Make Money From Politics

For some people, learning the mechanics of investing can be difficult. Even after you manage to choose an appropriate investment, open an account with a financial institution, and deposit some money with which to make a purchase, actually pulling the trigger and buying a stock or mutual fund can be a scary thing to do. Just imagine: An accidental extra zero in the wrong column could leave you with a very expensive mistake.

Most online brokers offer tutorials to help beginning investors avoid making costly errors in entering orders. However, a graduate school has given investors a fun alternative that can teach you about how markets operate and also offer you a chance to invest in the prospects of your favorite political candidate or party.

The University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business developed the Iowa Electronic Markets (IEM) in 1988 as a tool for teaching students about market mechanics and as a way to gather research for studies about investor behavior.

You Can't Make Money If You Don't Get Paid

The German government has handed down some interesting pharmaceutical decisions recently. Although Sanofi-Aventis's Accomplia (rimonabant) is available there (in fact, that's probably the largest market it's shown up in so far), the German regulators have decided that state health care plans are not going to reimburse for it. They've put it in the "lifestyle" drug category, which they don't cover. This appears to be a cost-cutting move, and there's a 60-day window in which it can be changed.

S-A had better hope that HMOs here don't follow suit. Of course, for this to be an issue, the drug would actually have to be approved by the FDA here, and the company still has no details to offer about when they might expect that. Their quarterly report states that they've answered the FDA's concerns, which isn't much of an update, but goes no further, as far as I can see.

Ten top moneysaving tips for students

Students have been settled into university for a good six weeks since the start of term, so they should be beginning to find their financial feet. But there may be one to two tips and tricks that could help them save their cash and keep the overdraft at bay.

1. Make money from your student loan

If you havent blown it all already and we sincerely hope you havent put as much as you can afford into a savings account, to ensure you get the highest interest possible. If youre going to have to work your way through university, your money should be working, too.

Best homes for your money are likely to be a cash ISA (no tax to pay), or one of the better savings accounts. If you choose an ISA, make sure you get one that doesnt lock your money away, so you can make withdrawals on demand.
