Anatomy of a Scam: This "Prime Bank Program" Has Already Cost Investors Billions By Shah Gilani Contributing Editor Money Morning Two years ago, an associate of mine lost $100,000 because he didn't listen to me. A year ago, I saved a manufacturing company from the same scam. And just last week I saved a friend of mine $300,000.

But there's an even hotter index. This one is up 85% from its late-2008 nadir. And it's tied heavily to companies that produce gold, silver and other commodities – which themselves have been pretty hot of late. I'm talking about Canada's S&P/TSX Venture Index, formerly known as the Canadian Venture Exchange. The "venture" portion of its title is appropriate – more than 75% of the companies listed on the CDNX are so-called "junior miners." Read Full Article »
