"How To Become A PEOPLE MAGNET…"
We all know those people who just seem
to be PEOPLE MAGNETS. The ones that everyone loves and want to be
Yeah, I'm talking about the:
The Funny Guy, who obnoxiously
interrupts you, and gets all the laughs while you try to get in your
pathetic "two cents"
The Charming Slacker at work who
promoted quick-smart and becomes successful and rich while you work
overtime to impress the boss
The Popular Guy who gets ALL the
attention wherever he goes, while you sit in the corner alone, talking
to no-one
The "Pimp" who gets the opposite sex
ALL OVER THEM while you can't even get a decent girlfriend or boyfriend
This secret, though simple… is extremely
important. IT CAN GET YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT IN LIFE.
And why? Because people will LIKE you.
when people like you, you gain influence… people will try and do all
they can to please you. And this is EXACTLY why this secret is so damn
So without further ado… I present the
simple secret.
The simple secret behind this is that THEY
ARE FUNNY. They understand what is funny and humorous (at least at an unconscious level).
And because of this they are Master Conversationalists that are loved
by anyone and everyone they meet.
And THIS is what EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON
Don't believe me?
Take a look at this recent study
published in The New York Times:
In a 10-country survey by Ipsos
the traits people seek in the opposite sex, wealthy men were "half as
likely as men less well-off to value physical attractiveness the most
in a woman." Respondents were given a list of four characteristics and
asked to pick the one they prize most highly in the opposite sex.
For American men,
affection/sensitivity and humor were the most desirable traits in a
woman (each drawing 44 percent of the vote), with good looks (8
percent) and money (2 percent) lagging far off the pace. American women
were most likely to say they value affection/sensitivity in a man (51
percent), with humor a solid runner-up (38 percent). Money (8 percent)
and looks (2 percent) lagged far behind.
That's right. For men HUMOUR beat good
by an enormous 36%. So much for every guy wanting that "hot girl". And
for women, Humor managed to beat Money by a whopping 30% and beat good
looks by 34%!
"My talks have gone from ordinary to great really
My conversational skill has been enhanced by this & I'm confident
enough now to walk in to any hangout and talk to any girl without even
thinking about rejection."
-- Marshall R.
"This has been the best shot to my personality
development in a long time. I am making moves that I thought were
impossible to do, but not now!" -- Kristopher Hinch.
Or how about this study here…
In which a man interviewed THOUSANDS of
single women about what they look for in a man, and personality traits
that turn them on. Here are the TOP 4, in order:
1. Sense of humor.
2. Fun to be with.
3. Good conversationalist.
4. Intelligent.
1. Sense of humor.
2. Fun to be with.
3. Good conversationalist.
4. Intelligent.
You're about to be handed the KEY to
developing all of these traits and more…
Look I could go on, there have been
of these studies done proving everything from "Humor being one of the
top traits Employers look for when hiring a worker" to "Humor being the
main influence on how much sex someone gets".
But come on, let's stop mucking around
and get to the good stuff.
really must send kudos to you all. This has truly been $$ well spent.
You've provided me with an immeasurable amount of info. As a "self
taught" humorist that has been ardently at it for 3 years, you've
provided me with some much appreciated guidance and direction. Hats off
to all. I
am and will forever be grateful for what I have learned thus far...and
I've just "scratched the surface" of what is available. Thanks
-- Logan Riccardi.
just amazing. This is a brilliant book. If you're a beginner and
looking for a solid start, look no further. You've found it. You'd be
daft not to get this."
-- Sarath Chandra.
So let's cut to the chase and show you
how you can become that person everyone wants to be around.
First, though… let me tell you a little
bit about my "formula"…
– VERY IMPORTANT* If There's
Only One Piece Of This Message You Read, Make it THIS… Yes… It's THAT
What if I told you… that there
was an actual science to being funny, witty, interesting and being
liked by other people.
An actual formula. The "Holy Grail" if
you like.
Well I'm here to tell you that there is
And it is so potently powerful, that ONLY the SINGLE BEST comedians in
the world know it (and most do not even use it to its full potential).
In fact I think it's so powerful… that
to an extent, I regret talking about here.
But alas… Because I really want you to
get this, I shall continue! ;)
Involved in this formula are 6 KEY
elements. (these elements are covered in "fine- comb" detail in
my book "How To Be Funny"... more on that shortly.)
Every single piece of humor is
generated using these 6 elements. Yep, that's right… and Every Single
Thing That You've Ever Laughed At uses these six elements.
Each of these "elements" work at
different levels. And they WORK IN A CERTAIN ORDER (this
part is very crucial, you know the elements that make up this formula
and you will STILL struggle; it's getting them in COMPLETE order that
will help you to become ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS).
Keep in mind that when you
read my book, I will give them in a basic format (that becomes more
advanced as the book goes on). Remember, they are very sacred to me
so once you are exposed to them… DON'T SHARE THEM WITH OTHERS.
– Stan ;)
When you find out about these special
and select elements, SOME will be complete forehead-slappers…
You know the ones where you find
yourself yelling "Why the heck didn't I think of that!!?"
Because they are so obvious yet you will
have never thought of them.
Some of them are A LOT more potent.
Some of these elements, not even 1 in
100 comedians know, and even the best comedians in the world who do
know it… (most would know
these elements SUBCONSCIOUSLY), DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE IT TO
This formula literally blows people
Because they begin to see how EASY and SIMPLE it is to become a really
funny person. Because it really is easy and simple to become a funny
person. The formula is easy to learn.
UNDERSTANDING THIS FORMULA will make
the most witty, popular, interesting, funny and charming person among
virtually ANY peer group. (Unless someone else has found out about
my book, in that case you'll both be the popular ones, haha!)
I am about to show you my new exclusive
book. The one that contains this secret 6 element formula… in which you
will learn EXACTLY how to be funny… in which you will learn exactly how
to create humor and how humor works.
Do you know how immensely powerful this
will be?
Once you understand this SECRET FORMULA
(which is revealed in my book, more on that very soon)… and know each
of the 6 elements and more importantly WHICH SPECIFIC ORDER the
elements are combined in to create the secret formula of humor…
Being funny will become easy to you. It
will become second-nature. You WILL NOT even have to give it second
thought. It will be effortless.
Actually, there's two.
First of all, I need to say something.
See a
lot of people out there selling books on "how to be funny" tell you
that you can be that hilarious person INSTANTLY with no work. By just
reading some words you will become funny, interesting, witty, charming…
OVERNIGHT, without having to do anything!
This is simply not true, so I
want to warn you… that if you are thinking that MY book… or anyone
else's will help you get what you want instantly, and all you will have
to do is read words, then you are thinking about this the wrong way.
I like how there is additional info that I wouldn't learn everywhere
else. This book cares about quality information and the integrity of
great teaching. Many people will remember and appreciate these
techniques forever.Other
teachers just want your money and don't teach you anything. How to be
Funny has given me the foundation to help me access my dream.
Who doesn't want to be popular? This is a godsend!!! Don't ignore your
creative impulses.... I did for over 10 years. No more...the funny guy
in me is coming alive with the generous help of Stan. Thank you."
-- Rusty Jones.
Listen, I don't know you well. But lets
talk on a 1-1 personal level.
I do know the struggles you're going
through. I'll keep it between me and you but I know you want to be the
person that everyone likes. The person who is funny, and just drips of
I genuinely want to help you. I can't
make it any clearer… I WANT YOU TO GET THE SOCIAL SUCCESS THAT YOU
I'm not sure if you realize this… I AM
PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING AND TEACHING OTHERS (and teaching correctly
without false promises just to get some "quick cash").
I'll say it once more. I AM
PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING AND TEACHING OTHERS. This is want I want to do
until the day I die.
This is why I am not going to BS you
all this "overnight success, takes no work" this is what all the other
teachers out there are doing.
I simply can't do that. It would be
violating my integrity as a person.
So… let me explain this first catch.
You will have to put in a little bit of
work and practice to become the person you want to be.
This is simple logic in life. Anything
that is remotely desirable will take some work. Nothing worth having
can be got easy.
And lets me just say, that this work is
WORTH IT. There is absolutely no comparison to the small amount of work
you put in, for huge success. To be the person you want to be.
Trust me. If you really want to improve
as a person you WILL DO THIS. You will
The second catch…
"Some People Just Can't
Be Funny…"
The above statement is partially true.
Though I do believe that some people aren't funny by nature…
ANYONE can be taught. All they
need to become super hilarious, witty, interesting and great at
conversation are the right tools.
Only problem is… THERE IS HARDLY
I already explained how a lot of the
teachers out there are only trying to get your money. That's not me. I
cannot do that, I would feel bad doing so.
"You really do care about helping me and walking
me through the experience…
Within the first 30 seconds after opening the site, I KNEW that it was
going to be a great book. This is a wonderful course. It is simple and
very user friendly. I think Stan is an excellent teacher and pays
attention to detail. You get your money's worth and then some!
so appreciative of this service. I am also very refreshed by your
personal approach, and the customer-oriented view you apply to your
business. I do not feel as if
I am taken advantage of, but instead as if you
really do care about helping me and are walking me through the
experience. Please don't ever lose your healthy
perspective...it is a gem in today's world."
-- Rosie Embert.
That's why with my book, I give you
EVERYTHING you need to fast track yourself and become an interesting,
witty and funny conversationalist that EVERYONE wants to meet with and
be around…

PACKED with very very valuable information, information that doesn't
need hundreds of pages to be explained (come on… do you really want to
waste you time reading a bunch of fluff that goes on for 1000 pages?)
Let's put it this way… Say
you've found a safe
with 1 million dollars in it. How much would you pay to know the
combination to this safe? You see even though the combination on the
safe could fit on a small piece of paper, this piece of paper is very
valuable. The same goes for my book. I try not to fluff around and just

Look, I've spent HUNDREDS of man-hours,
at least a good 4 years of research perfecting and developing the
advanced techniques and information in this valuable book. The first
edition of "How To Be FUNNY!" was published in 1997. (It became a top 10 seller in
the country for more than a year!)

for yourself would take HUNDREDS of hours of work (no seriously, you
don't know how hard I worked to develop my techniques)… And in the real
world, time is money which means you'd be losing a lot of money if you
were to do this.
Getting coached by a professional
(and I mean a REAL professional that can actually help you, not one of
those free community courses) would cost you at least $700 at the
cheapest, if not a few thousand dollars.

even HALF of that!

far as a shy guy I have searched the internet for many ways to become

same thing over and over, until you get it into your brain and tongue."

REFLECTIONS about the writer's experience covering the 1961 Freedom Rides. The desegregation of the New Orleans schools took place toward the beginning of a year the writer spent in the South, in the Atlanta bureau of Time—from the fall of 1960 to the fall of 1961. It's a period now being recalled in any number of half-century commemorations. The public schools of New Orleans and Atlanta were desegregated. Sit-in movements succeeded in desegregating lunch counters and other public facilities in Atlanta and Nashville. Freedom Riders made their way through the South in an effort to demonstrate that Supreme Court decisions desegregating interstate transportation were routinely flouted on buses and in waiting rooms. In the year the writer was there, the South sometimes seemed like a foreign country. There were two major commemorations of the Freedom Rides anniversary this spring, one in Jackson, Mississippi, and one in Chicago. In simplest terms, the Jackson gathering—which was officially co-hosted by Governor Haley Barbour and Representative Bennie Thompson—was a commemoration of a historical period, in the spirit of reconciliation and even apology. The Chicago gathering was a reunion organized by people who believe that the struggle is still going on. Mentions Reverend Jim Lawson. Under the sponsorship of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Freedom Rides campaign had begun on May 4, 1961, with two buses embarking from Washington D.C.; it was abandoned ten days later in Birmingham, after the riders on one bus were attacked by a mob there and the other bus was firebombed in Anniston, sixty miles or so to the east. Within days, students from the Nashville movement appeared in Birmingham to take up where CORE had left off—riding from there to Montgomery and eventually on to Jackson. Describes a bus trip the writer took with the Freedom Riders from Montgomery to Jackson, Mississippi, in 1961. One of Barbour's speeches at the Jackson commemoration was at the unveiling of a plaque that marked the old Greyhound station as a stop on what the state is calling the Mississippi Freedom Trail—a tourism scheme that is joining the Mississippi Blues Trail and the Mississippi Country Music Trail. Presumably, this is the sort of thing that the Chicago-reunion organizers had in mind when they wrote, "Mississippi white racists have discovered the millions of dollars that can be derived from tourism pertaining to the legacy of the civil rights movement." Another way to look at it is as evidence that Mississippi, after half a century, is definitely part of America: it has figured out how to turn its history, even its horrific history, into an industry.

TWO PLAYERS TIED AT ONE-UNDER-PAR AFTER FIRST ROUND Stafford aces 145-yard No. 11
NORMAN, Okla. Battling 18 mile per hour winds at the Belmar Golf Course, Joe Doramus of Little Rock, Ark., and Jordan Wynn of Norman, Okla., each shot a one-under-par 69 to lead the field at the Medicus Preseason Junior at Norman.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Medicus Preseason Junior at Norman is being held at the Belmar Golf Club in Oklahoma. The par-70 course is set up at 6,357 yards for the Boys Division, which consists of 84 players from 16 states and Canada. There are 21 residents from the state of Oklahoma.
Doramus, who started play on No. 10, shot a one-under-par 33 on his first nine holes, followed by an even back-nine. Doramus had three birdies, two of which were on par-3 holes, and one double-bogey in his first AJGA event.
I was feeling good today everything was just coming together for me, said Doramus. I knew I had been practicing well and I had a lot of confidence coming into today's round.
Wynn carded two birdies and one bogey in his first AJGA tournament, shooting an even 36 on the front-nine and a one-under-par 33 on the back. Wynn birdied No. 10, a 315-yard, par-4 and the par-3 17th.
The course played tough, but not as tough as it can, said Wynn, who earned the local course exemption to play in the event. I played solid all day, and I couldn't have asked to make any more putts.
Britt Ritter of Ardmore, Okla., is currently second with a 37-33 70, followed closely by three players tied at 71, including Dillon Rust of Edmond, Okla., (34-37), Adam Sturlese of Lafayette, La., (38-33) and Benjamin Bauch of Trabuco Canyon, Calif., (37-34)
After paring his first hole of the day, Trevor Stafford, of Edmond, Okla., aced No. 11, a 145-yard, par-3, earning his first ever hole-in-one.
The shot made me more confident, said Stafford. From then on I knew I had to stay calm and continue with my normal routine. I just needed my swing and my talent to take over after that.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest Association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 countries.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which enters its third decade of support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 200 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 280 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Dottie Pepper, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
Final round tee times will be Sunday from 7:30 9:27 a.m. off the Nos. 1 and 10 tees. The awards ceremony will follow at approximately 2 p.m. at the Belmar Golf Club.

Shop smart at dollar stores, or you could pay too muchThursday, August 13th, 2009
Oh, dollar stores. They are so seductive.
They hook you in with promises of merchandise for only one measly dollar. They can be great, offering good deals on certain merchandise.
But if you're not careful, they can also add up. Many consumers (me included, I will admit) often end up buying more than they need when they go to discount or dollar stores because they rationalize that they are saving a bunch of money. (Important note: If you buy more stuff, you save less money.)
In addition, just because something is a dollar — or 99 cents — does not mean it's a good deal. Sometimes, dollar stores mark up the price of certain items to $1, in order to make a larger profit.
Here's a photo gallery of 10 dollar store deals to skip.
Have you ever bought something at a dollar store, then realized you probably overpayed for it? Share your story by posting a comment below!

The founding idea of the Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion is that the many forms and publics of the study of religion are best served by the rigors of humanistic and social scientific inquiry and guided by the purpose of the University of Chicago's motto: crescat scientia vita excolator.
The Center thereby exists to further advanced research into the religions with the confidence that growth in knowledge enriches personal and social existence. In order to achieve that purpose, the Center provides support for research pursued by the Divinity School faculty, University of Chicago graduate students, and affiliated scholars from around the world. Through a wide and inclusive variety of consultations, conferences, and publications, the Center brings scholarly perspectives to bear on religious questions facing the wider national and global publics, while encouraging scholars to situate their academic questions within a broader cultural frame of reference.
The vision of establishing an institute for the advanced study of religion at the University of Chicago came from Joseph M. Kitagawa, the Dean of the Divinity School from 1970 to 1980. The Institute for the Advanced Study of Religion officially opened in October 1979 with Professor Martin Marty as its first director; In 1998, the Institute was renamed the Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion in order to honor "Marty" for his distinction as a scholar of religion and public life.
I urge you to explore our website for details on the ongoing projects and seminars of the Marty Center. These include the Junior Fellows Seminar, Senior Fellows and Visiting Scholars programs, faculty working groups , lectures, and national and international conferences. Additionally, the Center and the Divinity School publications and online materials are available. A brief glance at the list of conferences (upcoming and past) will show an astonishing range of topics and traditions explored as well as the number of world-renowned speakers who have participated in those events. Similarly, you can explore our Fellow's Seminar to see the range of disciplines, traditions, and topics of the dissertations of Junior Fellows and the focus of Senior Fellows research and lectures.
The Divinity School of the University of Chicago and The Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion are the forefront of careful, intelligent, rigorous, and creative inquiry into the world's religions in all their forms. I invite you to explore the Center's resources and also to join the conversation about religion in our global age.
William Schweiker
The Edward L. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor of Theological Ethics and Director of the Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion

Looking to invest in Gold and other Precious Metals, but not sure how to get started? That's what this APMEX First Time Buyer Page is all about. The information provided here is a great first step in your journey with Precious Metals. Simply click on an individual tab below that interests you, or read through each for a broader understanding of how to invest in Precious Metals.
Gold, Silver and Precious Metals Basics
Even if you're a complete beginner, you may know more about Precious Metals than you think. Consider phrases like "as good as Gold" and "worth its weight in Gold." Chances are we've all used expressions similar to these in our daily lives to convey time-tested value.
Gold was first refined in 3600 B.C. It built ancient empires in Egypt, Rome and Babylon and currently sustains our modern day economies. Gold and other Precious Metals have been the measure of wealth for centuries and continue to be a store of value to those who possess them.
Precious Metals have become so much a part of our daily lives - jewelry and coins are just two examples. Precious Metals like Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are also used in electronics, automotive parts, health care and even space missions. Whether in industry or as investments, it is important to understand how Precious Metals are used and how valuable they are to us all.
Know the Lingo
Gold - A precious yellow metallic element (Atomic Number 79) that is resistant to oxidation and is highly ductile and malleable. Used in coinage, jewelry and industrial applications, Gold has long been used as a store of wealth and a standard for currencies worldwide.
Silver - A soft-white lustrous metal, Silver (Atomic Number 47) has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity of any metal and occurs both in minerals and in free form. It is used extensively in coins, jewelry, tableware and photography. Its chemically active nature causes changes in color or tones when exposed to air and certain elements.
Platinum - A heavy, malleable, ductile, precious, gray-white metal, Platinum (Atomic Number 78) is resistant to corrosion. Platinum is used in jewelry, laboratory equipment, electrical contacts, dentistry and automobile emissions control devices. Platinum coins and bars are now very popular investments.
Palladium - A rare Silver-white metal of the Platinum group. Palladium (Atomic Number 46) resembles Platinum chemically and is primarily used as an industrial catalyst and in jewelry.
Bullion - Bullion refers to Precious Metals products that are manufactured in a bar, round or ingot form by a refiner or private producer and usually having a purity of at least 99.5% or more.
Bullion Coin - A legal tender coin, produced by a sovereign government, the value of such coin primarily depends on its Precious Metal content rather than it legal tender or numismatic value.
See the Glossary for a complete list of key Precious Metals terms.
Fun Facts:
- More Gold has been extracted from the Earth in the last 50 years than throughout the rest of history.
- To be considered "pure," Gold, Silver and Palladium products must be at least .999 fine (99.9% pure), and Platinum products must be .9995 fine (99.95% pure).
- If all the Gold ever mined was divided equally among the Earth's 7 billion inhabitants, each person would receive less than one ounce!
- It is estimated about 165,000 metric tonnes of Gold have been mined in Earth's history. Sounds impressive, but it is still only enough to fill three and a half Olympic sized swimming pools.

Why Do People Invest In Gold and Other Precious Metals?
Precious Metals Are Considered By Many As A Long-Term Investment
When you invest in physical Gold, Silver and other Precious Metals, you are purchasing products that have been valued around the world since the Roman Empire. It is this long-term storehouse of value that attracts many investors to a position in Precious Metals. Though there may come a time in the future that you wish to sell your holdings, you may plan to hold on to your investment for the long term, which usually means several years or more.
The Role Of Physical Precious Metals In An Investment Portfolio
Now that you understand that physical Precious Metals are considered by many as a long-term investment, let's review their role in a bigger picture: your investment portfolio.
Many investors entering a position in Gold or Silver do so because they believe it will hold its value independently of other types of investments. For example, the value of Precious Metals is not dependent on the Dollar, and, in fact, often increases when the value of the Dollar decreases, providing in part, a hedge against the loss of purchasing power in currency. Because Gold, Silver and other Precious Metals are traded in a global market, no country, no corporation or any other single entity controls the price, rather the global free markets establish price.
Similarly, Gold and other Precious Metals have historically moved in the opposite direction of stocks and bonds in a non-correlated fashion. This means in a diversified and balanced portfolio, when asset classes like stocks and bonds go down, the fourth asset class in Gold and Silver may go up, or if stocks and bonds go up, Gold and Silver may go down. The concept is that no one can project the future and a balanced portfolio with all of the asset classes has both winners and losers but the overall portfolio should be protecting and growing the total balance.
Protection from volatility and loss of purchasing power are even more significant when considering your retirement. As a first time buyer, you may not be aware that there is a way to combine the long-term diversification benefits of Precious Metals in an Individual Retirement Account. It's called a Precious Metals IRA, and it's an investment option many of our customers choose. Click here to learn more.
Know the Lingo
- Portfolio - A group of multiple investments added together for a combined total position and related aggregate value.
- Hedge - In finance, refers to an investment that counterbalances potential losses or gains of a targeted investment. This term can apply to any combination of currencies, stocks, metals, bonds and more that have tendencies to move opposite of each other under the same market conditions.
- Purchasing Power - The number of goods/services that can be purchased with a unit of currency. If there is inflation in the currency, it would require more of the currency to buy the very same goods/services. The United States Federal Reserve Bank has a stated goal to inflate the U.S. Dollar by 2% every year, thus reducing the purchasing power of the Dollar.
- Diversification - Diversification is the idea of reducing investment risk by investing in a variety of assets. Diversification and hedging are two general techniques which savvy investors may employ to reduce overall portfolio risk.
- Asset Classes - The four asset classes in which people spread their investments are stocks, bonds, cash and tangible assets (like Gold).
- Volatility - Volatility is the variation of a financial instrument's price over time. High volatility provides investors with opportunities to buy assets cheaply and sell when overpriced, but it also means the risk of a sudden, unexpected price drop.
- Precious Metals IRA - Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs, are a form of a retirement plan. Another retirement plan, the 401-K plan from former employers, can be "rolled over" or converted to an IRA . A Precious Metals IRA is an IRA plan that allows the owner of the plan to hold Gold and Silver, in addition to other investments.

The Advantages of Physical Gold
There are two basic ways to invest in Precious Metals: paper and physical. ETFs and futures markets such as the NYMEX and COMEX are forms of "paper" investments, whereby ownership is referenced through a paper certificate that gives rights or claims to physical Gold or Silver held in an unknown vault location. Paper investing has one distinct disadvantage: you don't actually hold the physical metal. Many people prefer owning physical Precious Metals because they can take actual possession of their investment. Though there are many ways to trade in Precious Metals, purchasing physical Precious Metals is the only way you'll be able to hold them in your hand.
Know the Lingo
ETF - Exchange Traded Fund is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges that track the price of stocks, commodities, indexes or bonds. Investors buy and sell the fund as they would a stock without having to own the physical commodity that the fund tracks.
NYMEX - The New York Mercantile Exchange, operated by CME Group, which offers paper contracts for commodities such as Platinum and Palladium.
COMEX - Chicago Exchange, Inc, operated by CME Group, which offers paper contracts for commodities such as Gold and Silver.
Physical Precious Metals - Refers to actual Precious Metals products that you can hold in your hand.
See the Glossary for a complete list of key Precious Metals terms.
Fun Facts:
- If you stretched out one ounce of Gold into the thickness of a sewing thread, it would extend for 50 miles.
- The U.S. Mint has sold more than 300 million Silver Eagle coins since the program began in 1986. And the total mintage for first quarter 2013 exceeded the total mintage for any entire year in the program history from inception in 1986 until 2007.
Types of Physical Precious Metals Products
You can purchase Precious Metals generally in three different forms: bars, coins and rounds. Each type of product provides its own benefits for buyers. Bars and rounds, also known as bullion, are great for investors as they tend to carry the lowest premiums, although they are subject to verification of authenticity. Smaller sizes of these products, such as a 1 oz bar or round, have high liquidity and can be bought and sold quickly because they are priced strictly for their Precious Metals content and have little to no collectible value.
Bullion Coins, on the other hand, tend to carry slightly higher premiums because they have a somewhat higher production cost from the minting process and carry a guarantee by the issuing government of purity and authenticity. Coins can also have numismatic value, which is explained in the next section.
Government mints transform large quantities of refined Precious Metals into the products we buy. These sovereign mints are backed by a government and are able to manufacture coins for currency (U.S. Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, etc.). Private mints (such as Sunshine Minting, Pamp Suisse, etc.) typically don't manufacture currency, but instead produce other high-quality Precious Metals products. Here is a list of our Top 40 most popular products.
Investing vs. Collecting
Investors and collectors tend to focus on different types of Precious Metals products. Investors are motivated by the economic incentives of ownership through capital gains, hedging properties and portfolio balance. In contrast, collectors seek numismatic items in order to complete a collection of dates for a series or to upgrade quality in their collection. However, anyone can buy bullion and/or numismatic products, but it is wise to know the difference so that you understand the value of each type and how that value is determined (see definitions for Bullion and Numismatic below).
Collectors readily accept third-party guarantees that grading services provide relating to both the quality and the authenticity. This third-party service increases confidence and enhances liquidity in the collectible market.
Know the Lingo
Bar - Bars and rounds are produced by refiners and other private companies and generally carry a lower premium over the value of the Precious Metal content.
Bullion - Bullion refers to Precious Metals products that are manufactured in a bar, round or ingot form by a refiner or private producer and usually having a purity of at least 99.5% or more.
Bullion Coin - A legal tender coin, produced by a sovereign government, the value of such coin primarily depends on its Precious Metal content rather than it legal tender or numismatic value.
Collectible Coin - Coins that are of interest to collectors for the numismatic value they carry in addition to their Precious Metal content. The value may be determined by the coin's condition, age, rarity, artistry and more.
Grading Service - provide third-party certification of the condition or quality or state of preservation along with authenticity of numismatic products. The top two grading services in the U.S. are the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), but several others exist.
Liquidity - How quickly and easily a product or investment can be sold. If an investment can be sold quickly with a narrow spread, it is said to be highly liquid.
Government Mint - A mint is a government owned industrial facility that processes and manufactures Precious Metals products for sale.
Private Mint - A privately owned industrial facility that processes and manufactures Precious Metals products for sale.
Numismatic - Numismatic products carry what is known as "collector value" in excess of their intrinsic metal value. Older or rarer products, as well as those certified by a grading service, have a higher premium because of their numismatic value.
Premium - Premium is the additional cost of a Precious Metals item above the spot price. This includes costs for fabrication, distribution and a dealer charge.
Round - Rounds appear similar to coins, though they are not legal tender for any government.
Spread - The Spread is the difference between the buying price and the selling price of a product. For example, if a dealer will buy your Silver Eagle for a $1.80 premium that you purchased at a $3.50 premium, the spread is $1.70. The spread is used to measure how far the metal's price needs to move to create an investment gain.

Fun Facts:
- The World's most popular Gold bullion coin is the South African Gold Krugerrand, which was first minted in 1967.
- All dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollar coins minted in 1964 or earlier were minted in 90% Silver. So be sure to check the date when someone hands you a quarter; it could be worth more than just 25 cents!
- The Double Eagle was first minted for circulation in 1850 in response to the increased Gold supply of the California Gold Rush of 1849.
3 Easy Steps to Buying Gold and Silver
How to Buy Physical Precious Metals
Every Precious Metals product carries an intrinsic value based on its metal content in Troy ounces. A product's final sell price is a combination of the spot price multiplied by its actual metal weight plus a premium. Spot prices are composed of two parts — the Ask and the Bid — which are updated minute by minute throughout the day. Each component is important when pricing and comparing different Precious Metals products.
Many first time buyers choose sovereign bullion coins as their first purchase because of the government guarantee of the metal content and Troy ounces they offer. As a first time buyer's Precious Metals knowledge grows, so does the breadth of products they purchase. APMEX publishes buy and sell prices for many of our most popular items so you know what to expect if you ever need to sell. It's our goal to be as transparent as possible throughout the entire process.
Know the Lingo
Ask & Bid - The Ask is the spot price used to determine the total price at which a dealer will sell a product. The Bid is the spot price used to determine the total price at which a dealer will buy a product.
Metal Content - The total amount of Precious Metal in a product measured by weight. Actual Gold Weight (AGW) and Actual Silver Weight (ASW) are other ways of noting Precious Metal content.
Troy Ounce - The troy ounce is the most common unit of measurement for Precious Metals and is the current standard for bullion pricing and trading. It is slightly heavier than the avoirdupois, or common "kitchen," ounce, with 1 Troy ounce being equal to 1.097 avoirdupois ounces.
Fineness / Purity - The fineness (or purity) of a Precious Metal is measured in 1,000 parts: A Silver American Eagle has a fineness of .999, meaning it is 99.9% pure Silver.
Spot Price - Spot is the current market price of the metal, which is always changing during global market hours (just like a normal stock changing minute-by-minute throughout the day).
Premium - Premium is the additional cost of a Precious Metals item above the spot price. This includes costs for fabrication, distribution and marketing.
Spread - The Spread is the difference between the buying price and the selling price of a product. For example, if a dealer will buy your Silver Eagle for a $1.80 premium that you purchased at a $3.50 premium, the spread is $1.70. The spread is used to measure how far the metal's price needs to move to create an investment gain.

Owning Gold and Other Precious Metals
How To Care For Your Precious Metals
Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium in the products sold by APMEX are generally soft, pliable metals. You should take great care in handling and caring for your Precious Metals to preserve their value. Protective casings preserve your product's value.
Many bullion products from refiners and other mints often come in tamper-evident assay cards that authenticate their weight and purity; tampering with these assay cards can reduce a product's resale value and make it harder to sell. Many of the products sold by APMEX are sold in a protective container or tube. For those products not purchased in a container, APMEX sells capsules, boxes, albums and more to help you protect, store and organize your Precious Metals products.
Some of the Precious Metals products are collectible coins in a condition or state of preservation of uncirculated or perhaps were specially made for collectors in proof condition. If you purchase collectible coins because of their beauty and additional value (above the melt content), then consider these guidelines to follow when handling your collectible Precious Metals coins:
- Hold the coin by its edges between the thumb and forefinger, so your fingers never touch the obverse or reverse surface. Fingerprints can be difficult to remove and the natural oils on your skin can be corrosive.
- Hold coins over a soft towel or other soft surface in case you drop them. Even a short drop can cause permanent damage.
- Avoid talking directly over your coins. Tiny, almost invisible droplets of saliva can drop onto the coin and show up later as spots.
While it may be tempting to clean Precious Metals products and make them look shiny and new, proceed with caution. Cleaning can severely reduce your coin's value! Collectors tend to prefer coins that show the deep coloration of age over those whose surfaces have been stripped away by improper cleaning. . Even the mildest touch can scratch the delicate surface, reducing the coin's luster and value.
Storing Your Precious Metals
You have two options of where to store your Precious Metals, at home or off site. Many of our customers want to keep their purchases close by, while others prefer to store their metals at another location. While there are pros and cons to both, whatever you choose, APMEX has a solution for you.
The main benefit of self-storage is that your metals are close by in case you ever need them. Whether on display or hidden away in a home vault or safe, you know what you own and where it is. Just remember that metals are heavy and can be difficult to handle in large quantities. If not cared for properly, they can become damaged and lose their value. If you choose to go with self-storage, you may choose to protect your holdings and APMEX has capsules, boxes, albums and more to help you protect, store and organize your products.
But what if you don't want to worry about storing your metals yourself? There are many options for offsite storage, including bank safe deposit boxes and third party secure storage. When you buy Precious Metals products from APMEX, you can choose to have them delivered directly to a high-security, private storage facility, managed by one of the world's leading security companies, through Citadel Global Depository Services. Citadel is a wholly owned subsidiary of APMEX that provides maximum security for your Precious Metals. Learn more about Citadel here.
How to Sell Your Precious Metals
We've given you plenty of information about purchasing Precious Metals, but what about selling? As an investor, you want the same confidence when selling as you do when purchasing. You may already know that APMEX is one of the nation's largest online Precious Metals dealers, but you may not know that we also are one of the largest BUYERS of Precious Metal coins and bars in the nation.
When the time comes, you can expect one of the most competitive prices for your Precious Metals, and you can rely on us for a safe, fast and easy transaction. Learn more about selling to APMEX here.
Know the Lingo
Assay Card - A type of tamper-evident packaging typically used for bullion bars. This packaging includes a card that authenticates the weight and purity of the product it holds.
Uncirculated - A state of preservation describing coins that never circulated in commerce. An uncirculated coin will have no wear handling and no damage from mistreatment.
Proof - A method of manufacture whereby the coin is struck by highly polished dies multiple times, resulting in a lustrous, mirror-like finish on the background surface, or field, of the coin. This background provides contrast for the design, or device, to help it stand out.
Luster - The gentle sheen or soft reflective glow of an uncirculated or pristine coin. As a coin is circulated, its luster will fade.
See the Glossary for a complete list of key Precious Metals terms.

Precious Metals' Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the different Precious Metals products?
Precious Metals are traded in three forms: bars, coins and rounds.
- Bars are produced by private mints, can be easily stored and are an easy way to accumulate more metal for your dollar. Common weights range from 1 oz to 100 oz, though smaller and larger may be minted.
- Coins come from sovereign mints and carry a face value. They offer a collectability factor that bars and rounds do not. Common weights range from 1/20 oz to 1 oz, though they may be produced up to 1 kilogram (32.15 oz).
- Rounds appear similar to coins, though they have no face value, and can be minted by government or private mints. Common weights range from 1/2 oz up to 5 oz, though smaller and larger may occasionally be minted.
- Why is Gold, despite being more abundant than Silver (current estimates place aboveground Gold at around 5 billion ounces and aboveground Silver at around 450 million ounces), so much more expensive?
The commonly accepted reasons include:
- Gold being used widely in jewelry
- Gold being seen as more of an "alternative currency"
- Gold being in higher demand, both by central banks and individuals
- How is the price of Precious Metals determined?
There are two aspects of a Precious Metals price that you should know: Spot and Premium
- Spot is the current market price of the metal, which is always changing (just like a normal stock changing minute-by-minute throughout the day).
- Premium is the additional cost of a Precious Metals item above the spot price. This includes costs for fabrication, distribution and a minimal dealer fee. Rare coins carry a high premium due to collectible value, while rounds and bars carry the lowest premium since they tend to lack collectability.
- Why should I invest in Precious Metals?
The value of the dollar (and investments attached to the dollar, like stocks and bonds) has been on the decline. Meanwhile, the value of Precious Metals is not dependent on the dollar, and, in fact, generally increases when the value of the dollar decreases. Similarly, Precious Metals can never completely lose their value.

How is pseudoachondroplasia inherited?
Pseudoachondroplasia is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means having one altered copy of the COMP gene in each cell is enough to cause the disorder. In some cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected parent. Other cases result from new mutations in the gene and occur in people with no history of the disorder in their family.[1]

Remote override mapping "per track" besides current Global
Currently, there are 2 complementary modes of controlling Reason through Remote technology (that I know of, besides the default Reason's MIDI implementation, of course):
1) Specific "Remote surface controller mappings" per Reason device set through the .remotemap file
So, locking a specific controller to the main mixer, for instance, is great for those that can spare a surface controller just for that.
2) Global "Remote Override mappings" assigning a "control surface item" to a specific "remotable item" in the rack. This is done per "surface controller", which is cool... to those with many surface controllers :P
This global method is also good for those with few surface controllers but with a huge amount of knobs/faders, etc...
So, currently, there's no way (that I know of) to take advantage of the ease of use(*) and logic behind the 1st method while, at the same time, being able to control simultaneously, sets of multiple devices, with just one controller.
(* Reason still needs a graphical editor for, at least, the settings in the .remotemap files)
Extending the current way of selecting a track to select the device we want to control through Remote, we would get a 3rd method, where each track would "remember" the Remote overrides made while that track was selected. So, in practice, the 3rd method would be a per track Remote override instead of the global one provided by the current 2nd method.
Device locking to a mixer or global overrides are great and helpful for mastering a song or to make any global changes or recording final automations after having everything in place, all the patches done, all the tracks made.
This 3rd method I'm suggesting here, would be great when recording a track or trying out settings on various effects devices connected to the selected instrument while at the same time choosing, creating or editing the patch, and/or adjusting the mixer Pan, Eq, Aux, Level settings of the channel to which the select instrument is connected.
One way to simulate this, would be to package every needed device inside a Combinator and then only assign Combinators to each track.
The problem would be that this would restrict the control to 4+4 control items, also make a very confusing Combinator when the original instrument was itself a Combinator and also this wouldn't let us control the various available settings of the related audio channel in the master mixer.
This 3rd method would let the user do track-related Remote overrides like this example:
Track 1 "Piano" = Combinator 1
+Fader8 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Level
+Button1 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Mute
+Button2 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Solo
+Knob1 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Pan
+Knob4 = Reverb 1: Size
+Knob5 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Aux1
+Knob6 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Aux2
+Knob7 = Main Mixer: Channel 1: Aux3
Track 2 "Strings" = NN-XT 2
+Fader8 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Level
+Button1 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Mute
+Button4 = Unison 1: Voice Count
+Knob1 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Pan
+Knob4 = Unison 1: Detune
+Knob5 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Aux1
+Knob6 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Aux2
+Knob7 = Main Mixer: Channel 2: Aux3
Track 3 "Drums" = ReDrum 1
+Fader8 = Main Mixer: Channel 10: Level
+Button1 = Main Mixer: Channel 10: Mute
+Knob5 = Compressor 1: Ratio
+Knob6 = Compressor 1: Threshold
+Knob7 = Main Mixer: Channel 10: Aux4
In this example, all the unmentioned surface controls (Faders, Buttons, Knobs, etc) would continue to work as usual, controlling the mapped "remotable items" of the target device assigned to the selected track, so the user would still be able to tweak the patch through the remaining controls.
So this 3rd method would in fact let the user have sets of controllable devices per selected track. Something impossible to do right now.
Right now, if the user wants/needs to control some "remotable items" in various devices at the same time, he would need to buy a physical surface controller for each Reason device in the rack he needs to control, even if he only needs a sub-set of the available "remotable items" per selected track (in fact, per controlled *Instrument*).
Sorry for yet another long post, but this was something I wanted to suggest for a while now but wasn't sure how it would be implemented, until now.
more suggestions...

This is similar to my suggestion of having custom mapping patches with the same functionality as the device patches, e.g., edited [via UI] custom named and saved in custom user folders, toggleable, binded to device, saved in song, selected as default. It's a no brainer, as the logic already exists.
While searching for "Remote Graphical Editor" (to check if anyone had already suggested this), I just bumped into this old thread, just realizing that Record arrival enabled me to do exactly what I was trying to achieve with this request
...it's so cool to (slowly) get what I (we?) feel it's missing from our music production environment
