Investing in Natural Gas: It's Time

Waiting for the Next Fed Apology

Taking the macro view, and understanding this may sound conspiracy-theorist, don't forget at the time all this was happening we were at war and spending money we didn't have. But is it not possible the administration at the time could have influenced the Fed to keep quiet?

China Medical on Road to Recovery

Your story on CMED is one I can vouch for. I got interested in the company in early 2006, researched diligently, and was wowed by the possibilities. However, my patience ran out on the company.
