Chicago Natural Resource Conference

For those interested, the Chicago Natural Resource/Technology Conference will take place April 29, 2006, Saturday from 7am to 6pm. The event is held at Rolling Meadows Holiday Inn. Address and phone: 3405 Algonquin Road Arlington Heights, IL. (847) 259-5000.

There is no charge for admission, but you might contact organizers as space is limited. Here is the info contact that appears on my admission postcard: (317) 502-5828 richradez@yahoo.com

Keynote speaker is Joseph Granville, well known technical analyst and editor of "The Granville Market Letter". Other noted metals and resource analysts/newsletter writers will speak, along with representatives from participating resource/mining companies. At past conferences I had the pleasure of hearing commentary from the likes of Bill Powers, Jim Rogers, Clyde Harrison and David Morgan up close.

From what I gather, the Chicago conference seems to be one of the smaller resource events, at least judging by attendance numbers for similar conferences. I don't know if that's due to the location they've selected (not a major convention spot) or the promotion, but it tends to be a fairly tight knit affair. In any case, I'm glad to be able to hear and meet the guests in a smaller setting.

The change will increase Nasdaq's borrowing costs should it wish to pursue aquisition targets. For an earlier look at the exchange consolidation trend that brought about Nasdaq's push for a stake in the LSE, please see "Exchange fever" .

Clean Money - John Rubino: Book review

Clean Money by John Rubino 274 pages. Hoboken, New Jersey John Wiley & Sons. 2009. 1st Edition. The bouyant stock market environment of the past several years is gone, and the financial wreckage of 2008 is still sharp in our minds as a new year starts to unfold. Given the recent across-the-board-declines in global stock markets (and most asset classes) that have left many investors shell-shocked, you might wonder if there is any good reason to consider the merits of a hot new investment theme, such as clean energy. However, we shouldn't be too hasty to write off all future stock investments. After all, the market declines of 2008 may continue into 2009, but they may also leave interesting investment opportunities in their wake. Which brings us to the subject of this review. John Rubino, author and editor of GreenStockInvesting.com , recently released a new book on renewable energy and clean-tech investing entitled, Clean Money: Picking Winners in the Green Tech Boom . In Clean ...
