			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-457" title="Investment Club" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Investment-Club.jpg" alt="Investment Club" width="250" height="166" />For people who are new to the investing world, learning about investment could be a bit troublesome if they don&#8217;t have any friends to ask. They are forced to learn everything by themselves through the mistakes or success that they made. However, there is one hope for people who are <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/maximizing-your-portfolios-return-thru-investment-club/">new in the investing world</a> today. They could join an investor club and learn about investing in the fun way.</p>
<p>An investment club is the place where people with limited amount of investment gather around to learn about investing and sharing their experiences. You don&#8217;t have to learn everything by yourself anymore.</p>
<p>The major goal of the investment club is teaching their members about how they could make money using various investment tools, and some could goes with Finances Factoring option in supporting further investment needs. They also will learn how to minimize the risk and increase the profits.<span id="more-456"></span></p>
<p>Your success in the investing world is not guaranteed by your investment club. It&#8217;s just a place where you&#8217;ll <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/maximizing-your-portfolios-return-thru-investment-club/">learn something new about investment</a>. The investment club could not guarantee you to become a successful person because the most important step to become success and rich in the investing world is your own responsibility. The most important step is take action.</p>
<p>You could join the investment club for years, but if you never take action in the investing world, you&#8217;ll get nothing. Fortunately, you could use investing club to motivate you to take action.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-458" title="successful investment club" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/successful-investment-club-300x200.jpg" alt="successful investment club" width="220" height="188" />To get the most out of your investment club, you need to participate actively in it. For example, when you want to buy some stocks, you need to discuss it first with friends from your investment club. They could show you or give you advice about the best way to get in and get out in the stock market. By doing this, you could minimize your risks and increase you profits.</p>
<p>The successful investment club will have a lot of active members. Use their knowledge to learn more about investing world yourself. You could also gain access to online resources or organization computers if you need to find more about the investment tool that you like.</p>
<p>There are several types of investor group that you could find in the investment clubs. Some of them prefer to get profits as fast as possible, and others prefer a long-term investment and slowly build their <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/investment-options-for-better-retirement-planning/">investment portfolio</a>. Here are 3 types of investment group that you might want to know:</p>
<p>1. Momentum Investors &#8211; These investors prefer technical analysis than fundamental to tracking down the <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/what-is-a-stock-exchange/">price in the stocks market</a>. Their purchase usually following a direct order from the system that they use and they trust.</p>
<p>2. Growth Investors &#8211; These investors prefer fundamental analysis before they do the investment. They check carefully the profit margins, growing sales and earnings, and also the prospect of the company that they want to invest to.</p>
<p>3. Value Investors &#8211; Value investors using the same <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/coping-with-rising-costs-online-investment-options/">fundamental analysis</a> with the Growth Investors, but they have different measurements. They are looking for the company that has a very low stock price but showing a high growth for the next couple years.<br />
Most investors that you&#8217;ll find in the investment club often use the fundamental analysis. You could learn from them how to pinpoint a good stock and avoiding the bad ones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US"><img class="size-full wp-image-251  aligncenter" title="article37-1" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/article37-11.jpg" alt="article37-1" width="430" height="298" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">World market prices for oil declined on the basis of bidding at the leading oil exchanges on 19 June 2009. Official prices of oil futures next month of delivery were:<br />
in London on InterContinental <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/what-is-a-stock-exchange/">Exchange Futures</a> &#8211; IPE e-Brent Crude Futures Electronic &#8211; 69,19 (-1,87) $ / barrel. in New York for the New York Mercantile Exchange &#8211; Light, Sweet Crude Oil &#8211; 69,55 ( -1.82) U.S. $ / bbl.<br />
During the last day the price rose &#8211; the purchase of oil has been attributed to the fact that during the period 12-16 June, the price of oil futures declined more significantly than they have subsequently increased over the last two trading days (17 and 18 June), which technically allowed market participants to continue to enhance the game.<br />
However, the main factor in the fall of the value of &#8220;black gold&#8221; was the information that<span> </span>stocks of gasoline had substantially increased over the past week in the United States.<br />
It should be recalled that, as of June 12, <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/oil-prices-went-down-sharply/">stocks of gasoline</a> in the United States rose to 3.4 million barrels for the week, exceeding the expectations of industry experts by nearly six times.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It is expected that the winter Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014 will be clean and «green». Its organizers have committed themselves to the proper disposal of waste, economic usage of water and electricity, the observance of cleanliness and careful attitude to the environment in general.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding. It is aimed at protecting the environment during the preparations for the Olympics and its implementation with the Russian National Committee for the Olympic Games. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Under this Memorandum, UNEP will provide technical support for Russia in its efforts to organize «environmentally friendly» Olympics.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-145 aligncenter" title="article19-1" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/article19-11.jpeg" alt="article19-1" width="468" height="304" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">At the signing ceremony the representative of UNEP Teodore Aubin stated that he hoped that the new arrangements would be a sort of guarantee that during preparation and holding of competitions measures will be taken to protect nature in Sochi and the whole Krasnodar region as well.<span id="more-144"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Organizers of the Olympic Games in Sochi plan to invest 1.75 billion dollars in projects on energy saving and renewable energy. So they want to offset the greenhouse gas emissions from energy use, air travel and other modes of transport. Other environmental initiatives include the development of «green belt» around town and reforestation in the Sochi National Park.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">UNEP recalled that in 2008 Russia on the advice of international experts decided to postpone a number of Olympic facilities. In particular, it was decided to find alternative places for the sledge, bobsled track, Olympic Village and the water intake, which were previously planned to be built on the outskirts of the fragile natural Caucasus Reserve.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Then, in 2008, Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin proposed to build «disputed objects» in other places at the meeting on the problems of compliance with environmental requirements in preparation for the Olympic Games in 2014, saying that if their construction violated the environmental system, it could not be restored. «In determining priorities &#8211; money or ecology &#8211; we choose ecology. If the balance of nature is broken, it can lead to a situation that would be impossible to correct for any money », &#8211; said Vladimir Putin.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-146 aligncenter" title="article19-2" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/article19-21.jpeg" alt="article19-2" width="400" height="269" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The head of the UN Environment Program Achim Steiner welcomed the Russian Government&#8217;s commitment to environmental sustainability in preparation for the Olympic Games in Sochi. He called the decision of Russia an important step towards the «green» Olympics-2014.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Theodore Aubin stressed that the obligations, enshrined in the new memorandum, would not remain only on paper, because the organizing committee «Sochi-2014» joined UNEP «plant billion trees» project on the day of the signing.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">International Economic Forum will take place in St. Petersburg from 4 to 6 June. A year ago, when the economic crisis had already affected the United States and Europe, businesses still continued to call Russia a &#8220;quiet haven.&#8221; The Government in its turn had built long-term plans for the new role of Russia in the world. And in his speech at the Economic Forum, President Medvedev said: &#8220;We have waited long for new bright victories: in economy, technology, and social development.&#8221; But the crisis still made it to Russia, and loudly announced itself. Following four months of 2009 the decline in GDP was 10%, while the budget deficit reached 9% of GDP.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82" title="article8-1" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/article8-11.jpeg" alt="article8-1" width="558" height="153" /><span id="more-80"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span> </span>As BNP Paribas Bank President Philippe Delpal told the Russian service of BBC, the main theme of the forum should be the investment climate in Russia. &#8220;I would like to know how we should restructure our strategy to conduct business in Russia. How we, foreign investors, can invest more in the country, and how we can create a safer place for investments in Russia”,- explained Delpal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Organizers have invited over 2 thousand participants to the forum, including representatives of the political elite and leaders of major corporations such as Exxon Mobile, Gazprom, TNK-BP, and ONEKSIM. But shortly before the forum it has been revealed that not all of the invited people will attend the program. “The crisis is not the best time to overspend” felt heads of international corporations, and stayed home.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But even those who come are unlikely to listen to the recommendations of the forum on the crisis. The program, offered by the organizers, at first glance, is large: there is a session to discuss the causes of the crisis, its impact on different sectors of business, even the history of previous crises, and there are also planned roundtables for the companies in banking sector, oil, transport, and even film.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-83 aligncenter" title="article8-21" src="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/article8-211.jpeg" alt="article8-21" width="500" height="334" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The forum members give particular attention to the subject of reserve currency. Opinions about the fact that dollar, as such, needs to have an alternative appear increasingly in recent times. A few weeks ago, representatives of China and Brazil discussed the possibility of using national currencies instead of dollar in trade transactions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In general, however, from the 13th Economic Forum in St. Petersburg experts and analysts are not waiting for anything good. Members who attend the forum will most probably leave without a prescription from anti-crisis, and without hope for the new rules of doing business in Russia. And even the planned concert of the group Duran Duran on Palace Square is threatened to be spoiled by rainy weather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S. President Barack Obama is launching a &#8220;Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate&#8221; to help facilitate a U.N. agreement on global warming, the White House said on Saturday.</p>

<p>Leaders from 16 major economies have been invited to a &#8220;preparatory session&#8221; on April 27-28 in Washington to &#8220;help generate the political leadership necessary&#8221; to achieve an <a href="http://www.cbsinvestment.com/obama-to-invite-forum-on-energy-and-climate/">international pact to cut greenhouse gas emissions</a> later this year, it said in a statement.<span id="more-10"></span></p>
<p>It said the meeting would spur dialogue among developed and developing countries about the issue, &#8220;and advance the exploration of concrete initiatives and joint ventures that increase the supply of clean energy while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.&#8221;</p>
<p>The major economies include: Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and the United States.</p>
<p>Denmark, which is hosting a U.N. meeting at the end of this year to forge a pact that would take over from the Kyoto Protocol, and the United Nations were also invited.</p>
<p>The group&#8217;s preparatory sessions would culminate with a major meeting on the subject in Italy in July.</p>
