By: Ned_W_Schmidt
While still having hopes for the Icelandic volcano, we must accept for now the disappointing reality that a great calamity will not be generated by this hot little mountain.

By: DailyWealth
Chris Weber writes: In all the years I've recommended owning precious metals, I've preferred people buy and store actual gold, silver, or platinum.
