The week ended the 22nd December saw one of the signatories of the Central Bank Gold Agreement sell and another BUY gold leaving a net sale of 2.7 tonnes of gold.
Yes, the holidays began at the end of last week even for the Central Banks, so what better time to throw the cat amongt the pigeons. In the seemingly innocuous statement above it seems that we are seeing a change in policy by European Central Banks that we have been expecting should happen, but in these bureaucratic halls felt that the issue was too stacked against it happening without a public drama. If this is the case it has been announced without a whisper, simply as part of their weekly report. The information is huge and in a nutshell is:
One Signatory to the Central Bank Gold Agreement has bought gold! Full Story |

There is no arguing that the gold-stock sector has been one of the hottest in the financial markets since the turn of the century. The venerable HUI gold-stock index has seen a nearly 1,000% rise from trough to peak in the last six years and the stocks that comprise it have won investors and speculators legendary gains. Within the gold-stock world though lies a sub-sector that is not represented by an index and really has no boundary on its potential. Like an underground blood-sport event or a big-city basement casino, junior gold stocks fly under the radar and only those investors who actively seek this realm may successfully enter it.

The current analysis leads us to believe that on a world wide basis the markets are frothing, there is just too much money sloshing into the financial markets and a nice breather is needed now. We will have to see how the international markets react as they will provide valuable info on how the markets here in the United States will react. If the overseas markets start to crash then we can more or less expect the same thing here. Right now it looks like the Dow is due for a pretty decent pull back. This pull back though has taken quite a bit of time to manifest itself and when it does it will start very suddenly. Full Story |

I’ll let you in on a little secret. In the world of Asset Management the deals, the big money flow, the exciting speculative activity always happens near the top of the market. Have you ever wondered why there is no merger mania going on in the Junior Gold Sector? Or how about in the Small Cap stock sector? I’ll tell you why because the speculative fever just isn’t there as it is in the Big Caps. Full Story |

The Russian Energy Inc powerhouse is taking shape, and man oh man, it is a formidable juggernaut capable of disrupting the global balance of power. Major Western energy giants struggle to keep pace, join forces in incestuous unconstructive fashion, and have become increasingly “bit players” in the scheme of things. The Seven Sisters from the US & Western Europe seem like rented high school prom queens by comparison. The Russian dames are supermodels on the runway, not much on earning style points (rude, pushy, intimidating) but incredibly impressive chassis to behold (nice bodies) !!! Full Story |

It's really quite past time to tame the United States Mint. First the SOBs went for Bernard Von Nothaus's jugular by unilaterally declaring the silver Liberty dollars illegal for tender. And now, they propose to tell us exactly what we can and cannot do with our pennies and nickels. Full Story |

Emerging markets have by and large boomed during 2007. With indices such as India's Sensex up more than 50% on the year, though the year ends on a cautionary note ,given the recent actions by Thailand's regime that sent their stock market reeling. So even though the long-term fundamentals are still strong for India, China, Russia, Brazil etc, the first half of 2007 could become a corrective period for the emerging markets, as they end the year on high valuations and growth expectations.

It then fell back off a couple dollars, rebounded, and ended a little over a dollar off of its highs with a decent gain. Silver rose about 5 cents in Asia before it added another 20 cents in London, but it then erased most of those gains in morning New York trade ahead of a rally into the close that left it with a gain of over 1%.

Your editor has been walking this earth perhaps a decade or more less than James Dines, but I have been around as an adult watching markets since the late 1960s and I would have to agree with James Dines that there has never been a market like the current uranium market. What is most remarkable is that even when oil and gas markets have run through considerable corrections, uranium prices have just kept on rising. Full Story |

With all the difference of opinions from so called “experts” on how to invest your capital, how does an investor cut through the “noise” to get a reasonable return on their investment? Is investing really that complicated? Can the average person make money in the markets? In our opinion it can be much easier than most people think. Full Story |

2006 was a year of extreme volatility in the global money markets. Once again, the biggest stock market winners were the emerging giants of Brazil, China, India, and Russia, the so-called BRIC countries. Together, the BRIC account for 50% of the world's population, yet their rapidly growing economies account for only 13% of global economic output. The four emerging markets have been star performers, while European, Japanese and the US markets lag behind their blazing trail. Full Story |

In his missive of December 19, 2006, Mr. Szabo discusses various conspiracy theories concerning the precious metals and monetary theory in general. The following rejoinder addresses several of the issues Mr. Szabo raises.

Instead, two paragraphs will be quoted, and a discussion of the main points will then be offered. At the end there are three additional quotes taken from the same report. Full Story |

UK Interest rates end 2006 at 5%, up 0.5% on the years low of 4.5%, as the bank of England strives to bring inflation back under control.

The breakdown in the resource sectors this week has postponed the continuation of the resource bull market. Whether this is a legit breakdown or just a false break, we don’t know. The prudent thing to do is to close all existing positions and watch from the sideline. We can always buy back, but I will never allow myself or any subscribers to suffer a double digit drawdown.

Silver has been outperforming gold, albeit with fits and hesitations since 1990 when the ratio went to just over 100. Since 2003 the Ratio favoring silver has declined from 84 to about 48 where it is today. We can't repeat history exactly, but we certainly should use it as a guide. The cyclical trough for the Ratio was "14" in 1980. Full Story |
