Open question...how many of the large producers are sitting on mothballed deposits? If the rally continues, how long would it take for them to re-open some of these? And, is this likely?

Rarebird:

From your posts I thought you were a pretty smart guy. But you blew it. How could you miss the real reason gold is up?

This GPM thread is now an Information OverLoad type site.

Thats just from a small low 13 dollar rise in gold price,
and if this long awaited environment continues monday
with more of the same, then "Expect the Unexpected here."

[start.]
"Short Term Rates are headed lower,
long term rates are rising and headed much higher,
the U.S. Fed is pumping up the monetary supply...
Gold... to respond to an interest rate and economic environment
that has historically produced a gold bull market."

"Believe it or not,
the Goldie stocks are headed much higher.
Confirmation came on Friday.
Gold has indeed bottomed.
Let there be disbelief all the way up..."

"... a market that is extremely difficult to time short term."

"... as the economic fundamentals and interest rate environment
remain Bullish for Gold, it will rise against all expectations."

"Expect the Unexpected here.
Listen to no newsletter writer or the Media.
The "I think" for myself has always led to the Truth."

"... some consolidation early next week
... Don't get alarmed..."
Rarebird
[end.]

I read the following article twice and obtained less
than zero understanding. Could be an attitude problem
on my part, as economics & business stuff has nothing
of interest for i. Just tell me a gold standard has
been placed in effect and i will vanish as quickly
as Drano and a good toilet plunger does its job. d:o)ug

Revolt of the Long Bond

This essay originally appeared May 18, 2001
on the fantastic Gold Eagle website.

Bond. James Bond.

We suspect that most...
Ian Fleming’s debonair British super-spy.
The marvelous James Bond...

... for the first time in history.

Like James Bond in Fleming's espionage masterpieces,
global bond markets march to the beat of their own drummer
and they are virtually impossible to tame.

Maybe the bond markets are unilaterally vetoing
Greenspan's frantic monetary policy.

The bond markets are far beyond important
in the global financial marketplace,
and we believe all prudent investors and speculators
should be carefully monitoring the long bond yield
to see if the bond traders are going to tow
the party line and play Greenspan's game
or if they are calling Greenspan's macro inflationary bluff.

If the bond markets choose NOT to play along
with Greenspan's last-ditch inflationary gambit,
the New Era mythology, the US consumer,
and the US equity markets are approaching
a world of hurt.

Rarebird I agree with you 100% and this post is worth printing and hanging next to the computer screen. You said early next week, I take that to imply Tues/Wed. I am looking for a Run on Mon.5/21/01 as a continuation of Friday. A lot of Gold traders were on the sidelines on Friday and will be back on Monday. We got a lot of attention on Friday and that will bring new people to Gold stocks. I see the stock operators taking advantage of this run while it is still hot.Do I understand you correctly on Next week? JR

Canada Imposes Dumping
Duties on Hot-Rolled Sheet

The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency determined April 19 that 99.6 percent of the hot-rolled steel sheet imports from Brazil, Bulgaria, China, India, Macedonia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Ukraine and Yugoslvia are being dumped at margins as high as 49 percent.

The CCRA terminated an investigation covering the same goods from Thailand, on the basis that none of the product imported during the period of investigation was dumped. The agency also determined a countervailable subsidy on imports from India averaging $63 per metric ton.

The CCRA imposed provisional dumping duties ranging from 5.1 to 96 percent of the export price, and provisional countervail duties ranging from $38 to $246 per metric ton on subsidized imports from India.

The complaint that resulted in the CCRA investigation was filed by Algoma Steel Inc. and supported by other Canadian hot-rolled sheet producers.
