			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A coin that has been used in the medieval time and that was in circulation for only seven months will be sold in an auction in England. The coin is an Edward III double florin and it is expected to fetch up to 150.000 pounds. </p>
<p>The rare gold coin dates back in the mid-14th century. One side of the coin has a full length portrait of Edward the III sitting on a throne and holding a sword and scepter. And on each of his shoulders there are two crowned leopard&#8217;s heads decorated with fleur de lis. On the other side there is a floriated cross with small leopards in the angle. </p>
<p>The medieval coin was found in the South of England by a metal-detector enthusiast. The auction house representatives have not disclosed the place where the coin was discovered. This is an attempt to discourage unwanted visitors. Only two other coins of this kind have been found so far. Both of them were discovered in the River Tyne back in 1957. The two coins were place ever since in the British Museum. </p>
<p>An auction house representative has said that the coin found now doesn&#8217;t look like the ones resting in the Museum. He declared that the rare coin is exquisite and unique. The value is estimated to be somewhere between 100.000 and 150.000 pounds. </p>
<p>The coin or the double florin, had been authorized in December 1343 and had a value of six shillings. After only seven months, the coin was replaced. The reason why it was so unsuccessful is because of its high production cost and strange denomination. The Edward III coin was the first large gold coin minted in England. It came after many centuries of silver ones.  </p>
<p>Today, investing in gold coins can be a good way of diversifying our portfolio. Economists advise us to invest in the precious metal so this can be a good way of doing this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the housing market and the economic status of the country in the condition it is presently, Detroit investment property represents a great opportunity to create a good income from real estate. This type of investment at present starts with a low initial investment and can be parlayed into a sizable portfolio of properties. Real estate investment requires some effort to learn, but can give you excellent returns on your money.</p>
<p>There are several things that you must keep in mind in order to profit from this type of investment. These might be buying the right type of property, knowing what the market rates are, finding good renters or buyers and managing the day to day operation of your business. You should do your homework and learn all you can about the industry before risking your funds.</p>
<p>The housing market today in this country is depressed. This makes for many investment opportunities. Some of the factors that are holding the market prices down include rising foreclosures, tax deed sales and increased number of sellers attempting to get rid of property that they can&#8217;t afford.</p>
<p>In some instances, homes are selling for ridiculously low prices, but there can be a boon to a property investor. Housing auctions held by banks or at sheriff&#8217;s sales occur frequently both at local locations and as online auctions. You can purchase commercial buildings as well as residential and special use buildings at auction. You just need to do your research to find out as much as possible about the property and the type of deed that is being conveyed upon sale.</p>
<p>You can engage the services of a property management company if you don&#8217;t want to do the detail work of overseeing the property. The management company can take care of routine maintenance and emergency plumber calls as well. Investors who do not live in the area should make use of a local management company.</p>
<p>It is important to select good renters for your property. This is another task that can be done by a management company. The management group will do the screening and can even do the showing of the property if you prefer. They collect rents and deposit amounts on your behalf. The company can see to it that the needed maintenance and repair work is accomplished for your properties.</p>
<p>Decide on your investment goals, so you will know what type of Detroit investment property is best suited to reaching the goals. You will need to know how property management fits into your overall income tax picture. You can buy property cheap, fix it up and resell it or rent it. You can get revenue from the sale or from the rental income.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gold is a very rare metal and recent studies show that most of it has been already minted. So the one might ask &#8220;What is the future of gold?&#8221;.</p>
<p>What we all have to take into consideration is the fact that most of the gold that has been minted up to this day is in the possession of Central Banks and private investors. Some research shows that the bars owned by individuals account for 236 tons of gold. Most of the yellow metal that has been minted up to this date is still being used in proportion of 85%. What this means is that in our jewelry there might be gold that has been used by the Incas or even by an Aztec King. </p>
<p>Scientists have started to look for gold in the sky after they have discovered that there is not so much precious metal left on Earth. In 1998, a NEAR spacecraft passed close by to the asteroid Eros and unveiled some important data. The potato &#8211; shaped rock contains about 3 % metal. Taking into consideration the size of the rock, NASA researchers have estimated that it must contain about 20 billion tons of gold and similar amounts of aluminum and palladium.</p>
<p>Prospectors have also started to create new and improved methods of detecting gold. With the help of these methods the chances of finding gold that has been overlooked in the past have greatly increased. Some gold deposits have already been discovered and the mining process has begun. </p>
<p>Mining companies will have to be more careful and more attentive with the environment than they were in the past. 250 tons of rock has to be removed when extracting a single ounce of gold.  A big problem is also represented by the cyanide solution used for the extraction and refining procedures. But the companies that are using these questionable procedures will be soon alienated by jewelers.</p>
<p>This sort of problem will surely not stop the demand for gold. But perhaps it will make us think about our life, our heritage and our history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday, April27, Senator Levin, who is the chairman of the Senate Sub-committee investigating Goldman Sach&#8217;s involvement in collateralized debt obligations (CDO&#8217;s), questioned several Goldman Sachs executives on their management of Timberwolf I. Timberwolf I was a $1 billion CDO that collapsed just 5 months after its inception. Carl Levin determined that Goldman Sachs made roughly $3.7 billion from shorting CDOs in 2007, of which Timberwolf I was one. This came during a time when their investors lost millions in investments from buying these CDO&#8217;s that Goldman created.</p>
<p>Thomas Montag, the previous head of sales and trading at Goldman Sachs, called Timberwolf I &#8220;one shitty deal. He actually wrote this in an internal e-mail released by Senate lawmakers and a key point made clear in the hearings held on Tuesday. Was Thomas Montag removed from his post for his dealings in this matter? Of course not, in fact, he was rewarded. Bank of America hired Montag to be the president of global banking and markets. See, he&#8217;s a good guy. Matthew Bieber, another Goldman executive questioned by the Senate subcommittee, and Goldman&#8217;s trader responsible for controlling the deal, described the day that Timberwolf was released as &#8220;a day that will live in infamy&#8221;. Wasn&#8217;t this the same language used by President Roosevelt after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor?</p>
<p>Timberwolf I was a security that Goldman Sachs sold to its clients when Goldman decided to reduce its mortgage holdings. Bear Stearns, a brokerage that is now liquidated, was part of the buyers of Timberwolf I. They purchased roughly $300 million, and within five months of the CDO&#8217;s issuance, Timberwolf I lost 80% of its value. Ultimately, the Bear Stearns hedge funds collapsed.</p>
<p>Wikipedia refers to a &#8220;wolf&#8221; as &#8220;is the largest wild member of the Canidae family. It is an ice age survivor originating during the Late Pleistocene around 300,000 years ago. DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies reaffirm that the wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog. Gray wolves are typically apex predators in the ecosystems they occupy.&#8221; The operative word is &#8220;predators&#8221;. What is the definition of predator? Any organism that exists by preying upon other organisms. Timberwolf made Goldman Sachs a predator.</p>
<p>Timberwolf was more than a bad deal for its buyers. But listening to Goldman exec&#8217;s, all they said was that they made some &#8220;bad business decisions&#8221;. And while they take &#8220;responsibility&#8221; for their actions, they do not see any evidence of wrongdoing. If Goldman actually withheld information from Bear Stearns about the viability of Timberwolf, this is serious wrongdoing as regards futures trading.</p>
<p>Another victim of Timberwolf I, Basis Yield Alpha Fund, a hedge fund that was savaged by Goldman&#8217;s Timberwolf I after they bought $100m right before Timberwolf folded. Needless to say, Basis Yield Alpha Fund is very interested in the Goldman hearings and watching with bated breath.</p>
<p>The best set of questions posed to Goldman Sachs executives at the hearing were asked by Senator Susan Collins. She asked all the executives, whether Goldman Sachs has a &#8220;duty&#8221; to act in the best interests of their clients. The answers from the executives were amazing. Dan Sparks paused and said, &#8220;I believe we have a duty to do well for our clients.&#8221; I believe is what he said. Fabrice Tourre, executive director in structured products, said &#8220;I do not believe we act as an investment adviser to our clients,&#8221; Fabrice Tourre doesn&#8217;t believe that at all. Just what do these executives think an investment banker is, just a Timberwolf predator who preys on its clients?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past, people used to determine time by observing the location of the sun in the sky. At 12 o&#8217; clock the sun was directly above their heads and this is how they knew what time it was. The sundial was what followed in the course of history of the watch. This method though was slightly subject to one&#8217;s judgment. The sundial can be represented as a circle on the ground that has a stick in the middle. When the sun rotates, one can tell what time it is. This was more accurate than the first means of determining what time it was.</p>
<p>Another means of establishing the time was the sundial. This method though was slightly subject to one&#8217;s judgment. The sundial can be represented as a circle on the ground that has a stick in the middle. When the sun rotates, one can tell what time it is. This was more accurate than the first means of determining what time it was.</p>
<p>In the 14th century a major development took place, the mechanical clock. This first clock was made out of a series of wheels, gears and levers that were powered by weight and a pendulum and later on a wound-up string. The gongs and chimes followed. The clocks became smaller and were closed and sealed in a case in the 18th century. A big part of the developments in the watch making industry took place until the middle of the 20th  century and they were mainly focused on making the moving part be as accurate as possible. One can say that the biggest development as far as clock are concerned, was in the metal technology that dealt with the miniaturization, the lubrication of the small parts and the use of the natural gemstones and later on, the artificial gemstones.The remaining problem that the watch-makers had to fix was the interior mechanism that wore down becoming inaccurate and eventually breaking down. </p>
<p>After the microchip was invented (1970s -1980s) a new type of watch was created. The quartz technology was combined with the microchip technology and so the wristwatches that had this mechanism became standard. Due to the non-mechanical device, the internal parts didn&#8217;t wear out anymore. </p>
<p>The watch has become a symbol for culture, wealth and modern trends. It is only up to the person that wears it to determine what kind of statement he/she wants to make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The two main areas of involvement in the world of investing are to either choose to be the owner of the investment or you can choose to be the lender.</p>
<p>For the purpose of this article we will be focusing on what it means to be involved with a lending investment.</p>
<p>People involved in the investment world use different jargon and buzzwords that seem like a totally different language to most people. This makes the industry seem even more confusing than it already is and also as if this is a very tough industry to get into.</p>
<p>When the insiders do this it is usually for the purpose of justifying their high rates and commissions they charge and the very large fees as well. Don&#8217;t be taken advantage of by this ploy. If you break the world of investments down to its simplest parts it can be more than understandable to you.</p>
<p>Lending investments are a popular choice for people that are trying to break into the investing world. All that lending investing entails is lending your money to a bank, a company or the government. It is as simple as that.</p>
<p>In return for the use of your money the institution that you lend to will make you a specific promise. This promise will be that by a certain date you will receive your investment back in full and that in addition to that you will be given a bonus in the form of a predetermined interest rate that covers the duration of the loan.</p>
<p>The ideal outcome is obviously the outcome that you were promised. You want to be able to get your entire investment back and the cost of the interest rate as well. This unfortunately doesn&#8217;t always happen. There have been many case studies proving this fact.</p>
<p>These people were not granted the outcome that they were promised. They either didn&#8217;t get back the full investment amount of didn&#8217;t get the promised interest rate.</p>
<p>Given the situation of the economy it is very important to make sure the company you choose is solid. Even still there are no guarantees for success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Removing the gold from the ground is just the first step in gold extraction. The mining companies put the precious metal though complex processes in order to isolate the valuable parts. After the gold rocks are extracted from the ground, they are put in big machines called crushers. The rocks are transformed into material of road gravel consistency and is further put in a rotating drum until it becomes a fine slurry or a powder.</p>
<p>After this first procedure, the powder is mixed with water until it becomes pulp. This pulp is run through a series of leaching tanks. This is the chemical process and this is when the gold is dissolved. After a while the workers add small grains of carbon in the pulp. The glittering metal that was dissolved adheres to the carbon. After the process is ended, the carbon is put in a hot caustic solution that separates the gold from the carbon.</p>
<p>The next step is the electro-winning process. The process removes the chemicals from the precious metal. Smelting is the final procedure that the precious metal is submitted to. The yellow metal is put in a furnace at about 2.100 degrees F (1.149 C).</p>
<p>After it becomes liquid, it is taken out of the furnace and poured into solid bars called dore bars. Because the bars are low-quality they have to be submitted to other procedures this is why they are sent to refineries all over the world for.</p>
<p>Gold has become a very sought after precious metal in our days. Specialists advise those that have some savings put aside to purchase the yellow metal. The glittering metal is a safe investment and it is also profitable. It cannot lose value as paper currencies and it is a safe haven for the ones that own it. It has become very easy to invest in the gold, especially in our days when the is considered to be such a good acquisition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alaska is the place where a gold and cooper discovery has managed to perturb the live of the citizens. Dillingham is situated on Bristol Bay and has never been in such a spotlight ever before. The local people who are used to fishing are seeing the rivers threatened by mining companies who are looking to extract the gold and cooper found in the area. </p>
<p>The rivers that pass near this town represent one of the world&#8217;s last great runs of Pacific salmon but the recent discovery of gold and cooper represents a great thereat to them. Neither the locals nor the mining companies know the exact amount and value of the gold and cooper found. And there are some citizens that are not at all interested in finding out because they fear that this will only cause more problems. Alaskans are now faced with a serious dilemma as they don&#8217;t know which of the natural resources to exploit. </p>
<p>The mining companies claim that by starting the extraction procedure they will be able to offer jobs for those that are unemployed and they could invest part of the money in the rural area. On the other hand, the fisherman and the ecologists are concerned that by doing just that, various chemicals will be released in the rivers and thus affecting the salmon. The war between cooper, gold, clean water and fish can be regarded as a war between economy and culture.</p>
<p>The fight is expanding and people are asked to go to vote on the initiative intended to increase protection for the streams where the salmon lives. There will be many transformations that will take place once the mining begins: large areas for holding toxic mine waste will be required, as well as facilities for processing ore, pumps to remove water from the ground and the construction of an 80-mile road.</p>
<p>The mining company says that efforts will be made in order to keep things as ecological as possible in order not disturb the lives of the salmon. The workers that are doing the exploratory drilling have been located in the area and have already started testing the soil.  </p>
<p>The environment is an important asset that we have to protect. In order to do the same thing with our savings we can invest in the gold that is already on the market.</p>
