Where could you find a perfect prescription eyeglasses for JUST $15?
The only place is ONLINE.
And what if they come also with : Anti-Reflective coating, UV protection coating, Anti-Scratch Hard Coating, Colorful , Stylish Eyeglasses Hard Case, Quality glasses Cleaning Cloth, Nice and professional customer service, Free international shipping, Free lens customizing of rimless eyeglasses, Beautiful used Hong Kong stamps?
I know it is hard to believe, but ALL comes for just $15.
I am sure once tried, you will be a customer forever.
And that is precisely why they come so cheap.
Because the manufacturer wants to get as many customers as possible.
And this is the way it usually works.
Low pricing, good quality, free shipping.
All this makes a satisfied customer and a satisfied customer is the secret of success.
How many companies still do not understand how to grow and upgrade their turnover?
I always say: if you want to make a good business think how you would like it to be on the customer’s side.
Of course you like good quality products and if they are also cheap the trick is done.
To all add a perfect customer service, a good website where you can shop 24 hours a day, 30 days a month and 12 months a year, without having to dress up, drive your car, park it, and go to the shop.
You just sit in front of your computer, choose the style you like, all the features you need and with a click of the mouse the deal is done. (of course you also need to pay...)
In a few days (depending where you live) you have a brand new eye style and a brand new eyesight (which is important too...)
I know it is stupid, but, even if you already have a good pair of glasses, $15 dollars are a perfect excuse to change the look...remember, a pair of becoming glasses can make a great difference!

Why the dollar rises?
This currency should be plummeting like a stone, yet instead it rises!
The main reason is the "race to the bottom" in currencies, in which every nation/trading bloc is trying to devalue their currency faster than their rivals in order to support their exports.
Americans buy other countries´ goods to support their export/surplus model (mainly China), and they accept a dollar intrinsically worth less than the goods sold, and everyone walks away happy.
China is going to transition to a domestic economy, but that looks very far away.
This is what has created/supported the actual situation.
But it won’t last forever.
You cannot go on buying on credit, or you can do it as long as the people who produce can go on hoping in a "better future".
But when it is clear that no one is going to pay back, at least not in a near future, also the Bank of China is not wishful thinking anymore.

Just lift up, store your things then push back
What is the secret to have a good sleep and nice dreams?
Besides being satisfied with oneself, is also having the right environment.
At least that is essential for me.
I like a nice and cozy bedroom, a comfortable bed and may be a good electric blaket to warm my always cold feet...
Well, that should be the job of a good husband, but an electric blanket is something that always helps...
I am a little bit peculiar and the style of the bed, the matching cover and curtains gives me a certain satisfaction and really helps me to relax.
I personally like beds old looking, but modern.
Usually the old ones aren’t big and comfortable enough.
The problem with a big bed is that it usually doesn’t fit well with the small size of today’s bedrooms.
It doesn’t leave enough space for big wardrobes where to store (and hide) all the stuff we like to accumulate day by day.
I do not know about others, but, in spite of my best propositions, I always end up having more than I can store.
And I hate to throw away anything...
But intelligent furniture comes at our rescue.
Something like storage beds, where you have a lot of space to sleep (and have wonderful dreams) and still have a lot of space for ALL you buy.
"Most beds feature up to four times the storage of a normal divan with the ottoman storage system. Amazing ease of use, just lift up, store your things then push back down again. "
That is what I love best: just lift up, store your things then push back down again: and voila´: Everything in order, everything looks clean and in its place...the dream begins even before sleeping...

A "Safe Haven"
Is there a safe haven? Somewhere where to transfer our surplus (for the lucky ones who have a surplus) or for the ones who Would like to make a surplus for rainy days?
“There is no surer source of commercial distress, than the creation and extension of fictitious capital; and of an appearance of prosperous trade without the reality, which is the inevitable consequence of a paper currency.”
"By reducing interest rates far below zero in real terms, by doubling the monetary base and by blowing up the Fed’s balance sheet to three times its normal size, the capital is even more fictitious – and the United States will shortly reap the appropriate reward in an uncontrollable upsurge in inflation."
"The effects of combined monetary and fiscal profligacy will be manifest in the bond market. If inflation is rising towards double digits and government financing needs are $1.5 trillion annually, it seems impossible to imagine that investors will be willing to accept less than perhaps an 8% yield on U.S. "
Even the People’s Bank of China will cease to regard as a safe haven an investment that loses half of its principal in less than 2 years.
The safe haven is certainly not Spain or Italy.
Russia looked attractive for a few years, but can hardly now be regarded as a haven of any kind. Brazil is a lot safer than it used to be, but you don’t get to be a safe haven with a BBB credit rating. Australia lost its superior management a year ago and now appears to be in the usual Anglosphere trouble.
Germany. Fiscally very sound – budget deficit of only 2% of GDP in 2009, even in a deep recession and after a modest stimulus plan.
Germany’s total public debt is $2.2 trillion, so the market is more or less big enough to absorb a substantial percentage of even the largest central bank’s investment. Finally, the country did not have a housing boom in the 2000s; house prices recently were lower than a decade ago.
Germany after 2000 solved its economic problems, whereas the United States went on a spending spree.
The safe haven is about to move, and American taxpayers and savers will pay the price of that move in higher borrowing costs and lower equity prices for decades to come.
