of their U.S. Treasury Holdings which works out to approximately $100 billion worth in exchange for gold.  Let’s say gold for this example, is at $1,000 an ounce, which would work out to approximately 2,840 metric tons of gold. This means they would own more than 1/3 of the U.S. official gold holdings.

Now that is what l call power! China would be able to dictate  the value of gold, once they announce how much of the global asset gold they have possession of. Now that should actually make you think!

To illustrate another example that could happen, who really knows when, within 90, 120 days or even six months down the road? The authenticity is that this will materialize where we will see gold at perhaps or if not greater than $4,000 per ounce along with sides kicks oil at around $350 - $400, silver at $80 - $100 and all other assets such as copper, corn, wheat and everything else also on the rise.

Hyperinflation is already here as we have all witnessed, whenever we buy, purchase or invests on anything, all you need to do is compare that item to what it was worth a year ago.

Will China over take India as the world consumer of gold

August 13, 2013

China's activity with its consumption of gold in the first six months of this year increased and they should overtake India as world leaders in the use of gold, within a very short period.

They have consumed approximately 706 tons of gold in the first half of this year (2013) an increase of nearly 54 percent from a year ago.

If we review the consumption of gold for all of 2012, China will import approximately just over 832 tons for that whole year and just over 420 tons approximately at the same time last year, end of July 2012.

China took advantage of gold's biggest two-day fall in over 30 years when gold dropped under $1,200 in June. China purchased more gold than any other country and were consistent buyers.

China could actually consume more than 1,000 tons by year end and overtake India as the world leaders of consumption of gold, according to World Gold Council.

Some experts feel that China will eventually hit the 2,000 tons per year by the year 2016, which would work out to approximately 80% of the world global gold supply.

What effect would this have on the price of gold, too early to say but my dollar would be that gold currently is at a bargain rate for investors?

India has recently risen their import duty to 8 per cent from 6 per cent on June 5, along with central banks placing curbs on shipments on a consignment basis and limited shipments for local consumption against cash. This certainly has had an effect on their imports of gold from last year.

India is currently the largest and most important country in the world when it comes to gold. They are they largest holders of gold in the world, gold is estimated to make up approximately 7 percent of all Indians household savings, at the moment India is the largest consumer of gold in the world.

A tradition in India that has been around for hundreds of years, Indians have always relied on gold for savings, along with a payment from the bride's family to the groom's family upon marriage and it is traditionally made in gold.

India's love for gold is almost like a religion that goes back thousands of years, a tradition that is more than likely to never disappear from their culture.

Is China succeeding with their marketing gold plan

What can this company do for your financial future

July 31, 2013

Another month has passed by and this means the time that we will never get back. So how you use your time is vital when preparing and planning your future financial goals. Opportunities come and go without any warning.

How many opportunities have your joined since you started marketing on the Internet, and how many have you failed at? Not trying to be negative, just reminding you of your progress, some have done exceptionally well to a certain degree.

Dedication and a burning desire for success should be a daily affirmation that you need to develop and make it a regular habit. Success takes time and sometimes luck. Luck is defined this way if you were to take the first letter of the word "success" it would mean this Labour Under Correct Knowledge. How you become lucky in life.

So now your thinking of perhaps getting involved with the current magical dust formula that is the hottest company on the internet. The hype is high, and so are the rewards for only another $25.00 or whatever the cost is you will be making x amounts of dollars in minutes of signing up.

Ever read one of them sales pitches lately, if you did your not alone!

Hey, l am no different, l have joined countless and useless companies that promised the world and my life would never be the same. The only thing they got right was my life did change, lost more money again.

The first company I joined was Amy-way, made some money with them, but Amy-way showed me that big money can be made in MLM. You have the correct knowledge and dedication. I had enough cleaning products that would last me the rest of my life, so l left.

Went on to the next one, then another one and another one, until l said one-day l am done with MLM. Walked away from this type of business for several years. Then about three years ago, l got involved with another MLM company, but the only difference is l am still with this company, yes generating a residual income and growing.

The company is having worldwide growth and providing solutions to people's financial freedom by offering different types of investments long term, short term with an asset that can never be reproduced. Once you own it, it is yours until you decide to cash it in. Not like all the cleaning products l bought, there was no hope of me getting a return on them products.

If this story sounds like one that you have lived, not asking you to join anything but only take a look at what this company will do for you and your future financial obligations.

If you decide that you want to learn more about this opportunity, then just fill in the required information at the end of the presentation a short outline of what this company is all about and perhaps improve your situation!!

Could this be a new Up-trend Starting, as gold deliveries new gains.

July 23, 2013

Well, gold is currently riding a new wave with steady daily gains over the last 4 weeks. How long will this new inclination last and could it break the $1,400.00 per ounce, with this current streak of steady gains.

Back in April 2013, gold had a huge decline, corrected itself, and then started another larger decline until recently when it started to post daily gains.

What is driving the price of gold again, not really sure that there are many logical answers on why gold is behaving this way. Whenever markets perform, people are always looking for some logical reasons for why it is happening.

The economy has certainly played into why gold is rising, with the U.S government and its multi-trillion-dollar deficits and unfunded liabilities, will never recover without increase taxes and painful austerity measures.

Fear is always an obstacle that started with Iceland and Greece that became an economic burden that spread across the globe, like a fire out of control. With the winds of a possible war that continue to howl across the middle East, Asia, and other countries, that will have a huge cost for American blood and treasure.

With the lowest U.S. interest rates in history, is definitely a weakness for the U.S. dollar and the long-term inflationary pressures from the Federal Reserve dropping trillions of dollars into the economy making it a very favorable time to invest in gold and many other tangible assets.

As major central banks become buyers and not sellers in China, Russia and India there certainly will be a demand for gold once again. Keep in mind that Beijing has been stocking up on gold and divest itself from the paper currency and encouraging it's citizen to invest in gold.

Due to some of the above factors collectively know as financial repression - gold has emerged as one of the best options to store value and even generate returns on investments for emerging market consumers.

Demand from central banks and many developed countries might be very far from becoming totally saturated, which provides potential another leg up for gold investors to think about

Investments, Why Are They So Complicated, to Figure Out?

July 19, 2013

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

Every since we were kids, we learned something new each day and applied it to our daily life’s. Then we got wiser and stopped learning something new. Education is a lifetime sentence, either you adapt to changes or you do not.

Investing is so complicated for the following reason so much uncertainty in the global economy, which has had trends that were unpredictable for all the inside manipulation being a standard bandage instead of a permanent solution to world financial crises.  Used by the power of International Governments, in so many countries.

So who do you honestly trust for the formation and solutions of the present hyperinflation we are experiencing.  Hyperinflation can have, devastating financial results for all of us, without a large amount of warning.

Whether you’re investing in a new house, cottage, boat, vehicle or just a plain old investment! How can you honestly feel comfortable with all the trends that have power over the value of what you’re about to invest in.

Understanding the complexity involved with your evaluation on your investment, is a wise way of reviewing and understanding all of the predictable risks involved with this assessment.

The odds always look better on paper; why is that? What did we miss? Why did l do this? The voices play over and over in our inner mind.  We hear it and are immobilized, powerless and incapable of turning off the voices. Investing without a doubt will always be complicated, too much manipulation within the markets. That actual gearshift’s the up’s and downs of your (ROI).

Understanding and applying some of these concepts into your investing abilities will eliminate many heavy losses that none of us appreciate. You can be very rich and still losses more than you desired, works for the poor and the rich.

History has had its way with investing in any market, peaks and valleys have always been obstacles that we need to avoid or find. Peaks are good but valleys create fatalities for our retirement, we will all retire one day.

So what can we do, is really a fair question that we need to revise daily, with merit and reasoning. Think back to when you were a kid, you had no boundaries. What these statements mean, are the most important investment you will ever make to adjust your abilities.

Creating the most powerful mindset you can create is the step that will make you either successful or just another lost angel in life. Jim Morrison actually wrote those words, they make intellectual sense. We all have this ability, but why most of us fail, too simple.  

Take some time and review this blog, hey if you decide not to, that is OK, if you leave some feedback you created a back link. Whatever you decide! I got turned on to this type of investing from Nick Barisheff  CEO of President of Bullion Management Group Inc.

The rest is up to you! Investments, why are they so complicated, to figure out?

All the Best,

Have you ever wanted to give up marketing, on the internet?

July 16, 2013

We all have felt that way at one time or another, not an easy gig, is it? The fact it works for some and not so well for others  has a lot to do with these's issues, that can change your outlook on how you market from this day forward.

This is the only reason why we have this concern. Have you ever wanted to give up marketing, on the internet?

We all have an obligation to our daily lives, kids, financial obligation, stress from it all, not really a pleasant situation to have to deal with, day in and day out.

So the benefits that will change how you market on the internet will have to be monitored more closely, you need to understand your prospects.  What’s in it for me, in this case for them? Provide them with an imperative, fundamental solution to their needs.

You can read all the books, get all the training and one actual obsession will happen, you will give up and not read or implement what had to be done. You stopped reading and following the training.

I have been playing with marketing all my life since l was a kid. Working at Maple leaf Gardens, selling ice cream, peanuts, pop, and all the good stuff you enjoy at a game or event.

The dedication has always been part of the success aspect within my abilities. I provide a road map that makes logical sense that provides you with a carbon copy. The element we need as a foundation, takes an effort, with a price that is the hardest to achieve.

When you familiarize yourself and apply your abilities, the results will provide you with remuneration, compensation that is truly a sweet reimbursement on your investment.

Looking for someone who has this ability to implement immediately and start generating an (ROI) return on your investment, in this case, your abilities.

See, l build leaders to do what has to be done.  My leaders do the same thing that works and understanding the most successful phrase you will learn on building your team.

If you’re going to invest in the most award-winning perception that has this attitude; to provide you with an over and above “lead” that you have just captured. Now, what?

Think this way, you’re on a Lake Fishing, you thought you had a snag with your line, but guess what you have a bite on your line. Now, what?

Reel him in slowly, provide him or her with sound advice, listen and just think when they answer your question. God give us to ears and one mouth. Which one should you use the most?

If you really have what l am looking for, then take the time to invest in your financial future by watching this management of life changing opportunities. How could this possibly happen?

So how many times did you want to give up marketing on the internet and many other uncertainties, suspicions that created doubts? The key element your staying here and being acquainted with this opportunity that can actually finally provide you with proceeds. 

This is my "Passion with my Patience," l enjoy doing this, simple, rewarding "YOU" with a lucrative as an incentive, life is actually good .. at the moment l have to also work on that, but that is my point!

Become focused as your journey takes place with your adventure, after all, you created it, no one else did. Hard to argue with that. As you follow these vital steps success will become achievable.

You're going to enjoy this, for this real special reason...

Learning this concept will have rewards and benefits.

June 28, 2013

Marketing just isn't forever one, is it? We all need to understand a direction that needs to be taken in order for self-growth that provides us with a direction towards success.

The useless opportunities that are there, are endless with more than likely zero results on the presentation that had all the hype. Why even talk about it, happens every second on the world wide web.

So ask yourself this question are you a hopper? What is a Hopper? A hopper has no confidence in their abilities, looking for some magical dust that will solve all their financial problems as a start.

If l have your attention, l need you to do this........turn off all the other sites you're on... including mobile phone.. See if you do this, one thing will occur; benefits have a price. The hardest price to pay is dedication, we all have plastic, correct and some cards are not in good financial shape.

If you dedicate and applied these's two powerful words that will provide you with your "why's' of accomplishing additional or first-time success in your life. The words you will learn will determine your focus, desire and why you're doing this.

Why kid yourself, that is just wasted time and human energy. So let's watch this presentation and learn what them two words are. Yes, l could have typed them, but that is not you being dedicated to your personal success. Review this, over and over, l do it daily... l listen to him... why he made me motivated.

If you need to get motivated then watch this.... step one.

Made you really think, if you watched it and understood why only one percent actually make it in this field, odds are really not that good. But it achieves able when you apply them two words and you look in the mirror and say.... the magical word............ only works for a very few...

Save yourself some time.......... if you can not get pass step one.......... why are you reading this, but, on the other hand, your either fishing or your dedicated...........Only you will know based on your results.

Now this a forum, with feedback and comments that may have the solutions you learned from them two words...  Now the results can be and will be simple or complicated............

Learn what Your Personal Brand is, we only play this game once!!!

We all have the same desires, goals and want some sort of success that provides us with a comfort zone, success has a different meaning to all of us. This is when you apply what you have learned from this article and if it had benefits, share this article with your network.

Marketing with a direction, gets attention and results?

June 19, 2013

If you have not understood the title then you should read more, marketing with a direction will always get you attention and a large audience, for many reasons. The reason l have researched this topic, is there are more people who have a hard time generating an income on the internet. We all have ego's, pride and strong why's on why we have dedicated time to this project.

If this is you in some sort of form or thinking, then you are very frustrated, you have followed all the steps, did it all accordingly to the specs, you were asked to execute. Same results, waste of time, money and really a downer and a loss of self-esteem.

What investing is all about, you just never know what could happen if you start to doubt your abilities and it is never your fault, you repeat to yourself.  Honestly kicks in, for a very short period and you play your mind once again. But numbers never lie, liabilities outperform asset's.

Credit card, the line of credit and all your other asset have been donating without any return on your investment. This not providing any results that you have counted on...Investing is always a gamble.

Going showcase you a solution, not going to tell you how it all works, until you ask me and then start understanding why you getting all these's benefits and results... hate the word "Free'...... no such thing...... just need your dedication........... that's fair.

Here is how it all works, not an easy formula why very few ever earn a dime on here..so there really is no competition if you see my point.   Do You?

Who do you trust, when your investing with your retirement?

The reason l use the words l choose as my title! Who do you trust, when you're investing in your retirement for a rather complicated reason. We all have felt and tasted what it is to be lied too, the only pain l ever suffered from that statement is when it a effects my wallet.

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 sell the sizzle, without the most important factor your (ROI) return on investment, your efforts is not always monetary.

What truly qualifies as a safe investment? Anything to do with a fiat currency will have a future disadvantage on your return. We all have read and followed many frightening global financial crises develop and are not going away very affordable.

Who is the blame for all of this, we can point many figures in a simple and more then likely very accurate way of why we are in this global financial crises, Global Governments creating outrages debt that is being added to already a UN-payable debt in our lifetime for us who are over 50. Governments solution was print more money, creating a fiat currency, that is losing value at an alarming rate.

Then you had all the bailouts that the Governments had to do to keep the economy going, from automotive to financial corporation that where thriving not so long ago and now need Government assistance. The sad part of it all the big name CEO got their bonuses when these companies could not meet their daily obligations without Government assistance.

All you need to do is watch CNBC American Greed   and understand all the scams that happen daily with new ones being tested for the next big scam. How it has been working lately, many investors get played by them right words that were magical when you first heard them. We all have heard it, if it sounds too good, then there is something wrong with it.

I got the passion for gold from Nick Barisheff, President, and CEO of "Bullion Management Group" located in Toronto Canada with Asset Holdings of Over $650 million and author of Why Gold by 2017 will be worth $10,000.00 an ounce. l decided l would learn as much as l could daily of what was happening within this industry.

Did as much research on this topic from all the articles that interested me such as the books "The Case for Gold" by Ron Paul and Addison Wiggins "The Little Book of the Shrinking Dollar" and, of course, Nick Barisheff book. Just needed to understand the history of this asset that started to make more sense, for a real simple reason. Governments had no ability to print this asset as they have with the fiat currency paper money.

Review all the Google alerts on gold investing, reading each article just keeping on top of why it moves up or it moves down. Along with the smartest updates one can ever buy, Agora Financial.... the 5-minute forecast that reviews in short form, all the latest business trends that are occurring globally. If your not taking advantage of this, you should be, its fast and accurate.

So who do you trust when it comes to investing for your retirement? I decided to invest in this company for all the right reasons it is a member of the LBMA and currently has the capacity to deliver a volume of 1 million grams a week through its new contract with "Nadir Metal Refinery" in Istanbul, which is of course listed under the LBMA "Good Delivery Refinery."

I watched this presentation and it made sense to me, each card has the following features that provide confidence for any investor who invests in this asset you're provided with 6 main reasons that make logical financial sense.

1) The serial number on each card, that you invested in.

2) Along with a serial number on the gold bar.

3) Nadir Gold Refinery Certificate.

4) Nadir Gold Refinery LBMA

5) Hologram on the physical Nadir gold bar.

6) Gold Bullion verification code.

Why are we getting this type of attention?

May 28, 2013

Why are we getting this type of attention? When was the last time you read an article on your multi-level marketing company that had rewards of this kind, as a leader in "the industry." For such a young, but an aggressive company within the industry.

Multi-Level Marketing is a product that promotes success at an alarming rate. If you have a demand for others to promote it, believe in it and most important have a desire to make it work. I had only one reason for picking this company as a winner, based on my research, reviews and why l would want to invest my time in this asset. Had to become an asset, or why would l do it?

See we all have our reviews and 2 cents of information that at times actually make sense. Investing is always going to have a risk factor, anyone says otherwise is lying to you. Learn and understand this!

The most often asked question in multi-level marketing is how do l get paid? Would you agree this is an honest question asked over and over? Exactly!!!

This article that l came across today l found it on one the Financial Reports. I did not write this, but l am sure glad he wrote it.

You can lead a horse's to water but you may never be able to make that horse drink it..... this is why we are getting this attention.

Is the Value of Gold still high, dispute the recent down slide?

May 23, 2013

So many different views on whether gold is currently still over priced from around the global economy from some of the top experts in this field. China has not slowed down on acquiring as much gold as it can get it's hands on. 

Singapore government investment chief Lim Chow Kiat says it is difficult to justify the current value of the metal given its limited practical usage.

Some interesting trends by Billionaire George Soros and Louis Bacon have drastically cut some of their stakes in exchange-traded products backed by gold earlier this year. But John Paulson who made billions of dollars betting against subprime mortgages before the housing collapse has held his holds and it is believed he has lost close to 47 percent this year alone. 

Some interesting facts on the performance of gold since peaking in the early 80's and then over the next 20 years had lost approximately 60% of its value. When you take inflation into effect a more accurate loss would be around the 80% for that period. 

Back in April 2013, gold took its biggest one-day loss since the early 80's of 9% of a value of $1,535 to $1,395 per ounce. Some investors were indicating a potential market decline well others were saying it was a signal of coming economic boom. So is it safe to save that the value of gold is still high dispute the recent slide down, or is it undervalued. 

This could be an interesting bet, for all the right reason on why gold still could be the wise's investment for future retirement. It is bulletproof in the sense, that our Governments can not print more of it. Is this not how would get into a financial global mess. Learn more about Nick Barisheff's view on why gold is a safe long term investment. 

Why investing will always be a gamble, media can control it, and so many other 
financial factors will determine the final (ROI) on your decision. 

From early 2001 to the late summer of 2011 gold had its best run, from just under $300 an ounce to almost $1,900 an ounce indicating that it was a very wise investment for investors. Gold has always had peaks and valleys, started the year off (2013) with a value of approximately $1,657 to its current value today of just under $1,360 mark compared to the Standard  500 Index which has had an approximate gain of around 18%.

What causes gold to fluctuate in this manner is a great debate for investors with many options as reasons and trends for gold to perform so unpredictable. Much of the gold becomes jewelry and India has been a leader in this field but as of lately India has not been doing as well as in the pass. This could also drive the price of gold down since a lack of demand. Perhaps some of the central banks and many hedge funds are cutting back on their shares of gold that we are not aware of.

But many of these factors have not scared China from importing more gold. The review the full story on how much gold they have imported in the last 24 months. Here is an interesting article, providing all the stats you will need to understand how aggressive China has been.
