What is Considered Active Investing?
Active investing is an investment term that is also referred to as active management. Active investing happens when a manager decides to make a goal of outperforming a benchmark index from the previous year. This is in direct contrast to the portfolio management strategy of passive management. In passive management, the manager will NOT try to outperform the previous benchmarks. In fact, he or she will try to find an index fund that will come as close as possible to replicating the previous returns.
Active investing is done by the manager seeking and exploiting market inefficiencies and will involve purchasing securities that are below value or it will short sell securities that are overvalued. The manager may choose to use one of these strategies or may decide to employ both at the same time. Active management may also create less risk than the benchmark index depending on what the goals are for the certain investment portfolio. Depending on the manager, the goal of the reduction of risk may be in addition to or in place of the goal of gaining a higher return.
Active investment managers will use several different factors and strategies to comprise their portfolios. These can include P/E ratios and PEG ratios, sector investments and purchasing stocks from companies that are currently not-in-favor or are seen as selling below their perceived value. Some other strategies include merger arbitrage, option writing, asset allocation and short positions.
While there is more risk with active investing, the return can be far greater.

SILA.OB, TGMP.OB 2 Stocks to Watch for Tuesday, August 31
Gold American Mining Corp. (OTCBB:SILA.OB) is pleased to announce that it has received the final ground geophysics report on its Guadalupe property and confirms that the recently concluded geophysics program has identified multiple potentially significant geophysical anomalies.
The geophysical survey was designed to test down to depths of 500 metres. The key results from the geophysics program are:
* Magnetic susceptibility survey was successful in identifying the trace near the surface extensions of the known veins. The presence of additional parallel anomalies suggests the potential for additional veins that do not outcrop.
* Induced Polarization anomalies indicate the potential for down dip extensions to the main veins within the property.
* A potentially significant chargeability anomaly (Induced Polarization) occurs in the southern portion of the property in between the Santa Rosa and San Antonio Mines at depth starting at 400 m, which is below the known depth of these historically important mines.
Gold American Mining Corp. also recently announced that Mr. Juan Manuel Jimenez has agreed to join the Company’s team as Technical Advisor – Mexico.
Mr. Jimenez has over eighteen years experience of progressively increasing responsibilities in mining exploration in North America. He brings great value to the company given his vast knowledge of precious and base metals exploration in the regions where Gold American operates.
Mr. Jimenez has extensive experience in all phases of mineral exploration and development, with a particular focus on surface and underground drilling, as well as geophysical exploration methods. He has managed and supervised significant exploration projects in the Mexican mining industry and throughout his distinguished career, he has been directly involved in programs resulting in the identification, acquisition, delineation and discovery of significant gold and silver deposits.
Gold American Mining Corp., a development stage company, focuses on the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral resource properties in North America. The company primarily explores for silver and gold deposits.

American Power Corp. (OTCBB:TGMP.OB) announced that it will proceed to kick start the development of its advanced Pace Coal Project in Judith Basin County, Montana.
In April 2010, American Power Corp. acquired roughly 29,000 acres, which make up the Pace Coal Project. In 1979 Mobil Oil Co. (now ExxonMobil) drilled 30 holes over 14,000 of the project’s acreage, and delivered 45 samples which were later sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. It was subsequently determined that both the quality and the quantity of coal on the Pace acreage was high and significant, respectively. Several independent reports were commissioned based on the development work undertaken by Mobil Oil, determining there could be in excess of 410 million tons of high volatility bituminous coal potential on the Pace acreage.
American Power Corp. announced that the Board appointed mining executive Mr. Al Valencia as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on August 1st, 2010.
Mr. Valencia’s mining experience is matched by his experience in investment banking and corporate finance. Having earned an M.A. in Economics from Syracuse University, New York, he has held various positions in New York, Washington, DC, and in Latin America. Mr. Valencia has been involved at both the corporate and government level in mining related projects, including working for the Peruvian government and in association with various investment banks such as Credit Suisse on the privatization of mining units (copper, zinc, and lead) in Peru valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
