According to a poll released Sept. 23 by Healthcare Georgia Foundation, only 39% of Georgians approve of the law, whereas 42% do not.

[Although, no matter what the majority wants, enrollment in health insurance exchanges is slated to begin in just a few days on Oct. 1.]

by

In a week in which the gold price is trading in the $1,335-per-ounce range, all eyes in the gold industry are focused on Denver.

That is the site of the annual Denver Gold Forum, the most prestigious event centered around the world's largest gold mining companies. The event was held from Sept. 22-25 this year.

What sets this event apart from other events is the participation of nearly all the CEOs of the large gold mining firms along with major gold analysts and institutional investors.

Despite the drop in gold prices so far this year, attendance at the Forum usually falls when gold prices are down, but organizers expected the number of attendees to match or exceed last year's. This indicates that interest in the sector is still quite high.

You can't make money from a nationwide statistic. Not in real estate…

Cleveland, for example, may have seen a 3.4% increase from July 2012 to July 2013. But that's nothing compared to Los Angeles, where prices jumped 20.8%. Or San Francisco, which posted a 24% year-over-year increase.

Las Vegas prices jumped even higher, up more than 27%.

And then there's New York, where you can make a killing on some prime Manhattan real estate right now…

There's a hassle-free way to do it, too. So you'll never have to worry about tenants, taxes, insurance, maintenance…

You won't need a million-dollar down payment, either.

by

Back in the times of the California gold rush, people didn't need to work out how to invest in the bonanza. They simply grabbed some basic mining gear and headed up into the hills.
