Hallo Lucky, PN ist erfolgt.

Habe auch seit 3 Jahren (uppsa, es sind ja schon fast 5 !! ) keinen Fernseher mehr. (Den 11. September hab ich mir gerade noch angeschaut.)

Seitdem fliegen die Drillings der GEZ noch entspannter in den Papierkorb.

Soll mir die Quatschköpfe doch jemand anders durchfüttern.

Gruss,

SEASONS OF GOLD

by Doug Casey

Many are already aware of a resource market phenomenon broadly referred to
as the "quiet season," which we here at Casey Research tend to view as the:

"Shopping Season."

You also might call it summer.

The yellow metal typically shows weakness from February to April, rallies
in May, then heads down for summer. In August, gold typically begins to
rebound and moves up pretty much for the rest of the year. Of course, this
is an average pattern, not an invariable one. In 10 years out of the last
30, gold dropped in the fourth quarter.

Even so, the long-term data suggests the average pattern is worth paying
attention to.

But will the pattern hold up in the current bull market? The historical
data is sparse, in that gold has traded freely only since Nixon closed the
gold window on August 15, 1971. That triggered gold's only secular bull
market so far, from $35 in August 1971 to $850 in January 1980. For the
moment, let's discount that market's first big leg, to Dec 1974 (when gold
reached $200), as catch-up for decades of currency inflation. The best
analogy to our current circumstance is the period from August 1976, when
the metal bottomed at $103, to gold's peak in 1980.

Why should gold bullion have a seasonal pattern? There are several
reasons, among the more important being the jewelry market, which accounts
for about three quarters of the gold sold each year.

What we see for the fourth quarter of each is the impact of the
gift-giving tradition associated with the druid Winter Solstice, now known
as Christmas. Layered on top of that is the Indian festival season of
Diwali, which kicks off in November and continues through the first leg of
the traditional wedding season in December.

You can see noticeable spikes in both January and September, months when
Indian manufacturers typically restock inventories to meet the demands of
the two Indian wedding seasons. The first, mentioned above, starts in
November and ends in December. The second starts in late March and runs
through into early May.

Can Indian jewelry buying be a major driver of gold market seasonality?
Probably. Don't forget that gold, viewed as an industrial commodity, has
been in a primary supply deficit since 1990; more has been used than
produced, and the world has been living out of inventory. Now Western
central banks are slowing their ill-advised selling, and people in China,
Russia, the Mideast and India will be buying in size. Further, in 2005,
investment in gold ETFs and similar financial products showed a 53%
increase, to 203 tonnes. And things are barely starting to warm up.

Given the tight supply and growing demand, this is a market where prices
are very much set on the margin, which is where India plays a role. As you
are no doubt aware, India traditionally has an affinity for gold,
expressed most emphatically in wedding rituals.

The propensity to lavish gold on blushing brides has kept pace with the
country's rapidly rising wealth (its GDP growth has been better than 6%
annually since the early nineties and is expected to top 8.1% in 2006).
Economic success has fostered an entire new Indian middle class and
middle-class wannabes with new-found wealth to be stashed and neighbors to
be impressed. That adds an important new dimension to the gold market,
helped along by a trend for Indian banks to aggressively market loans
specifically for the purpose of buying gold during the wedding season.

In fact, in 2005 Indian gold jewelry sales rose by 25%, and now that
country takes credit for about 23% of the world's consumer gold sales. The
U.S., at #2, takes down just 12%.

Jewelry buying is nice and certainly contributes to gold's seasonality.
But remember, what's really going to supercharge the market is buying by
central banks and the public, as they increasingly realize that the
dollars they're sitting on are melting.

The summer dip in gold, needless to say, doesn't help gold stocks. And
it's amplified by the habits of Canadian brokers, who deal with their
relatively short northern summer by taking relatively long summer
vacations. That means fewer stories being breathlessly told to listeners
with cash.

Even worse, the brokers - wanting to keep their clients safe while they
themselves lounge at lakeside cabins - begin telling clients in March to
sell and sit aside during the summer months, which sucks more air out of
the market. Of course it's not just the gold stocks; there's a lot of
wisdom to the old saw "Sell in May, go away". It's worth noting, however,
that here we are in April and we see little sign of gold stock weakness -
suggesting that there is either less selling going on or more buying from
new-to-sector investors... or, likely, both.

And the people who do the actual exploration generally are busiest in the
summer, typically working in remote areas of the Northern Hemisphere
largely inaccessible in the winter. The absence of explorers from their
offices translates into a dearth of news, made worse by the fact that even
if there were new, the companies would want to hold on to it until it
would do them some good--i.e. when there are brokers actually sitting at
their desks.

To recap, in the summer gold bullion prices soften, resource brokers stop
working the phones, and explorers head out to kick rocks and go
incommunicado. There's a news slowdown, low trading volumes and a flat to
declining market for resource equities from about April 1 to about August
1, give or take a month.

And it is during that quiet period that we happily focus on shopping for
our favorite stocks.

Or at least, that's the way it is supposed to work.

I'm not going to tell you that things are going to be different this year.
But only because the person who tells you "this time is different" is
usually wrong and often walks into a disaster.

However, when pondering gold's seasonality, it's better to look at gold's
daily price action from January 1975 through January 1980. While the
seasonal pattern generally holds up, the trend is clearly for higher lows
and higher highs throughout.

That is, in our view, the track we are currently on. While gold's price
reflects the long-term seasonal pattern, the pattern is overlaid on a
strong upward trend.

And lest you have any doubt, I am convinced we are now in the gold (and
silver) bull market for the record books, a bull market that will surprise
even me with its strength. And that's saying something.

In the way of evidence that this year is going to surprise and delight,
simply look at gold's price action so far. Instead of the seasonal slump
following January, gold has powered ahead and partied on in 2006 and is
now trading at over $620, a 17% increase since the first of the year.

I wouldn't be surprised if gold broke even $750 by year-end. As bad as
things were in the late 1970s, the last secular bull market for gold, they
are much, much worse now, by pretty much every measure. Whether the level
of debt, the size of the entrenched and philosophically unsound
bureaucracy, the Current Account Deficit, the Forever War raging on a
nearly global basis, the entrenched and worsening problems with
entitlement programs, the trillions of perilously perched derivatives...
The list, unfortunately, goes on.

It's hard to see a summer pullback for gold, should there be one, in
anything other than a positive light.

You can keep your powder dry for the next little while and look to pick
stocks for less during dips. Or you can just keep buying, riding the tides
and ignoring the dips altogether. That's the approach I'll be taking...
show me a good company, run by good people, working a good project and
selling at the right price, and I'm a buyer... though at this time of
year, being patient to let the market come to you probably makes the most sense.

If there was one misstep you could make at this point, it would be to get
scared off by the inevitable volatility and step aside until it gets
"safe" to come back in. Too often that results in missing major up-moves.
Trying to pick the tops or bottoms of any market is a fool's game.

A final thought: This market trend is solidly in motion. While it may
periodically scare you as much as it thrills you, at no point doubt that
it is your friend. Treat it accordingly and it will treat you well. In
fact, even better than you likely imagine.

Doug Casey

PPS: ALLES SO SCHÖN BUNT HIER ! (Hagen)

From yesterday’s Midas report by Bill Murphy of LemetropoleCafe.com:

Wetten das ?

“Gold remains way UNDERVALUED and it is not excessive speculation moving this market, but trapped shorts who are increasingly desperate to cover their mounting losing positions. It is the dirty little secret that no one will talk about but MIDAS and the GATA camp. What atrocious market reporting … almost all of it contemptible and embarrassingly off target.

Now, for what lie s ahead. There is room for 150,000 new specs to enter the Comex gold arena from the long side. That lies ahead and can take gold to its historic highs above $850. When will the specs pour in? I don’t know, but it’s coming. This is why Goldman Sachs and fellow Gold Cartel allies are exiting this market as fast as they can without driving up gold $30 per day … after day … after day. Remember,

The Gold Cartel and friends have thousands of tonnes of gold STILL to cover, at some point and in some manner.”
