Investing in gold, gold standard - MoneyWeek
Print this article Should you care that China revalued its currency, the yuan, by 2.1% in July? I think you should and I think you should respond by investing in gold . Not as a knee-jerk response to what’s coming, but as a far-sighted one.
The day the Dow fell 777 points, David Latham , a 45-year-old Alabama cattle farmer and electrician, was busy doing errands. Driving his Chevy pickup into Montgomery, he dropped by the hardware store, then stopped into the bank, where he withdrew $8,000 from his CD account, all in 20s. Back home, he slipped the four inch-thick bundles into a Ziploc bag, popped them into a waterproof PVC tube and set out for a remote location on his 300-acre property, where he dug a deep hole with a post digger. And then he buried his money.

Make money: not by building an internet company, but by using the net as a tool to create value and get paid. Use the internet as a tool, not as an end. Do it when you are part of a big organization or do it as a soloist. The dramatic leverage of the net more than overcomes the downs of the current economy. Some examples?

Petrol stations across Britain were reporting fuel shortages and long queues last night as the Government dismissed accusations that it had triggering panic buying. Downing Street defended Francis Maude, the Cabinet Office Minister in charge of emergency planning, after he suggested that drivers should consider filling spare jerry cans with petrol in case of a shortage. The suggestion angered petrol station operators, who accused the Government of “creating a crisis”, and was described by experts as grossly irresponsible.
Pound's fall may herald recovery not doom | Anatole Kaletsky: Economic view - Times Online
A good portion of this industry is still trying to figure out how to make money for the first time (hint: charge people). But for those who’ve mastered that, I want to talk about the next step: making money twice (or three or four times). Making money off original content isn’t hard as long as you aren’t afraid of making money. You can sell it, you can offer subscriptions to it, you can talk about it, etc. But what’s more interesting — and easier — is making money again of something that already made you money before.

The Simple Dollar » The Essential Bookshelf: The Only Eight Books I’ve Kept (After Hundreds of Reviews)
Over the last two years, I’ve reviewed in detail more than a hundred (actually approaching two hundred) personal finance and personal productivity books on The Simple Dollar – for more than a year, I reviewed two a week. Over that time, many readers have asked me what I’m doing with all of those books. Some came from the library, a few were review copies, and some were gifts, but surely I had to be building up quite a library, right? That’s right.Tax Implications for Working Abroad

Would you rather earn $50,000 a year while other people make $25,000, or would you rather earn $100,000 a year while other people get $250,000? Assume for the moment that prices of goods and services will stay the same. Surprisingly -- stunningly, in fact -- research shows that the majority of people select the first option; they would rather make twice as much as others even if that meant earning half as much as they could otherwise have. How irrational is that? This result is one among thousands of experiments in behavioral economics, neuroeconomics and evolutionary economics conclusively demonstrating that we are every bit as irrational when it comes to money as we are in most other aspects of our lives.
