Because you’ve already heard of BHP Billiton, here’s a compendium of 12 of the more important gold producers in Australia right now in 2012.

If you want to be poised for the next wave of genuine global growth (i.e., growth based on purchase orders, housing starts and other construction, etc.), you really need to be invested in resources.

… Or at least to wait a good six months before taking any position.

Facebook’s initial public offering is set for this Thursday. Demand and hype for the Facebook IPO are purportedly the largest in history, especially for an internet company – topping more than 10 times Google’s IPO in 2004 (imagine that – Google’s IPO was just 8 years ago). Yet most investors won’t be [...]
