Gold is still the most romantic of precious metals and Edgewater Exploration Ltd is a gold exploration mining company, building a portfolio of gold mining assets around the world.
Edgewater has, with FeatherStone Capital Advisors, secured two gold projects in their mid stages from Red Back Mining and Lundin Mining, and continues to look for undervalued goldmines at the development stage.
Mining projects in Ghana – the second largest gold producer in Africa – and Spain are generating excitement within Edgewater, the gold exploration mining company based in Canada.
These assets will be advanced as Edgewater continues to acquire undervalued non-core and mid-tier gold mining assets and companies which will increase shareholder value in the company.

UK needs a dose of optimism
A new global poll has indicated that emerging nations are more optimistic about business prospects in 2011 than businesses in the old "G7".
Countries like Brazil, India and China show up brightly in the poll by Gallup International, but of the 53 countries polled the most pessimistic for the year is the UK.
We do like to be gloomy, don't we? The poll was probably taken during the snowy period, which would add to our miserable mood.
Only 8% of UK interviewees think 2011 will be a year of prosperity, compared with 30% over the world. In the UK 37% believe unemployment will rise compared with a world average of 17%. And so it goes on.
Far too easily a gloomy prediction can become a self-fulfilling prophesy.
It's time for a dose of optimism to go with your mulled wine and mince pies. Cheer up and get to it!

CBI downgrades recovery forecast
The CBI has reduced its forecast for economic growth for the first quarter of 2011. The previous forecast was 0.3%, but this has been downgraded to 0.2%, with inflation and public sector job cuts impacting the recovery.
However, the CBI did stress that it did not expect the economy to lurch back into recession, and its forecast for the second quarter is a growth of 0.4%.
Consumer spending is likely to be hit by higher energy bills and the increase in VAT to 20%.
Chief economic adviser at the CBI, Ian McCafferty, said: “Quarterly growth at the start of 2011 is likely to be very sluggish, although we do expect the recovery itself to stay on track.
"What is striking is how little we see growth accelerating in 2012. Typically, by the third year of a recovery, growth would be more robust than we expect for either 2011 or 2012."
I can’t see that it’s surprising myself. The recession was pretty bad, but it has long gone – yet, people still refer to us being in a recession. The mood is still bleak and angry, and I can easily see that this will keep economic growth sluggish.
All this is in spite of economic growth of 0.8% between July and September. It was good news, but did little to lighten the mood. It’s going to be a long, hard climb. I would have thought anyone could see that.

Lord Sugar admits mistake in falling for Baggs blag
We're down to the last two after the brutal "interview programme" on last night's show. It was certainly the right two who reached the final - Stella and Chris - from the final five.
But - and Lord Sugar admitted this last night - he may have missed a trick by eliminating Liz last week. In fact Sugar voiced his anger towards Stuart Baggs, the candidate who had blagged his way through last week's show at Liz's expense, only for Lord S to realise his mistake following the interviews and subsequent boardroom discussion.
I can't recall Lord S being so angry at - or admitting - his own mistake. I think he's right to be cross.
Baggs was "full of shit", said Lord S - and never could so many of the watching TV audience have chuckled in knowing agreement at this assessment.
The victim was Liz Locke, who seemed to be an excellent candidate until last week's Baggs blag saw her off.
So, on to the final: Stella v Chris. I wonder who'll get Liz and who'll get Baggs in their team for the showdown.

Innovation will bring success
If December is a bit slow for your business, maybe it's a good time to take a moment to plan for 2011, if you've not already done so.
I always find looking forward to the future and making plans for the next year (or three) very exciting. It stimulates the mind and gives hope for a bright new year.
The economic situation in 2010 hasn't been great, and it's not likely to get a lot better in 2011. Consumers will have less money to spend and, whatever your business, you are likely to be affected by that. So it is worth putting that into your equation for planning for next year.
How are you going to overcome that?
Will it be by spending less, or by spending more (to eventually gain more), by taking more risks, or by taking less risks?
It is a firmly held belief among successful entrepreneurs (I've read the books!) that you have to take risks to become successful. That's not gung-ho, mad risks, but calculated risks where you understand the consequences of failure. But don't be held back.
I believe that 2011 should be a year for innovations; in the way we work, the way we market and sell, the way we produce and what we produce.
I don't have all the answers (I wish I did), but I believe innovation will bring success.

Inflation on the rise again
Inflation has risen again. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was up to 3.3% in November, from 3.2% in October. It is still lower than its recent high of 3.7% in May 2010, but has been 3% or over since February 2010.
The deflation fears of mid-2009 seem a long time ago, don't they.
Inflation at 3.3% is well above the 2% target set by the Government, and Bank of England governor Mervyn King will have to write to Chancellor George Osborne for the tenth month in a row to explain the reasons for this.
He'll no doubt say that food prices rose at record rates from one month to the next. To be fair, there's not much Mr King can do about that.
Meanwhile, we poor public and business people are victims of circumstances caused by others.
It's up to us to strive to do better for ourselves.

Late invoice payments hurt smaller businesses
It's a continuing frustration that bigger companies pay invoices late to smaller businesses. Many go well beyond the accepted 30-day rule.
Whether they do this for reasons of selfishness (i.e. keeping the money in their interest-bearing accounts for as long as possible) or because their systems are sluggish (i.e. once a month BACS run), I do not know, but I do know that is very unhelpful to "the little guy".
Most small businesses are reliant on small, but speedy cash flow, and the delays in payments of invoices - many for amounts as small as two figures - only serve to stem the cash flow and give owners headaches in chasing unpaid bills.
The next thing the bigger client may know is that the smaller business is no longer there.
I urge larger businesses to make paying smaller businesses a priority, giving them a fighting chance of beating the current economic climate, and maybe eventually employing a few new people into the bargain too.

Work from home - let it snow
It's on days like this, with four inches of snow lying on the ground outside (I live in Surrey) that I'm glad that I work from home. I do not have to go out today, when the roads are likely to be treacherous and public transport undoubtedly badly affected.
In spite of the weather I can carry on with my business. This is a great boon, and one which home-working and the Internet have brought about. I am sure that in 2010 there are many more thousands of people who can continue to work normally, despite the terrible recent and ongoing weather, when compared with twenty years ago.
I have no demographics, but I'm fairly sure that nearly everyone travelled to their place of work back in 1990. In 2010, most people still do, but many now don't. Whether that has any great impact on the country's economy, I don't know, but maybe if we look forward another twenty years, the increase in home-working will by then make a difference to the economy on bad weather days, and to the amount of traffic on the roads (decrease it!) when the weather's good.
No day off for me when it's snowed. Back to work...
