Investors have observed a rally of the United States dollar over the last few weeks. This is more a result of what is happening to other major world currencies, than what is occurring in the United States. The analogy one can be put forward is that the American dollar (USD) is the cleanest shirt, among the soiled shirts in the dirty clothes closet. That is among the poor options available, the dollar remains the best choice among investors. Quantitative easing on a mass […]
If an investor is looking for a reasonable price for real estate in Europe one should consider Croatia. The country is one of the most beautiful countries on the continent. Croatia has everything a potential home buyer could want. There are unspoiled beaches, clear blue seas and lakes, fishing villages and medieval walled cities. There are ruins from every main period of history from the Roman period to the present day. There is an entire mostly pristine lake district, with picturesque mountain […]

An independent Scotland will only be viable if investors deem the country worthy of further capital. The date of the referendum is only days away. At the moment the polls show a very close vote between those in favor and those opposed.

The referendum is mostly being decided on identity and power. More emphasis should be placed on the calculation […]
A well considered investment in the wind power industry can be made in Sweden at this time. The present boom in this commercial enterprise is worth at least 6 billion USD (United States Dollar). The bonanza began when the nations of Norway and Sweden signed an accord in 2012, that they would share the renewable energy being generated in wind. As western Europe’s biggest natural gas and oil producer Norway has decided to make a major investment in wind power. The country plans […]
International investors need to consider what the announcement last week that the European Central Bank (ECB) was going to start quantitative easing (QE) will mean. The Europeans on the continent are going to join the most notable nations of Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States in the policy of creating more money. By purchasing asset backed securities and Euro-denominated bonds on a massive scale the ECB is hoping for several things to occur. The announcement came on 4th of September […]

The applications will become endless as government organizations, corporations and individuals will find increasing uses for these devices.

The expenditures in the manufacture of drones are now dropping to the point where a revolution in the industry is about to take […]
Investors in uranium need to know that the largest mine for this commodity in the world, is located in western Canada.

The lack of a new contract will lead to a shutdown in production at the site. This is important because the mine located in northern Saskatchewan possesses the highest grade uranium deposit known to exist. In addition, […]
