GOOGLE TO OPEN RETAIL STORES?
According to reports today, Google is planning on opening retail stores in time for this coming holiday season. Google feels it's necessary to open stores to showcase their technology, Google Glass. Google Glass is wearable technology and it will act much the same way as a smart watch, which Apple is apparently working on right now.

The Gold Report: The major gold producers have ceded market share to gold exchange-traded funds and royalty companies and are vastly underperforming those investment vehicles. If you were running a major gold producer, how would you go about restoring the appeal of your company's shares?
