Gold Climbs Above $1,600 as Cyprus Turmoil Spurs Haven Demand By Phoebe Sedgman - Mar 17, 2013 6:08 PM CT
Gold climbed above $1,600 an ounce as outrage in Cyprus over an unprecedented levy on bank deposits threatened to derail the nation’s bailout and spark a new round in Europe’s debt crisis, boosting demand for haven assets.
Gold for immediate delivery gained as much as 1.1 percent to $1,608.60 an ounce, the highest since Feb. 27, and traded at $1,604.38 at 7:03 a.m. in Singapore. Bullion for April delivery rose as much as 0.9 percent to $1,607.60 on the Comex.
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades bowed to demands by euro-area finance ministers to raise 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) by taking a piece of every bank account in Cyprus. Scenes of Cypriots lining up at cash machines raised the specter of capital flight elsewhere and threatened to disrupt a market calm that settled over the 17-member bloc since the European Central Bank’s pledge in September to backstop troubled nations’ debt.
“Cyprus has put a little bit of a spin back towards safe- haven assets, purely as a result of a little bit of nervousness coming back into Europe,” said Jonathan Barratt, the chief executive officer of Barratt’s Bulletin, a commodity newsletter in Sydney.
Silver for immediate delivery climbed as much as 1.3 percent to $29.135 an ounce and was at $29.006. Platinum rose 0.3 percent to $1,594.25 an ounce, while palladium declined 0.2 percent to $774.75 an ounce.

Another great analysis .... it just shows how increasing government debt via federal reserve easing and QE infinity has fueled market gains. This process is unsustainable. No country or economy has ever printed its way to prosperity.

Gold is honest money. It cannot be counterfeited like paper money. Enough said.
I do not share your view on the merits of mobile technology. All of what you have sited as benefits of mobile technology has lead to an absolute moral degradation of both the American society and youth across the world. If you do believe in God and read the Bible, I would encourage you to read Ezekiel 8:1-18 that discusses the abominations in the temple.

Eric,
I believe you are onto something with the APPL-SPY comparison chart. I believe Apple Computer was the correct stock to use. Six months ago, I made numerous comments about the valuation of Apple stock. At one point last year, Apple stock valuation was worth more than every metal miner on the planet. Something is clearly wrong. This market is set up for a fall of epic proportions. Jim Sinclair from JSMINESET.COM has noted that gold getting ready to run big time with 1600 target to be eclipsed by end of Mar'13 on its way to $3,500.
Again, I agree with you that the APPL chart is indeed a canary in the financial market coal mine.

Shareholder activism has not only started, but it is well along. Some companies like GG and AUY have been conservative and controlled their debt pretty well.
Based on technical data and signals, all of the gold companies are going to run once gold gives the green light. I suspect it will be like throwing darts a dart board in picking a winner.

Gold is close to hitting an all time high in YEN terms once again. Did you note the reversal in the dollar today, 14Mar13, to the downside? An all time high for gold in Dollar terms not too far behind. So what will be the potential trigger point? Unexpected middleast conflict. See Isaiah 17:1-2, Isaiah 19:1-6 and Psalm 83 to name just a few.
Japan in its misguided YEN crash policy has unleashed the next black swan which will shortly arrive at a country near you.

States Crack Down on Top Earners Who Flee as Levies Rise: Taxes By Margaret Collins – Mar 13, 2013 12:00 AM ET
With professional golfers and hedge fund managers talking about moving to lower-tax enclaves, states are stepping up audits on top earners who flee.
Several states including California and Maryland raised taxes on high earners last year, and Congress boosted federal levies on them. Families who look to change their domicile to a state with no income taxes such as Florida or Nevada open themselves up to years of scrutiny and possible litigation as local governments search for revenue.
“I look at some of these domicile audits almost as an archeological dig and a full physical including MRIs and CAT scans,” said David Scott Sloan, a partner who advises high net worth families at Boston-based Holland & Knight LLP. “What we’re seeing at least in Massachusetts is the tax authorities are not going quietly into the night.”
States are using automated programs to track down residents who say they have moved and may be keeping two residences, and officials are seeking to tax earnings on stock awards beyond their borders. In Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton proposed a so- called snowbird tax that would lower the number of days a person spends in the state before having to file a return.
Some families are considering moving from high-tax states such as California and New York to a lower — or-no tax — state because tax rates are climbing, said Jim Steiner, president of Abbot Downing, a unit of Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) whose new clients generally have at least $50 million in investable assets.

Hebba,
Using your analysis, not including all the detail of the analysis in this note, it is looking like AUY will make about $0.23-to-$0.24 per share in the first quarter of 2013. It should be noted that this earnings number is about where the analysts are pegging AUY to be at this time. It is also very apparent that earnings will be rise or fall depending on direction of price for the underlying precious and industrial metal commodities. One point to note is that AUY earnings outcome has tremendous leverage (3 to 1) to gold and silver price. Copper price will influence cost/ounce.
It explains why the miners are not moving ... they are waiting for the green light from gold.

timtim280,
"Revolution" has already arrived ... Glenn's timing is a bit off. Note we have had mining CEOs (KGC, ABX, etc..) get fired. Rationalization of assets well underway with focus on how quickly they can turn ounces in the ground into cash flow. The days of the multi-billion dollar, multi-decade boondoggle projects are over.
Case in point: AUY and GG have already altered their strategies to optimize operations a year ago. Both AUY and GG are continuing to grow reserves after depletion on existing mining properties. Exploration and need for talented geologists has become the battle call of the day.
I think these guys get it ... we at the dawn of a new era for these companies that began in 2012.
