From Pescod daily:
As we mentioned yesterday we are a little bit concerned
about gold...with jewellery demands slipping dramatically
at a time like this (when you’re worried about
paying the mortgage, feeding the kids or your future no
money is spent on baubles and jewellery) and meanwhile
sales of gold coins have started settling down and also
interest in gold ETF’s the big player in gold patch of late
is also starting to settle down. For those looking for inflation
hedge well there is no sign of inflation according
to most analysts til probably 2011 at the earliest. But not
everyone believes this.
Nicolas Campbell one of Canaccord’s gold guys suggests
that we are now looking at one of the strongest
months ever for gold and that’s the month of September.
Traditionally over the last decade or so, Campbell says,
we’ve seen a roughly 8% move in the month of September
and he ties that to the Indian wedding season that
gears up. October is not such a good month for gold but
then you go into the time of year, November to February
that are also part of the good cycle for gold stocks. It’ll
be interesting to see if that Indian demand for the precious
commodity does pick up as it traditionally does
this time of year but in the meantime gold stocks which
had been big movers earlier this year and have done little
of late except for the few discoveries now go into their
Christmas season.
Anyway, when we corner Campbell for his top picks, a
top 3 list that always seems to change. Right now
Keegan Resources remains his top pick and he is looking
forward to drill results that should be in shortly and potential
land acquisitions as well. (For those looking for
his latest report on Keegan which is from way back in
July e-mail Debbie at debbie_lewis@canaccord.com).
His second pick is one that would surprise many gold
observers and that’s Canplats, a story that he suggests
hasn’t done much of late, and with a poor balance sheet
and little money in the bank is obviously looking at having
to do a financing sometime soon. On the other hand
Campbell notes that it is being valued now at a mere $22
Canadian per ounce in the ground vs. the industry average
of almost $60. Campbell says “I like it when no one
else seems to want to get behind a story.” “And it feels”
he admits “as if there is a huge overhang on the stock at
this time”.
