How Low Can They Go?—Gold Breaking Points: Killian Charles

Brian Sylvester of The Gold Report (4/22/13)

Killian Charles, an analyst with Industrial Alliance in Montreal, isn’t too concerned if the gold price hits $1,300 an ounce or even $1,000. He’s more concerned with the gold breaking point. How low can the gold price go without breaking a project? Investors will be surprised to know that a wealth of junior miners are lean [...]

The Great Crash of 1987 Is Going To Happen Again As We’re Dealing With Much Worse Behaviour And Much Bigger Problems 25 Years Later

How ‘Black Monday’ Sowed The Seeds Of The Current Financial Crisis
…

Stock market historian David Schwartz says: “The central bankers, whether they admitted it or not, were taking it on themselves to keep the markets afloat. That caused two things. Investors believed they would be rescued if things went bad, which boosted share prices. And the stimuli had knock-on effects, so the stimulus provided in the late 1990s [during the Asian and LTCM [...]

Billionaire investor Sam Zell: Stocks should be 35% lower

From Newsmax:

The United States is in danger of falling into another recession, as monetary-stimulus measures are artificially pumping up stock prices well above where they should be and doing nothing for the fundamental economy, said billionaire real-estate magnate Sam Zell.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is currently trading around 13,515, thanks mainly to Federal Reserve intervention, but strip out monetary support, and the index would likely fall more than 4,000 points [...]

Forget USA and Europe for a moment, China is CRASHING!!!

China’s Economy Slows for 11th Month!

Asian shares extended losses on Thursday after data indicated little respite for Chinese manufacturers, suggesting growth in the world’s second-largest economy slowed further in the third quarter.

‘Synchronized recession’ that’s a fucking PC way of saying ‘global depression’. You have to love the optimism of the average American, go to WalMart and watch the welfare trash of every color just spend, spend, spend.

Meanwhile, producers, like myself, [...]

Jim Chanos: China is a roach motel… Get out now

From Newsmax:

Investors holding Chinese equities should sell now, and those considering entering the Asian giant’s stock markets hoping recovery will bring up share prices should stay away, said Jim Chanos, a hedge-fund manager at Kynikos Associates.

The Chinese economy is deteriorating, and Beijing might take steps to make it appear otherwise via monetary policy measures like cutting interest rates or reserve requirements, but those who are caught in equities markets wishing [...]

Fidelity: Dividend investors have nothing to fear from the “fiscal cliff”

From The Reformed Broker:

We get asked about the fiscal cliff’s potential impact on the dividend-centric model portfolios we run almost every day.

As a refresher: If nothing is done and the Bush tax cuts sunset, dividend income will begin to be taxed at ordinary income again as opposed to the 15% rate we currently enjoy. The fear is, if dividend stocks lose this advantage, they will be sold off come January. [...]

Priced For Collapse, The Opportunity Of The Decade – Peter Schiff

Where is the gold price today? If you’re like many Americans, you have no idea whether it went up, down, or sideways. Fortunately, I know my readers to be more informed – you likely know that after falling from almost $1900, gold has been trapped around $1600 since early May. But you may still be curious why despite continued money-printing and abysmal US economic reports, gold hasn’t been able to [...]

Computers on Wall Street are Buying and Selling to Themselves

Liberty Blitzkrieg
June 28, 2012

As if we needed another story to further solidify the running joke that has become the U.S. stock market. In this article from Bloomberg we find out that:

High-frequency trading firms are drawing scrutiny from U.S. regulators seeking evidence that they may be distorting market prices by conducting transactions with themselves, said two people with knowledge of the matter.

But fear not America, the SEC is on the case!

Household net worth dropped by a staggering 35% in five years to 2010 as recession decimated economy

U.S. households saw their wealth drop by more than a third between 2005 and 2010 as home values and share prices plummeted.

The dramatic decrease over the five-year period- which included the recession that hit in 2008- left many families with weak safety nets to weather a harsh economic environment.

The median household net worth dived 35 per cent to $66,740 in 2010, the Census Bureau said in a report on Monday.

Biderman Sees Post-Facebook Euphoria Rally Fading Quickly To Dysphoria

Supply and Demand are what drive share prices in the stock market and Chrales Biderman of TrimTabs takes to task the plethora of complicating factors that are run in front of our eyes day after day on why we should be buying stocks. While he is short-term bullish, expecting a 2-3% jolt to stocks on post-Facebook IPO euphoria (as selling positions to fund the IPO allocation will fade), he remains medium-term [...]

WHO WANTS TO BE A BILLIONAIRE?

via Guardian.co.uk:

Analysts have warned small investors to steer clear of the $100bn Facebook sale after some of the social network’s biggest shareholders ramped up the number of shares they intend to offload.

The size of Facebook’s stock exchange listing ballooned by a quarter after Goldman Sachs and other backers decided to cash in on the demand for the shares by increasing the amount of stock they plan to sell in the [...]

Guess Which Hedge Funds Bought Loads Of JP Morgan Shares Before The Bank’s Stock Plummeted

3-F season is nigh, and it’s no surprise that everyone’s focused on the hedge funds that may have loaded up on the most talked-about financial stock these days—JP Morgan.

Since last week, shares of the bank have fallen over 10% after the company revealed a $2 billion loss related to a synthetic credit derivatives portfolio.

Here were some of the most notable funds that stocked up on JPM—

Paul Tudor Jones’ Tudor Investments bought up 1.2 million shares of [...]

Beware of these energy sector dividend scams

From Marin Katusa, Chief Energy Investment Strategist, Casey Research:

My most recent trip to Calgary gave me a welcome chance to catch up with friends and colleagues in Cow Town’s oil and gas sector. I found out about new projects, investigated companies of interest, and came away with an improved feel for the current state of affairs – what’s hot, what’s not, and why.

I also came away reminded of one of [...]

George Osborne plans to introduce ‘never ending loans’ to support UK’s in excess of £1 trillion already in debt, to issue bonds maturing in over 100 years to support its mega debt. Pension funds to be forced to buy the 100 year bonds to support the current government:

You might wonder who would be daft enough to invest in 100-year bonds which the Chancellor plans to issue while interest rates remain at historic lows. The answer, dear reader, could be you.

Before you delete this blog in disgust at my impertinence, let me explain. I do not doubt that Telegraph readers know enough history to understand how inflation robbed long-term holders of fixed-interest bonds in the past.

Left to their own devices, [...]

Steve Rattner: The stress test scenario which assumes 13 per cent unemployment, a halving of stock market valuations and the kind of “market shock” that might be triggered by the collapse of a bank in Europe.

From FT:

Tuesday’s release by the Federal Reserve of the results of its annual round of “stress tests” of the 19 largest American banks was yet another confirmation of the deftness with which the US government has handled the financial crisis. In stark contrast to the feeling of ennui that has often accompanied Europe’s initiatives to shore up its own financial system, the latest news from Washington was greeted with enthusiasm, [...]

What “high IQ” investors do differently than most people

From The New York Times:

The study is certainly provocative. Even after taking into account factors like income and education, the authors concluded that people with relatively high I.Q.’s typically diversify their investment portfolios more than those with lower scores and invest more heavily in the stock market. They also tend to favor small-capitalization stocks, which have historically beaten the broader market, as well as companies with high book values relative to their [...]

This simple screen could be the easiest way to boost your long-term dividend gains

From Dividend Growth Investor:

The reason for the lost decade in stocks is that many otherwise quality companies were overvalued in the early 2000s. For example, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) was trading at 29.30 times earnings in early 2000, whereas McDonald’s (MCD) traded at 26.90 times earnings. Even some of the best dividend stocks are not worth paying more than 20 times forward earnings.

Investors who purchase shares in companies trading at [...]

Please stop thinking the DOW reflects the economy in any tangible way. Thanks.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average back over 13,000 it’s worth emphasizing that not only is the stock market different from the economy and an index of 30 large firms different from the stock market, but the Dow is constructed in an absurd manner. Specifically, it’s an average of 30 different stocks that’s what we call price-weighted. That means that if Acme, Inc has 1 million shares outstanding each worth [...]

Washington Post

Internet giant Google began offering real-time share prices from the London Stock Exchange today in a move it hopes will breed a new generation of small investors.

UniCredit shares plunge on rights issue discount

UniCredit shares fell by 13.2 percent to euro5.49, as investors were spooked by the scale of the discount in the company’s rights issue. Other European banks, many of which are looking to raise money to plug financial holes, also saw their share prices take a hit amid concerns that they too would be forced to price their cash calls at low levels too.

Earlier in the day, UniCredit shares were briefly [...]

Could 2012 produce a repeat of the “flash crash”, the bizarre episode that hit the U.S. equity markets back on May 6 2010?

By: Gillian Tett, Financial Times

What should investors watch in 2012? As the new year dawns, there are plenty of short-term issues on the horizon, ranging from the eurozone to fiscal gridlock in the US to upheavals in the Middle East.

But amid that list there is also another, often ignored, question to ponder: could 2012 produce a repeat of the “flash crash”, the bizarre episode that hit the U.S. equity markets [...]

The Crash of ’29 — A Federal Reserve Production

by David Pierre

The Wall Street Crash is the opening act in the Great Depression, the latest production of the boys in the back room who own the private company operating under the deceptive name of the Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve was supposedly created to prevent such things as the Wall Street Crash happening. But, from 1921 to 1929, the Fed dramatically increases the U.S. money supply, fueling massive speculation.

Throughout the 1920s, Americans [...]
