Currently nearly everyone is a somewhat strapped for cash and this has not been made any easy with the depreciating value of former very viable investment options such as real estate. Unique though is the fact that precious metals and stones have continued gaining value despite harsh economic times. Silver, gold, diamonds etc have had their value appreciating probably because their supply is continuously falling. Gold and diamonds...more

How Junior Resource Stocks Have Performed Many junior resource stocks are running at or near 52-week highs, and the sector boasts some spectacular individual performances. Returns for producing or near-production stocks for the twelve months to the end of August are running at around 50%, and have shown good results since the start of this year.Our portfolio, which is essentially in this sector, has shown very positive results for the entire year. Summer saw a slight weakening, but September has roared ahead. Compare this with the performance of investment in blue chip, or tech stocks, or indexes. None of those are performing well. There are sectors that have maintained their value, but those sectors are range bound.How distressing it is to have to say that something ‘has maintained its value'. We don't invest to break even, or to not lose too much. The purpose of investing is to increase your wealth. The only way to have done that this year is to be in junior resource stocks.

Retirement is often a time when one is not sure of how to handle the future. Sure, that's the deal with life at every bend -- and that is the beauty of it -- but there is much to ponder when one is about to retire. First of all, retirement can be planned or unplanned. For example, if you work for a company which separates employees after a certain age and makes it known in its personnel policy, then you would forced to follow it. There may be other ways and means of earning an income, but work, as it always was, would stop. Finding a second career is an ancillary subject. If you are from that category of people who plan and foster a goal to retire by a certain age, then you will have probably planned better than your peers as to how you are going to maintain a fixed income – either through past investments or by some other means – and what you are going to do with your spare time. Sure, as Steve Martin said, you can do ANYTHING you want. But it would not hurt to have a few ideas as to where the bacon is going to come from and who would drive you to the hospital if you happen to need it. This is where the retirement coach comes in. The retirement...more
