WHAT IS A HOSTILE TAKEOVER
Ever wonder what a hostile takeover is and why you should care? Slate.com explains it in simple terms that someone just learning about stocks can understand. If you have prospects with stock in companies that experienced successful hostile takeovers, they may have gotten very good prices if they sold their shares . . . and have capital gains problems that charitable gifts could help ameliorate.

WHAT IS A MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITY?
I'm not even going to attempt to explain this in one paragraph, but if you are curious about how the Bear Stearns mortgage house of cards fell, this will feed your curiosity with easily digestible concepts.

MINERAL RIGHTS
Geology.com explains the difference between mineral rights and surface rights and the issues involved in letting a company have the rights to the minerals under the surface of the land, while still retaining ownership of the land. At the bottom of the article, there are links to several other interesting sites.

GEOLOGY SALARY NEWS
Got geologists? Here's a group that has the potential to be hot annual fund prospects right out of school, so pay more attention to them. Salaries for new graduates are closing on $100,000 in both the U.S. and Canada. Three to five years of experience makes them even more affluent, because there is a market boom creating more jobs and an applicant shortage. I wonder what the old pros are making.
