  • Do You Have a Cheating Girlfriend?

    Posted on February 4th, 2010 No comments

    How do you know if you have a cheating girlfriend? Women can be just as bad as men, and as a man, you need to be able to spot the signs. You need relationship advice. So what are the signs? First off if she is unusually critical of the way you look and dress, that is a problem. Next sign is if she is paying way too much attention to how she looks all of a sudden. Remember, her behavior has to be significantly different.

    Next sign is to test her with her phone. No surprise here. If you have been dating someone for months and months, I am sure you have looked through your girlfriends phone, to look at pictures, whatever. If all of a sudden she gets mad at you for looking at her phone; for example,  your in the her car together and your bored so you want to play with her phone. If it become a big deal, that is a sign of cheating.

    Another sign of a cheating girlfriend is all of a sudden she is busy, she won’t make time for you. Remember, girls always make time for their man. The excuses of having to work late, or spending time with friends will hold up for only so long. If it gets to the point where you feel like you are coming in second, it is because you are.

    Last and most important, She’s not as physical with you as she used to be. Your sex life changes significantly. Having sex with you is a bit of a choir now. She is not that into sex with you. Physical intimacy is the biggest red flag of them all. If your not getting as much as you used to. Something is not cooking right in the kitchen. Other smaller signs are not letting you holding her hand in public, or letting you put your arm around her.  Kissing also feels a little  bit off.

    If you have more than two of these signs, you should be concerned. She might not be into you anymore. She might be cheating on you.

  • Profiting With a Gold ETF

    Posted on February 4th, 2010 No comments

    A gold ETF is one of many ways to hedge against the decline in the value of the fiat currency known as the dollar. The only open question is, when this inflation, or decline in the purchasing power of the dollar will hit. Some people buy gold coins and bars as a hedge against inflation. The hedge is that the dollar may go down but the gold will increase in value offsetting the loss in the dollar denominated financial instruments held.

    Another way to hedge against the dollar and to increase profits in general since gold has a lot of upside yet to go, is with an ETF gold fund (Exchange Traded Gold Fund). A fund usually has you invested in a basket of gold futures or different mining companies, spreading the risk. A gold bullion ETF works a little differently than a mutual fund in that it actually trades on the stock market.

    When you do not want to take possession of your gold, ETF investing in gold is a good way to go that gives you the proper exposure to the upside in gold. Some of the ETF’s purchase gold and physically hold onto it. These companies will track gold more accurately because they are more sensitive to the daily gold market quotes. Another type of gold fund is one that follows the gold futures. These are contracts to take delivery of gold. They can be sold before delivery must be taken. Futures contracts in gold are similar to oil futures.

    Honestly, everyone should have some gold in their physical possession in case of social upheaval. The rest should be held in a Gold ETF, whether one based on futures or one that takes possession of gold. It is important where the fund keeps its gold, since in 1933 there was a U.S. gold confiscation. You certainly want your gold in a place that “Uncle Sam” cannot get at it.
