  • Pricing A Highly Probable Takeover Of MannKind [View article]
    And don't forget those of us who don't like to "do the honors" for our diabetic loved ones. Its not an easy thing to do, especially when its not done well each time and inflicts extra pain. Its heartbreaking to hear them afterwards to still say, "thank you"...

  • Palladium Supply Deficit Likely To Continue Until 2017 [View article]
    I have no position in it but like the recycling PGM story. Yes they need to find funding or do a JV soon so they can build the bigger 200 TPD plant. If they can do that, they can get some cash flow going. I'm just saying its worth monitoring this story for a while. Their inability to find funding yet speaks volumes though.

  • Gold Going To $500? [View article]
    Anyone catch the story of Soros, Paulson, and Cohen buying positions in junior gold miners, mainly call options? $183m total between them.

  • Gold Going To $500? [View article]
    When the tech bubble burst in 2001, and the RE market bubble burst in 2007 no one pronounced them "dead asset" classes. Yet when gold has a correction after a long profitable run, suddenly its a dead asset class. Puleeze. Keynesians need to destroy gold as an asset class because they know its fiat money's biggest threat. Gold going to $5000 someday makes them lose sleep like nothing else.

    Let interest rates start to climb and watch all hell break loose when that large mass on the Fed's books shift from static energy to kinetic when it gets rolling downhill.

    37% of China's imports the last 12 months were gold. They don't want our paper after taking a beating with it especially the last few years, so who will buy it? Oh yes, the Fed. The one you said "did an outstanding job". The dollar's days are numbered.

  • MannKind's Afrezza Likely To Easily Gain Approval [View article]
    Its the usual run up into the announcement. If it didn't run up some, I'd be worried.

  • Gold, Currency Dilution - And Should The Market Go Higher? [View article]
    Not sure why the "smackdown", but the world is loaded with Keynesians (especially at the Central Banks, IMF) who see no value in the metals. Why naked shorts are legal in commodities trading mystifies me but its done and things like this can happen without holding the metal. You could speculate that they are leasing it, selling it but who knows. Many use it with no emotional attachment as a hedge for trades and no intent to hold the metal for investment.

    What I have been seeing is strength in AU and Hong Kong metals market and selling in Zurich and London.

  • Gold, Currency Dilution - And Should The Market Go Higher? [View article]
    If we believe the same financial and economic causes will have the same effects as in the past, namely excessive money printing and borrowing, then there is a course of action that is dictated: buy hard assets. That is the lesson of history, and for a very long time. PM's should be there at LEAST as a hedge for the unthinkable. Don't go wobbly and fall for the short sighted view of the all-is-well-with-the- dollar crowd. Project where it all will lead if policies do not change and its not pretty. Its a Potemkin Village that they are portraying.

    Just because inflation has not happened yet doesn't mean people like Schiff are wrong. The Fed's bloated balance sheet has been described as "static energy" that is growing in mass. When it gets rolling that static energy becomes kinetic, then watch out. To people like Schiff its not a matter of IF but WHEN it happens, and the fact that it has not happened yet does not negate the point. Perhaps it would be useful to spend time reading about the effect of excessive money printing in post WW1 Germany, or Zimbabwe.

    Pro-Or (POI.V) could be an interesting long term play as a PGM recycler of autocats.

    No comment on their recent statements that their cash costs and grades will not be within past guidance?

  • First Majestic Silver: Strong Growth, Strategic Genius [View article]
    Any ideas on whats going on at GORO not putting out their 2012 Annual Report yet, and an NI 43-101 report that doesn't include reserve estimates. Strange goings on over there.

    What a contrast to S. African miners who could emulate AG with their community relations philosophy, where they are partners instead of adversaries.
