Gold Is Showing Strength!

Gold Is Showing Strength!

Gold is showing strength against the dollar and the government spin.  If you ignore gold, it is at your peril! This is going to be a quick report today because my dance card has been full this weekend.  My apologies, but sometimes that’s the way it goes. Gold had a really good week despite the dollars strong run up of late and the outstanding jobs report, (pun intended).  Harry Reid commented that the  jobs loss of 36,000 is “really good”  What planet is this guy from?  Apparently Comrade Reid has lost all touch with what America is all about! America would be better off if Senator Reid was one of [...]

Is Soros Trying To Collapse The Dollar?

Is Soros Trying To Collapse The Dollar?

Is Soros trying to collapse the dollar?  As usual, we won’t learn all of the story until after the fact, but all signs are pointing in that direction.  The duck is quacking as I look into the question, is Soros trying to break the buck? The  30 year Treasury auction is in trouble! Last week the U.S. Government came very close to having a “failed” auction of 30 year treasuries.  This would be catastrophic for the value of the dollar and would unhinge the “full faith and credit of the U.S. Government” pledge which is the foundation of the dollar. There are two types of buyers that fund the U.S. [...]

Is The Gold Correction Over?

Is the gold correction over?  That is the question of the hour.  I will lay out the reasons why I think it may be getting close to the end as I try to answer the question, is the gold correction over? It is important to remember that in just 5 weeks ending in late October 2008, the HUI dropped 57.2% as the metals fell with the market in the wake of the financial crisis.  No one predicted the financial crisis, except Jim Sinclair, and he did not call the date but rather said it was coming sooner rather than later.  I certainly did not predict the meltdown that occurred in [...]

Financial Uncertainty Reigns

Financial Uncertainty Reigns

Financial uncertainty reigns as the Obama administration moves to “fundamentally change America”. Fortunately America is waking up as evidenced by the people’s vote this past Tuesday. Thank God for the Massachusetts vote, where the tea party was reborn during this period where financial uncertainty reigns. Scott Brown’s election on Tuesday, to be the new U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, was the shot heard round the nation by all but the progressives and President Obama. It is utterly amazing to me (although it shouldn’t amaze me because I understand these zealots) that they are willing to totally trash the United States in order to get the foundation for their socialist utopia. [...]

Goldcorp, Inc. (GG)

Goldcorp, Inc. (GG) is one of the world’s largest gold mining companies with the strongest production growth profile among all senior gold producers.  A Canadian company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada,  Goldcorp, Inc. employs more than 10,000 people.

Is Gold Putting In a Bottom?

Is Gold Putting In a Bottom?

In this holiday shortened week I would like to pose a question: Is gold putting in a bottom?  I think so and I will lay out a few of the reasons why in this post.  The first week of January 2010 will answer the question: Is gold putting in a bottom? The markets are shortened for the holidays during the Christmas and New Years weeks and most, if not all, of the big traders are gone for the holidays and will not return until January 4th 2010.  Low volume can cause big swings in prices that do not necessarily reflect the underlying sentiment of the markets.  With that being said, [...]

Franco Nevada (FNV.TO)

Franco Nevada (FNV.TO)

Franco Nevada is another one of my favorites in the royalty company sector.  It has top management, a solid balance sheet, and a rock solid business plan. Franco Nevada merged with  Newmont (NEM), and then was reborn in a spin off  two years ago.  The stock has nearly doubled since the IPO and is on sound footing for further gains as this gold bull progresses. Royalties are a great business to be in, and Franco Nevada has royalties in both producing and exploration companies.  85% of Franco Nevada’s revenue is free cash flow. The following is the Corporate Profile from Franco Nevada’s web page. Corporate Profile Our Business Franco-Nevada is [...]

Silver Wheaton (SLW)

Silver Wheaton (SLW)

Silver Wheaton (SLW) is another royalty company that is high on my list.  BuyGoldCo focuses on gold, but in reality the site is devoted to precious metals of all types and Silver Wheaton is an ideal candidate when you are looking for a company that focuses on silver.  The Corporate Profile tells the whole royalty story in two easily understood paragraphs. “Established in 2004, Silver Wheaton has quickly positioned itself as the largest silver streaming company in the world.  The company has entered into seventeen agreements where, in exchange for an upfront payment, it has the right to purchase all or a portion of the silver production, at a low [...]

Royal Gold, Inc. (RGLD)

Royal Gold, Inc. (RGLD)

Royal Gold, Inc., is one of the world’s leading precious metals royalty companies. Royal Gold owns and manages royalties on precious metals with the emphasis on gold.  Royalty companies offer all of the upside of gold without the downside of actually mining the metal. The risk is low because the royalty company is not exposed to the high capital costs of the mining business, while still being exposed to the full upside of the rise in the price of the gold. For those of you new to royalty companies, a royalty is simply the right to receive a percentage of production from a mine. If the price of gold goes [...]
