Gold is a precious metal that according to its past performance – will continue to appreciate in price. As you can see in the five year chart below, the price of gold has continued to risen from about $400 an ounce to slightly more than double that today. What you don’t see is that the price of gold prior to this chart was about $250 an ounce.

Price re-trace also know as ‘Pullbacks’ are normal in any money markets. The obvious difference is that you don’t see any price re-trace on the Gold chart that precedes a major price downturn a.k.a. “Bubble burst” like what happens in the stock markets.

Gold price always manages to recover & probably will continue rising some more in the long run. Thus, gold is a popular investment for people who want to retain the value of their money. Nations need real gold like gold bars to back their currencies. Otherwise, the currency will devaluate. Real gold is what really counts.

I have been pondering on the thought of writing for Helium, more frequently as of late. However, the thought just remains that: a thought. Why? Well, for starters writing an adequately researched 400 plus word article for a meager $0.50 cents makes me think twice. No, it makes me think like a hundred. More so, why should I be participating in a writing site that makes probably a whole lot more money with Adsense & paying its writers so little money?

The key word here is ‘probably’ because Helium does get a lot of traffic & the monetization of the Helium site seems to be paying off. Otherwise, how can a company like Helium afford to pay a single cent to its writers & covers service costs as well, you know – keeping afloat? Sure, Helium sells articles to interested parties & make money out of that too which makes me resent now even more for even thinking of contributing to Helium. Ok, perhaps I am being a little bit judgmental about the situation. Perhaps I should just write for Helium for the pure pleasure of writing. PhhbbBbtttT!

Forget about writing for AC (Associated Content) as they don’t pay ‘up front’ to non Americans & possibly non Canadians too since years ago. It is possible that I will die of old age before AC starts leveling the playing field for others like me. Perhaps I’ll just let Helium take advantage of my writing abilities & start living in denial that I’m just writing there for pure pleasure. I tell myself, it is just jealousy & probably pride that makes me resent Helium.

I reckon writing for Helium won’t be too bad, at best, $2.50 per article added together after a few months will help to pay a bill or two for me. Also, Helium offers a few other ways for writers to earn more money like Marketplace, Stock Content, Invite-a-writer, Contests, & by Rating. Now I’m thinking a hundred & one.

Sleep is important to anybody. An employee that gets better sleep at night will feel fresh & ready for work the next day. Show your concern to your employees by presenting them with a foam wedge pillow corporate gift for better sleeping. The pillows does not have to be pricey ones as long as they work fine is good enough. Better yet try some wedge pillows yourself before buying & handing them out to your employees. The cheapest ones are contoured foam donut ring pillows that cost $8.95 at AllegroMedical.com. Employees that do get better sleep equals better work performance which also equals better productivity & in turn better profits for your company.
