NEWS & VIEWSpdf Back Issues  (460k) May 2001 ...Gold could very well be at a watershed. Evidence continued to build through April that some central bank[s] had decided to pull the plug on the gold carry-trade -- the primary deterrent to higher gold prices since the early 1990s. Some speculated that the Bank of England was recalling gold for its highly publicized gold sales program. Others speculated that a continental central bank was recalling gold as part of a policy change related to the Washington Agreement. Whatever the case, the resulting shortage of metal sent lease rates soaring again and touched off a wave of speculation on gold's future. Three prominent commentators in our May issue suggest that what's "afoot in the gold market" is akin to what happened in the late 1960s when the London Gold Pool broke down, and gold -- enthralled at $35 for the better part of 35 years -- was sent on its merry way to first break through the $200 level in 1974 and then over $800 by January 1980. (120k) April 2001 ...Taking note of it all, investors around the world continued to take gold off the market at record levels and at the cheapest inflation-adjusted prices in history. This month's NEWS & VIEWS is a jam-packed exploration of most of these remarkable developments along with what some of the more out-spoken critics and analysts are saying about all this, including where gold might be headed in the months ahead. . . . . THE WORLD GOLD COUNCIL'S ROBERT WEINBERG MADE A SURPRISE REVELATION at the recent Financial Times Gold Conference that thirty-five high net worth investors have invested some U.S. $800 million in the purchase of approximately 90 tonnes of gold in the past twelve months. Over the past four years, those same high net worth individuals have bought about 250 tonnes of gold, an investment of more than $2 billion at the current price. (280k) March 2001 ...The past month was an interesting one for gold and it encouraged some very good analysis and theory, the best of which we have hopefully memorialized here. The table illustrating gold's fundamentals below [show in newsletter] tells the bullish tale and remains our primary justification for fulfilling your needs in the present. The imminent threat of a gold shortage remains the seeker's constant companion. (280k) February 2001 ...January is the month when many financial firms, newsletter writers, analysts, and pundits issue their fearless forecasts for the upcoming year. So this year we thought it would be to our readers' benefit to compile those forecasts in an easy-to-read format for our February edition. The central theme remains the one that fascinates us all -- gold and the politics and economics which attend it. We focus on three issues that seem to have grabbed the gold-owner psyche as 2001 begins: the California energy crisis; the relationship between the new Bush administration and Wall Street; and, of course, what 2001 might bring for various markets including gold. "It is our feeling that the short position is so huge in gold that gold will not undergo a gradual increase, but rather a huge short covering rally which will cause the greatest spike in any commodity ever." --- David Skarica, Addicted to Profits (from Bull and Bear Financial Report) (110k) January 2001 ...Our only surprise is that the whole New Age, New Economy, End-of-History bullet train to Paradise didn't derail sooner. We have emphasized in the past how gold offers portfolio protection against such recurrent maladies such as inflation, deflation, equity market crashes, systemic risk; political, social and economic breakdown, etc. Gold is not so much the road to riches as it is the best option available to protect what you have gained in other pursuits -- the stock market, one's profession and/or business among them. Those who balanced their equities portfolio with gold over the past few years, as recommended so often here, have done nicely by their diversification -- keeping at least a portion of their capital intact despite the worst stock market plunge since 1929. This happened, as we suggested it would, in both The ABCs of Gold Investing: Protecting Your Wealth Through Private Gold Ownership (1996) and in these monthly ministrations. Now I am beginning to consider, as some of you may have gathered in my recent writings, the potential for a bull market in gold. The theme of this issue is "Markets Cycle" and gold does so no less than any other. (64k) December 2000 ...Welcome to our Christmas issue. While investors riveted their attention on the Grinch That Stole the Wall Street Bubble, gold owners were treated to an early Christmas in the form of some very positive developments as outlined below. As we go to press, lo and behold the price is even moving upward. In keeping with our practice of blending the appropriate NEWS & VIEWS for the novice as well as the advanced student of Gold History, Finance and Economics, this month we have something under this well-lit Tree for each and everyone. We invite you to reserve that easy chair near the fireplace, pour a hot-toddy to soothe the soul, and dive into not just a cap on the year most recently passed, but a look at what 2001 might bring in the way of portfolio-crucial events. This year give your portfolio the gift of gold. (890k) November 2000 ...Gold displayed its own version of lethargy during most of October, touching on 13-month lows despite the evident decay in equities and good demand in industrialized countries where investors are beginning to feel the pinch from higher oil prices and accelerating inflation trends. Steady gold demand from Asia where there is some concern that a repeat of the 1997 "Contagion" might be in the offing also provided support. Though gold languished in dollar terms, it moved up nicely in just about every other major currency, signaling what might be ahead for the gold price in the United States should the U.S. Dollar suddenly turn south--a possibility mentioned with increasing frequency in forex circles. Accelerating currency decay was wreaking havoc on a number of fronts, not the least of which was Australia where the gold mining industry has apparently been pushed to the ropes--the victim of both hedge book indiscretions and a rapidly deteriorating Aussie dollar. All of the above (and more) are covered in some detail... (850k) October 2000 ...In an anecdote told recently by the World Gold Council's Haruko Fukuda to the Business Club Zurich: "The great Russian opera singer, Feodor Chaliapin, lost his entire fortune--then worth more than a million pounds--in the Russian revolution.This disaster seared him. He left Russia after the Revolution and went to live in France where in 1931 he bought gold bars and put them in a safe in his cellar in Paris. He was interviewed by the British Sunday Express newspaper on the 5th of May 1935, when he said, 'People in Britain think that governments cannot collapse. They think bank notes are money; banks are impregnable. But I have had everything I made in 25 years stripped from me. I was reduced to singing for tea in which there was sawdust, and bread in which there was wood. With my bar of gold and a pen knife I shall never go hungry.'" (200k) September 2000 ...It could be quite a September... much of this issue is devoted to oil. ... Make that oil, inflation, international politics and gold. The good King Ibn Saud, back in 1933, demanded 35,000 gold British Sovereigns in payment for oil exploration rights in his country. Had he known that he was sitting on a massive pool of oil that would make Saudi Arabia the most important piece of real estate in the world, he might have asked for more. Ibn Saud did however understand the ultimate value of a paper promise, hence the payment in hard, yellow metal. To this day, the Gulf (as it's come to be known) becomes squeamish whenever it appears the Fed is printing too much paper currency (much of which goes to pay for oil) and the price of oil begins to ascend. The oil producers, it seems, are saying in essence, "You have had a good run. Much of it has been at our expense. Your economies are at full capacity. Now it is our turn." (1.2M) August 2000 ...Currency printing can be covered by production for awhile but it cannot be covered interminably, as we are finding out now with oil prices. At some point, our trading partners (the source of that production) wonder what they are getting in return for their exports, so they raise prices to compensate for the currency over-production. The result is reports like the one released in July showing a $31 billion trade deficit--the largest on record. At some point, the dollar will no longer hold up under the pressure; the direct relationship between trade deficits and a weak currency is in itself iconographic. Beyond the burgeoning dollar problem, we also must contend with a financial bubble that dwarfs anything that has preceded it. The two problems meeting at some not-too-distant time and place will bear its own wholly unique (and potentially explosive) consequences--a consideration most gold owners have already taken into account. Financial author Anthony C. Sutton: "Those entrapped by the herd instinct are drowned in the deluges of history. But there are always the few who observe, reason, and take precautions, and thus escape the flood. For these few gold has been the asset of last resort." (200k) July 2000 ...One would have to say that gold's recent resilience both in terms of worldwide demand and interest among various analysts (see below) probably has to do with a growing discomfort that can be summed up in one word-- INFLATION. With prices roaring ahead in all sectors of the economy, particularly the oil sector, the hoped-for quiet summer of 2000 is rapidly shaping up more like the Summer of Our Discontent. ... UBS Warburg, one of the largest banking firms in Europe, is warning its customers to prepare for a "hard landing" in the United States and worldwide "collateral damage." UBS Warburg goes on to recommend that investors "should consider reshaping their portfolios to prepare for turbulence." (140k) June 2000 On the "dot com" mania from E.J. Welsh (The Financial Commentator) as published in Crawford Perspectives: "[Alan Greenspan] has also said that the Fed is not targeting stock prices. But to a lot of 28 year-old money managers, this seems disingenuous. They can think of no other reason why a company with no foreseeable earnings should see its stock fall from 200 times 2001 sales to 100 times in less than four weeks. To those investing according to the greater fool theory, it must be bitter medicine to learn there are a finite number of fools." (480k) May 2000 "This newsletter is written the weekend after the Friday (April 14, 2000) stock market crash--an event for which we are still taking a body count and can only guess the extent of the shakeout in the months to come. The newspapers report this morning that the public lost $2.1 trillion yesterday--the largest one-day loss in stock market history. Though the events of April 14 were significant in and of themselves, they were in fact the culmination of a week-long slide in the indices which reduced the value of NASDAQ by some 30% and the DOW by over 7%. The trigger event for Friday's collision with reality was an inconvenient surge in the Consumer Price Index of 0.7% which suddenly catapulted the inflation rate toward dangerous double-digit territory." (180k) March 2000 "Apocalyptic expectations are unnecessary to project a dollar gold price that includes four digits. It will require only the inevitable unwinding of bearish producer and dealer hedge structures amidst a change of market perceptions on the desirability of financial assets." --John Hathaway/Toqueville Asset Mgt ....."Gold demand in 1999 reached record levels. Demand in the 27 [international] markets covered rose 566.2 tonnes to 3,278.4 tonnes, 21% above the total for 1998." [from the World Gold Council] (460k) February 2000 "A central bank manipulating the price of money is no different than the Politburo 'managing' the Soviet economy. They had no clue whether the people needed cars or shoes. Some things were in oversupply and others were scarce and so on. Intellectually there is no difference between a centrally planned economy and a centrally planned currency." Anthony Deden, "Reflections on Prosperity" (790k) January 2000 "Will 2000 be the year the markets serve retribution? No one knows for sure, of course, but a large of number of investors aren't taking any chances. Beginning in October, Centennial Precious Metals began to see signs of a New Paradigm of its own. Investors started calling with rather large orders saying they were hedging a stock market correction by liquidating stocks and putting their winnings into undervalued gold. "Apparently, unbeknownst to us until recently, this move to gold was occurring on a larger scale across the country. Felix Freeman from Scotia Mocatta, a major bullion dealer, observes: 'The nature of gold buying is changing. Wealthier investors are buying large lots, often US $1-10 million, not for Y2K reasons, but to exit equity markets for capital preservation. Such buying hasn't been seen in size for 10 years'."
