I had to look fungible up. In my parlance, you say a bit fungible When the blonde walks by, "say. man, she looks a bit fungible. What you really mean is "hey that babe is "way fungible". So it's the same thing. It is surprising in this commodity oriented commercial world, that you cannot make babes fungible in this sense like they do time on condominiums, and hours of labour etc... Babes of course have their own system whereby they ransom favours to the money maven male by testing his adaptibility to the fungibility of their personal largesse. Cute? Hell, I am absolutely beautiful. Thousands of females pay me not to walk down their streets because they cannot stand the heartbreak. They throw themselves at me so frequently that I employ a secretary to take names and addresses as I pass by, as I get writer's cramp on an average walk-about. At a George Clooney autograph signing I attended recently, the women were asking me "George who"? I wouldn't say cute, no. Lease rates of gold are set so the rumour goes to make the loaning and subsequent sale of gold attractive in order to set the price of gold artificially low. That is the rumour. If a lease rate is low it attracts people to borrow gold, sell it, and buy gold forward at a higher price than today's. The delivery of this gold at a higher price to cover the sale, requires that the gold buyer/seller actually use an instrument or option put to cover his differential. Of course the buyer/seller who leased the gold can sell his gold forward too, offsetting the higher price he paid. But still he is out the interest if he breaks even. So the interest being low allows less of a coverage by option instruments. If gold is falling in price, it allows the seller/buyer to short gold, or "put" it, and thus win in the shorting game to offset his forward buy. Low lease rates of gold allow the middleman to borrow gold, sell it and buy T-Bills to pay the interest and make money. This has the tendency to be good money for the bank, and support currencies. If lease rates are high, this cylce is interrupted and gold sales forward will decline. If gold sales forward are declining the banks may drop lease rates to get money from their normally non money-earning gold deposits. It is a double-edged sword, as the Swiss know. More paper fuels inflation and eventually you break even earning interest selling gold. EC<:-}

Found a new(new to me at least) product contain gold - gold that gets expended - used up! No, I post this not as advertisement & I no relationship to the company. Benefits of 24-K Gold Gold is the most precious metal known and has been pursued for its purity and longevity. Gold has been used in many different ways. One of the most exciting uses of 24-K Gold has been adding it to cosmetics. For centuries, especially in the Orient, gold has been used to help with arthritis and tendonitis. Gold has also been used in the field of dentistry for fillings and gold caps. Because it is a non-toxic, gold can be used internally and externally. We also find it interesting to learn when the astronaut’s uniforms were invented they used gold in the face masks. The gold was added, because it acts as a reflective shield, to protect the skin from the UVB rays from the sun. This helps to retard the aging process and protect the skin from damage due to environmental exposure. There are many more areas where gold has been used, but we want to concentrate on the areas where the use of gold in cosmetics apply. According to the following is where continued study and research is being conducted. Upon facial application, 24-K gold is absorbed into the skins surface and may help to stimulate the body's circulation as it energizes the natural electrical current. This stimulation could help to activate the blood circulation which supplies enzymes and nutrition to help restore and rebuild skin cells. Exhausted, stale, thick skin is one of the reasons for wrinkles and skin discolorations. The 24-K gold may help to naturally peel off the outer worn skin layers. The gold may help to push out pollutants in each pore that cause the skin to look tired, aged and wrinkled. This peeling effect is generally unnoticed to the naked eye, however, resounding effects will generally be noticed in approximately one to four weeks. (Results may very per individual.) When 24-K gold is applied externally to the skin it may help to reflect the UVB rays of the sun. This could help to reduce the harmful effects from the environment. The use of 24-K Gold, combined with Aloe vera, could be a winning combination toward a more youthful and beautiful skin. *More studies are currently being conducted.
