The price of gold increased by 16.4% in the first three months of 2016, its strongest quarterly showing since 1986. Gold significantly outperformed other major stock, bond and commodity indices during the first quarter and based on current trends, many experts are predicting the surge in gold pricing to continue for the foreseeable future.

The World Gold Council identified five key factors supporting the rise in gold prices:

  • Ongoing concerns about economic growth and financial stability in emerging markets
  • A hiatus in the rise of the US dollar
  • The implementation of negative interest rate policies by leading global central banks
  • The return of pent up investment demand for gold
  • Price momentum (i.e. investors following gold’s upward trend).


On the gold coin investment side, combined sales of 22k (Eagles) and 24k (Buffalos) gold coins by the US Mint, increased 51% year over year in the first quarter, while gold-backed ETFs had the second strongest quarter on record, with strong demand from the United States, Europe and China and other regions.

 

While the stock market bounces up, down and all around, there is one investment that has held its value since the dawn of civilization. Gold and silver has been recognized as a store of wealth since the ancient Sumerians.

Win a $10,000 Dream Classroom

teacher appreciation educents 2016

To celebrate Teacher Appreciation month, Educents, FreshGrade, S&S Worldwide, and the Sellers of Educents have partnered to give educators funding for their dream classrooms. The 7 educators with the most votes will win a combined $10,000! Any educator is eligible to win – teachers, homeschoolers, parents, and school administrators.

How to Win

Educators get pretty creative when it comes to raising money to cover expenses for classroom supplies. Many host bake sales, ask the community for second-hand supplies, or pay out of their own pockets. However, there’s a new way to get money for your classroom… and it doesn’t include raiding the aisles of your local dollar store.

It’s easy to enter to win the Educents Teacher Appreciation Giveaway, and it still requires a little creativity (see Step 3).

Step 1: Save up to $5,000 in products for your dream classroom in your Educents wishlist.

Step 2: Click “Enter to Win” on your wishlist page and create your voting profile.

Step 3: Share with your friends, family and community and ask them to vote for you every day until May 6. This is your opportunity to get creative – how will you share your wishlist, and how will you involve your community to vote for you??

Any educator is eligible to win – teachers, homeschoolers, and school administrators. Ready to get started?

How to Find the Best Auto Insurance Quote with a Spotty Record

car accident cartoon

If you’ve recently been in a situation that calls your driving record into question – from a car

crash to a speeding ticket, or even something as severe as a DUI – then aside from the financial

and social implications, another serious burden you will have to bear is an increased insurance

premium. Insurance policies are built and priced based on a wide range of factors. Although

each company approaches pricing from a different angle, keep in mind some of these six basic

insurance-rating features.

 

Age: Drivers in their teens and early twenties pay the highest rates, due to increased

road aggression and a lack of experience.

Gender: Although CBS points out that women may experience road rage more

frequently than men, The Guardian asserts that women do much less damage when

behind the wheel – and thus pay less in insurance premiums than their male

counterparts.

Location: Some states call for higher premiums than others – New Jersey is one of the

most expensive states to insure your vehicle.

Car Model: New and foreign cars cost more in the insurance business, because their

repairs are harder to finance.

Car Usage: If you only drive on the weekends, then your insurance rates will go down –

and the opposite is true if you use your car on a daily basis.

Driving Record: Finally, your driving record can help a company determine what kind of

risk you are on the road – and the riskier it is to cover you for damages, the more an

insurance provider will bill you to stay financially liable.

 

The spottier your driving record, the higher your insurance rates – that’s the rule. However,

while you might not be able to get the same rates as someone with a spotless driving record,

you do have a plethora of options to try and pay as little as possible.

There are many factors to consider with your driving record – aside from DUIs and speeding

tickets, not having prior insurance while driving also nets you higher rates. Accidents also cause

rates to go up – but only if they are severe. If a scratch, bump or minor fender-bender is the

issue at hand, then your insurance cost won’t see a major hike, that is, if you even want to put a

claim in.

Contest Your Record

Just because you get a ticket for speeding or drunk driving doesn’t mean you were actually

speeding, or driving under the influence. If you were unfairly charged with a ticket, an attorney

can help you contest your ticket.

There are several ways to combat a ticket, depending on the situation. Being charged with a

ticket outside of a checkpoint is one, as is being given a ticket without sufficient evidence, or

due to misleading evidence. Breathalyzers can be fooled by a strong mouth rinse, for example,

and cognition tests can be failed due to medical anomalies rather than alcohol.

In the world of rate hike prevention, getting a ticket for something like a broken tail light can

also quickly be fixed. And it really should be. If you get your car back in shape immediately after

being issued a ticket, then chances are that you could avoid the associated rate hike and let the

incident fly under your insurance company’s notice.

Shop Around

The most important part to getting a good insurance quote – even with a spotty record – is in

shopping around. Compare rates, and compare hikes – some insurance rates barely rise after a

minor accident, while others might punish you by as much as a 30 percent for a single speeding

ticket. Using comparison sites like CoverHound allow you to explore the best car insurance

quotes so you can determine what the best plan for you is. Keep on the lookout for a provider

with attractive discount options, fair rates and customer loyalty programs – and then negotiate,

working with them to build the kind of policy that works best for everyone involved.

Make Efforts to Lower Your Risk Factor

A great and simple way to get yourself labeled as less of a risk is by taking a driving course. A

cheap and quick course can go a long way in showing an insurance company that you’re serious

about improving your driving skills.

Consider All Possible Discounts

Contact your insurance provider and go over all the different discounts you may be eligible for.

If you’re a student, having great grades can in some cases lead to lower rates – alternatively, if

you’re a government worker or in the military, most insurance providers have special discounts

for you as well.
