ouch NEM acqd hedges... dollar dropping, look out below
in every way shape form considered, forward gold sales are corrosive and acidic to balance sheets
thanks for passing this Newmont news item
imagine what happens to miners who have this all over their books
I smell bankruptcy for Barrick
Placer Dome has 11% of their gold trapped in hedged sales
Barrick's will be hidden in offbalance books
I read that their shareholders are demanding more disclosure
what a sorry bunch of fools
and their creditors are demanding margin money, as in margin calls

dollar is descending again
quotes.ino.com
precariously near breaking below support at 111-112

and gold is holding on to the 320 handle

hold onto jockstraps, gold breaking again... touched 325

kitco.com

I expect a breakout to 335-340 before some consolidation
the Gold Cartel has officially lost control
the market realizes this, smelling blood

meanwhile, the dollar is breaking down, now near 112 flat
quotes.ino.com

the dollar is NOT the only reason gold is rising
I believe 20 reasons are pushing it up
the major ones:
- near zero real rate of interest deters bondholders
- trade debt widening rapidly
- world tension with several international pressure points
- lost control by Cartel suppressing gold
- miners are covering their disastrous hedges
- JPM remains a potential derivative desk bombshell

making money hand over fist for first time since QCOM days
oh, the Halcyon Days of yore !!!
looking forward to some real big gold updays later this year
and pocketing $100k per day
