Own Solid, 24-Karat Gold Bullion Bars... for Just $20 The Week's Top Stories 10/12 - 10/16 Here's Why the U.S. Rebound Will Be Stronger Than You Think By Jon D. Markman Contributing Writer Money Morning The U.S. economy may be experiencing a "V-shaped" economic rebound. But it's not the conventional V-shaped rebound – where the two sides are about even. We may actually be looking at an extended rebound in which the right (recovery) side of the "V" extends way up high, like a checkmark. Since that is way out of the consensus view – and seems impossible – it is something that you must consider as a real possibility. The great performance of corporate bonds this year is sending the same message.

Early investors could stand to make initial gains of 237%, 139%, 163%, 356%, 341%, and 600% on six companies driving this trend. Click here for details. The mad rush for ONE company Imagine "prospecting" for gold...but knowing exactly where the biggest deposits are. You'd make a king's ransom. Investors in "the 3rd element" know what that feels like. We already know the ONE company with 30% of the world's best reserves. We already know the ONE company that's cornered 50% of the world market. We already know this ONE company just got $29 million from the government just for producing the 3rd element. And Horacio Marquez knows why this ONE company could turn every $10,000 into as much as $290,400 before it's through. But you'll have to hurry: We've almost passed our maximum entry point. Horacio gives you the full story here...

Will Taxpayers Have to Bail Out the FHA? By Don Miller Associate Editor Money Morning Government officials testifying before Congress on Thursday staunchly denied that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is destined to be the next financial institution to require a taxpayer bailout. But at least one critic testified that the agency is about to burn through its cash reserves in the next 24 to 36 months and will require a federal bailout to survive. Former Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) executive Edward J. Pinto predicted at a hearing in front of a House Financial Services panel that the FHA will incur $40 billion in losses, rendering it unable to cover its bad loans without taxpayer help.

(Nasdaq: INTC) are lending credence to the notion that technology – fueled by consumer spending – is leading the recovery. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index is the only major stock index to post a gain over the past five years, rising more than 13% as the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell more than 3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is flat. While the financial crisis has been hard on all three indices, the Nasdaq has gained more than 37% this year compared to the roughly 20% rise on the S&P 500 and a 14% increase for the Dow. Despite the recession, it's consumers – not businesses – that have demonstrated they are willing to spend on technology that has innovative features that make their lives easier. For example, Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) sold more than seven times the number of iPhones in its 2009 third quarter than it did in the same period last year.

(NYSE ADR: ACH) – better known as Chinalco – snapped up Peru Copper Corp. A year later, Jiangxi Copper Co. Ltd., teamed up with China Minmetals Corp., to buy out Northern Peru Copper Corp. Don't let the names of the two copper companies fool you – both targets were Canadian mining ventures. And all three of the suitors hailed from China. Commodity-rich Canada has become China's personal shopping mall. And the wheeling and dealing continues. Read Full Article »
