The situation in Iran and the growing tensions have forced crude oil to hit all time highs trading over $75 a barrel on its way to $80, now this rise is dependent on the tension remaining in Iran and Nigeria, which does not show signs of letting up anytime soon, so $80 is realistic. On the metals front Gold traded over $635 on Friday making its way to $800, Silver is no slouch as it has traded as high as $13 on Friday making its way to $18 possibly $20, high grade Copper traded as high as $314 while Platinum went as high as $1140. One metal that I haven’t mentioned yet I will address this week along with a few ideas of companies that stand to benefit.Mystery shopping is an excellent way to make extra money. In fact, some people make a full time living doing it.There are many mystery shopping companies that will pay you to shop, eat at restaurants and take part in focus groups.A mystery shop consists of getting paid to go into a business without the employee's knowledge and reporting back to the mystery shopping company.A focus group is when you get paid to sit down with other people who are also getting paid and discuss new products or services.Mystery shopping jobs and focus groups are easier to find if you live in or near a large metropolitan area.After you do a mystery shop you answer some questions and file your report with the mystery shopping company. These reports are usually set up as a series of questions and often can be completed quickly.The reason they have mystery shops and focus groups is so that companies can get feedback on their employees, products and services. That way they can see where there might be problems and make the necessary changes to improve things.A few years ago I ha The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers as of Monday April 17, 2006.

One metal that I haven’t mentioned yet I will address this week along with a few ideas of companies that stand to benefit.Unemployment carries a lot of emotional baggage for most of us and fear is a major component.

We fear the humiliation of the job hunt and the personal rejection we expect to encounter. And finally we fear the most basic concept we hold within: that we're just not good enough, that we can't cut the mustard, that we're an incurable loser.The fear seeps into our bones and leaves us awake and restless in the middle of the night. It flashes behind our eyes to telegraph our desperation in interviews. It weighs heavily on our stooped shoulders as we walk into yet another agency and answer the same questions we have been asked for weeks. It hobbles our energy and extinguishes the enthusiasm we try so hard to project.It The NAMC Newswire’s “Wall Street to Main Street” segment in its entirety is only available to subscribers as of Monday April 17, 2006.
