FMNJ PM's; Ok China....buy some gold mines and make a killing on your investment...no better deals around ? than make Western world to the new slaves ? - China forms company to spend FX reserves - Submitted by cpowell on 09:25AM ET Friday, March 9, 2007. Section: Daily Dispatches By Joe McDonald Associated Press via Yahoo News Friday, March 9, 2007 news.yahoo.com. BEIJING -- China is creating an investment company to make more profitable use of its $1 trillion in foreign currency reserves, the finance minister said Friday, in a move that could change the flow of billions of dollars in global markets. About right time when all PM's been bashed down by the bolshevikz666? - Finance Minister Jin Renqing gave no details of how the Cabinet-level company might invest the reserves, which are believed to be mostly in safe but low-yielding U.S. Treasury bonds. He also did not say what portion of the reserves might be channeled through the company or when it would start to operate. "We can achieve more profit from the investments," Jin said at a news conference. "We are now preparing the organization of this new corporation." Analysts have speculated for some time that China would create an investment company, and officials have said repeatedly they want to make better use of the country's reserves. Economists have suggested Beijing might allocate as much as $200-400 billion to the new company, which in a single move could create one of the world's richest investment funds. "They want to be more aggressive than what they do with current reserves," said economist Mingchun Sun at Lehman Brothers in Hong Kong. "They could invest in higher-yield products -- stocks, corporate bonds, maybe even commodities," Sun said. "Basically, the returns would be higher because the risk is higher." Jin said Beijing would try to learn from the experience of other governments. He cited the example of Singapore's Temasek Holdings, which manages nearly $90 billion in government pension funds and other assets. Temasek owns stakes in Singapore Airlines and Singapore Telecom, as well as in banks, real estate, shipping, energy and other industries in India, China, South Korea and elsewhere. Spokespeople for Jin's ministry and the central bank and foreign currency regulator declined to give any other details. A shift in China's investment strategy could change its purchases of Treasuries, affecting a market that Washington relies on to help finance multibillion-dollar budget deficits. But Sun said that with the reserves growing by as much as $20 billion a month, Beijing could afford to keep buying U.S. government bonds while also channeling billions into new investments. U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, in an interview this week on the U.S. television network ABC, rejected suggestions that changes in Chinese bond purchases could affect the United States. Paulson said Beijing's entire holdings represent the equivalent of less than a single day's trading in Treasuries on global bond markets. Chinese economists and media reports have suggested China might adopt more unusual investment approaches, ranging from stockpiling oil and other raw materials to spending more on social programs in order to encourage Chinese consumers to spend more and reduce dependence on exports. The growth in China's reserves is driven by the rapid growth of its exports, which brings in dollars, euros and other foreign currency, and by the billions of investment dollars being poured into the country. The surge in money flooding in from abroad forces the central bank to drain billions of dollars from the economy every month by selling bonds in order to reduce inflationary pressures. The composition of China's foreign currency reserves is a secret. But economists believe that as much as 75 percent is believed to be in U.S. dollar-denominated instruments, mostly Treasuries, with the rest in euros and a small amount in yen. Stephen Green, chief economist at Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai, calculated that last year the central bank made a $29 billion profit on its Treasury holdings after paying interest on its own bonds and other expenses. But even that represents a return of less than 3 percent on the $1 trillion in holdings. By contrast, Singapore's Temasek says it has averaged an 18 percent annual return since it was created in 1974. * * * Help Keep GATA Going GATA is a civil rights and educational organization based in the United States and tax-exempt under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Don't sell now........ FMNJ P&F Pattern........ FMNJ P&F bullish price objective $2.19/sh. FMNJ Cerro Rico - PAILAVIRI II - The Pailaviri II Project - Cerro Rico (The Rich Mountain) that essentially consists in the development and exploitation of the field west sector veins was proposed under two alternatives that can be resumed in the following manner: Alternative 1 Execution of a 2,000 meters long adit, from the surface towards and meeting The San Miguel vein, discovery vein - nearing level -5 - And the execution of three other adits on three levels with an extension of 1,400 meters - Alternative 2 Execution of 400 meters long ramp from the surface and four adits on different levels with an extension of 2450 meters. Both alternatives contemplates a first exploration phase involving diamond drilling, and the development of a total extension of 12,000 meters long on 15 mineralized structures. This new proposition contemplates a first development instance of 400 meters on the San Miguel vein on level -5, getting to it the execution of a 30 meters trimming adit XC-5-01 realizing previously rehabilitation labors starting from the Bolivar dip. 1.2. MINE HISTORY A recent study, realized by the North Americans scientists Mark B. Abbott and Alexander P. Wolfe published in the review Science in September 2,003, concluded categorically that the exploitation of Silver on the Potosi Cerro Rico goes back to the Tiawanacota Period. The conclusion is based on sediment studies, extracted near the Cerro Rico, in which metal evidence where found that could have been the result of silver refination process. Carbon 14 testing, revealed that the sediments antiquity to be 1,000 years before Christ. According to tradition, the first silver veins were found in the Sumac Orcko (beautiful Mountain) today Cerro Rico de Potosi, in January 1,545 by an indigenous shepherd Diego Huallpa, depending from a known miner from Porco, Don Juan de Villaroel. Historically, since the registry of the vein “Descubridora or Centeno” by Don Juan de Villaroel, the 22 th of April 1,545, the deposit has been worked in accordance with the Mine Opening. Since 1546 until 1,719, great bonanza periods have been reported for the quality of the mineral, with ore contents between 1,500 and 9,000 silver ounces per ton - RICHEST SILVER MINE IN THE WORLD Cerro Rico CasaMoneda Mint - At the outset the mineral where recovered by the Incaic method “Huairachinas” and starting from 1,580, on instructions from the Peru Vice King, the amalgamation method was introduced. Starting in 1,852, the exploitation on an industrial level was organized with the establishment of mining companies starting to operate on the Cerro Rico. In 1,952 occurred the nationalization of the mines and the Cerro Rico passes to depend from The Mining Corporation of Bolivia (COMIBOL), entity that keeps exploiting tin minerals. In 1,986, due to the low tin quotation - the mining operations where closed. It is from there on, that the ex-miners from the Mining Corporation and others sectors, organize the Mining Cooperatives and take over on a leasing base various areas of the Cerro Rico in order to realize mining exploitation and The Mining Corporation of Bolivia (COMIBOL) developed the activities of regulating body in accordance with the laws established within free marking. investorshub.com FMNJ - Mission - Imo.
