Here’s an interesting piece of news; Nevada Copper Corp has recently decided to invest in 46 million common shares in Mercator Minerals Ltd. On top of the shares they already have that comprise 37.4% of the company, this means they now officially hold 43.1% of Mercator Minerals Ltd. And yet if you look at Mercator Minerals Ltd stock, they’ve hit a record low. They’ve more than halved in value from less than a year ago, and are a fifth of what they were in early 2011. This in turn is only a third of the point they were in in 2008, meaning their shares are now worth about one fifteenth of what they were at the companies height.…

 If you are anything like me, you live on your phone.  I don’t know how I got through life before smartphones.  OK, I might be a bit overboard with that statement, but I do love having a smart phone.  There are countless things that you can do with your smart phone.  On a daily basis, I use it for:

• Mapping a route (I’m not the most directionally inclined person)
• The basics (phone calls, texting, emails)
• Playing games

If I forget my phone at home (it has been over 2 years since I did this last), I am lost. …

The Risks and Fees

If your mail is anything like mine, you receive about 2 credit card offers daily. …

What if you went to the bank to withdraw funds, and the money was gone and the account was closed? First thoughts, someone hacked my debit card.  Second, did somebody hack into my account online? Third, did somebody steal my identity? You start to panic.  You sit down with a banker who starts researching what happened.  He says, ” John, the other owner on the account, closed the account yesterday.”  What!? How could he close the account without me? Isnt that illegal? The answer is NO.

I have helped quite a few people in this situation.  They had no clue that the person that they put on their account had this power.…
