Toadsticker I think the best stories are always character driven. You can have the greatest plot line in the world but if you have wooden characters it falls flat. Whereas if you have a very interesting character people will forgive a sorry plot just to see what this...

Toadsticker I would say keep working on it. Learning another language is hard to do. Making yourself understood will get easier the more you do it. Please don't get upset when someone doesnt understand what you are saying. It is not personal.

Gold or Silver, which is better for investment?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 31 Dec 10

Many people are buying gold or silver for investment. The decline in US Dollar is really alarming. When I started making money online in early 2009, the exchange rate was US$1 to S$1.50. Now the USD is so low that many...

Toadsticker Since they are both so high any "extra money" won't buy much gold, so I would say silver is the better investment just because you can buy smaller chunks of it.
