Gold is Going Strong

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Gold always has a bull market.And it has broken the $1,000 ounce level now.The demand of gold is increasing since September.Jewelry occupied about 70% consumption of gold each year.According to reports,about half of the Jewelry purchases are tied to Christmas holidays.Jewelry manufacturer always begin to buy gold bullion in August or September.

Even the gold price reaches a new level,this is not going to changed for inflation.If you talk the inflation into the consideration, you will find that the gold price should be over $2,000 per ounce.That will be a new record.Personally,I believe the gold price will hit $2,000 or even more in the following years and here is my personal ideas.

No.1,Gold is a commodity,and for all the commodity,the secular bull market can last up to 5 years.So there is still a long period for strong gold.The biggest price will be available in the latter stages of the bull market.

No.2,Gold always a safe-haven for investment.The value can be maintained or even increased throughout the ages.Since the world is still under recession,gold is still a good we should hold,it is definitely a good bodes for the price of gold.

No.3,The U.S. Dollar is still weak,and we do not now when the dollar will be strong again.For some fundamentally and technically reasons,it will not recover back soon.

No.4,The economy is still under recession and the US government is printing money.That makes the inflation even worse.People need a save investment before the major inflation comes to us.

No.5,The supply of gold is slowing down.Global central banks supply the majority of gold to the worldwide gold market.However,the supply has been slowed down recently.

No.6,the demand of gold is increasing sharply.especially in those developing market such as China,India.People in these countries are becoming rich and they need a safe to store their money,especially under the current economy climate.StreetTracks Gold Trust,is the largest gold exchange traded fund in the States is only four years old.

No.7,Many countries want to make their currency the world currency.Since the dollar is going down,many countries are thinking to switch their currency to world currency.In another words,U.S. treasuries might be depreciated any time.Therefore,if countries like Japan,China as well as other countries switch U.S. treasuries to Gold,the gold price will rocket into the sky.Besides,if those countries want to make their currency to world currency,they need enough gold to support their currency.

People can not tell how much the gold price will be,but it will be increased.There are many factors to make the gold price move to high point.

Top five money mistakes you should avoid

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Normally,we just think about making money,and ignore keeping it.Everyday when we deal with money,we always made a lots of mistakes.Small mistakes turn into daily habits,and bad habits lead to a disaster.In order to make yourself back to the right track,you should know your mistakes and learn ways to overcome it.Here is the five top money mistakes you should avoid.

The emotional spending

Human being are weak animals, we may happy and unhappy from time to time.however,we may just spend money when we happy or unhappy.This is called emotional spending,well,emotional spending is bad thing,in another words,emotional spending is buying without a plan.It can make you feel just a bit better after spending,but after that temporary happy the real problem which causes your unhappy is still in your heart.However,the money you spend can not back.After that,what you need to face is the bad financial shape.So you should avoid emotional spending.

No Budget plan

A budget is a good thing to your finance management.living without a budget is voyaging without a guide.You will get lost.Without a budget,you can not notice where you money is leaking.A long term life without a budget can get you completely wrong in your finance.So,you need a budget,and what is not any difficult thing,you can plan a budget for your life.Since you have an idea to spend money in the right way,the next thing you should do is write down when and where you money should be spent.

Being Too Much Debt

If you are fighting hard with your credit cards debts,you will not get any savings.If you can not clear off your credit cards debts at the end of the month,you need to pay more for your purchases.For example,if you buy a smartphone at US$300,but you can not pay off the credit card debt,you may need to pay for US$600 for your phone,the additional interest rates as well as other fees may cost you much more.So,my suggestion is away from your credit card.A life with debt also makes you live much harder.If you meet some emergencies, and you need some money,the loan will check your record and just find you still in debt,then no one would like to lend you money.So,if you still in debt,you’d better eliminate it as soon as possible.

Being out control of your finance

No matter how you trust your partner,you should make sure that your finances are under your control.If you have no idea on how to pay bills of taxes,how much your company has,you may get a big trouble.Spending some time on studying your finances and how to manage bills will not lose your face.Always keep in mind that where is your money heading,how much you earn and what is your goal is very important.Losing control of your finances is very risky.

Lack of financial Goals

Goals are not about you earn as much as possible,Goals are for savings.No matter how much you are making now,if you do not save,you may have nothing left at the end of a year.When we talk about finance,we always suggest our readers to spend less what they earn.Just set yourself finance goals,no matter how much that goal is.when you taking baby steps you are already on the way towards to successful.

Apart from the local newspaper, you need to try other ways. You can buy some ads on the internet. If you search the internet, you can find tons of house selling websites. Some of those sites are famous and always visited by potential buyers. For example, you can sell ads to websites like postlets, craiglist etc. You can have a nice headline for your ads, something like “the best house in XXX area Is now available”.

Create your own personal contact. After ads, you just have your message spread, and then people are going to know that you will sell a house. If you need more ads, you can even start post within your facebook account. And then you can wait for the responses from your relations.

Find backups from your local realtor. Almost in every fileds there are some professionals.

Just give your house a price which you really want to sell. If you do not know how to set the price for your house, just look at those similar houses in your area.

Last, have a nice outlook for your house. When placing ads. You need to think about what to do when your customer visit and check your house. So it is your job to make your house looks much inviting and fresh. The first impression is quite important. Personally, I’d think that you need to paint doors and get things clean as possible as you could. You can set some flower baskets, flowerpots to add a welcoming touch. Check your house carefully and repair all the problems, such like broken sash cords and cracked windows. If you prepare your house properly, your buyers will have a good impression.
