A fast-forward rewind of the week on StockHouse

StockHouse Executive Editor and Publisher Darin Diehl traded thoughts with Mad Money market maven Jim Cramer in an exclusive interview (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19268 ) after the CNBC commentator appeared on a panel to help StockHouse launch its StockStream Platinum portfolio management tool to the U.S. market.

Micro-cap Monday columnist Danny Deadlock updated readers about the recent acquisition by biometric security company (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19252 ) Bioscrypt (TSX: T.BYT), and showed how the purchase means Motorola (NYSE: MOT), Ellison and Logitech (NASDAQ: LOGI) are now Bioscrypt shareholders.

Investors in junior resource companies know that due diligence is crucial. Resourcex senior editor Doug Hadfield shed some light on how investors should read the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19253).

Everyone who watches any of the shows that are part of the C.S.I. television franchise knows that tracking bad guys requires quick and easy genetic analysis (http://www.stockhouse.com/shfn/editorial.asp?edtID=19259 ). The Micro-cap Spotlight shone on eGene (OTC:BB: EGEI), a company that hopes to fill that niche and others.

Meanwhile, the Securities Sleuth dug up the data on a number of companies whose restatements (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19263 ) have negatively impacted shareholders.

Just in time for the meeting of Federal Reserve policy makers, Steven Saville asked whether the current account deficit forecast (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19264 ) a weaker U.S. dollar.

Weekly Wizard Jay Matulich said that he’s been buying bonds and gold (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19265 ), because he says economic conditions are weaker than the market perceives.

While Don Vialoux pointed readers toward some U.S. energy sector ETFs (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19272 ) that may see appreciation at this point.

A number of companies announced the spinning off of (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19273 ) non-core assets in new initial public offerings. Jon Ogg at 24/7 Wall Street sorted out how the news was moving the parent firm’s stock.

Did you know you’re probably looking at Indium (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19274 ) right now? Pure Metals columnist Luke Burgess showed how this element is precious, and how to invest in companies that produce it.

In the third installment of the Financially Fit series about investing in small-cap stocks (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19277) Nancy Zambell presented a research primer for choosing the right funds and ETFs.

STANDUP Advice took another look at the active-passive dichotomy (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/editorial.asp?edtID=19279 ).

Finally, for a list of the hot hits on StockHouse, the Top Five (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19269 ) by Sean Mason and Keri Korteling gives the site lowdown in a list of lists.
