Paul Monette
Author Gay as big as Paul Monette?

I read "The care of Miss Carol", and now I'm reading "Gold Diggers" I've tried other new novels, but nobody has a way with words like Paul Monette? Could someone please recommend some Really Great Gay novels many thanks beforehand!

Let me first say that although not a novel I would recommend "becoming a man" by Paul Monette – is his autobiography and is an incredibly beautiful book. He is one of my favorite authors and all the time you have a wonderful way with words. As for the fiction of others … there is a book out there called "Spontaneous combustion" by David Feinberg, who is very funny (Feinberg has other books to his credit, too). You also books can prove Bob Smith … but I think his tend to be collections of humorous essays that novels easier. If you like fantasy at all – is not the harbinger Last series of Mage by Mercedes Lackey which has one of the few openly gay characters in fantasy Vanyel Ashkevron. (Lackey is not gay and books are in a genre specific.) You can always check out your local bookstore – Barnes and Noble selection is decent … plus there's always the website of Lambda Rising …. Library can help.

Back in 1999, Alan Greenspan told Congress of the United States, "Gold is always accepted and is the fundamental means of payment and is perceived as an element stability in the currency and the ultimate value of the currency and that historically has always been the reason why governments have the gold. "

Indeed rather a long sentence, but well worth re-reading. Especially if you are interested in protecting their assets and hedging against inflation. Following all Traditional protection strategies offshore assets tend to focus on hiding money in an offshore bank account in order to ensure that your former spouse or creditors do not get at their assets. That's all very well in what will be – but by the devaluation of currencies gradually Fiat as the dollar, the government is taking their money through the final hidden tax "." Because their assets must be counted not only in dollars or pounds. These should be counted as one can buy with those dollars, pounds and euros! In this sense, gold is the perfect hedge against inflation.

Now, back to Alan Greenspan's words, here's my thought for the day. Boiling point of water is about 100 ° C or 212 ° point F. Gold   Boiling is 2856  ° C boiling point or 5173  ° F. Plata is 2162 or 3924  ° C  ° F. Gold is also extremely resistant corrosion and can sit in the corrosive ocean floor for centuries and still retain their luster. (That's why it's fun to go diving underwater for sunken pirate treasure ships!)

In other words, gold coins and bullion physically and can not evaporate or disappear when used as currency in transactions daily or when accumulated safety vaults. offshore bank at all times and in all circumstances gold remains money. It is the final store of value.

Obligations – or receivables – However, can evaporate. We have seen that happen many times recently. From sub-prime securitized mortgages, then with the giant investment programs do not, or perhaps General Motors bonds – not to mention civil forfeiture orders nefarious activities with the bank accounts of people that have never been charged with any crime.

Keep this in mind when considering how to invest in gold. Want that "accounts receivable" denominated in gold ETFs or other methods of gold mining in brokerage accounts? Or do you want real physical gold and silver bullion investment? Up to you!

Peter Macfarlane is an author and lecturer on offshore finance, investment, due diligence and wealth creation matters. He has recently written The Gold Report, a free eBook explaining the why and how of investing in physical precious metals offshore.
