7 Utility Dividend Stocks Fueled On Solid Profitability

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 11:29 AM PDT

By ZetaKap:

When investors think up investment ideas holding exciting, untapped possibilities, 'utilities' is not the first idea that comes to mind. But because it is often the overlooked sectors that can reap the highest rewards, today we focused on stocks in the utility arena, particularly on those that pay handsome dividends back to investors. When looking for smart utility picks today, we implemented one of the key principles of fundamental analysis: a focus on profitability. With this idea in mind, we searched for profitable utility companies that also have strong analyst ratings, which can indicate that the companies perform well due to a variety of other reasons beyond profitability. Concluding our search, we derived a short list that warrants further investigation and due diligence.

The Net Margin is a profitability metric that illustrates, by percentage, how much of every dollar earned gets turned into a bottom line profit. This is just

Bulls Still In Control, But Time Is Running Out

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 11:12 AM PDT

Open ended QE, which I expect to begin at the October FOMC meeting, is going to be the driver of what should be an inflationary spiral, culminating with a parabolic move in the CRB index and the next leg up in the secular gold bull (probably to $3,500-$4,000).

When To Buy Freeport-McMoRan?

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 10:31 AM PDT

By Shaun Connell:

Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has had a nice price boost over the last month, but is still down well over 15% over the last year. The reason the price is struggling is because the company has either suffered or just stagnated, with lower demand for copper and a mostly halting gold price.

Even though the company has paid a nice regular healthy dividend for a couple of years, they paid nothing in 2009 while they experienced healthy stock price appreciation, and should be seen not as a dividend company for a safe bet, but as a long-term speculation where it's mostly a question of timing.

Why The Languishing Price

The CEO of the company said a couple of weeks ago that China's slowdown hadn't hit the company's copper production much at all:

There is slowdown in China, but we're not seeing it as much in copper as other areas.

Still, even after

Europe and the Olympics

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 08:36 AM PDT

A surprising medal table, circulated on the Internet in recent days, showed a single podium count for all of the EU countries at the London Olympics. As it stands, if the EU had an Olympic delegation it would far outrank all other competitors, with, at the time of writing, close to twice as many gold medals as China and the United States combined...

World's ten biggest gold mines

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 07:24 AM PDT

World's ten biggest gold mines - three mining majors dominate list

The world's largest gold producer last year was actually a copper mine. Of the others Barrick Gold dominates the list along with AngloGold Ashanti and Newmont.

Author: Cole Latimer
Posted: Monday , 13 Aug 2012


Sydney (Australian Mining) -
A listing of the world's ten largest gold mines by gold output according to 2011 production figures and researched by Australian Mining - minor edits from Mineweb

1. Grasberg Mine (Indonesia)
The world's largest gold mine by size and output, the Grasberg gold mine in Indonesia had an output 1,444,000 ounces of gold last year. It is also the world's third largest copper mine, and has close to 20 000 employees.
2. Cortez (U.S.A.)
Barrick Gold' largest producing mine in Nevada, USA. In 2011 it had gold production of 1,421,000 ounces.
It is made up of the Pipeline and South Pipeline deposits and the Cortez Hills deposit. The Pipeline and South Pipeline are open pit mines, and the Cortez Hills deposit, currently under construction will utilise both underground and open pit mining.
Cortez has been open longer than any other gold mine in Nevada, having been in operation since 1862.
3. Yanacocha (Peru)
Peru makes the list with Newmont's Yanacocha gold mine, located in Cajamarca Province. It has produced more than US$7 billion worth of gold to date.
In 2011 it had an output of 1,293,000 ounces of gold.
4. Goldstrike (U.S.A.)
The second American mine to make it into the list. Run by Barrick Gold in Nevada, the mine had an output of 1,088,000 ounces in 2011.
Like the U.S. No. 1 it is located on the Carlin Trend, which is the most prolific gold mining district in the Western Hemisphere.
The Goldstrike operation includes the Betze-Post open pit mine and the Meikle and Rodeo underground mines which are located just north of the Betze-Post pit, along the same mineralized trend.
5. Veladero (Argentina)
Barrick has again made it into the list with the Veladero gold mine in San Juan, Argentina. It is immediately to the south of Barrick's Pascua-Lama property currently under development.
It is a conventional open cut operation.
It had an output of 957,000 ounces last year, and as of December 31 had reserves of 10.6 million ounces.
6. Vaal River (South Africa)
An underground gold operation run by Anglogold Ashanti. The operation consists of the Great Noligwa, Kopanang, and Moab Khotsong shafts, and various surface operations.
It produced 831,000 ounces in 2011.
7. The Super Pit ( Kalgoorlie-Boulder, WA, Australia)
This massive open cut is one of the main attractions in Kalgoorlie. Run by Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (a joint venture owned by Newmont and Barrick) the operation an produce around 850,000 ounces of gold annually and is the largest open pit mine in Australia.2011 gold output was 794,000 ounces
8. West Wits (South Africa)
Also operated by Anglogold Ashanti, this is another South African underground operation and is currently the world's deepest mining operation (formerly known as Western Deep Levels).
Located in the West Wits goldfields west of Johannesburg, it consists of the TauTona mine (or Western Deep No.3 Shaft, which is currently the world's deepest mine), the Mponeng, and Savuka shafts.
As of 2011 it produced 792,000 ounces.
9. Lagunas Norte (Peru)
Another mine owned by Barrick. Located in the north of the country, it lies just over four kilometres above sea level. In 2011 it produced 763,000 ounces of gold, and is undergoing an expansion project which will increase production as early as 2016.
10. Boddington mine (Boddington, WA, Australia)
Run by Newmont, the Boddington gold mine is actually one of Australia's newest gold mines, beginning production in 2009. At the end of 2010 it had reserves of 20 million ounces of gold and 2.4 billion pounds of copper. It produced 741,000 ounces of gold in 2011.

Bert Dohmen: Coming Up−The Buying Opportunity of a Lifetime in Gold

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:42 AM PDT

from financialsense.com:

Jim is pleased to welcome back Bert Dohmen from Dohmen Capital and The Wellington Letter this week. Bert believes that we are coming up on a tremendous buying opportunity in the gold market as he sees much higher prices longer term. He also believes the general market is very difficult to short, as the risk-on, risk-off trades, and increased volatility make shorting very difficult. Ryan Puplava checks in with the week's Market Wrap-up, Rob Bernard discusses bonds and interest rates in the Fixed Income Report and Jim will take your q-calls this segment.

Ryan Puplava joined PFS Group in 1995. He is Senior Trading Manager and works closely with Jim Puplava on PFS Group's Growth investment objective. He also contributes a monthly Market Observation to Financial Sense and co-authors In the Know—a weekly communication for Jim Puplava's clients only—with other members of the trading staff.

And Then There Is Disaster C

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:40 AM PDT

from news.goldseek.com:

[...] I have contended for some time that Europe is faced with two choices: Disaster A, which is the break-up of the eurozone, or Disaster B, which is the creation of a fiscal union, which keeps the euro more or less intact. Over the last few months I have come to realize that there is indeed a third option, which now looks increasingly possible. This is rather sad, as the third option is just an even worse Disaster C. Each choice carries with it its own unique set of problems, but the outcome of any of the choices will be that the people of Europe face a serious recession, if not a depression. This will impact global growth for more than a short time and, depending on the choice, could plunge the world into a crisis as bad as or worse than the recent credit crisis. In today's letter we look at all three choices, meanwhile musing on how we arrived at the bottom of such a deep hole, shovels flailing.

People Are Frightened, Money Pouring Into Switzerland &amp; Gold

from kingworldnews.com:

With continued volatility in global markets, including gold and silver, today King World News interviewed one of the legends in the gold world, Keith Barron. Barron consults with major gold companies around the world, as well as major brokerage houses, and he is also responsible for one of the largest gold discoveries in the last quarter century, a remarkable 14 million ounces of gold.

Here is what Barron had to say about the ongoing crisis in Europe: "Well, there are a lot of scared people here. There is a lot of money that's been pouring into Switzerland and the Swiss franc. As you are aware, the Swiss National Bank has pegged the Swiss franc to the euro, so there is tremendous pressure on the franc."

Anniversary of the Credit Crunch

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:31 AM PDT

from goldmoney.com:

We are coming up to the fifth anniversary of the financial crisis, at least for the UK's banking system, because it was five years ago that anxious depositors were queuing up to withdraw their money from Northern Rock, leading to its inevitable rescue by the tax-payer. Anniversaries are often a time for reflection. The Northern Rock failure marked the popping of the UK's residential property bubble. The signs of excessive valuation were all there, particularly speculation in the buy-to-let market, wide-spread public participation in a "sure thing", and Northern Rock offering loans with a loan-to-value of 120%. The same extremes of sentiment were visible in the US where there was a lending frenzy on the false assumption that a diverse portfolio of mortgages was somehow risk-free.

Warning: Get Your Money Out: “All Legal Bank Deposit Protections Are Now Officially Gone”

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:21 AM PDT

from shtfplan.com:

Former money manager Ann Barnhardt, who in November of 2011 made the decision to cease operations of her brokerage firm and return funds to her customers citing "systemic" problems within the entire financial industry, has issued a new warning about the stability of US banks and the safety of individual deposit accounts.

The warning, stemming from a recent federal appeals court ruling surrounding customer funds lost during the 2007 collapse of Chicago futures broker Sentinel, indicates that individuals who lose deposited funds because a financial institution improperly manages that money, even if those funds are supposed to be "segregated" from other operations of the firm, are essentially left with no recourse if the firm goes belly-up. According to the court, a misallocation of those customer funds, "is not, on its own, sufficient to rule as a matter of law that Sentinel acted 'with actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud' its customers."

Are The Government And The Big Banks Quietly Preparing For An Imminent Financial Collapse?

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:17 AM PDT

from theeconomiccollapseblog.com:

Something really strange appears to be happening. All over the globe, governments and big banks are acting as if they are anticipating an imminent financial collapse. Unfortunately, we are not privy to the quiet conversations that are taking place in corporate boardrooms and in the halls of power in places such as Washington D.C. and London, so all we can do is try to make sense of all the clues that are all around us. Of course it is completely possible to misinterpret these clues, but sticking our heads in the sand is not going to do any good either. Last week, it was revealed that the U.S. government has been secretly directing five of the biggest banks in America "to develop plans for staving off collapse" for the last two years. By itself, that wouldn't be that big of a deal. But when you add that piece to the dozens of other clues of imminent financial collapse, a very troubling picture begins to emerge. Over the past 12 months, hundreds of banking executives have been resigning, corporate insiders have been selling off enormous amounts of stock, and I have been personally told that a significant number of Wall Street bankers have been shopping for "prepper properties" in rural communities this summer. Meanwhile, there have been reports that the U.S. government has been stockpiling food and ammunition, and Barack Obama has been signing a whole bunch of executive orders that would potentially be implemented in the event of a major meltdown of society. So what does all of this mean? It could mean something or it could mean nothing. What we do know is that a financial collapse is coming at some point. Over the past 40 years, the total amount of all debt in the United States has grown from about 2 trillion dollars to nearly 55 trillion dollars. That is a recipe for financial armageddon, and it is inevitable that this gigantic bubble of debt is going to burst at some point.

Fraud Decriminalized with William Black

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:17 AM PDT

Professor William Black is a former bank regulator and professor of law and economics. He is also an outspoken critic of Wall Street bankers, and he says, "Outright fraud caused the great recession and they are able to do it now with impunity." Not a single financial elite that caused the crisis has gone to jail. Because laws are not enforced and crooked bankers are allow to do whatever they wish, Black says "Each crisis is getting bigger by an order of magnitude." Meaning the next financial meltdown is assured to be much greater that the last. Join Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog.com as he goes One-on-One with Professor William Black.

On Gold’s Recent Resilience

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:15 AM PDT

from zerohedge.com:

Some might be surprised by the title's positivity, but while the barbarous relic has meandered in an ever-compressing (triangle pattern) series of waves in the last few months, it has rather notably outperformed relative to global risk aversion, CFTC positioning, and central bank balance sheet dynamics – especially in the last few weeks. Whether the yellow metal's zero-yield is now 'technically' attractive to safe-haven flows relative to the NIRPs of Germany and Switzerland – or in fundamental anticipation of the next bout of central bank largesse, Citi's global macro strategy group remain bullish of the precious metal and the charts below suggest they are not alone.

The Keys To Understanding the Collapse of the Status Quo: Credibility and Expectations

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:13 AM PDT

from oftwominds.com:

When expectations are raised to impossible heights based on the promise of exponential financialization, the credibility of the Status Quo is doomed.

Data is important, but not all trends can be quantified. Longtime readers know that I value data and often use charts to explain the forces of transition/collapse. But there are profound dynamics that are not easily quantified, instances in which quantification may obscure our understanding.

Credibility and expectations are two such dynamics. Both credibility and expectations are very real forces, despite their status as inner states immune to direct measurement.

Happiness is only legacy from Olympics

Posted: 13 Aug 2012 04:16 AM PDT

For years, a favourite word of London's Olympic organisers has been "legacy". The games were not just meant to be a fortnight of joy, but rather they would boost Britain's economy and "inspire a generation" to play sport. David Cameron, prime minister, has named Lord Coe, chairman of the London organising committee, as the country's Olympic legacy ambassador, and spoke of "making sure we turn these games into gold for Britain"...

Gold: Lover or Fighter?

Precious metals have benefited from monetary easing programs, but they are now finding out how hard it is to fight central banks. While some people have a love or hate relationship with gold, the precious metal itself is much closer to a lover than a fighter.
