The GOLD PRICE fell thirty cents sic to $1,723. Silver rose 12c to 3369.6c. Those numbers look promising, but the chart doesn’t. Unless gold begins to climb and rises first over $1,730 it will drop. Once it drops below $1,705, then it will go whole hog to $1,680 or $1,650. On the other hand, if gold clears $1,730, it’s back in the fight. RSI and MACD whisper gold is headed down, though. The SILVER PRICE chart doesn’t say much more than gold’s, just has different boundaries. Upside silver must clear 3400c, and hasn’t yet been to make that stick. Down below 3320c must hold, or silver will give up another dollar. I reckon the clean up crews out sweeping up after fire-bombing protestors in Greece have left markets wondering whether the Greek Debt Deal is a done deal or not. Something about protestors throwing rocks and firebombs calls into question the parliament’s vote. Stocks rose a little while the US dollar, euro, yen, and silver and gold twitched sideways. Dow Jones Industrial Average today rose 72.81 or 0.57% to 12,874.04. S&P rose 0.68% (9.13 points) to to 1,351.77. Spooky how stocks dropped like your car keys down a well on Friday, then did what your car keys never do, popped right back up. Well, almost to the lip of the well, but not quite. The bounce didn’t reach as high as Thursday, so this could promise two different outcomes, either extending the rally, or failing and falling. Clue to which outcome will eventuate is the Dow’s 20 day moving average at 12,734. That opens a deep and unforgiving mineshaft below the Dow. And there is also more discouraging news from the MACD and RSI indicators, bumping up on highs and rolling over downward. Currencies are all holding their breath, waiting to see what will happen in Greece. US dollar fell 11.5 basis points (0.15%) to 78.974, ’bout the same place it stood on Friday. Euro fell 0.03% (get out your microscope) to 1.3194, yen rose 0.04% to 128.92c/Y100 (Y77.57/US$1). Euro is trying to fall out of bed. SPECIAL OFFER Somebody asked me why, if I think gold will rise, I would sell gold coins. Simply because I make my living buying and selling gold, and if I held on to everything I bought, I’d be out of business in about two days. But why these special offers? Because they offer some special value. Maybe I’ve been accumulating them for a while at lower prices, and so can sell them cheaper than usual, or maybe they just backed up in my inventory and I want to clean them out. Either way, my problem is your opportunity. Today I have ONLY six US $20 gold pieces I have accumulated over time. You buy them as is. Remember, they contain only 0.9675 troy ounce fine gold. I priced them based on $1,723 spot gold, and the premium is shown with each. The Liberty $20 gold was minted before 1907. The St. Gaudens from 1907 -1934. MINIMUM PURCHASE: any Two (2) coins, plus $25 per order shipping. Any problems with the coins are fully described. I’m not selling these as collector’s items, but simply as gold coins at a small premium over their gold content. I am selling them “as is.” 1. One 1879-S which might be an Extremely Fine grade but isn’t because it has a heavy scratch on the obverse, $1,750.00 (a 5% premium over gold value). 2. One 1885-S which might be an EF grace but isn’t because somebody cleaned it and it has scratches on the reverse, $1,750.00 (a 5% premium over gold) 3. One 1892-S Extremely Fine grade, no problems, $1,760.00, at 5.6% premium over melt. 4. One 1904 About Uncirculated, no problems, $1,780.00 or a 6.8% premium over gold value 5. One 1904 that surely would have graded VF but somebody polished it and it has a little edge bruise, $1,750.00 (a 5% premium over melt) 6. One 1924 (St. Gaudens type) About Uncirculated with a small scratch on the reverse, $1,780.00 (6.8% premium). Sorry, no re-orders at these prices. Offer ends when my supply runs out. Special Conditions: First come, first served, and no re-orders at these prices. I will enter orders based on the time I receive your e-mail at . We will not take orders for less than the minimums shown above. All sales on a strict “no-nag” basis. We will ship as soon as your check clears, but we allow Two weeks (14 days) for your check to clear. Calls looking for your order two days after we receive your check will be politely and patiently rebuffed. If you want faster shipping, please send a wire. Spot gold basis for all prices above is $1,723.00. ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS: 1. You may order by e-mail only to . No phone orders, please. Your email must include your complete name, address, and phone number. We cannot ship to you without your address. Sorry, we cannot ship outside the United States or to Tennessee. Repeat, your email must include your complete name, address, and phone number. Our clairvoyant quit without warning last week and I stumbled and dropped my crystal ball, smashing it to pieces, so we can no longer read your mind. 2. Orders are on a first-come, first-served basis until supply is exhausted. 3. “First come, first-served” means that we will enter the orders in the order that we receive them by e-mail. 4. If your order is filled, we will e-mail you a confirmation. If you do not receive a confirmation, your order was not filled. 5. You will need to send payment by personal check or bank wire (either one is fine) within 48 hours. It just needs to be in the mail, not in our hands, in 48 hours. 6. We allow fourteen (14) days for personal checks to clear before we ship. If your hurry is greater than that, you can send a bank wire. Once we ship, the post office takes four to fourteen days to get the registered mail package to you. All in all, you’ll see your order in about one month if you send a check.

May not be republished in any form, including electronically, without our express permission. To avoid confusion, please remember that the comments above have a very short time horizon. Always invest with the primary trend. Gold’s primary trend is up, targeting at least $3,130.00; silver’s primary is up targeting 16:1 gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks’ primary trend is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate bubble has burst, primary trend down. WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned: Do NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don’t intend them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures. NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps. NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced. NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt. What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands. One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose.

gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks' primary trend is down, targeting Dow under
2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary
trend down; real estate bubble has burst, primary trend down. WARNING AND
DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned: Do NOT use these commentaries to trade
futures contracts. I don't intend them for that or write them with that short
term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals.
Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures. NOR do I
recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT
physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you
can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary
of traps. NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper
gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced. NOR do I
recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt. What DO I recommend?
Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands. One final warning:
NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose.

Powerball Lottery Winner Strikes Gold; Powerball Lotto Ticket Worth Millions sold in Rhode Island

2012-02-13T00:27:00.002-08:00

dow2664

Powerball Lottery Overview: Powerball lottery officials recently took a little heat as a result of the changes made to the price of a Powerball lottery ticket. The price doubled from 1 dollar per ticket to two dollars per ticket. Justification for the rise in price came via the larger jackpot. Although officials were promising bigger and better jackpots, many players remained upset over the increase, and some even vowed to stop playing the Powerball altogether. In the days after the Powerball ticket price increase, the jackpot grew larger and ultimately reached a climactic amount. Over this past weekend, the Powerball jackpot reached its third highest mark ever. Droves of people were lured by the extreme prize and as a result, just one lucky player will take home the jackpot. Lottery officials relay that the winning ticket was sold in Rhode Island. The specific location where the winner was sold is not yet being released. The one time cash payment will be $210 million which officials state is the largest cash payment ever for the game. If you are from Rhode Island and purchased a ticket, double check the numbers. The winners on the 11th of February were 1-10-37-52-57 with the Powerball being 11. Genny Germano

Powerball Lottery Winner Strikes Gold; Powerball Lotto Ticket Worth Millions sold in Rhode Island

2012-02-12T22:15:00.000-08:00

Powerball Lottery Overview: Powerball lottery officials recently took a little
heat as a result of the changes made to the price of a Powerball lottery ticket.
The price doubled from 1 dollar per ticket to two dollars per ticket.
Justification for the rise in price came via the larger jackpot. Although
officials were promising bigger and better jackpots, many players remained upset
over the increase, and some even vowed to stop playing the Powerball altogether.
In the days after the Powerball ticket price increase, the jackpot grew larger
and ultimately reached a climactic amount. Over this past weekend, the Powerball
jackpot reached its third highest mark ever. Droves of people were lured by the
extreme prize and as a result, just one lucky player will take home the jackpot.
Lottery officials relay that the winning ticket was sold in Rhode Island. The
specific location where the winner was sold is not yet being released. The one
time cash payment will be $210 million which officials state is the largest cash
payment ever for the game. If you are from Rhode Island and purchased a ticket,
double check the numbers. The winners on the 11th of February were 1-10-37-52-57
with the Powerball being 11. Genny Germano

The Best Objective Review I’ve Had In Weeks

2012-02-12T19:40:00.000-08:00

tdp2664Penny Stock Live
I want to thank FL_Trader for taking the time to write this review. It’s clearly well written and objective which helps me a lot. As a former teacher I know the importance of of assessing my performance week to week, so when I get a thorough evaluation like this one from FL_Trader at Investimonials, you better believe I not only listen, but more importantly refine my service to meet the needs of my subscribers. Quite honestly, some of his critical comments have been on my mind as well. Professional and focused I like this guy Jason. He verifies his trades consistently on Profit.ly and has a good winning percentage > 60%. He’s professional, mature, and focused unlike some of the other gurus on Profit.ly. He was a former school teacher with a Master’s degree in Education with a passion to teach on Wall Street. He is humble and works hard for his subscribers. He is always punctual and organized. When he started out in Profit.ly, he started to promote his swing trade service and it was really good. His watchlist was very profitable and subscribers were happy. There are approximately 150+ subscribers in this service. However, something changed recently that worries me. He all of a sudden started offering a day trading service to only a select number of subscribers for $1997/yr with no option for monthly payments. That was a real shocker. Now the swing trading service has slowed down dramatically and the day trading service seems to be more active. It went from quality trading to hyper scalping trash in a couple weeks Now you see good setups being destroyed by these scalpers. They push and pull things around making things unstable. I’m concerned that Jason can’t manage everything in the long run and may end up losing subscribers. On a typical week, Jason will give you like 15-20 stocks to follow but he will only play like 1-5 of them. He will also pull a rabbit out of his hat occassionally and trade some new stock that was never listed on the watchlist only to watch him fail because nobody was prepared for that stock. All these 15-20 stocks are very profitable setups but I don’t know why he doesn’t play them with conviction and confidence. He also has this bad habit of buying stocks at their highs looking for higher prices. He will send out an alert when stocks are at their highs only to push it higher. Sometimes they work but most of the time they don’t. I recommend current subscribers not wait for his alerts. They usually are timed poorly. They should play his watchlist independently but buy low and sell at the highs. Use longer term time periods on your charts and be very patient. Don’t chase. I can only give this service about 4 stars since there are some lingering issues that are concerning. (Read more )

A Higher Gold Price is The Best Reason For QE

2012-02-12T05:17:00.000-08:00

AppId is over the quota Quantitative easing is the only solution, according to
the Federal Reserve, to help stimulate as well as keep the economy afloat. Is it
really the only solution? Should we even keep the economy afloat or let is fall
hard and rebuild from the bottom up? Whatever the case, they won't let it
happen. QE will come and the gold price will soar. What about Greece? How will
the United States' banking organization be affected by Greece and its
predicament? That is dependent upon what a Greek default looks like as
determined by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA). Since
their founding in 1985, the ISDA has had as its goal the betterment of the
over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives market. Disbursed amongst 57 countries, there
are more than 800 affiliates. They employ a master agreement which is a
standardized contract. Initially originated in 1985, it became more structured
during the decade of the 1990s. When it began, the key OTC derivative was
interest rate swaps, but presently it includes many more derivative products
such as the credit default swaps (CDS). The Bank for International Settlements
(BIS) projects that world-wide there is approximately US $707 trillion notional
amount of derivatives as of June 30, 2011 which means this market is worth over
US $19 trillion. Why am I explaining what the ISDA is in reference to Greece?
Believe it or not, there is an agreement in the making which stipulates that
owners of private debt would receive only 30 cents on the dollar for their Greek
debt. Private banks hold roughly $260 billion of Greek debt. It has already been
agreed that these private debt owners will receive a 50% reduction in the debt
they hold, however, a reduction of a 70% arrangement does not exist.
Furthermore, new bonds would be issued with lower interest rates which basically
means that these banking institutions may have to lose significantly. Credit
default swaps are founding Greek debt and the ISDA has issued an order that as
long as any debt agreement is voluntary there would be no call on the CDS and
buyers of the CDS would not collect any payout. In the initial consideration,
the 50% cut was recognized as chosen and therefore there would be no payout.
However, now there is talk of a 70% slash which needs to be classified as
voluntary or forced? ISDA would need to think about that one. Jim Sinclair, a
well-known gold analyst, gave a brief sketch as to what constitutes a default
for the ISDA. The interview aired January 31, 2012 on the Elli$ Martin Report.
The CDS outstanding world-wide is approximately US $32.5 trillion notional value
where half is held by US banks. The following five banks hold 97% of CDS in the
United States and are prominent members within ISDA: • JP Morgan Chase •
Bank of America • Citibank • Gold man Sachs • HSBC Bank USA In fact, the
officials associated with the decision-making process that would conclude
whether a 70% debt cut for Greek debt is a default or a voluntary reduction are
the main issuers of CDS and Greek debt CDS. In regards to the financial
institutions that administered their debt by buying the hedge of CDS, they are
apprehensive and displeased that they may be obligated to lose 70% on their
holdings as well as be powerless to accrue on their hedge. The anxieties
Sinclair is demonstrating have merit because if the CDS owners are not capable
of yielding from their hedge, the indeterminate amount of trillions of dollars
worth of CDS that have been written by the 5 large banks before-mentioned will
vanish. The problem lies in that the future misfortune on the Greek debt plus
many others if the CDS hedges were declared a default would more than wipe out
the capital of these large banks. The thought of the true death of the US
banking system because of CDS is sufficient to frighten the biggest pessimist.
Consequently, the anxiety felt by Sinclair is reasonable considering that, as it
is, we're not getting the whole story. All is not lost, though. Maybe now we
can better comprehend the latest statements by Fed Chairman Bernanke. For the
next three years, interest rates are to be held more or less at existing levels
until 2014; another round of quantitative easing is right around the corner. The
swaps being negotiated between the Fed and the ECB are also a manner in which QE
is produced. What's happening, consequently, is infinite QE throughout the
world. This is not good for the US dollar. However, QE is good for the gold
price, gold stocks, and it is also good for the stock market. Could this be the
readon why the S&P 500 jumped 4.3% and gold was up 11% in January? Meanwhile,
the USS Index fell 1.4% in January and is down 3.2% from its latest elevation.

African governments demand greater contributions from #mining companies

2012-02-12T00:24:00.001-08:00

min2664

A recent article from MiningWeekly.com has indicated that African mining is expected to continue growing, despite government demands.

Deloitte has warned that mining companies face a more challenging environment, as African governments are demanding greater contributions from mining companies operating on the continent.

Deloitte advisor Ross Jerrard explains "Globally, there is acknowledgement that Africa has significant untapped reserves; everyone is forced to go into Africa now, and the governments themselves recognise this and they want to realise the true potential of this move. They are making sure that they don't lose out on the longer-term benefits of the project, whereas, in the past, it has really been a focus on the maximisation of short-term gains"

According to MiningWeekly.com Jerrard says that, in many instances, junior miners are no longer just expected to supply funds for exploration and local job creation, but are now asked to contribute to the long-term development of the community in which they operate.

Despite these changes in African governments' approach to mining on the continent, Africa remains a prime investment destination, and while the risks and challenges associated with investing in Africa are well recognised, there is an appreciation that the continent is on the up.

There are instances where historically inhospitable countries are opening the lines of communication for possible mining investment, with examples of investments into Ethiopia, Morocco, Uganda and Tunisia.

It Will Not Be The Price of Gold Bullion That Will Crash

2012-02-11T14:39:00.002-08:00

AppId is over the quota Wow! I really never thought the American economy would
recover so quickly. According to the latest U.S. economic data, there has been a
rather reserved decline in the unemployment rate as well as a vast increase of
consumer credit. Interesting. Meanwhile, in Europe things have gotten worse
which supports the dollar's multi-year high against the euro. Actually it is
the dollar's security which is frequently upheld as one of key arguments that
the U.S. economy is recuperating . The truth is that the economy is barely
surviving and the dollar is climbing due to a rationale that is not akin to its
economic strength. It is true that the Eurozone and its problems are influencing
the global economy. It has been very demanding for them to make decisions across
borders and national preoccupations while their negotiations are in disarray.
And the international media has been with them every step of the way. Because of
this, the troubles in America have taken second stage despite our being probably
worse than across the seas. The facility with which we solve our problems (via
the printing press) have aided in not being forced to encounter face to face the
concerns that Europe has had to contend with. This composure has been
misunderstood as a strong point and the dollar has enjoyed safe haven status as
a result. This is very self-fulfilling in nature because investors run from the
euro to the dollar which then rises to mirror the demand. The expansion
justifies the choice to initially buy and, subsequently, induces more buyers who
seek benefit from its appreciation…until it ends. It is the U.S. Treasuries
which receive these safe haven dollar investments. Consequently, U.S. interest
rates are much lower than they would be alternatively. To be fair, the United
States and Italy bear corresponding national debt configuration. In spite of
this, interest rates in Washington are presently 600 basis points less than in
Rome. This indicates that Americans can borrow and spend more freely.
Ultimately, this extra debt financed consumption is equivalent to a rise in
employment and GDP which, in turn, signifies that the positive economic response
upholds the dollar to a more prestigious status, thus supporting the vicious
cycle. Italy would not be undergoing the troubles they have today if the rates
were as low now as they were two years ago. Their budgets would still be tamable
and their borrowing costs would never have increased. Likewise, if the United
States would have higher rates, then our picture would not look so sunny.
Conceptualize for a second if rates were just 200 basis points higher…that
would affect consumers, homeowners, corporations, and governments alike who rely
upon low-priced financing. Things would be exponentially poorer for us as
compared to Europe. Strictly speaking, and as horrible as it may sound, the
problems in Europe are good for us. No, not us, the economy, to be precise. And
only for the short-term. Past the horizon, borrowing and spending more money to
finance expenditure and government red ink will not facilitate the U.S. economy
attain economic harmony. If, by some miracle, the winds were to blow the other
way, the dollar would collapse, interest rates and consumer prices would go up,
and the U.S. economy would stumble back in recession. However, Europe isn't
that strong at this moment so we don't have to worry about that for now.
But…when reality sets in and the truth is upheld, the crash will be ten-fold.
We have lived it with dot com stocks and real estate and the time is coming for
the dollar and U.S. Treasuries. Notwithstanding that Europe gets it together, we
are still awaiting a disaster. But it will only be worse because we will have
much more debt to deal with. And the price of gold bullion will be that much
higher… Tags: Current Gold Price, current gold price news, Gold Prices, Price

Gold Price Trend To Make Bulls Very Happy for the New Year

2012-02-11T14:39:00.001-08:00

AppId is over the quota Last year at this time the London gold fix was $1405 and
currently it is a little under $1600 so no matter what anybody says the gold
price trend has survived very well under the terrible global monetary crisis. To
all the naysayers who said it was over, I say hold on because not only is it up
but it will continue its trajectory in 2012. The unyielding fundamentals that
gold is being driven by will continue into the New Year and possibly for quite
some time after so we're probably looking at some pretty nice gold prices
coming. Its behavior has been extraordinary in spite of the massive deleveraging
sell-off in September from its $1920.50 high. It recently lowered again to
$1534.06 due to more deleveraging linked with the mounting uneasiness about the
European Union's outcome and was booed heavily by the bears but it still
manages to shine through. And it will carry on its luminosity with the basic
fundamental of debt swelling continuing as the best way for governments to ease
out of their debt. How will this occur? With liquidity injections that will buy
the debt in an everlasting disadvantageous manner. This, obviously, is not the
solution to the overwhelming debt but the United States initialized it (after
Japan) and many others have followed in suit. Japan's ticket to debt freedom
included forcing interest rates to zero and keeping them there by printing money
and purchasing bonds with this paper. Indeed, the debt level in Japan is nearing
¥1 quadrillion. If that isn't enough, their balance sheet is ¥138 trillion.
The United States' Federal Reserve balance sheet is surpassing $2.7 trillion.
The worst of the worst, though, has to be the Eurozone (which lately has
maintained center stage). Their balance sheet has evolved into an unprecedented
€2.5 trillion. And they say that quantitative easing is not the answer! So
what is occurring, then? There are those within the ECB that are supporting QE
so as to avoid another recession. It was only December when the ECB handed out
€489 billion ($638 billion) in 3 year LTROs to 523 banks within the Eurozone.
It didn't last very long and it now lives under more difficulty and eurozone
spreads have began their unfolding yet again. It was anticipated that the
institutions would apply this large amount of discounted money to buy their own
debt just as the United States' banks drilled the earnings from mortgage
supported securities sales to the Federal Reserve into US Treasuries. It all
boils down to the private sector which, ultimately, finances the government with
funds administered by the government. As the mediator of this process, the
turnover for banks is lucrative. Zero interest rates come with benefits… And
now the Federal Reserve is expected to prolong their ZIRP assistance from
mid-2013 over to 2014. And we can expect more, for sure. Look at Japan who began
with their low interest rates that were supposed to last only a bit and they
have persisted for two decades. Even the large financial corporations are
anticipating huge prices for gold in 2012: Gold man Sachs believe they will hike
to $1,810Barclays expects then to rise to $2,000, andUBS to $2,050. As long as
interest rates continue as shallow as they are, the long-term trend will be very
good for gold . Not many things are certain within the market, but the gold
price is looking to make its mark this year. Add to that the continuing debt
development, the monetary bases and central bank balance sheets, and above all,
the largely positive supply and demand tendency and what we're looking at is a
fabulous long-term trend for gold . It can only go up. Yeah! This entry was

Current Gold Prices Should Be Seen As a Blessing

2012-02-11T14:39:00.000-08:00

AppId is over the quota There is a money contraction that the Federal Reserve
believes would be restored with quantitative easing. The problem is that central
banks do not have total control as to how much should be put in along with
guaranteeing it goes where it is most needed. It would mean that the entire
banking system would have to be in complete collaboration to establish that new
money moves towards consumer and small businesses as well as the housing market.
The fact that this has not occurred is against the reasoning of quantitative
easing and with the contraction affecting all but the emerging world, the
movement has to engage all the banks within the developed world, but in its
place they're putting more wood into the fire. It is within the world markets
where the effect can be contemplated. There is an outlook of volatility that has
never existed. The United States and Britain along with the rest of the
developed world were the masters of the market from 1945 until 2010. This
allowed them a high rank globally which permitted them control over the
financial markets world-wide. It's the deprivation of power of the entire
financial world that will produce volatility and insecurity in most markets
going onward. The incompatible goals of the developed versus developing world
are establishing breakdowns that are not anticipated to be mended in the long
run. It now boils down to a fight for control of the world's wealth between
West and East unfolding where the winning side will most likely be the East. The
value of currencies will be governed by the vigor of national economies. In the
past it was a country's Balance of Payments which guided its currency's
exchange rate but it was altered when the U.S. incorporated the price of oil to
the dollar and issued its currency all around the world in spite of unrelenting
trade deficits. The States balanced the Balance of Payments of the US when
demands obligated them to invest anew in the world's leading and most liquid
markets which permitted the number of dollars to grow until it remained as the
only completely liquid and exclusive, reserve currency. It is because of this
that we now have debt-levels that are utterly disproportionate right across the
developed world. The reduction of asset values has not only damaged values, but
it has also affected confidence and faith. If interest rates were to rise
because of this perdition of credence and belief, currencies and
creditworthiness would give way. The only thing quantitative easing does is
delay the beginning of the end. But, wait! Aren't interest rates close to
zero? Shouldn't the developed world markets be soaring? They should be, but
instead they're marking time and have done that for the previous 24 months.
Equity bull markets have the propensity to move forward but no one is interested
or cares much. The center of attention is now on preventing more deflation and
expecting the banking system to stay put. The markets have been reassured by the
Federal Reserve that there'll be no interest rate hikes until 2013. The
markets should be okay until then but what happens afterwards? The sentiment is
not one of future, growth or even hope. But a transformation is on the horizon.
The emergence of Asia has caused a shift towards the East. Asia has weakened the
developed world in a host of manufactured products, intellectual costs, and
generally drawing off a great deal of wealth and growth that is deflating the
developed world. They are growing at a faster pace, developing more, and
outnumbering the developed world and can endure on a tenth of the income of what
the developed world normally need. Even if they augment the legal exchange cost
of their currency relative to others of 20, 30, or even 50% of the Chinese Yuan,
this trend will most likely prolong. What is wrong with the West? They have
become greatly reliant upon whatever determination its markets, banks, and
currencies can meet. It just so happens that the confidence they need was
severely blemished between 2007 and 2011. Because the justifications are so
fundamental, we do not anticipate this confidence to develop anew unless
there's a recovery of growth in the developed world such as their finances
being restored and asset values balanced entirely. Sadly, this would mean an end
of the emerging world, an up and down of power, wealth, and control flowing back
into the developed world. This isn't happening. We need to prepare ourselves
for the worst. Just as Europe and the United States have to confront the callous
essence of unendurable debt levels and a reduction in economic power, the
developed world needs to recognize that there'll be a move to Asian
currencies. Our side of the world will have to acknowledge waning standards of
living and market contractions unless they embrace Asian ones. The process will
continue to be agonizing, but inescapable, as China in particular evolves in
global, economic supremacy. These alterations also signify that the developed
world structures and financial instruments will also lose power, influence, and
value. The anxieties these adjustments will produce can only thrive without
market breakdowns, if the world uses non-national internationally trusted assets
to maintain values as the changes occur. Precious metals will be part of that
story. It's inevitable. Lacking the power of the developed world central
banks, the ability to influence values and prices will no longer exist. We are
certain that China will not permit the United States or Europe to control its
wealth. China also likes gold and is encouraging its citizens to buy it…a lot
of it. As of this moment, precious metals and other financial markets are in
turmoil as much as one would imagine as the world changes. The turmoil is a
blend of asset value contraction and fixed emerging world and central banks
confusion that is not influenced by price. Yet, when the dust settles, look
forward to gold and silver to go with the flow. Notwithstanding the likelihood
of additional descent, it is assumed that the further downside risks do not
merit abandoning the precious metal markets as the upside potential is so
potentially extraordinary. There is a promising future ahead for gold which is
why current gold prices should be seen as a blessing and nothing else. Tags:

Wow! Ich hätte wirklich nie gedacht, dass die amerikanische Wirtschaft so schnell wieder erholen würde. Laut den neuesten U.S. wirtschaftlichen Daten hat es ein eher zurückhaltend Rückgang der Arbeitslosenquote sowie eine enorme Steigerung des Verbraucherkredits. Interessant. In der Zwischenzeit in Europa haben Dinge schlimmer bekommen die mehrjährige hohe der Dollar gegenüber dem Euro unterstützt. Eigentlich ist es der Dollar-Sicherheit, die häufig als eines der wichtigsten Argumente bestätigt wird, die die US-Wirtschaft erholt ist. Die Wahrheit ist, dass die Wirtschaft kaum überleben ist und der Dollar klettert aufgrund einer Logik, die nicht verwandt mit ihrer wirtschaftlichen Stärke ist. Es ist wahr, dass die Eurozone und die Probleme die globale Wirtschaft beeinflussen. Es ist schon sehr anspruchsvoll für sie Entscheidungen über Grenzen und nationalen Anliegen während ihrer Verhandlungen in Auflösung begriffen sind. Und die internationalen Medien wurde mit ihnen jeden Schritt des Weges. Aus diesem Grund haben die Unruhen in Amerika zweite Stufe trotz unseres Seins wahrscheinlich schlimmer als über die Meere getroffen. Die Anlage, mit denen wir unsere Probleme (über die Druckerpresse) zu lösen, haben half nicht gezwungen, die Bedenken von Angesicht zu Angesicht zu begegnen, denen Europa zu kämpfen hatte. Diese Gelassenheit wurde als ein starker Punkt missverstanden und der Dollar hat sicheren Hafen Status als Folge genossen. Dies ist sehr Self-fulfilling in der Natur, da Anleger vom Euro zum Dollar welche dann steigt die Nachfrage spiegeln ausgeführt werden. Die Erweiterung rechtfertigt die Wahl zunächst kaufen und anschließend induziert mehr Käufer, die Nutzen aus seinen Appreciation…until suchen, die es endet. Es ist die US-Treasuries, die diese sicheren Hafen Dollar Investitionen erhalten. Folglich sind die U.S. Zinsen viel niedriger als sie alternativ wäre. Um fair zu sein, tragen die Vereinigten Staaten und Italien entsprechende Konfiguration der Staatsverschuldung. Trotz dieser Zinssätze in Washington sind derzeit 600 Basispunkte weniger als in Rom. Dies bedeutet, dass die Amerikaner können leihen und zu verbringen mehr frei. Letztlich ist diese zusätzliche Schulden finanziert Verbrauch Äquivalent zu einem Anstieg der Beschäftigung und BIP, das wiederum bedeutet, dass die positive wirtschaftliche Antwort bestätigt den Dollar zu einem repräsentativen Status, unterstützen damit den Teufelskreis. Italien wäre nicht die Mühen unterzogen werden, die sie heute haben, wenn die Preise nun so niedrig waren wie noch vor zwei Jahren. Ihre Budgets noch zähmbar sein würde und ihre Kreditkosten würde nie erhöht haben. Ebenso, wenn die Vereinigten Staaten höhere Preise hätte, würde dann unser Bild nicht so sonnig aussehen. Konzipieren Sie für eine Sekunde, wenn Preise, dass nur 200 Basispunkte Higher…that beeinträchtigen würde waren, Verbraucher, Hausbesitzer, Unternehmen und Regierungen, die sich auf preisgünstige Finanzierung verlassen. Dinge wäre für uns im Vergleich zu Europa exponentiell ärmer. Ausschließlich sprechend, und so schrecklich wie es klingen mag, sind die Probleme in Europa gut für uns. Nein, nicht wir, die Wirtschaft, um genau zu sein. Und nur für den kurzfristigen. Hinter dem Horizont, Anleihe- und mehr Geld zur Finanzierung von Ausgaben und Regierung roter Tinte nicht erleichtert die US Wirtschaft wirtschaftliche Harmonie erreichen. Würden, wie durch ein Wunder die Winde anders wehen, der Dollar würde zusammenbrechen, Zinssätze und Verbraucherpreise steigen würde und die US-Wirtschaft in der Rezession stolpern würde. Jedoch nicht Europa im Moment so stark, so dass wir nicht befürchten, dass für jetzt. But…when Wirklichkeit setzt und die Wahrheit wird bestätigt, der Absturz werden Zehnfache. Wir haben es mit Dot Com Aktien und Immobilien gelebt und die Zeit kommt für den Dollar und US-Treasuries. Abweichend von Europa wird es zusammen, wir warten immer noch auf eine Katastrophe. Aber es wird nur schlimmer, weil wir viel mehr Schulden zu bewältigen haben wird.

Gold Prices Gain on Greek Debt Deal (Update 2)

2012-02-11T05:09:00.002-08:00

AppId is over the quota The Street By Alix Steel February 9, 2012 NEW YORK
(TheStreet ) — Gold prices were popping higher after Greece secured a debt
deal and as the Bank of England pumped more money into the system. Gold for
April delivery was up $19.60 at $1,750.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the
New York Mercantile Exchange. The gold price has traded as high as $1,755.50 and
as low as $1,728.30 an ounce while the spot price was adding $16, according to
Kitco's gold index. Silver prices were 58 cents higher at $34.28 an ounce
while the U.S. dollar index was 0.26% lower at $78.49. Gold prices popped on the
news that Greece has secured a debt deal, which would implement austerity
measures and secure its second bailout of 130 billion euros. Gold were volatile
on the news initially popping, then giving back gains then moving firmly higher.
Once gold crossed the $1,750 its also possible that buy stops were triggered
where traders buy gold at this predetermined price. The question still remains
— is this enough to save Greece or will the country have to leave the euro.
The country still has to come to a bond swap deal with private bondholders and
the European Central Bank to help its debt load. On the one hand, if Greece is
forced to leave the euro the currency could rally, "it's like trimming the
cancer off," says Phil Streible, senior commodities broker at RJO Futures, and
would most likely support gold . Although if risk appetite returns in full
force, gold might be forgotten as a safe haven asset. If Greece leaves the euro
and all hell breaks loose and the euro plummets, gold could sink along with it
at least in the short term. Mario Draghi, head of the ECB, already said in a
press conference today that the economic outlook remains "uncertain" and
"downside risks remain." Also supporting gold was the news that the Bank of
England added to its quantitative easing program by 50 billion pounds bringing
the total to 325 billion pounds. The central bank left interested rates
unchanged at 0.5% while the European Central Bank left its rate at 1%. Gold
prices rose slowly after the news, but many experts had been expecting a bigger
pop in the price with central banks unabashedly pumping money into the system.
"The reality is is that it's all about the euro," says Streible, "with
the fragile state all of Europe is in right now, any sign of quantitative
easing, or QE, is probably too little at this point … more types of stimulus
plans means more spending cuts are soon to follow." More stimulus can trigger
a rush into gold as a hard asset, an alternative to the paper currency being
devalued, but austerity measures bring in the deflation worry, where gold tends
to selloff initially. Rick Trotman, senior research analyst at MLV & Co., thinks
that gold prices will do fine this year. "I don't expect a blockbuster year
but ending the year between $1,700-$1,800 an ounce is realistic." Trotman does
think that if Greece secures its second bailout and nails down a debt deal it
would really depend on how good or bad that deal is. "If everyone is really
happy with it, gold could trade down," he says, "but if it looks good then
Portugal will decide to step up to the plate as well hoping to get a really good
deal and gold would trade up on that." Trotman also says gold will start
looking to the U.S. presidential elections in November. Trotman suggests that if
the polls keep leaning towards President Obama that that would be good for gold
as "Democrats would spend a lot of money," as the dollar is devalued gold
rises in response. "A Republican President would be bad for the price of gold
," asserts Trotman. James Steel, analyst at HSBC in a recent 2012 gold outlook
report says that it's not just the U.S. going through an election cycle.
"The political process will result in the election or selection of a hose of
leaders in countries that represent more than 50% of the world's GDP." The
political upheaval ranges from the U.S. to France to Egypt to Russia.
"Uncertainty about changes in government may boost safe-haven demand for gold
, in our view." Another wild card playing out for gold Thursday was the news
that inflation in China rose to a three month high at 4.5%. The higher reading
is good for gold as it might push consumers into buying the precious metal as a
safer place to invest as real interest rates are a negative 1%. However, the
higher reading might also confirm the central bank's reluctance to lower
interest rates, to firmly commit to a loose monetary policy. China has been
pushing its banks to lend more into order to avoid a hard landing, or strong
slowing of growth. M2 supply in the country, cash in circulation plus savings,
checking and any travelers checks, grew 13.6% at the end of 2011 to 85.16
trillion yuan. This trend will need to continue to support strong gold buying.
The country imported 427 tons of gold in 2011 and consumed 787 tons. Gold mining
stocks were rallying Thursday. Barrick Gold was up more than 1% at $49.64 while
Newmont Mining was 0.64% higher at $61.90. Other gold stocks, Gold corp and
Yamana Gold were trading higher at $47.63 and $16.676 respectively. View the
