Gold is a question of faith

All said and done, investing in gold is a question of faith. You either have it or you dont have it.

Investing in gold is believing that there is a perfect value system, a system that is above all kings, knights or barons. A system of justice, where no body will be able to con or short-change anybody at the paying to their due credit.

Investing in gold is, believing in the circle of life. The fact that day turn into night, and night turns into day. The happiness is followed by sorrows and sorrows by happiness.

Investing in gold is believing in the honest efforts of innumerable population will not be conned for few pieces of paper, that looses or gains its value on the whims and fancies of few people. Investing in gold believes that life is fair. That every effort that has been put in will be rewarded equally and in equal measure.

Investing in gold is believing in "what you sow is what you reap". You can’t reap luxuries of lifetime by doing nothing, while someone toils hard for few bits of luxuries, that he is soon deprived of.

You will not be a gold bug unless you believe. You wont be one, unless you are paranoid of the system which can take down happiness of you and your loved ones and cause them immense harm. As all beliefs, it is 'God' for some and 'pagan' for some. And just like religious beliefs it is a worthy safety net, for all.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle.

For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
