Paper, Rock, Silver
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jeffrey_Lewis]Jeffrey Lewis

The silver market has taken a nose dive in recent trading sessions, leaving many of those positioned on the long side underwater.

Taking a deep breath, it may be time to acknowledge the difference between physical and paper

The Problems With Paper

Put simply, paper derivatives do not price in fundamentals. Nevertheless, price movements in paper products are shaping sentiment, and are moving the precious metals far off the radar screen as an attractive investment – except perhaps for the very few that see their intrinsic value.

All paper derivatives markets have ballooned so far from reality, that along with the rapidly expanding money supply, they seem to be gigantic bubbles in and among themselves.

Furthermore, the latest silver market rout indirectly serves to support the metal’s price in the long term by forcing numerous suppliers out of the market, as their production becomes increasingly uneconomic.

Given Falling Silver Prices – Consider the Alternatives

Those considering moving their investment funds out of the paper silver market into other assets, are probably now looking at the available alternatives. Here is a quick overview:

� Bonds – Most individuals will not be able to leverage enough to short bonds.
� Equities – The recent stock market rally from its 2009 lows could disappear swiftly, and in the end, you will be left holding a paper certificate tied to management that is both dependent on and held inside a troubled financial system.
� Housing – The much touted non-recovery is finally manifesting itself via rising mortgage rates. The sad truth regarding pent up foreclosure-based shadow inventory will reveal itself soon.
� Farmland – Even farmland has been over bid and is expensive historically speaking.
� Forex – Getting involved in trading currency markets means ultimately chasing one piece of paper versus another, as all fiat currencies have become.
� Holding Physical – The irony of physical demand for precious metals is that despite the recent decline in price, a surge in physical demand is occurring.

The Ultimate Confiscation

In many ways, paper metal derivatives represent a type of front line, underhanded confiscation since people are duped into holding them instead of the actual metals that their prices are supposedly based on.

After this, the sequence of a more overt confiscation policy looks like it will go after:

� Derivatives
� Paper metal certificates
� Electronic metal balances

Furthermore, the Cyprus bail-in banking debacle looks like the template for future deposit confiscations.

With respect to pensions and 401k plans, the coming market volatility will probably ‘convince’ the masses that the government knows better. Sadly, the ‘government guarantee’ seems to be the sacred cow that will be sacrificed to bring about the great “financialization” of everything.

Making paper currency legal tender was the first step in this process, and the ensuing propaganda campaign has effectively steered a generation away from sound money principles. Only by seeking real value can investors see the benefits in continuing to hold silver.

Must Read-The Importance of Physical Fitness
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Ma._Consuelo_Flores]Ma. Consuelo Flores

A physically fit person is happier than that of an unhealthy person. It is really true because when you are healthy you have are less likely to contract any form of diseases but if you are an unhealthy person you are prone to being sick.

But being healthy does not only pertain to physical state. It also means having a balanced lifestyle for one’ spiritual health, mental and emotional health.

A person who is spiritually healthy God at the center of his life, he also has good values and is willing to exercise his rights as well as practice the values that he believes in. A person’s religious faith also contributes to his/her health and well- being. When we say socially healthy it is when we have the ability to perform our responsibilities and to have good relationship with others. It also refers to the effective way the person performs to his role in life. However, this article will focus more on physical health.

Staying healthy could be achieved through exercising and doing physical activities provided that you know the limitations of your body so that you will not get hurt. If you’re one of the few people who enjoy doing contact sports like butt lifter workout, wrestling or boxing, it is only proper to have a regular check up with your doctor to avoid inflicting severe injuries.

Giving your body a timeout to rest is also part of taking care of it. This is especially true to those who are working round the clock. After a stressful day at the office or at home, you should allocate at least 5 – 8 hours sleeping time to rejuvenate your mind and body.

Each of us has certain ways in exercising in order to achieve a physically fit body but when choosing one always keep in mind to do the activity that you enjoy the most i.e. butt lifter workout, yoga or perhaps biking. There are many benefits that you can get by doing exercise. One of them is that if you are consistent in exercising your health will improve. Most people who regularly hit the gym attest that exercising help them feel better and look younger.

In this fast-paced generation, health should be the number one priority in order to enjoy life. Having good health is important to be able to face every problem and trial that comes along the way. Health is important and we should do our best for us to be healthy.

Fishing Lures: Avoid Mistakes When Choosing Lures To Buy Or Use

Posted on July 3, 2013 by savi0043

So many decisions about what lures you need in your fishing box and which ones to tie onto the end of your line are based on bad information! One of the reasons that a handful of fishermen are exceptionally talented at catching fish on lures is that they take the time to actually think about lure selection, rather than just tie on the first lure that comes to hand. Do these guys take advice from fishing columns in the local paper? No! They think for themselves, identify a lure that will work and make an intelligent choice.

Fishing Lures: Avoid Mistakes When Choosing Lures To Buy Or Use
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Greg_Vinall]Greg Vinall

It is obvious to anyone who has done any amount of lure fishing you’re never going to be incredibly successful if you are not able to choose the right lure for the right occasion. What is much less obvious is how to go about choosing just one lure to tie on your line from the millions of colors, shapes, sizes and models of lures that will be put before you in the tackle store. For the lure maker, this can be even more of a challenge, since your choice are limited only by your imagination, although it does mean that you can make a lure that is custom designed for your specific needs.

The decision-making doesn’t stop once you’ve made your purchase, either! When you finally get out on the water with a boxful of beautiful wooden lures, how do you decide which one to tie on first? The thing that I find really interesting is that the vast majority of lure fishing enthusiasts seem to forget the key considerations when it comes to lure choice. Instead, they concentrate on much less important factors that they believe to be the difference between a fishless day and one to remember. The decision about what lure to choose seems to be based on:

* What the salesman who will profit from their purchase is telling them

* What some stranger on the fishing channel or writer for a fishing magazine says is the hottest lure at the time (one manufactured by his sponsor, for instance?)

* What lure he caught fish on last week. Or last month. Or maybe even last season (in a lake on the other side of the country)

* And lastly, a greatly over exaggerated idea of how important lure color is to fish. Generally this idea is also fed by fishing buddies, salesmen and fishing personalities.

A few other factors get weighed into the decision making process, such as cost (especially if there is the possibility of losing a few lures), casting ability, size of fish etc

My point is that just following the crowds is a lazy approach to selecting lures, and like anything that’s lazy it will be reflected in the number and quality of fish you catch. Great lure fishermen tend to put all the hype aside and analyse what is happening in the fishes domain. What baitfish are the fish hunting, and for what reason? What lure looks most similar to the bait that they may be eating right now? In my view, the absolute first point that you ought to consider when choosing a wooden lure for a specific use is the size and shape of the lure body.

Why are lure body size and shape so important?

When you think about it, it’s obvious! Fish frequently become obsessed with a certain food item, especially when that item is available in large quantities. At those times they often gorge themselves on one food item to the exclusion of everything else that swims past. When they are hitting tightly packed bait balls, they often become very selective and only eat baitfish of a particular size or shape.

Examples of this are the sharks that you often see feeding on tiny baitfish, even though there are bigger fish around (also feeding on the baitfish) that would be easier to catch and more filling. Or trout that are feeding on mayflies and reject any beetle, damsel fly or earthworm that comes within range in favour of mayflies.

Are you hearing me say that lure size and shape are of greater importance when you are selecting a lure than color? I’ll say it again! In my experience, the size and shape of a lure plays a far bigger role in determining how many fish you will catch than the color. For starters, we all know that almost all fish tend to hit a lure from beneath. But from that angle it is almost impossible to make out color. If your lure has a similar silhouette to the bait it has a far greater probability of being taken, irrespective of color. That doesn’t mean that color isn’t important – it’s just not as important as most lure enthusiasts like to believe.

Now, what about those days when the bait aren’t balled up and the fish aren’t feeding so aggressively? There is no easy solution for those days. You need a little local knowledge about the bait species likely to be present, then all you can do is keep changing lures until you find one that works on the day.

Career Success – 9 Feng Shui Office Secrets That Lead To Ultimate Productivity

Posted on June 30, 2013 by savi0043

Work environments focus on one reality to get the work accomplished. But what is essential to maintaining healthy productivity is balance: logic to feeling, physical space to mental space, organization to cohesiveness. It starts with the seat of your power – your desk.

Career Success – 9 Feng Shui Office Secrets That Lead To Ultimate Productivity

The Tao of productivity.
Work environments focus on one reality to get the work accomplished. But what is essential to maintaining healthy productivity is balance: logic to feeling, physical space to mental space, Yang to Yin. Yang is physical space, systems, logic, deadlines and tangible results. Yin is feelings, intention, mental space, imagination and the intangible. When expectations are founded on a manifesto of deadlines, unhappiness and dissatisfaction predominate; productivity goes down. Balance the Yang to Yin, logic to feeling and you’ll dissolve busyness, filler steps and distractions. What will emerge is a natural system of productivity and efficiency.

9 Secrets for greater productivity.

1) Yang: position. Your desk is the seat of your power. Don’t diminish your concentration with interruptions. Turn your desk so you can see who is coming into your office. Or place a mirror opposite where you sit at the desk. Form a habit of smiling into the mirror. Ultimately it will increase your happiness quotient. Yin: perspective. Create a daily mantra that reminds you of your life purpose. Say it nine times before arriving at the office, express it with gratitude. It adds energy to your energy.

2) Yang: commanding view! Your office door is an important entry. The best position for your office desk is in the furthest opposite corner or wall from the door. You are perceived as having more authority. Yin: this placement builds confidence and self control. It favors a relax approach and open minded communication among your co-workers and with your boss.

3) Yang: change a mediocre workspace into a dynamic energizing room with quality lighting. It activates your endorphins and bolsters your mood. Add a LED lamp next to you. The spotlight creates attention getting results. Yin: the warmth of the sun is a life giving presence. Mirror its generosity, perform a kind deed. Kindness generates the same feeling as abundance.

4) Yang: invite Nature’s vitality in. A plant’s life force increases your brain power to help you maintain power to complete your tasks. Place a lush green plant with rounded leaves on the desk if it’s close to the door or in line of the door. It creates a friendly boundary. Yin: make time after work for a Forest Bath, Shinrin-yoku. Its a short, leisure walk through the woods for relaxation and breathing in phytoncides (wood essential oils). The Japanese regard this as natural aromatherapy and promotes a healthy lifestyle.

5) Yang: six inch solution: if you bang your chair against the wall when you back up from your desk you are creating the scenario “there is no way to turn a situation around.” Your mind goes directly to feeling “blocked in”. Move your desk away from the wall at least six inches. Your focus smooths out and problem solving becomes easier. Yin: unblock your thoughts with meditation and function at your highest operating state. It produces calm and you may avoid amygdala (the part of the brain that controls response and empathy) hijacking.

6) Yang: a difficult economy produces daily anxiety. Red has a stabilizing effect on the eyes which are connected to your heart. Place a red object in the area directly across from the entrance to your office. A side note: red, symbolic of happiness, is a colorful antidote to anxiety. Yin: get away from the computer every few hours. Consciously breathe: inhale-one, two, three, four; exhale-one, two, three, four. Might seem counter intuitive but actually this creates deep calm which awakens your brain. Feel recharged and ready to get back to work.

7) Yang: periodically evaluate the items on your desk: What is unusable let go. This following detail may seem small but is seminal to your creativity. Make a space on your desk so your eyes can come to rest in that spot while you work. The spaciousness it creates can foster an innovative idea. Yin: clutter is connected to your emotions. If find you are emotional at work, first harmonize your space. This creates balance in your mind. Its much easier to sort through your files with a clear head.

8) Yang: getting answers to your questions and the right help is an opportunity for wasting time and feeling overwhelmed by frustration. The most effective solution I have seen is transcendental. Yin: stand facing your office or cubicle. The far right front corner is the Helpful People area. Place with intention a poster of a beautiful place, a mentor or a world figure that you admire. Visualize Helpful People show up with frequency when you have a problem. And find opportunities to be a helpful person yourself.

9) Yang: if you like working from the coffee shop make sure you check in at your office chair and desk periodically. Maybe Chinese superstition but don’t wait for the shoe to drop and all areas of your life spin out of control. Yin: visualize. Your imagination is stronger than your thoughts. See in your mind the steps and the end result of your project. Outside events will conspire to make your work flow more easily.

Setting up your work space is the forward step in creating the Tao of productivity.

One thing I have discovered about the relationship we have to our homes is we need a heart healthy space to find peace and contentment. The bedroom is where it begins.

A Few MLM Success Tips – Pay Attention So You Do Not Make These Mistakes

Posted on June 29, 2013 by savi0043

The MLM world is not easy – it’s even worse when you don’t pay attention to the tips others give you to try to help. Seriously, pay attention to this list of MLM success tips while you still have time.

A Few MLM Success Tips – Pay Attention So You Do Not Make These Mistakes
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gail_L_Ramberg]Gail L Ramberg

If you have been in the network marketing industry for very long you actually know there are plenty of things you can mess up. Hopefully this discussion will help you avoid several of the mistakes that many network marketers make.

MLM Success Tips – Tip 1 – Quit Wasting Time And Get Started Now

In order to achieve success, you need to generate traffic. You have to generate a great deal of traffic. If you don’t do this, the undeniable fact that your internet site is perfect just isn’t important. You could have a soundly produced capture page, an electrifying looking blog and lovely content, but if nobody sees it it just will not matter.

The first of our MLM success tips is to not wait until it’s perfect. Get anything on the web so that you can start generating traffic to it. Getting traffic won’t occur overnight. There’s also customarily a learning curve to it. Get the process started immediately so that you can begin learning. Decide what kind of selling you are going to do and begin to get it done. You can update your blog, squeeze page, etc as you go along, but as I mentioned if you do not generate a massive quantity of traffic, it just won’t matter.

Too much setting up to make it really, really good and not enough action will result in a great business plan and internet site but absolutely no traffic or leads.

MLM Success Tips – Tip 2 – Don’t Get Too Targeted On Affiliate Products

The second item on our list of MLM success tips is to not go silly when you find out about affiliate products. It is true, affiliates are a crucial part of your business. In many cases, the earnings generated from these products can basically fund your promoting expenses. However, it’s not difficult to get too excited and lose focus. Don’t spend too much time looking at affiliate stats or finding methods to promote them at the beginning of your business. Yes, they do need to be included in your promoting funnel. But it is important to remember that your one goal is to build traffic. If you get enough traffic, the affiliate revenue will come with it.

MLM Success Tips – Tip 3 – Pay Attention To Your Web Site Domain Name

The next item from our list of MLM success tips is to pay attention to your domain name. Don’t just pick the 1st one you can think of. Folks do not join MLM businesses. They join front runners in network marketing businesses who can help them get what they want. Your site name starts the process of convincing them that you are worth joining.

Determine “who you are” and what approach you will be taking in attempting to telling leads that you’re worth joining. Your domain name needs to reflect that approach. Naturally you want to balance that with finding a site name that is easy for people to remember. If it can include a few keywords, all of the better.

MLM Success Tips – Tip 4 – Don’t Reinvent the Wheel

The subsequent item in our list of MLM success tips is to learn from people who have made the big mistakes already. There are a great many people and websites you can use for quality information on the way to expand an MLM business. Sign up for a few lists. Bookmark some websites to visit continually. Better Networker (betternetworker.com) is a really good all-in-one source.

Find some individuals who look like they know what they’re doing and track them for some time. Learn what they are doing and use it on your own business.

However, that sends us into the final of our MLM success tips.

MLM Success Tips – Tip 5 – Avoid Info Overload

The closing of our MLM success tips is to restrict the inrush of information. I know we talked in tip 4 about using other resources, but once you get a touch more experienced it is vital that you limit the number of individuals you’re watching. You need to concentrate on a lot of folks/sites as you start, but then you want to find the few leaders who match your approach and resonate with you and focus on that.

If you follow these MLM success tips it will help you stay concentrated on what’s significant. Start marketing, concentrate on your business, choose a great website name, find mentors and avoid information overload.

Gail Ramberg has spent the last several years being really frustrated by the volume of really bad information on the web. She is fixing that for others with TheNetworkMarketingBlog.
