‘Smart Trade Group’- Worldwide Economics

Sources close to “Smart Trade Group” suggest that recent comments from a high-ranking Chinese official stating that gold is not considered to be a “primary investment” for China as it diversifies its $2.4trillion of foreign currency reserves should be taken with the proverbial pinch of salt.

The reasons given, including the fact that a much higher price would hurt Chinese consumers of gold, were called “implausible” by one of the sources who cited the fact that China is the world’s largest producer of gold and second only to India as a consumer.

The Asia-based private fund believes that the comments may be aimed at talking down the price in preparation for a large purchase and a “Smart Trade Group” analyst suggested that the comments echo those of George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager who described gold’s recent rises in price as a bubble whilst simultaneously increasing his fund’s holdings in the SPDR Gold ETF by $700 million.

‘Smart Trade Group’ still consider gold to be the ultimate hedge against global measures to combat the effects of the recession and urged clients to retain their holdings.

Facebook Fan Page Pays Dividends for Entrepreneur

Like a lot of business people who knew they had to “get on Facebook,” Don Campbell started out two years ago by creating a personal profile.

Later, he realized it was a better fit for his business, Expand2Web.com, to have its own Facebook Fan Page. He created it himself, hoping to have unique content and added interactivity. But his business, creating WordPress websites and templates for small business, kept him busy and he never got much further than a basic fan page.

Then a colleague from the search marketing firm BlitzLocal offered to help him build out a fully featured, interactive fan page. The company’s developers built some pages and introduced him to some Facebook Apps and FBML, Facebook Markup Language, which allows page owners to customize and “brand” their Fan Page tabs to be consistent with their websites.
Even though it’s still quite new, the improved Fan Page has allowed Campbell to connect with fans, friends and potential customers, in ways different than through other social media.
“I've found the interactivity is much richer here than Twitter, or even my blog in some cases, because people can add photos, movies and other types of content. It’s a much more vibrant discussion,” Campbell says.
