www.youtube.com The Commoodity Code Bonus: …thousands of dollars in bonuses below the article. The Commodity Code Review: You know gold, silver, and oil are three of the most important pillars of wealth our current economy stands on. Gold is a precious metal, silver is an essential component in almost every electronic device, and oil is an important source of energy. If you look at the history of those commodities, you see how they influenced men and how entire wars have been fought to obtain them in the past. And unfortunately also in the present. True, but how to profit from these materials as an individual? How to obtain wealth as an average person? You might think that the good old mining days are over but is there still a chance to obtain wealth by harnessing those commodities. Let’s do a simple experiment. Imagine we went back five years ago. I’ve got a huge bundle of money in dollars and euros. Looks great, does it not? What will we do with it? Maybe buy a car, a yacht or real estate? Or just put it in a box? No. Let’s divide them into two equal parts. I decided to invest my part into gold. Meanwhile, Ron, placed his money into the bank’s savings account. OK. Let’s see what happens to our money in five years. Five years pass. Let’s check out what we got. As you can see, the price of gold grew from 400 US dollars per ounce to an astonishing 1500 us. That means my small gold bar grew in price significantly into a huge and expensive gold bar. Let’s check out what …

Cost Cuts and Declining Revenues Signal Lack of Future Economic Growth, According to Investment Contrarians Expert
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 10, 2012
In a recent Investment Contrarians article, financial expert George Leong notes that revenues going forward, especially organic growth rates, will be extremely important for a healthy economy. Leong states that revenues need to grow to drive earnings; but businesses are cutting costs to drive earnings instead, signaling a lack of economic growth for the near future.
“Based on the current estimates, earnings for the S&P 500 are estimated to fall 2.6% in the third quarter, which would end the 11 straight months of earnings growth,” states Leong, citing FactSet (http://www.FactSet.com). “So far for the third quarter, 82 S&P 500 companies have issued negative earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance versus only 21 companies reporting positive guidance.”
According to Leong, Alcoa, one of the world’s top aluminum makers, is a good indicator for the global economy, as the metal is used in many industrial applications.
“In the second-quarter earnings season, Alcoa beat slightly on earnings, but revenues are an issue, as will likely be the situation for many U.S. companies,” reports Leong. He also notes that the company’s revenues are estimated to fall 12.7% in the third-quarter earnings season, followed by a 5.0% decline in the fourth-quarter earnings season.
“This is not what you would expect if the economy was healthy,” says Leong, noting that while there is some hope and optimism for the third-quarter earnings season, he expects disappointment across the board.
As in the past quarters, the key question, in Leong’s view, is whether companies are growing their revenues to drive earnings, or is earnings growth being generated by cost cuts. This is critical, and could give a good indication of how well corporate America is actually doing.
“The reality is that many companies cut costs during hard times, and they should be in a better condition now. If the economy was truly healthy, [the market] would see earnings growth driven by revenues,” Leong concludes.

Investment Contrarians is a daily financial e-letter dedicated to helping investors make money by going against the “herd mentality.”
The editors of Investment Contrarians believe the stock market and the economy have been propped up since 2009 by artificially low interest rates, never-ending government borrowing and an unprecedented expansion of our money supply. The “official” unemployment numbers do not reflect people who have given up looking for work and are thus skewed. They believe the “official” inflation numbers are also not reflective of today’s reality of rising prices.
After a 25- to 30-year down cycle in interest rates, the Investment Contrarians editors expect rapid inflation caused by huge government debt and money printing will eventually start us on a new cycle of rising interest rates.
Investment Contrarians provides unbiased research. They are independent analysts who love to research and comment on the economy and investing. The e-newsletter’s parent company, Lombardi Publishing Corporation, has been in business since 1986. Combined, their economists and analysts have over 100 years of investment experience.

Chicago-Area Museum Hosts A World Event: Pianist Jeanne Golan to Perform The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann
Skokie, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2012
Pianist and Steinway Artist Jeanne Golan will perform The Complete Sonatas of Victor Ullmann in two programs that span the compositional life of Viktor Ullmann, from his days as a leading musical figure in Prague to his internment at Terezin. The performances will take place on Thursday, October 18th at 7pm and Sunday, October 21st at 1:30pm; each concert will last 90 minutes and be followed by a dessert reception. Single performance general public tickets are $ 18, $ 14 for museum members. A $ 5 surcharge will be added to tickets purchased on the day of the performance. Advance purchase recommended; Click here or call 847.967.4852. The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is located at 9603 Woods Drive in Skokie, Illinois.
Viktor Ullmann’s (1898-1944), valiantly creative career culminated in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt/Terezín before he was sent to his death in Auschwitz. Golan’s double-CD set ¬– the first to put all seven of Ullmann’s piano sonatas together in more than two decades – was released by Steinway & Sons/Arkiv Music on August 28, 2012.
In a testimonial by James Conlon for Golan’s recording, the conductor – renowned Music Director of the Ravina Festival and dedicated champion of music by composers persecuted and displaced by the Nazis – says: “Viktor Ullmann and others of his generation are less known to us today not because of any lack of musical quality, but because their voices were stifled by a regime and then pushed aside once again in the clamor of post-war cultural advancement. This excellent and important recording by Jeanne Golan will do much to generate greater appreciation for Ullmann’s music among musicians and music lovers everywhere. I hope other musicians will follow her example by immersing themselves in the music of Ullmann and, in so doing, discover the work of a true 20th-century master.”
Rick Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, notes, “We are privileged to give voice to this brilliant composer whose work was silenced by the Nazi regime. Through the magnificent artistry of Jeanne Golan, the music of Viktor Ullmann can now be enjoyed and experienced by all who join us for these momentous concerts.”
The Massachusetts-bred, New York-based Golan fully immersed herself in Ullmann’s music and life for this ambitious project. Golan points out that Ullmann’s range as a composer was extraordinary: “He had this capacity to tap into all these different styles yet still sound like himself,” she says. “Ullmann was such a curious musician. Each sonata is a sort of experiment in a certain sound world, as he explores what’s suggested in folk songs or Mahler and Bartók. But it’s never derivative ¬¬¬– the music comes out as Ullmann. He had a real sense of play.
His is a very sad story, and that was a horrific time, obviously. But along with distressed emotion in his music, there is humor and often a real exuberance, a reveling in creativity.”
Philip L. and Ellen V. Glass are the Presenting Sponsor for The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann.
The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is the largest facility in the Midwest dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and to teaching current generations to fight hatred, indifference and genocide in today’s world. The Museum is located at 9603 Woods Drive, Skokie. The Museum is open Monday through Friday: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Thursday evenings: 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.; and Saturdays and Sundays: 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Learn more at http://www.ilholocaustmuseum.org.

UK Business Leaders Fear Email Attachments Damage Business
Bath, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 October 2012
1 October 2012: 40% of business leaders fear that a mistake with email attachments could lose clients, according to the report: Fatal Attachments, published by Cloud Direct™ today. 54% of businesses say that a serious mistake would damage their business’ reputation, with 8% confirming they have already lost a client or sale as a result of email attachment errors.
The study also found that 36% of employees in the UK admit to wasting up to 10 minutes each day, or 43 hours a year, as a result of the hazards of email attachments, with 8% wasting on average between 10 and 30 minutes on a daily basis.
The study of over 230 UK business professionals found that the top five hazards of email attachments are:
1. Files too large to send 50%
2. Receiving an email without an attachment 48%
3. Forgetting to attach a document 44%
4. Not being able to open an attachment 38%
5. Not being able to access an attachment on a mobile device 31%
Geoff Dowell, time management expert and executive coach at Dowell Consulting said: “Many people find themselves in high pressured work environments where they have to prioritise urgent tasks. Sharing information is simple in theory but it can actually be the time constraints that cause high levels of stress. Utilising new technologies to tackle a problem such as this can make our lives easier and our work life more efficient. Taking such small steps can often have a big impact on improving a company’s development.”
Will Rowley, technical engineer at Cloud Direct explains: “ email attachments clearly cause businesses multiple problems, but companies are not addressing the issue.
