Gold Investing

Working at home is one of those things that gives a person a lot of time to lean back int heir chair and take a good long look at what their home and life are like, and to think about where they want to be in their retirement years. I have been looking more and more at my future in recent years, and at what investments I need to make so that I can have the retirement I want to have.

One of my favorite investment possibilities has always been gold. It is one of the few investments that most people feel confident in the long term investment value of, which makes it the perfect way to diversify a portfolio, particularly one intended to provide for a retirement.

Over the years the price of gold has risen steadily, even with occasional declines, which makes it an ideal investment for long term investing. Those looking to diversify their portfolio might buy gold coins to be put in their private collection or deposited in a bank or depository.

The United States Gold Bureau, a precious metals investment company headquartered in Austin, Texas, can assist investors in buying gold and other precious metals in coin or ingot form, with the coins being available for personal delivery or the hard asset professionals an assist in arranging for storage in an independent bank or depository.

Just because I am very excited about it, and it is on topic with the post I made about getting your story posted in the official Torchwood Magazine, I wanted to let you all know about the comic titled ‘Shrouded’, that appears in the April 15th issue of Torchwood Magazine.

Written by Gareth David-Lloyd, the actor who portrayed the character of Inato Jones in the series, the comic focus primarily on the character Ianto Jones, and "...integrates a number of characters who have been missed by Torchwood’s ardent followers.” according to David-Lloyd.

The comic is illustrated by Pia Guerra, and is a two part comic with the first part in the April 15th issue of the Official Torchwood Magazine.

Taxes

Taxes have officially bested me. I can't find last year's copy I had saved, so I need to file for an extension and request a copy of last year's taxes from the IRS.

Find out more about filing for an extension on the time you have to file your taxes, and what you need to know before you choose to file for an extension.

And if, like me, you need a copy of a past return (up to three years back) you can get transcripts of past tax returns from the IRS for free.
