Time it right and strike it rich
Article Abstract:
Becoming involved in natural resources funds which invest in companies which produce commodities allows investors to gain access to the commodity process, rather than just the commodity price. Such funds are also attractive because the cyclical nature of commodity prices is now imposed on an upward slope as a result of growing demand from developing countries. Investors should be aware that single commodity funds are much more dangerous than widely based ones, and that gold performs in a different way from other commodities.

Right boys, you're on again!
Article Abstract:
The Benedictine monks of Downside Abbey near Bath, England, saw unexpected success with 'The Abbey,' their first album. This has sold more than 75,000 copies so far. The need to raise funds prompted the monks to agree to make a second album, 'Gregorian Moods,' which is to be released shortly on Virgin Records. This features a range of popular composers, including Brahms and Mozart. The monks are accompanied by the choir of the school attached to the abbey.
