What are the advantages disadvantages of investing in gold?

The primary advantage of owning gold is that there is no counter party risk to the value of your investment. Gold has been a store of value since ancient times and this is not likely to change. By contrast, an investor in bonds or stocks could lose their entire investment if a company goes bankrupt. Despite the fact that gold can fluctuate in value, it is almost impossible to imagine a scenario when gold would have no value. The disadvantages of gold is that it is a sterile investment in terms of producing income. An investor holding physical gold will only see a gain in value if the price of gold increases. Many investors who purchase gold believe that it is a safe alternative to paper currency backed investments since over time many currencies have failed or the value of the currency has declined dramatically due to inflation. For a more detailed explanation, please see my article on "How To Invest In Gold" (http://investing.answers.com/types-of-investments/how-to-invest-in-gold).


What are the different shapes of venetian masks?

There are many shapes, sizes, styles, and meanings, here are some sites to explain: * http://www.masksvenetian.com/page/masks Venetian masks can be made in leather or with the original papier-mâché technique. The original masks were rather simple in design and decoration. They often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate. Most masks sold in the tourist shops in Venice have nothing to do with the original Venetian masks. (This site explains nicely about shapes) * http://espritlibre.multiply.com/photos/album/66
