BACK UP THE TRUCK

Back Up the Truck Now

by Neil Charnock, GoldOz | December 15, 2009

I have been warning you all for several weeks that a buying opportunity for gold shares was approaching during December and here it is.  I want to take a near term look at this gold rally in this article.  I do apologize that I missed my normal release of an article last week it was due to some rare and unscheduled time off with a tooth abscess.

Well gold has retreated for a breather and so has the Australian gold sector as expected but this is not the end, barely half time in this up-leg for gold.  I have drawn a few ellipse shapes on the 5 year gold chart below because I want to point out the pair of up-legs during 2007 and 2008.

The chances are that a second act is set to follow just like then and therefore we should see a high level of support around this level now and over the coming weeks.  Then we launch towards the US$1,400 level with a possible overshoot.   Share action has been strong as we predicted and therefore my current expectation is for this to be an excellent buying area right now for Australian gold stocks.

Each company is to be taken on its own merit and I have noted at least two under performers that should shine as we pull out of this dip.  This will produce a significant upside and I am pleased to say investors are selling these too creating an even better buy opportunity.  Many of the strong performers are likely to follow through as well. 

There is still plenty of room for upside in this sector and I have been pointing to a rally progressing strongly into early February and possibly to May 2010 for many months now.  I have not changed my view at all no matter how it looks short term.  There were many doubters when I announced a powerful break out in this sector many weeks ago.  There were many doubters much earlier when I announced that the indicators were pointing to upside and that was months ago. 
Here is a chart showing the upside potential in the emerging producers sector. Support could be further below yet for some of these stocks but look at those highs because that is where we are headed. 

The Australian gold sector looks every bit at profitable and vibrant as it did in mid 2008 when this index was up at the 150 level.  There is potential for a parabola to form after this brief correction sending this index up to the levels seen in 2007 at almost 160 when gold first hit $1,030.  This seems to indicate that the best is certainly yet to come and it will be a sharp exciting rally.

Load up the truck and use this minor correction to pick off the lows.  More conservative investors should watch this sector after Christmas and into early January for confirmation.  I will be looking to supply ample warnings of the next pull back amid the excitement that will surely follow because there is more to success in this game than buying intelligently.  You have to be willing to sell and take your profits after they have run without fear that the rally could continue without you.

Of course we have to be on guard that the early New Year rally to late January early February may be a top because the global banking and credit crisis is still the rabid Tyrannosaurus Rex in the corner.  Forget about the elephant in the room this is far more serious.  I have been warning about the lack of a debt securitization market and how this restricts credit particularly in the USA.

If this turns out to be the case we will be following the market down looking for the next mother of all gold stock buying opportunities.  Forceful down trends are generally sharp like final blow off tops and you have to move fast so let’s keep a very close eye on this situation.

We see a strong need to increase our output with several special Gold Member reports on companies of interest that offer both fundamental and technical timing opportunities and have recently developed a special area in GoldOz to deliver this.

I have been busy writing a special report over the past two weeks that will be released to Gold Members before I launch it to the open market early in the New Year or just prior to Christmas.  We released a special educational report back at the end of August and it was a huge success making many investors a great deal of money with more to come.

I have posted a chart below to illustrate how successful that was however I have had to remove the company name to be able to post the chart in this article. Note the point on the chart where we released the report.

New Gold Members are also welcome of course. Please enquire about a subscription.

Either way we see an exciting start to the 2010 year and will watch this with you to see how things develop.  Stimulus spending and the carry trade could keep things going along this path for longer than most analysts realize and produce a handy second high into May.  We will keep you posted.

Mr. Ken Lapierre reports
ROCKCLIFF HITS MORE HIGH GRADE COPPER MINERALIZATION AT SNOW LAKE
Drilling on the Rail zone has intersected additional high-grade copper mineralization on Rockcliff Resources Inc.'s Snow Lake VMS project located in central Manitoba. Hole RL09-45 intersected 8.01 metres of stringer sulphides grading 3.11 per cent copper, 0.30 gram per tonne (g/t) gold and 5.1 g/t silver including 2.75 m grading 5.16 per cent copper, 0.59 g/t gold and 8.0 g/t silver. The hole was drilled in an area south of the historic Rail VMS deposit where recent down-hole geophysics on previously drilled copper-rich holes detected a large untested conductor south of and on strike to the Rail zone. Drilling has now increased the Rail zone mineralization (copper, gold, zinc and silver) to approximately 700 m of strike length and up to approximately 450 m deep. The Rail zone remains open in all directions and is hosted within juvenile arc rocks of the Snow Lake camp. All VMS mines within the camp are hosted in juvenile arc rocks of the Flin Flon greenstone belt. Drilling will continue on the Rail zone early in the new year.
Highlights from previous holes (RL07-01 to RL09-38) completed by Rockcliff on the Rail zone at the Rail property can be viewed on the company's website. Highlights from the recent drill holes RL09-39 to RL09-46 are in the table and include:

• 1.48 m grading 2.58 per cent copper, 1.50 g/t gold, 2.67 per cent zinc and 10.5 g/t silver (RL09-40);
• 2.28 m grading 3.37 per cent copper, 0.79 g/t gold, 1.31 per cent zinc and 12.5 g/t silver including 1.11 m grading 6.12 per cent copper, 1.78 g/t gold, 2.09 per cent zinc and 22.6 g/t silver (RL09-41);
• 4.05 m grading 2.29 per cent copper, 0.38 g/t gold, 0.15 per cent zinc and 5.1 g/t silver including 1.83 m grading 2.89 per cent copper, 0.53 g/t gold, 0.09 per cent zinc and 6.2 g/t silver (RL09-44);
• 10.12 m grading 2.61 per cent copper, 0.51 g/t gold, 0.08 per cent zinc and 4.4 g/t silver including 8.01 m grading 3.11 per cent copper, 0.30 g/t gold, 0.08 per cent zinc and 5.1 g/t silver including 2.75 m grading 5.16 per cent copper, 0.59 g/t gold, 0.10 per cent zinc and 8.0 g/t silver (RL09-45).

Ken Lapierre, president and chief executive officer of Rockcliff, commented: "Drilling on the Rail zone has consistently returned excellent copper and copper-gold results. Our goal at Rail is to determine the zone's extent and then complete an NI 43-101 resource estimate. With an additional four VMS deposits, a former gold producer and numerous untested VTEM and ZTEM airborne targets as part of our company's Snow Lake project, we remain very optimistic of realizing our ultimate goal of becoming mine finders in this camp."
To date, a total of 4062.5 m in 14 surface drill holes (RL09-33 to RL09-46) have been completed and reported in this drill phase on the Rail property. The Rail zone intersected in holes 33, 34, 35, 44, 45 and 46 was copper rich and drilled south of the historic Rail deposit.
The Rail zone intersected in drill holes 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and 43 was copper-gold rich and drilled north of the historic Rail deposit. The Rail zone has been drilled to a present strike length of 685 m and to depths of up to 450 m and remains open in all directions. The zone consists of stringers and massive sulphide lenses of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite (copper-rich) and sphalerite (zinc-rich) hosted within a favourable five-kilometre-long trend of prospective juvenile arc rocks located on the property. An expansion of the surface grid north of the present drilling will begin shortly once ground conditions are frozen. This will allow additional geophysics and drilling to be completed in an untested area north of the company's northernmost holes which intersected mineralization up to 4.74 m grading 9.02 per cent copper, 3.46 g/t gold, 1.62 per cent zinc and 36.5 g/t silver (RL09-37; please refer to news in Stockwatch on Nov. 10, 2009).
Drilling on the Rail zone is planned to continue after the Christmas break in the new year. Additional drilling in 2010 on the Snow Lake project will include areas with VMS and gold potential and will be reported once drill targets are finalized.
Significant assay results from drill holes RL09-39 to RL09-46 are in the table. The lengths reported are drill intersected core lengths and do not represent true widths.

A PIG FAVORITE DRILLS !

Goldsource Commences Drilling on Manitoba Coal Permits 

 




VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 9, 2009) - Goldsource Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GXS)(FRANKFURT:G5M) ("Goldsource" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received all necessary approvals to begin its exploration work program on its 44,670 hectares of Coal-Quarry Permits in Manitoba and drilling is scheduled to begin immediately.


As part of its initial exploration program, the Company plans to drill 8 holes totalling 650 metres to test a number of airborne geophysical anomalies in the Pine River area of southwestern Manitoba. These drill targets have similar geophysical signatures to those exhibited by the initial 15 coal deposits discovered at the Company's Border Coal Project in Saskatchewan. Several of these geophysical targets are much larger in aerial extent than any of the current Border deposits.


This drilling should be completed around Dec. 20th and will provide a basis from which to plan further drilling. A second stage of drilling is scheduled for February, 2010 once access becomes available after freeze-up. These two stages will consist of approximately 20 drill holes that will further examine the extent of the Manitoba coal deposits along the Durango Trend and provide initial information on coal quality.


J. Scott Drever, President stated; "We have been anxious to get this program underway because of the similarities we see between the targets in Manitoba and those at our Border property in Saskatchewan which have produced several coal deposits with substantial NI 43-101 compliant coal resources near the town of Hudson Bay. The Manitoba properties also have excellent infrastructure with nearby railway, roads and power."


Following its major coal discovery at the Border Property in Saskatchewan, Goldsource researched various Manitoba data bases and identified a number of reported coal occurrences in western Manitoba. The historical data reported several coal occurrences within the Cretaceous Mannville Group ranging in thickness from 1 to 20 metres at shallow depths of 14 to 90 metres below surface. The Company drilled five reconnaissance holes on private land in late 2008, which confirmed the historical data in certain areas.


The Company subsequently carried out airborne geophysical surveys over selected areas, which identified a number of potential coal bearing sub-basins using the Company's proprietary geophysical signatures developed at the nearby Border Coal Project and which has been used very successfully by Goldsource to discover further coal deposits. Airborne EM geophysical surveys along with the proprietary signatures continue to play a key role in defining significant coal occurrences at Border and are expected to provide a similar competitive advantage with respect to the Company's Manitoba properties.


N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng. and Qualified Person for this news release has reviewed and approved its contents.


Goldsource Mines Inc. is a Canadian resource company engaged in the exploration and development of Canada's newest coal field in the province of Saskatchewan. The Company has aggressively drilled only a portion of this new thermal coal field and has discovered 15 coal deposits of varying size with coal thicknesses up to 100 metres within the permit area of the Border Coal Project. Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, the Company is well-financed and is managed by experienced mining and business professionals.


This news release contains forward-looking statements, which address future events and conditions, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results, programs and financial position could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, some of which may be beyond the Company's control. These factors include: the availability of funds; the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties, the interpretation of drilling results and other geological data, the uncertainties of resource and reserve estimations, receipt and security of coal permits and mineral property titles; project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, fluctuations in commodity product prices; currency fluctuations; and general market and industry conditions.


Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

A climate skeptic's guide to fun and profit

By Derek DeCloet
The Globe and Mail

Donald Coxe pitches the most outrageous, politically incorrect investment idea of all: How to profit from global cooling

Last Monday, a dozen or so environmentalists went to Chicago's financial district, wandered into one of its busiest intersections, laid down, and locked arms. Their purpose in forcing a couple of hours of gridlock, and causing cars to spew extra carbon emissions, was to complain about U.S. policy on carbon emissions.
It is the kind of scene that bemuses Donald Coxe. Not so long ago, he was one of Bay Street's best-known investment strategists, famous for his strong convictions, his right-of-Reagan political leanings and his Conrad-Black-esque vocabulary (how many financial pros can use "Rhadamanthine" in a sentence?). Oh, and for making people money, too.
Today, he operates in a somewhat dimmer spotlight, thinking and writing about the world from a perch in the very building outside of which those protesters caused that traffic jam. But he still has an audience - most notably at Bank of Montreal, his former employer, which still pays for and distributes his research - and still knows how to capture attention.
So as the world's policy makers converge on Copenhagen to talk about the warming planet, Mr. Coxe continues to pitch the most outrageous, politically incorrect investment idea of all:
How to profit from global cooling.
In the genteel world of Canadian finance, there are certain things you simply don't do. Questioning the global warming consensus is one of them. Banks don't set up global-cooling-themed mutual funds. Their CEOs don't give speeches casting doubt on the science of a warming planet. Instead, they keep any skepticism to themselves and make nice. (BMO, for example, has a policy to be "carbon-neutral" and backs it up by funding things like reforestation projects in British Columbia.)
Mr. Coxe is one of the few people connected to a big bank who goes against that grain. He might even be Bay Street's most forceful climate-change skeptic. The Earth isn't warming, it's cooling, he says. The green movement? A joke. Coal? Fuel of the future. Al Gore? A money-hungry opportunist.
The oil sands? The number of ducks killed in Fort McMurray tailings ponds "is what a few hunting parties would collectively bag on a good weekend."
So there.
My purpose here is not to weigh in on Mr. Coxe's theory of climate change (which mostly has to do with sunspots) or those of the scientists who disagree with him. But he is worth listening to in this respect: The big money is always, always made by those willing to bet against a deeply held consensus. So if, five or 10 years from now, new evidence has thrown theories of global warming into doubt, enormous profits will be made by those putting their cash on that outcome now.
Where? Suncor Energy and Canadian Oil Sands are obvious ones. "The biggest single problem for the valuation of the oil sands stocks is this global jihad against them for what they're doing for global warming," says Mr. Coxe. "As soon as that's called into question, I can tell you that there's going to be a ton of money coming back into those stocks."
But that's not even his favourite idea. Agricultural stocks are. Cooler weather equals smaller crops equals food shortages. "I regard that as the single most important investment concept - to be investing in the companies that, one way or the other, can make a huge difference on global food supplies. ... Those companies, I believe, could become among the most valuable companies on Earth." Think Monsanto or farm-equipment suppliers like Deere.
What else? Offshore oil drillers. Coal or maybe the railways that haul it. Warren Buffett will make 10 times his money on his takeover of Burlington Northern if there's global cooling, he says.
And if Al Gore is right? If the push to limit carbon emissions gains momentum, and the Copenhagen gabfest actually produces something of substance, and Canada is forced to counteract a reputation as the world's dealer of dirty oil? Then Don Coxe's audience is going to get smaller and his wallet a lot thinner. Count me skeptical of that outcome, though.

PAINTED PIG
STOCK ALERT

DECember O5, 2009

THE PIG HAS BEEN VERY BUSY IN THE HOG HOUSE THIS PAST WEEK. A MOUNTAIN OF REPORTS, PAPER WORK, CHARTS, AND TIPS ARE ALWAYS IN THE PIGS INBOX FOR HIS LOOK SEE. THE PIG GETS A TON OF PORKY PICKS FROM OTHER PORTLY PROGNOSTICATORS, AMATEUR ANALYSTS, AND GIGANTIC GAMBLERS, MUCH LIKE HIMSELF. ALL THOSE PICKS ARE RUN THROUGH THE PIGS 24 POINT PORK SYSTEM, TO TRIM THE FAT AND FIND THE CHOICEST CHOPS. THE PIGS GENTLY TWEAKING THE SYSTEM A BIT AT A TIME TO TRY NEW THINGS. THE PIGS BLOG WILL START TO SHOW THOSE CHANGES SOON. FAN MAIL TO THE PIG HAS TRENDED IN THE DIRECTION OF A MORE CONCISE DELINEATION (YAH PIGS ARE EDUCATED) SYSTEM FOR SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM PICKS.

THE PIGS NEWEST adDITIONS, and old favs............

V.ENW.................EnWAVE CORPORATION

EnWAVE has a potentially earth shaking food preservation system that has the opportunity to take the food processing industry by storm. In addition the process can be used in medical labs as well. Anywhere where the freeze dried process is used, it can be installed to radically and much more cheaply, do the job. The pig says to check it out and watch for a large move to jump in on. The pigs pork sense tells him its about to happen.

V.VEI......................VERB EXCHANGE

Another pig porktential multi bagger. The pig says do some DD, but from what the pig has put together a large announcement is coming. Volume does not lie, and neither does the pigs six sense.

T.IDC..............INTERNATIONAL DATACASTING

The pig is a huge fan of the movies !!! In a week or so a potential blockbuster will come to screens using a new 3D process that will revolutionize the way you watch movies. No more glasses, no more headaches and kick you right in the rear effects !!. The movie in question, AVATAR, by director James Cameron will use Cameron's own 3d technology. According to this months WIRED magazine article, it will be earth shaking in content, visuals, and design. Its prompting a paradigm shift in how theaters show movies and they are updating their own technology to show these moivies ! So whats the pig all in a lather about this stock for ? International Datacasting has the world's best and most complete systems for theatrical uses of this 3D technology. The pigs spies tell him that this movie could be a force five in the movement of this stock. Might be worth it to have a few shares, to speculate, and take advantage of the technologies exposure.

V.ENA.............ENABLENCE TECHNOLOGY

A loyal reader of the Painted Pig Blog passed this on as one to watch. Frankly the pig is a tad worried about the shares out but he has been assured its going to make another move like Fridays 50%+. The story is intriguing to say the least. The pig will watch closely.

V.DTA........DENTONIA RESOURCES

The pigs spies tell him this is about to break to the upside. The pig figures after a few days of accumulation, a double may be at hand. Carefully pay attention to the liquidity before jumping. News is expected soon the pig is told.

V.ATT..........ATOCHA RESOURCES

HANG ON TO YOUR HAT !!! At 20 million or so outstanding, a decent news release will send this to a double or even a triple. The pigs porky sense is tingling mightily on this friends. The pig has this as one of his recent favorites.

V.AAA............ALLANA RESOURCES

A small correction due to impatience from the retail side on a lack of news. Hold if you own, buy if you don't and hold it for the long term.

V.ZN..............ZINCCORP RESOURCES

The pigs screening system picked up on this cutlet. The ground level story is news is near, and its pretty exciting ! The pig is in for a few thousand for himself.

      Quebec Heliborne EM / Mag Survey Initiated
=======================================================================

Anglo Canadian Uranium Corp. (TSX-V: URA / Frankfurt: AU3) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce the receipt of a historical ground
based magnetometer and VLF survey conducted in 1981 by Radisson Gold
Corp./Les Mines Messeguay Inc  (GM37096) on the Poularies gold
property, Quebec. This survey will be instrumental in assisting the
Company in future work programs designed at identifying drill targets.
The previous identification of numerous unexplained EM and magnetic
anomalous zones located in the vicinity of the trenching area and
recent positive gold assays (previously announced November 16th, 2009)
has prompted the Company to initiate a detailed heliborne magnetic and
electromagnetic survey over the 693 ha area covered by the Poularies
property. The survey will be accomplished by Geophysics GPR
International Inc. based in Longueuil, Quebec. It is expected that a
combination of narrow 50 m line spacing with high sensitivity and
precision in flight instruments will be able to produce a more detailed
geophysical map of the property while detecting new anomalous zones
possibly related to gold mineralization.

This historical work program identified twelve long and strong
conductors, which correspond to areas of magnetic highs (GM37096 and
GM37097). Two other ground based VLF-EM surveys carried out around the
areas of trenching that exposed gold-bearing quartz veins revealed
several anomalies that remain unexplained to this day, seven of which
are located slightly to the east of the Poularies trenches (GM39614 and
GM37376). In 1983, a ground based magnetometer survey discovered a
significant east-west structure associated with a low magnetic
signature which cut across the property (GM 40189). The Poularies
trenches occur close to the intersection of this EW-oriented structure
with a NS-trending conductor.

The Poularies gold property is located 15 km north of the gold
discovery made by Clifton Star Resources, and is readily accessible to
all facilities and infrastructure. The Clifton Star discovery was
instrumental in attracting the Company to the Noranda area. Over the
past 85 years, the Noranda region has hosted over twenty (20) VMS and
gold deposits. The Poularies property is underlain by Archean
synvolcanic tonalitic rocks of the Poularies pluton that intrude coeval
metavolcanic rocks of the Hunter Mine Group. The main Poularies showing
occurs in trenches exposing gold-bearing cm-thick quartz veins
containing 1 to 8% pyrite that follow a small N10°E to N40°E- oriented
shear zone in altered (chloritized, pyritized and silicified) tonalite
wall rocks.

The Qualified Person for current research efforts and future project
efforts will be Michel Boily, PhD., a registered professional
geoscientist with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec.

Always a good review !

The 22 Rules of Trading
Dennis Gartman

1. Never, under any circumstance add to a losing position.... ever! Nothing more need be said; to do otherwise will eventually and absolutely lead to ruin!
2. Trade like a mercenary guerrilla. We must fight on the winning side and be willing to change sides readily when one side has gained the upper hand.
3. Capital comes in two varieties: Mental and that which is in your pocket or account. Of the two types of capital, the mental is the more important and expensive of the two. Holding to losing positions costs measurable sums of actual capital, but it costs immeasurable sums of mental capital.
4. The objective is not to buy low and sell high, but to buy high and to sell higher. We can never know what price is "low." Nor can we know what price is "high." Always remember that sugar once fell from $1.25/lb to 2 cent/lb and seemed "cheap" many times along the way.
5. In bull markets we can only be long or neutral, and in bear markets we can only be short or neutral. That may seem self-evident; it is not, and it is a lesson learned too late by far too many.
6. "Markets can remain illogical longer than you or I can remain solvent," according to our good friend, Dr. A. Gary Shilling. Illogic often reigns and markets are enormously inefficient despite what the academics believe.
7. Sell markets that show the greatest weakness, and buy those that show the greatest strength. Metaphorically, when bearish, throw your rocks into the wettest paper sack, for they break most readily. In bull markets, we need to ride upon the strongest winds... they shall carry us higher than shall lesser ones.
8. Try to trade the first day of a gap, for gaps usually indicate violent new action. We have come to respect "gaps" in our nearly thirty years of watching markets; when they happen (especially in stocks) they are usually very important.
9. Trading runs in cycles: some good; most bad. Trade large and aggressively when trading well; trade small and modestly when trading poorly. In "good times," even errors are profitable; in "bad times" even the most well researched trades go awry. This is the nature of trading; accept it.
10. To trade successfully, think like a fundamentalist; trade like a technician. It is imperative that we understand the fundamentals driving a trade, but also that we understand the market's technicals. When we do, then, and only then, can we or should we, trade.
11. Respect "outside reversals" after extended bull or bear runs. Reversal days on the charts signal the final exhaustion of the bullish or bearish forces that drove the market previously. Respect them, and respect even more "weekly" and "monthly," reversals.
12. Keep your technical systems simple. Complicated systems breed confusion; simplicity breeds elegance.
13. Respect and embrace the very normal 50-62% retracements that take prices back to major trends. If a trade is missed, wait patiently for the market to retrace. Far more often than not, retracements happen... just as we are about to give up hope that they shall not.
14. An understanding of mass psychology is often more important than an understanding of economics. Markets are driven by human beings making human errors and also making super-human insights.
15. Establish initial positions on strength in bull markets and on weakness in bear markets. The first "addition" should also be added on strength as the market shows the trend to be working. Henceforth, subsequent additions are to be added on retracements.
16. Bear markets are more violent than are bull markets and so also are their retracements.
17. Be patient with winning trades; be enormously impatient with losing trades. Remember it is quite possible to make large sums trading/investing if we are "right" only 30% of the time, as long as our losses are small and our profits are large.
18. The market is the sum total of the wisdom ... and the ignorance...of all of those who deal in it; and we dare not argue with the market's wisdom. If we learn nothing more than this we've learned much indeed.
19. Do more of that which is working and less of that which is not: If a market is strong, buy more; if a market is weak, sell more. New highs are to be bought; new lows sold.
20. The hard trade is the right trade: If it is easy to sell, don't; and if it is easy to buy, don't. Do the trade that is hard to do and that which the crowd finds objectionable. Peter Steidelmeyer taught us this twenty five years ago and it holds truer now than then.
21. There is never one cockroach! This is the "winning" new rule submitted by our friend, Tom Powell.
22. All rules are meant to be broken: The trick is knowing when... and how infrequently this rule may be invoked!

Go To Gold

Gold as a "Go To" Asset Class

by David & Eric Coffin on 23rd Nov, 2009, 07:38:42 AM EST  We believe there is room for more gold price gain, near term.   A “true” gold market in which the yellow metal is being treated as an asset class in its own right is building around the uncertainties in other markets.  That is different from recent warehousing cycles when gold moved most strongly during the final up stage of a resource/economic cycle.  This time around gold is being treated as a market and currency hedge, not as a goody bag being handed out at the end of a party.  The most interesting note on that score of late is news from India that October saw a large uptick for buying gold in forms such as bars that are used to invest.  This is rather than as jewellery (which often has a low manufacturing premium in India by western standards at any rate) that is bought this time of year for the festival season.  India’s gold and silver traders are amongst the world’s best and it is prudent to note when they stop buying or selling as sign of a top or bottom.  However, India’s is also the world’s biggest physical market for precious metals, so they do come back in to buy if they appear to have misjudged a top.  The early year buyer’s strike in India was quite real as its jewellery market was damaged like others by the credit crunch. In fact Indians were big sellers early year as should be expected of a hedge during a crisis, so there was no misjudgement.  We nonetheless view a large uptick of buying from India at historic high prices (in both $ and Rupee terms) as positive, with the caveat that we need to watch for a reversal of that trade.     
While there is a real enough scent of change in the air, this doesn’t have to be viewed as a large shift from the norm.  A subject we rarely deal with is whether gold is a “commodity” or “money”, for the simple reason that doing so sharpens our sense of the market very little.  In fact, we have little problem with either concept since we view copper and most other metals as a bit of both too, and focus on which is the better choice to deal with at a given moment.  Certainly copper is acting the part of money these days.  The inverse relationship between gold and the US$ can never be worked out of the equation, and should be borne in mind both for holders of the metal and for shareholders.  The two most important off-site variables for a gold mine, or any mine, are energy costs and the interplay between the Dollar and the mine’s local currency and the company’s accounting currency in which operating costs are borne and recorded. 
In a rising price environment almost all producers will see gains, but the better choices will be companies undergoing expansion and those in friendlier cost environments.  Asset holding companies with large deposits of low grade should also being doing well in this environment, and it’s wise to consider why they aren’t if they appear to be going nowhere.  Asset expansion companies still in exploration phase have been seeing mixed results, with some darlings bounding ahead while others seemed fixed in place.  So long as the latter group are relatively undervalued based on current data, they should have their day again as profit-takings take place for the darlings.  Now through the year end, and especially into next year, is typically when that takes place.  Our top producer pick from the Gold Mining Stock Report list has had a +25% uptick since we noted it as such in last month’s Dispatch.  Now that most Q3 reporting is now out, it’s time to update it and some others.  It’s also important to keep in mind that a portfolio winnowing process can and often should also get underway in a rising market.

Australian stock market expected to trend upwards

Asian markets: Week ahead:

Australian stock market expected to trend upwards

SYDNEY: The Australian stock market is expected to trend upwards in the week ahead, led by resources shares boosted by the improving outlook for commodities, dealers said Friday. For the week ending Nov 20, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 closed down 20 points, or 0.44 percent, at 4,685.8. Dealers said resources stocks were expected to continue to support the market as it became clear that built-in commodity prices have been too pessimistic, CMC Markets equities broker David Barrett-Lennard said. “I feel like the market has got further to go,” he said. “The December rally is well anticipated at the moment.” Chris Weston, from IG Markets, said Australian shares were dragged lower by finance and materials stocks Friday but noted that the market “uptrend” was still intact. afp

South Korean market tipped to remain steady

SEOUL: South Korea’s stock market is expected to take a breather in the coming week as investors await further momentum, analysts said Friday. They expect the market to face strong resistance against further rises when the benchmark KOSPI index comes close to 1,630-1,650 points. The KOSPI ended Friday at 1,620.60, gaining 3.1 percent for the week. “Following a recent rally, the market is likely to face resistance in the coming week,” SK Securities analyst Choi Sung-Rak told AFP. “But investors may hold their stocks, waiting for (the) next rally,” he said. Lee Seung-Woo, an analyst at Daewoo Securities, noted trading volume had remained light since mid-September, telling Yonhap news agency that “there is a strong tendency among investors to wait and see”. Samsung Securities analyst Oh Hyun-Seok said the KOSPI was likely to face short-term resistance at 1,650. afp

Japanese shares may face another bout of selling pressure

TOKYO: Japanese shares are likely to face another bout of selling pressure next week amid jitters over weakness in global stock markets, analysts say. “Selling pressure is likely to remain strong next week following the recent stagnant performance overseas,” said Mayumi Yamamoto, analyst at Daiwa Securities SMBC. Over the week to Nov 20, the benchmark Nikkei-225 index lost 272.63 points, or 2.79 percent, to 9,497.68. The broader Topix index of all first section shares fell 28.09 points, or 3.24 percent, to 838.71. Worries about Mitsubishi UFJ’s plans to issue new shares overshadowed prospects for Japanese stocks, market participants said. Market strategists now expect other banks to follow suit, sparking concerns that the value of existing shares will be diluted. Concerns over economic policies introduced by Japan’s new government also made the market cautious about trading amid growing signs of deflation in the Japanese economy, analysts said. afp

Singapore share prices to rise ahead of expected year-end rally

SINGAPORE: Singapore share prices are seen to rise next week ahead of an expected year-end rally, analysts said Friday. The blue-chip Straits Times Index closed at 2,761.54 for the week, up 34.31 points, or 1.26 percent, from the previous week. “Nineteen years of history favours a November/December year-end rally,” Citigroup said in a research note. It said the best performing years for the local stock market were usually those associated with periods when the economy was coming out of recession. Singapore on Thursday declared a severe recession over after two straight quarters of growth and predicted the economy would expand by up to five percent in 2010. “Book values are starting to expand again after being stagnant for the past two years, led by the banks’ book expansion,” Citigroup said. Over the past week, average daily volume was 1.48 billion shares worth 1.38 billion Singapore dollars (one billion US), compared to 1.25 billion shares valued at 1.34 billion dollars the week before. afp

Taiwan chips expected to stay in narrow range

TAIPEI: Taiwan share prices are expected to stay in a narrow range next week amid concerns over further Wall Street volatility, dealers said Friday. Large-cap electronic firms may remain weak as investors fear US high-tech stocks will suffer more declines on uncertainty over the industrial outlook, they said. Sentiment has turned cautious ahead of the scheduled release of third-quarter economic data Thursday, which will provide a clearer picture of the local climate, they added. The market is expected to encounter heavy pressure as it moves closer to 7,800 points next week, while any downside pressure may be cushioned at around 7,600, dealers said. For the week to November 20, the weighted index rose 17.34 points or 0.23 percent to 7,682.97 after a 2.71 percent increase a week earlier. Average daily turnover stood at 134.30 billion Taiwan dollars (4.15 billion US), compared with 95.52 billion dollars a week ago. afp

Thailand’s scrips may weaken ahead of mass anti-govt rally

BANGKOK: Thailand’s stock market is likely to weaken next week ahead of a mass anti-government rally expected to add to recent domestic political turmoil, an analyst said. The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) composite index shed 3.08 points or 0.44 percent over the past week to close Friday at 695.25 points. The daily average trading value fell 23.3 percent from a week earlier to 16.3 billion baht ($490.2 million). “It would be difficult for the market to make headway next week... because the Red Shirts have planned a mass protest to press the government to quit,” said Kosin Sripaiboon, an analyst at UOB Kay Hian Securities (Thailand).

THE PIGS COMMODITY NEWS OF THE WEEK.....

Record $60 bln invested in commodities 2009-BarCap

Record $60 bln invested in commodities 2009-BarCap

Fri Nov 20, 2009 8:50am EST

* $60 bln seen invested 2009 vs $51 bln prev record in 2006
* Assets under management year-end to total $230-240 billion

LONDON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - A record $60 billion will have poured into commodities by the end of this year, Barclays Capital said, after a dip in oil prices provided an entry point for investors seeking to diversify into riskier assets.
"Investment flows into commodity markets have come in at unprecedented levels this year," Barclays Capital said in a research report dated Nov. 19.
"Absent any significant reversal in the macroeconomic outlook, we expect investment flows to remain strong throughout Q4 2009, heading for a record high of $60 billion for the year as a whole and with commodity assets under management (AUMs) likely to end the year at about $230-240 billion."
Barclays Capital's figures showed strong inflows in October continuing into November with total money into commodities year-to-date already approaching a record $55 billion, displacing the previous record of $51 billion in 2006.
The figures cover long-only passive investors such as exchange-traded products, structured products and commodities index swaps.
Those wanting to enter commodities found an opportunity after last year's price crash when oil, for instance, dived towards $32 a barrel, down from a record of nearly $150 hit in July.
U.S. crude futures CLc1 started the year at around $40 a barrel.
"Sharp falls in commodity prices earlier in the year created opportunities for long-term exposure, providing an opportunity for investors to act on their interest in commodities," Barclays said.
It predicted commodities would regain their value as portfolio diversifiers, rising when other asset classes fall.
This year has been an exception in that commodities have risen in line with a rally across a wave of asset classes, driven by the vast amounts of liquidity central banks have provided in response to government stimulus plans.
"The lack of differentiation between asset classes late in 2008 and in the early part of this year did dent investor confidence, but in our view was a mere aberration from the usual trend, rather than the establishment of a new norm," the report said.
Commodity investment returns are now at their highest level since the second quarter.
