OPEC is scheduled to meet next week in Vienna and may do just that. Prices are falling in other markets as well. In London, the ICE Futures exchange saw…

If a company can be found that has skill and luck on both sides of the oil and gas exploration game (paper & drilling), profits may well gush for all. Vortex Resources Corp.,…

It is convenient to blame the BRIC block of countries for demanding so much of various metals that scrap enterprises have become profitable. However, the truth is that it has always been so. Fierce competition and conservation concerns make a heady mix in terms of recycling finite resources. 59% of the 36.04 million shares of this small-capital member of the Basic Materials Sector are held by reputed financial institutions.
