SARASOTA - Jobs on the suncoast are tough to find as the unemployment rates top 12%.  If you find an open position, you can bet you'll be competing with many others for that position.  But some people have found a way to make money and you can be hired right away.

They're called direct sales consultants, and you've heard of the companies like Mary Kay, Avon, and Tupperware.  Many people have created their own business through companies like these and they're making more money then they've expected...even in this bad economy.

Mary Kay was a way for Meredith Taylor to set her own schedule, working as little or as much as she wants while still being able to spend time with her kids.  "I wanted to supplement some income since we went from two incomes to one when I stayed home and raised my kids.  And I knew I didn't want to go back to corporate America."

In just three years, Taylor is a Mary Kay Sales Director.  She's received two cars from the company and has more than 300 customers.  "I just never imagined that it would bring me to where it is today.  I found that I could earn an executive income depending on how many hours I wanted to put into it."

In 2008, Mary Kay customers bought up $2.6 billion in products.  And it has been growing ever since.

These types of jobs are always available and open to anyone...especially women.  "Women are coming into Mary Kay because they see the opportunity.  This business opportunity is like no other," says Taylor.  "I don't have to like, rearrange Mary Kay for my life...I fit Mary Kay into my life."

"I was looking for something that could fit into my schedule."  Cindy Parker wanted to make a little extra cash, when she first saw a commercial about becoming an Avon representative.  "It sounded like something I could do."

Parker planned to only work part time selling Avon.  But in less than five months, her businesses is booming.  "I'm surprised how much I've been making.  I started out just selling to friends, and then friends of mine would refer me to their friends, and that's how I've been building my client base."

There are many other direct sales consultant jobs out there.  If you are interested in getting involved in one, make sure you know the company you are dealing with.

Recycled Metals

It seems we aren't the only ones recycling metals. Look what the Olympic medals are made of! (I wonder if the gold-plated Gold Medals are made from our recycled gold??)

The Medal Count, by Market Value

This year’s Olympic medals “are the first containing metal salvaged from televisions, circuit boards, monitors and electronic waste.”  Both the “gold” and “silver” medals are actually 92.5% silver, while the bronze medals are mostly copper.  The first-place medals (which are gold-plated) are valued at about $537; the second-place medals are valued at about $300; and the third-place medals are valued at $3.40. Cybermetrics calculated this year’s Olympics champion, by market value of the medals — Canada takes first place with a total haul of $9,635.  (HT: Cyril Morong)

Gold vs. The Dollar

We are seeing an unusal trend right now. Typically when the dollar is weak, gold is strong. Currently, gold seems to be holding its own against the dollar. Interesting story about the metal vs. the dollar. See the link below:

Spring Cleaning

 

When you think of spring cleaning, a home party is most likely not the idea that pops in your head. Most people dread spring cleaning because it's a major task to get rid of all your winter clutter and the cobwebs lurking in dark places. One way of making spring cleaning fun is by selling your old, unwanted or broken jewelry and gold at a gold party! Here are some tips on how you can do that with My Gold Party, LLC.

 

·                Check your jewelry box and dresser drawers - go through your jewelry box and set aside items that you no longer wear, are broken or damaged beyond repair, or items that you would like to turn into cash.

 

·                Host a Home Party - Click here to find your local My Gold Party Representative who can assist you in having your gold party. In addition to the money you will receive for selling your gold and jewelry, as the host you will also be entitled to a host fee (10% of payouts at the gold party).

 

·                Sell Gold without a Home Party - If you would rather not host a home party, you can always sell gold. Simply click here and mail us your jewelry and gold directly. After receiving your gold, we evaluate the metals and email you the payout amount.

 

 

Appraisal Value vs. Scrap Value

 

The purpose of a jewelry appraisal is to put a dollar value on the jewelry being appraised, often for insurance purposes. Often an appraisal is done in case the piece(s) is lost or stolen. Therefore, in the future if this happens, you can replace the item(s) for its "appraised value."

Scrap value, on the other hand, is the price at which an asset may be sold at the end of its useful life. An asset's scrap value derives primarily from the basic value of its underlying parts. (i.e.  how much gold content a piece consists of)

Please note these are two completely separate terms. When speaking about selling scrap gold, these two terms are often used improperly and should not be compared.

 

Firm dollar fails to spook gold

The price of gold has corrected 15% since Comex futures hit an all-time high of $1229 per ounce in early December. How much more weakness will it take for gold to finish basing for the next big move -- a rally that we expect to carry into the mid-$1400s?  A definitive answer could come this week, since the U.S. dollar, which has been in a bear rally since Thanksgiving, is close to some key Hidden Pivot resistance points. If the dollar were to blow past them it would be akin to the groundhog seeing his shadow - i.e., yet more weeks of winter for gold investors. However, there is evidence to suggest that it might be winter of the mildest sort, since gold has begun to show resilience whenever the dollar rallies.

The graph above shows this. Note that the price of gold declined more or less proportionally when the dollar started to rally in early December. Their inverse movement stayed pretty close until recently, with the Dollar Index rising 9.5% off its lows as gold futures fell by 8.7%. But starting about two weeks ago, gold began to rise even when the dollar was firm. To be sure, the dollar's steep upward trajectory has flattened some since early February. But it has risen about 0.25% nonetheless, presumably consolidating for another thrust. Despite this, gold has managed to eke out a 6.5% gain over the same time - a performance that should hearten investors who have patiently awaited an end to a correction that is now in its third month.

$1085 ‘Worst Case'

For the time being, though, the dollar appears bound higher. Hidden Pivot analysis suggests that the immediate upside potential of the Dollar Index is about 3.3%. A corresponding decline in gold would bring the April Comex contract down to $1085 - hardly a disaster, considering that gold has already been down as low as $1044 since the December top. If that's as bad as it gets, it should put no great strain on the nerves of gold investors, even if it tests everyone's patience.

Gold up again

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Gold fell sharply late on Thursday, erasing gains as investors cashed in bullion for U.S. dollars after the Federal Reserve raised a key interest rate.

In after-hours trading, U.S. gold futures for April delivery shed $10.20 to bid at $1,110.50 an ounce at 5:07 p.m. EST (2207 GMT). Just before the announcement it was trading positive after settling lower.

Spot gold was bid at $1,108.05 an ounce at 5:01 p.m. EST (2201 GMT) after staying above $1,120.00 in New York afternoon trading. Earlier gold rose to a session high of $1,123.30 an ounce.

Late in the afternoon, the Federal Reserve said it was raising its discount rate -- the rate it charges banks for emergency loans, citing improvement in financial market conditions.

After the announcement, gold slid as The dollar quickly jumped to its highest level against the euro since May.

"The fact that the euro has fallen to a new low so soon after the news puts a lot of pressure on gold overall," said Frank McGhee, head of precious metals trading at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC in Chicago. "I think if we limit losses to another $10 or $15, we might hold in this particular area. Otherwise we are going to run back down to" three-month lows.

April gold fell below $1,045 an ounce on February 5, its lowest levels since early November.

Before the Fed announcement, gold rose as investors bought bullion despite a firmer dollar and news of upcoming gold sales by the International Monetary Fund.

Debt default worries in Europe had pushed investors toward gold. The price of gold in euro terms hit a record high of 824.27 euros an ounce.

Investors use gold as a hedge against financial turbulence and inflation. Gold generally has in inverse relationship with the dollar, which rallied against the euro in a volatile session. Mixed data fed doubts about the U.S. economy but failed to offset concern about the euro zone.

WON'T DUMP IT

The IMF said it would sell 191.3 tons of gold to the open market under a program approved last year to boost resources for lending. The move has called into question demand for bullion from official sector buyers.

The fund said the sales, part of a program launched last year, will be phased over time to avoid market disruptions.

It left the door open for central banks to keep buying gold directly, nearly four months after India's purchase of 200 tons boosted the country's gold holdings to the 10th largest among central banks.

Analysts see little interest among central banks to buy more gold.

Sri Lanka's central bank governor said his bank was unlikely to buy more gold from the IMF right now as the island nation has already reached its required reserve level.

Among other precious metals, silver erased gains to bid at $15.84 an ounce, platinum was bid at $1,513.00 an ounce against $1,524.50 and palladium at $428.00 from $433.50.
