Thursday
November 15, 2007
by: Eugene Parks

Monday
November 12, 2007
by: Mario deSantis
Prince Albert: The bottom line is simple, greed we can understand but the complexities of the devaluation of the US dollar and the subsequent increase of value of the Canadian and other currencies relative to the US dollar are complex. But there is no need to be not knowing some of the contributing factors. This story gives you the outline or the plot of the situation and the fifteen references that go with the story are educational.
