End Of An Era For Gold Investors Posted: 03 Aug 2012 12:27 PM PDT By Michael Allen: The real price of gold is near the highest price it has been since the price was allowed to float in 1969. The last time gold was this high, the metal spent the next 12 years declining and did not hit bottom until it has lost 82% of its value in real terms. There is no really good reason to believe that the same exact pattern will be repeated this time, but we can be fairly certain that many of the factors that drove gold to the current heights are either unsustainable or that there exist other hedging instruments that are both cheaper and more effective. Gold might still go higher, but it is no longer a one way ticket. In the next decade, investors will need to hold a wider variety of alternative assets to hedge their traditional investments, and they will need to trade more frequently than in Complete Story » |
Green Mountain Finally Ready To Roar Again Posted: 03 Aug 2012 11:44 AM PDT By Ryan Canady: From its spectacular climb to north of $100 a share in 2011 to its very public collapse to below $20 a share just recently, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) has been a stock that has had a very similar trajectory to some other recent high fliers turned disappointments. Namely, they have followed a similar path in terms of stock valuation as companies such as Netflix (NFLX) and Research in Motion (RIMM). However, although there are still certainly very big question marks for those companies, Green Mountain may finally be at an attractive price for investors again. The Past Green Mountain Coffee Roasters gained a lot of its attention from its revolutionary coffee product known as K-Cups. When these K-Cups are used in Keurig (a brand which Green Mountain wholly owns) coffee makers, they produce individual cups of coffee or other hot beverages that consumers can enjoy. Green Mountain had business Complete Story » |
Bond Market Current: Today's 5 Top-Yielding T-Bills Posted: 03 Aug 2012 11:26 AM PDT By Rajiv Tarigopula: With global macroeconomic uncertainty continuing and recent announcements of the U.S. Treasury's intent to offer floating-rate securities next year, there has been a great deal of analysis surrounding fixed-income sovereign debt offerings lately. Here's a quick look at today's top five yielding Treasury bills on the bond market and their important characteristics, sorted by descending yield to maturity: 1) T-BOND (30YR) CUSIP 912810QW1
In my view, this T-Bond offering is worth purchase for investors looking to delve into the Treasury market. The near-3% yield and virtually assured liquidity benefits offered more than justify purchase at these levels. At the very least, reallocating some assets toward more conservative Complete Story » |
GDAY, CROC: ProShares Launches A Pair Of Leveraged Currency Funds Down Under Posted: 03 Aug 2012 11:23 AM PDT By Ron Rowland: Americans wishing to trade the U.S./Aussie exchange rate can now use a new leveraged ETF pair from ProShares. ProShares Ultra Australian Dollar (GDAY) targets 2x the daily change and ProShares UltraShort Australian Dollar (CROC) offers -2x inverse daily exposure to the same benchmark. Both launched on NYSE Arca on 7/19/2012. ProShares found an unfilled niche with GDAY (GDAY overview) and CROC (CROC overview). They are the first leveraged products based on the Australian Dollar. CROC is the first inverse Aussie Dollar fund, leveraged or not. Australia's economy is increasingly tied less to the gasping developed world and more to fast-growing China. A large part of the country's raw material exports go to China, India, and other Asian markets. Analysis/Opinion: Access to the Aussie via ProShares carries a steep 0.95% annual expense ratio. Like most leveraged ETFs and ETNs, GDAY and CROC feature a daily leverage reset mechanism. Compounding will cause Complete Story » |
Sunshine Profits: Two Disturbing Gold Charts Posted: 03 Aug 2012 11:10 AM PDT
So, gold didn't move below $1,500 and it rallied recently – the worst is behind us, right? It might be, but there are reasons to think otherwise and in today's essay we will feature two charts (courtesy by http://stockcharts.com) that should make you think twice before investing your whole capital in the gold market. The first one features the Dow:Gold ratio. The ratio appears to have broken above the declining resistance line. This is a bearish sign for gold relative to stocks, as it indicates that stocks will outperform the yellow metal. Please note that gold topped when this ratio bottomed and as the latter rallied, the former declined. The ratio consolidated in the past few months (as gold did), but since the consolidation took place above the declining resistance line, it confirms the breakout and makes the situation more bullish for the ratio and more bearish for gold. Unfortunately (for those who "like" gold – we fall into this category), the next resistance level is quite far from where the ratio is today and this translates into a possibility of a significant decline in gold. The second chart for today is the ratio of gold to prices of corporate bonds. In short, this ratio tells you how gold performed relative to corporate bonds. This chart provides a clear bull market picture with several more or less significant corrections along the way. The "problem" here is that gold has broken two major support lines and has been trading below them for several weeks, which means that these breakdowns were verified. This suggests that the decline is quite likely to continue and since this ratio moved very much in tune with the price of gold (no wonder – gold is in the numerator of the ratio), it serves as an indication that gold might decline as well. Summing up, positive long-term fundamentals for gold are in place and we will most probably see much higher gold prices in a few years, however, the medium term is not that clear and we believe that caution is necessary.

Gold and Silver Regaining Footing As Treasuries Make Bearish Reversal Posted: 03 Aug 2012 11:07 AM PDT

U.S. DOLLAR prices quoted for gold bullion on the wholesale market rose to $1596 an ounce during Friday morning's London trading, recovering some ground following three days of losses, as stock markets also rebounded ahead of the release of US nonfarm payrolls data later today. Silver bullion climbed back above $27.30 per ounce, in line with where it closed two weeks ago, while other industrial commodities also edged higher. Heading into the weekend, gold bullion looked set for a 1.7% weekly loss by Friday lunchtime in London. Gold prices fell sharply on Wednesday following a better-than-expected ADP Employment report, a privately-produced precursor to today's official nonfarms figure. Gold then fell again Thursday along with the Euro, after the European Central Bank opted to leave interest rates on hold and, like the Federal Reserve a day earlier, announced no new stimulus measures. "While this week's price behavior highlights that investors are rather quick to get out, it's important to remember that gold is back to levels it was trading at just last week," says a note from UBS. "Our more positive outlook…still stands, especially with the potential for central banks to act remaining elevated." The European Central Bank voted to leave interest rates on hold at a record low of 0.75% Thursday. ECB president Mario Draghi said last week that his institution would do "whatever it takes to preserve the Euro" – comments widely-taken to mean the ECB could intervene in sovereign bond markets with the aim of reducing borrowing costs. At Thursday's press conference however few specifics were given as to what actions the ECB might take. "Various committees will now review the various non-standard policy options," Draghi told reporters. "Policymakers in the Euro area need to push ahead with fiscal consolidation, structural reform and European institution-building with great determination." Draghi acknowledged that "implementation [of such measures] takes time and financial markets often only adjust once success becomes clearly visible", adding that governments need to "stand ready to activate [Eurozone bailout funds] the EFSF/ESM in the bond market". The ECB chief expressed surprise when asked whether the European Stability Mechanism, the permanent bailout fund being phased in to replace the European Financial Stability Facility, should be granted a banking license to enable it to borrow from the ECB and this leverage the planned €500 billion lending capacity the ESM will eventually have. "I have said at least twice," replied Draghi, "that the current design of the ESM does not allow it to be recognized as a suitable counterparty [for the ECB]." Responding to a question about ECB Governing Council member Jens Weidmann, president of Germany's Bundesbank, Draghi agreed that Weidmann and the Bundesbank "have their reservations about programs that envisage buying bonds". "Although [Governing Council members] are here in a personal capacity and we should never forget that," he added. "The ECB can't just take random measures against the Bundesbank's will," says Alexander Krueger, chief economist at Bankhaus Lampe in Dusseldorf. "That's why investors are disappointed…the country with the largest economy needs to be part of any package." "[The Bundesbank] can talk, scream and yell, but there is not much they can do," counters Charles Wyplosz, professor of international economics at the University of Geneva. "Germany's hegemony is not what it seems," agrees Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph. "The Germans are holding a gun to the head of the Latins, but the Latins are also holding a gun to German heads…they can call Germany's strategic bluff by mobilizing their majority power on the ECB council to force reflation over a German veto." Benchmark 10-Year yields on Spanish bonds rose back above 7% yesterday, while 10-Year Italian yields rose back above 6% and stock markets fell. "Draghi's comments yesterday didn't help investors to gauge the market's direction," says Zurich-based hedge fund manager Trung-Tin Nguyen. "Hence US data are in focus today, with investors hoping to weigh whether or not further action by the Fed can be expected soon in case of worse-than-expected numbers, or, as a silver lining, to see if the US economy is recovering." The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is due to publish the latest Employment Situation report later today, which includes July's nonfarm payrolls number showing how many private sector nonagricultural jobs the economy added last month. Elsewhere in the US, "the federal government has been quietly completing an audit of US gold stored at the New York Fed," the LA Times reports. The Treasury Department says the results will be announced by the end of the year. Derivatives exchange operator CME Group meantime has said it will cut its margins for silver futures contracts for the third time since February, newswire Reuters reports.

Is the Gold Mining Sector Actually Healthy? Posted: 03 Aug 2012 09:23 AM PDT In 2011 gold-mine production came in at an all-time record high. And in 2012 experts anticipate production to be even higher, edging above the previous year's 87m-ounce tally. From the looks of it, the major source of gold's supply is in fine fettle. |

Swiss Gold Repatriation Movement Leader Interviewed Posted: 03 Aug 2012 07:45 AM PDT from caseyresearch.com: Yesterday in Gold and Silver The gold price struggled to stay above the $1,600 mark through most of Far East and London trading during their Thursday. But a rally began shortly before 1:00 p.m. in London…8:00 a.m. in New York…and by the time the high tick of the day was in about forty-five minutes later, gold had reached $1,616.60 spot. But that's as high as it was allowed to get before it got sold down hard…and that, as they say, was that. From there, gold got sold progressively lower until around 12:30 p.m. Eastern time…which appeared to be its low of the day at $1,582.60…and then gained back a handful of dollars going in the close of the New York trading session.

Conflicts & Pressure Points Posted: 03 Aug 2012 07:43 AM PDT from news.goldseek.com: Some extremely powerful differentials in power are setting themselves up, in a manner never seen before in modern history. Those who dismiss the uniqueness of the situation are those who continually are surprised by events as they unfold. The pressure features the managers of the system, complete with corruption and fraud with official coverups in a never-ending sequence of crime scenes, pitted against the forces of justice and fair markets. Not a single fair market exists in USDollar terms. In pure Orwellian style, every single market has a US-based or London-based financial engineer at a control panel doing duty in price intervention. The Western defenders of the syndicate do not wish for the price structure to reflect the reality of physical shortage or the bounty of paper-based surplus, for the currencies to reflect true toxic value, and for the discovery price systems to reflect the raids of private accounts. The system is broken, and the pressure is building. Keep on reading @ news.goldseek.com |

Gold Looks Set for Weekly Loss Ahead of Jobs Release Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:24 AM PDT US dollar prices quoted for gold bullion on the wholesale market rose to $1,596 an ounce during Friday morning's London trading, recovering some ground following three days of losses, as stock markets also rebounded ahead of the release of US nonfarm payrolls data. |
Draghi Disappoints & IMF Warns of US Fiscal Cliff Posted: 03 Aug 2012 05:14 AM PDT Gold traded sideways on Friday, hovering after its four days of losses when the ECB fell short of any immediate bold action to help the euro-zone debt crisis. ECB President Draghi's comment "to do anything it takes" was a clear example of over promising and under delivering. |
Gold Investors Still Wait for Europe's Implementation Posted: 03 Aug 2012 04:59 AM PDT Traders, who were looking for a quick fix, were clearly disappointed when the ECB president did not follow up with any concrete steps after pronouncing last week that he would do everything to save the euro. |
