Converting Garbage to Gold

Article Abstract:

Recycling is a way to save our resources and protect the environment. The first priority in a material recycling policy should be to establish a market for the material. Established markets will encourage collection. Our forests can be saved and prices can be brought down if effective recycling markets are established for paper and aluminum and if other metals were re-used. To achieve a recycling society, consumers must first pay the full costs of the materials they use. Energy price subsidies should be eliminated to encourage conservation. World markets for scrap paper, aluminum, iron and steel should be built to cut down the amounts of new materials needed. Finally, greater collection of waste must be done. Recycling can improve the living standards of people all over the world.

How Metals Dealers Burned the Gold Bulls

Article Abstract:

Silver and gold investors in 1983 lost one hundred million dollars in 1983 through bankruptcies of metals reserves and exchanges. Those enterprises sold Krugerrands at spot prices. The price was impossible when compared to the regular wholesale pricing mechanism. Storage conditions promised by these firms, Bullion Reserve of North America and International Gold Bullion Exchange, proved to be bogus. Bullion Reserve may be the worst fraud in history. Sight drafts and cash and carry methods are the only safe way to trade metals. These involve instantaneous fund and metal exchanges.

Despite exposure in Nagano, Kodak can't win the gold

Article Abstract:

Eastman Kodak Co.'s sales in Japan picked up during the Winter Olympics, and the US photographic equipment and film maker is optimistic that its sponsorship of the Nagano games made a positive impression on Japanese consumers. Eastman Kodak reports that its Japanese share of the film market since Sep 1996 has increased to between 11% and 12%, up from a 9% market share in 1995. However, most analysts believe that the gains will not be permanent due to a weak distribution system.
