The Urban Gold Prospector: How to Make Money Buying Scrap Gold and Silver

The Urban Gold Prospector: How to Make Money Buying Scrap Gold and Silver is a concise yet powerful book describing how anyone can make money buying and selling scrap gold and silver. 

The author spent over ten years as a recreational gold prospector in New Mexico before applying his precious metal knowledge to making money in an urban setting. He made more money on his first deal, (which took about two hours), than he did on all the gold he found in ten years of recreational panning.

Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage

Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. 

Though "no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course," Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a company's bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation.

Bankruptcy of Our Nation

It’s no secret that the U.S. national debt is in the tens of trillions. But did you know that America also has future unfunded obligations of over $120 trillion? Unfortunately, America’s politicians have no plan to solve our mounting fiscal and monetary crisis.

Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis

In 1971, President Nixon imposed national price controls and took the United States off the gold standard, an extreme measure intended to end an ongoing currency war that had destroyed faith in the U.S. dollar. Today we are engaged in a new currency war, and this time the consequences will be far worse than those that confronted Nixon.

An Insider's Guide to the Mining Sector: An In-Depth Study of Gold and Mining Shares

The prospect of instant riches gives the mining sector an obvious glamour. And when the mining sector begins to run it can be an awesome sight and the excitement generated can be every bit as seductive and heady as that which enveloped markets during the internet boom. 

But due to the counter-cyclical nature of many mining stocks, they can also offer a valuable refuge when stock markets turn down. In this book, Michael Coulson gives a masterly overview of the sector, explains both the rewards and the pitfalls of investing in mining shares and argues convincingly that mining should once again form a core sector for all investors. 

The book is for anyone interested in mining, and particularly mining as an investment. Whilst it contains material which will be useful to even experienced followers of the sector, its main target is those who are interested in mining but perhaps not particularly familiar with the sector, and would like to know more.

Master Limited Partnerships: High Yield, Ever Growing Oil "Stocks" Income Investing for a Secure, Worry Free and Comfortable Retirement

Praise for Master Limited Partnerships by Richard Stooker: "This book provides a rational alternative to bonds, CDs and money market funds." "There is a lot of information on why Master Limited Partnerships are a great income investment." 

"Comprehensive, correct and timely." In a low yield world where government bonds pay next to no interest, S&P 500 stocks pay little more than that in dividends, the Canadian government is on the threshold of taxing income trusts, and even real estate investment trusts are suffering cash flow problems, one type of security still stands as a beacon of hope to income investors.

The Value Investors: Lessons from the World's Top Fund Managers

Investing legend Warren Buffett once said that “success in investing doesn’t correlate with I.Q. once you’re above the level of 125. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing.”

In an attempt to understand exactly what kind of temperament Buffett was talking about, Ronald W. Chan interviewed 12 value-investing legends from around the world, learning how their personal background, culture, and life experiences have shaped their investment mindset and strategy. The Value Investors: Lessons from the World’s Top Fund Managers is the result.

New Financial Horizons: The Emergence of an Economy of Communion

Gold examines the origins and substance of a promising alternative to the current globalized economy. The Economy of Communion, which started within the Focolare Movement in 1991, involves a worldwide network of solidarity among some 800 firms that together constitute a vibrant business community based upon the values of sharing, caring and justice.

How to Prosper During the Coming Bad Years in the 21st Century

The devaluation of the American dollar, with the subsequent inflation, is eerily similar to the chaotic markets of the 1970s. The factors that created the stagflation and the gold and silver bull markets of the late seventies and early eighties are back. As Yogi Berra said, "It's deja vu all over again." 

Only this time, they're even more exaggerated-offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for middle-class Americans, if they look beyond the Wall Street stock-market propaganda. This book can help you panic-proof your life and your finances, and reap huge profits with relatively small investments in gold, silver, certain ETFs, mutual funds, and mining stocks.
