Top Press Releases of The Week, Commodities Manipulation and Spot Gold’s Spike All On This Weeks Show With Allan Barry & George Tsiolis – July 26, 2013

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:06 PM on Friday, July 26th, 2013

On this weeks show we discuss the best press releases of the week from Small-Cap TV:

  • Parkside Resources (PKS.V) interesting drill results from project in Ontario.
  • Aroway Energy (ARW.V) increases proven reserves of oil equivalent by 246%.
  • SilverCrest Mines (SVL.V) solid pre-feasibility study from Mexico silver play.
  • Almaden Minerals (AMM.T) hits solid drill results on gold 7 silver play in Mexico
  • Virtutone Networks (VFX.V) from $2.8M In Annual Revenue to $2.5M in Monthly Revenue

Gold & commodities manipulation theory is now going mainstream. Spot gold spiked up $45 on Monday and the media pundits pointed to things from China to the FOMC.  While all the cited may have been factors, veteran traders saw the bulk of the move resting in a conspiracy story.

  • ART CASHIN A key support of these theories is the backwardation in gold – the spot price is higher than the near future contract.  That’s unusual. It could normally be resolved by selling spot gold and buying the cheaper future one month out.  Thus, in a month, you would reap an apparent locked-in, riskless profit.  Yet no one seems to be doing it.  Is there doubt that there is gold in storage that will be deliverable in a month?
  • This weekend, the New York Times reported that Goldman Sachs has allegedly been using its aluminum warehouses to manipulate the price of the metal.
  • JP Morgan is in negotiations with FERC, a federal energy regulator, to settle charges that its traders manipulated energy markets in the western U.S., they could pay up to $410 million.

Gold Oversold but Trend Improving

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:49 PM on Monday, July 15th, 2013

The paper market can control the price of gold for the short term, but over the long term supply and demand moves the market.

I’ve seen this movie before, when the market whether in a bullish rally or bearish correction over does it in either direction. Usually you can find the culprit of these moves to the extremes in the paper market, with the crowd of paper traders piling into a trend.

But you can always tell it is overdone on the downside when the price gets close to the average cost of producing gold, which is where we are now.

I can see lots of evidence in the supply chain that suggests the price is overdone on the downside, at average costs of production, mining head grades dropping, less exploration, not enough new discoveries and new development to replace what is mined every year.

There is also evidence in the technical indicators that the pullback in the price of gold is finished and the trend is entering a more bullish trend. We hit the bottom at $1200, it bounced off that and the next pullback didn’t test that low. It looks like we are now in an improving trend and I expect to see us continue to have higher lows and higher highs.

The market got to the extreme on the downside, and the high quality gold stocks got decimated. Gold in the ground is tremendously cheap right now.

High quality gold stocks are a contrary investors dream.

Mining Stocks…The Zombies, The Dormant and The Leaders

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:05 PM on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013

It’s pretty obvious that mining stocks are going through a challenging period. But often, out of the challenging periods come big winners for investors. One of the reasons I’ve been able  to pick a lot of winners over the years is because I know how to categorize companies.

On the show, I talked about the categories I’m putting mining stocks in, and how that can help investors find winners. The show will help you look at the sector like a contrary investor and put companies in the right bucket. So when the market turns around you will have stocks that lead the charge.
