Review: U.S. Money Reserve Website and Why Gold is Still Important

Posted by

Recent news from Greece is bad, but the price of gold has come of recent highs of $1900 per troy ounce. This perspective from Mike Marlow offers some thoughts on this issue.

In reviewing the website U.S. Money Reserve it is interesting to note that there has probably never been a more opportune time to invest in and purchase gold. It is not even an issue of if one should invest in gold anymore, but rather an issue of how much to invest and how quickly to invest in this very important storage of value medium. The ability to store and preserve wealth is indeed one of the most critical elements of gold and precious metal investing.

Federal Reserve: Hardly Reserved

In a world where the Federal Reserve has gone literally haywire, by the unconstrained printing of money with the net effect being unfettered runaway inflation. This has a direct and measurable effect on the value of money. The more the Federal Reserve prints money the less that your money is worth, it is really that simple.

In responding appropriately any investor must find protective measures to insulate their wealth from this reckless kind of policy. U.S. Money Reserve is nicely organized and is easy to navigate when buying precious metals online. The real time ticker at the top of the page offers up to the minute gold and silver prices, this is convenient with all the recent fluctuations in gold and silver prices.

Buy the Dips: Value Investing

While these fluctuations may be a little unsettling, In truth, one would be well advised to just continue to buy on the dips in price. The reason for this is basic and simple. It is understood knowledge that the price of both gold and silver has be artificially and intentionally manipulated and held at a far lower price than normal market conditions would support. This is being done in large part to mask the fact that the US dollar is rapidly decreasing in value.

In other words, if gold were allowed to rise to its true market value it would in effect reveal the true worth of the dollar. This is being prevented from happening because it would then threaten the status of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. This is relevant to the precious metal investor because having this knowledge and understanding it makes the decision to regularly invest in gold and silver a rather easy one.

True Market Value

Once the artificial manipulation of precious metals ends, and it will as a law of economics, then the true market value of gold and silver will be reveled. This value will likely be many multiples of the current market value of precious metals. Further analysis of this issue shows that to an even greater degree, silver is more rare and valuable than gold.

All that Glistens: Silver

The historic gold/silver ratio shows that silver is perhaps one of the best investments one can possibly make today. Silver is unique in that it has real and tangible industrial uses. U.S. Money Reserve is a perfect site to track and monitor the change in precious metals prices. What makes it even better is that the site makes it easy to make a gold or silver purchase.

Surival Is the Name of the Game

In the coming days, there will likely be a substantially big paradigm shift in terms of money, finance and the global economy. This shift is unavoidable and will happen according to economic law and laws of the universe in general. A faulty and nonfunctional system will always eventually cease to exist, and equilibrium will eventually return. As a wise investor, looking ahead into the future, gold and silver are not an investment strategy, but rather a survival strategy.

Needing someone to manage YOUR online reputation these days?

After giving Reputation.com a thorough look-through, I was quite impressed by what the site offers. Although I personally am not in need of the services, at least not yet, I believe that what this site provides is essential for a person promoting themselves as a novelist, businessperson, dentist, or any professional who relies on the www for their business.

The site has a truly unique approach that let’s customers choose a plan according to their needs and budget. The products offered have won awards, and the site itself is run by a prestigious and qualified staff in the field. When I first arrived to the site, I was greeted by immediately eye-catching graphics and words. I enjoyed that I knew what I was getting into the moment I clicked on the site’s link.

Product Offerings x3

The goal of Reputation.com is to help individuals to maintain and protect their online presence, which is something that is much more possible online than offline. The site offers a selection of products that come for an annual fee.

The site offers a product called “Reputation defender” whose chief features are the ability to fix results on Google, hide undesirable links, and make you visible online. This service seems like a great deal, because we all know how unforgivable the internet is.

Another product, “my reputation,” seems to act as more of a monitoring service than a fixing one. This seems like a good service especially for people who are just starting their business or online presence.

The third product, “my privacy,” seems like a good service for anyone, even if they aren’t working on an online presence. People would be surprised at the amount of their personal information can be learned from a quick Google search. This tool can help you decide what you want people to see.

Payment Options

I personally think that it might be better to have monthly payment options too. I didn’t see an option for a trial period, but that could be helpful too. Despite this, I believe there are plenty of people out there who would be willing to invest in these services right away. The nice thing is that customers can choose from a simpler or plan or a more advanced plan to fit their budget.

Site Overview: Staff, Styling, Signs

From reading the management page, it appears that your business would be in good hands with Reputation.com. They offer a large, experienced staff who are qualified and dedicated to helping your reputation.

I found the site to be professional, stylish, and easily navigable. It was easy to find the information I was looking for, and it is all arranged neatly. It was a breath of fresh air seeing a site with great information as well as a great design.

One thing that I would take out is the little pop up window that keeps coming up asking you to register. I realize that this is pretty common with these types of websites, but I still think that people who have interest will register of their own free will.

And in the end

Overall, the site was a great experience that offers a unique and useful product. I would definitely recommend checking out this website to anyone interested in buying reputation management services, whether for personal branding, professional or business-related reputational management.

Do you want to be financially and physically fit?

Posted by

I really liked reading advice about being financially and physically fit together on a recent online excursion. It seems that the two things can go hand in hand. So I decided to experiment with part of the article

Joining a Gym, or Leaving?

It seems really obvious that joining a gym and then not going every day isn’t really a financially sound practice, but I got so used to belonging to the gym that I basically stopped thinking about physical activity anywhere else.

It’s sort of like the dishwasher breaking and panicking that there are no clean dishes without remembering that you can hand wash dishes by hand. I just stopped thinking about physical exercise outside of the gym.

This article definitely broke it down into actual money I can save. So before terminating my gym membership which is actually cheaper than the $125 fee mentioned in the article, it costs $80 a month so it’s actually less than three dollars a day, I figured I’d try exercising outside of the gym, just to make sure.

Walking: The first thing that’s weird about walking rather than going to the gym is that there’s no machine telling me how fast I’m going or how long I’ve been at it or whether my heart rate has reached some optimal level. All that stuff is easy to readjust to for a few days just by committing to an amount of time you’re going to walk.

The second thing that took some adjustment was creating a walking route. For some reason it’s easier for me if I have a planned route. So I started with the whole around the block thing which didn’t take up the 45 minutes I know I should be spending walking. The simple solution for me was walking to some nature trails that are about three blocks away from my home.

The third thing I discovered is that I’d come to rely on the TV at the gym. Suddenly I was looking at my surroundings instead of watching TV. Trying to pick up some speed is a sure cure for the TV withdrawal. Paying attention to the ground also takes more focus than moving on a gym machine so I’m missing the TV less.

But I’m not an all-weather walker yet. If it’s raining, I’m not out there. Maybe I will at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. When I start getting annoyed with myself on days I don’t go outside because of the weather, I think about the days I didn’t go to the gym either! Those were not a few, I can tell you!

Doing some exercises inside can fill the gap but I haven’t incorporated a great routine into my bad weather workouts yet. Also I found out my gym needs thirty days notice for me to terminate so if you’re thinking of doing this, you might want to find out the kind of notice your gym requires. And watch for any penalties that you may get, those contract clauses can come back to bite you!

Lunch Time

As far as the eating smart and saving money advice in the article, I liked the idea of purchasing gourmet meals from the grocery store. Still, I have to admit I like going out for dinner sometimes. There are some pretty reasonable places to eat in my area so instead of going to the most expensive places I can go to one of the less expensive places.

But if food variety is the issue for you, those gourmet meals in the food store sound like a great alternative to try. I do like the portion control (and calorie control) of pre-made meals which kind of force you to stop over-consuming, just make sure you don’t buy the double packs, or extra large servings. So I’m sure I’ll be trying them at some point.

Get a Life Cycle/Bicycle?

And you’ll notice I didn’t talk about the life cycle or bicycle. I’ll be damned if I actually know what a life cycle is! I did ride a couple of ‘special’ bikes at the gym, but I couldn’t remember if that was what they were called. And for bicycling, I’ve never been good at that, … I always get a sore ‘behind’ much quicker than my patience running out. So I’m not sure I’ll be trying either of those out any time soon!

Make Sensible Decisions

Sounds obvious, but there are times where we are spending money and we may actually be impairing our health. So look at your spending, check out the AceCashExpress Blog for some helpful financial advice.
