  • Hallo @ alle, hallo Edelman,


    muss sich der Silber EFT nicht zumindest in gewissen Teilen schon vor eines offiziellen Startes mit Silber eindecken?


    Jedenfalls sind wir 8 min vor Handelsschluss bei Silber über 3% im Plus. Das lässt auch auf nächste Woche hoffen. Auch und gerade, weil es gegen die Euro/Dollar-Entwicklung gelingt.


    So ein Drive hat gerade Silber mal gefehlt.

    Wahrschlich laufen die Goldbugs hier allmählich heiß,


    Schon möglich das etwas neues angebrochen ist.


    Hier meine bescheidener Beitrag zu dem heutigen Tag


    Gold ist schon des Teufels Werk. Zwischen Himmeln und Hölle ist oft nur ein schmaler Grat. Man stelle sich nur mal vor das 17 Jahren notwendig waren
    diese Höchstände wieder zu sehen. Was für ein Glaube ist hier bzw. extremes langfristiges Denken notwendig, um solche ein Durchhalteveremögen durchzuziehen. Man stelle sich nur einmal vor jemand sagt zu dir: Du mußt 17 Jahre durchhalten, damit du wieder deine Einstiegskurse siehst . Der muss doch den Glauben an alles Gute auf dieser Welt verlieren. Jeder der auch nur im geringsten sich mit dieser Goldmaterie beschäftigt muß erkennen, daß die Götterdämmerung im Finanzwesen angebrochen ist. Spätestens heute stehen die Zeichen des Papiergeldes auf Zerfall. Sicherlich nicht in einem großen Knall, aber kontenuierlich auf die nächsten Monate und Jahre hin. Es wird mehr und mehr egal sein was Dollar oder Euro tun, es wird egal sein was für oder gegen eine Währung spricht, es wird egal sein welche Hebel das FIAT Money bewegt. Daß Ende des Papiergeldes wird leise und klein eingeläutet, und wird auf seinem Leidensweg des Zerfalls , mit Getöse enden. Die Auferstehung des ralen Geldes wird begleitet von der Sonne der Hoffnung, die der Götterdämmerung entsprungen ist.

    Aus einem Kommentar von T.Butler vom 7.09.2005:
    *********************************
    Nun weiß ich, dass der Silber-ETF möglicherweise niemals zugelassen wird, wie ich in „Der kommende Silber-ETF“ geschrieben habe. Aber ein genaues Studieren des Prospektes deutet darauf hin, dass Barclays selbst wenn er zugelassen wird, keine Anteile ausgeben darf, solange er kein eigenes physisches Silber besitzt.


    Daher kann Barclays nicht auf die regulative Zulassung warten, bis sie Arrangements treffen um physisches Silber zu erhalten. Er muss bereits vor der Zulassung über eine anständige Menge Silber verfügen, da alleine die Ankündigung der Zulassung, falls sie kommt, einen Einfluss auf den Silberpreis haben wird. Ich glaube immer noch, dass der Silber-ETF sehr positiv für Silber sein wird, egal ob er zugelassen wird oder nicht, weil es beweisen wird, wie knapp physisches Silber in jedem Fall ist. Jeder Kauf des ETF (oder die Umwandlung von Futures in physische Lieferung) wird Silber nach oben treiben, bzw. wird es nur zu einer Absage der Regulatoren kommen, weil diese wissen, dass das physische Silber gar nicht existiert um den Fonds zu decken. Die Absage von nur einem einzigen ETF wird allen beweisen, wie selten Silber im Vergleich zu Gold ist, wo es viele ETFs gibt, die den Preis nicht beeinflussten. Sogar der einfachste Beobachter wird feststellen müssen, dass Silber viel seltener ist als Gold, wenn die Regulatoren nicht einmal einen, verglichen mit den vielen beim Gold, erbärmlichen Silber-ETF zulassen.


    Ich denke immer noch, dass der Silber-ETF hinter einigen der Futureskäufen der Commercials steckt und notiere mit Interesse, dass, falls es wahr ist, es beleuchtet wie es der COMEX geht, wenn Silber gekauft werden muss, da nur ziemlich wenig Silber in London oder sonst wo verfügbar ist. Alles in allem sollte man überlegen, warum man unter der relativ klaren Transparenz der COMEX einkauft, wenn man es viel diskreter in London oder Zürich tun kann? Besonders wenn das Prospekt eine Lagerung in London vorsieht.Nun weiß ich, dass der Silber-ETF möglicherweise niemals zugelassen wird, wie ich in „Der kommende Silber-ETF“ geschrieben habe. Aber ein genaues Studieren des Prospektes deutet darauf hin, dass Barclays selbst wenn er zugelassen wird, keine Anteile ausgeben darf, solange er kein eigenes physisches Silber besitzt.

    Arbeit in einer Goldmine Brasiliens


    16. September 2005 Der Goldpreis ist am Freitag in New York auf den höchsten Stand seit dem Jahr 1988 geklettert und steuert auf den dritten Wochengewinn in Folge zu. Am Spotmarkt in London zog der Preis für eine Feinunze (rund 31 Gramm) Gold um 0,7 Prozent auf 459 Dollar. In New York stieg der Dezemberkontrakt auf Gold um 0,7 Prozent auf 462,30 Dollar.


    Viele Anleger kaufen das Edelmetall, um sich gegen steigende Verbraucherpreise und Energiekosten abzusichern. Anzeichen für Inflation in den Vereinigten Staaten, der hohe Ölpreis und die Aussicht auf eine Wachstumsverlangsamung treiben den Goldpreis nach Einschätzung von Analysten. Die Verbraucherpreise in Amerika sind mit einer Jahresrate von 3,9 Prozent gestiegen, verglichen mit 3,5 Prozent ein Jahr zuvor. Auch als Alternative zu Devisenanlagen gewinnt Gold an Beliebtheit.


    Sinkender Respekt für alle Währungen


    "Es zeigt einen sinkenden Respekt für alle Währungen", erläutert Dennis Gartman, Volkswirt und Herausgeber des Gartman Letter. "Gold hat erst dann eine Hausse, wenn der Preis in allen Währungen gemessen steigt, und das tut er derzeit." Gemessen in Yen liegt der Goldpreis auf dem höchsten Stand seit August 1991. Für dieses Jahr liegt er 15 Prozent im Plus. Der Goldpreis in Euro ist in diesem Jahr um 18 Prozent gestiegen.


    In Indien stieg der Oktober-Kontrakt auf Gold an der Multi Commodity Exchange of India in Mumbai um 0,2 Prozent auf 6519 Rupien je zehn Gramm. Indien ist der größte Abnehmer für Gold weltweit, das vor allem in der Schmuckindustrie zum Einsatz kommt. Die Schmuckindustrie hatte im vergangenen Jahr einen Anteil von 68 Prozent am Goldhandel und kaufte in den vergangenen zwölf Monaten Gold im Rekordwert von 38 Milliarden Dollar, berichtete der Verband der Goldschmuckhersteller im September.

    Positiv sehe ich, das der Optimismus sowohl hier als auch auf gold-eagle

    ist noch grün.


    Positiv sehe ich auch, dass der Aktien-Umsatz bei NEM (Newmont Mining)

    Get Ready to Turn Down Your Thermostat


    Author: Monty Guild


    HEATING OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRICES WILL BE HIGH THIS WINTER, IMPACTING INFLATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

    As many of you know, heating oil and natural gas markets are local in their focus as opposed to oil and gold markets which are global. This is because it is expensive to transport natural gas over long distances, except by pipeline. This rules out ocean transport without very expensive and politically controversial facilities.


    Let me assure all readers that energy prices for home heating in the U.S. and Europe will be very high this coming winter. This will have a depressing effect on economic growth. At the same time, the U.S. will probably continue to raise interest rates due to its desire to keep inflation - especially in housing prices - from gaining a stronger foothold.

    As a result, consumers are caught in the middle and retail sales will suffer once the heating season begins. Sales trends today are obscured by auto discounts and one time changes from recent natural disasters.


    Economists don't look at monthly numbers. They look at trends over several months. Removing the effects of Katrina, I would be calling for a big decline in consumer spending this winter due to higher heating prices. In actuality, consumer spending will decline but the big spending of Federal dollars on the hurricane-ravaged regions will moderate the decline.


    WHEN THE U.S. SPENDS MORE AT HOME, THEY WILL SPEND LESS ABROAD

    The U.S. will spend more in the Gulf of Mexico area and it is already hinting at a reduction of troop levels in Iraq, as well as a removal of most troops from Afghanistan. The net effect will be good for the U.S. economy. Direct spending of a dollar in the U.S. will create better economic growth than a dollar spent on military activity in Afghanistan. This will moderate the effect of higher energy prices and we expect U.S. economic growth to slow but not stop.


    In our opinion, slower U.S. economic growth combined with rising interest rates (to slow the housing bubble and combat inflation) will cause economic growth to shift from consumer spending to investment in natural resources. That is good for gold.


    WHERE WILL THE LIQUIDITY FLOW WHEN IT LEAVES REAL ESTATE? OVER THE LONG TERM, IT WILL FLOW INTO COMMODITIES, INCLUDING GOLD


    Currently, there are opposing inflationary and deflationary forces afoot in the U.S. as well as in Europe and Asia. Inflation, caused by higher energy prices, is being exacerbated by the economic policies creating liquidity in much of the developed world. Japan, Europe, Asia and the U.S. are all expanding liquidity simultaneously.


    This liquidity has to find a home. It has to be invested somewhere. It has been crowding into real estate due to low interest rates and absurdly unwise lending policies by financial institutions. Institutions have been using derivatives and other means to package loans and resell them to investors. This game is ending and real estate prices will soon start to fall because interest rates to finance real estate will continue to rise.

    Where will the liquidity go? Let us assume for a minute that we are sophisticated global investors. What trends do we see on the horizon? We see a continuance of the desire of China, India and other countries to enter the global economic system. How will they accomplish their goals? They will manufacture goods and sell services to the developed countries at a big price discount. If they want to manufacture goods, they need raw materials.


    We all know that there is a global race to acquire the raw materials needed to grow their manufacturing industries. These raw materials include commodities needed to manufacture goods, and the one investment that is a long term hedge against the wild behavior of governments everywhere is GOLD.


    SUMMARY

    When liquidity rises, demand for gold will eventually rise. To put it another way, massive injections of liquidity create dislocations of many types. Gold is a hedge against these dislocations.

    Gold and Dollar Market Summary


    Author: Dan Norcini




    Gold bulls showed their mettle today smashing through COT’s Maginot Line at $459-$460 like it was non-existent. Gold call sellers of the 460’s were forced to eat those today and had no choice but to buy futures again.

    Funds continue their buying. Plenty of new money came in yesterday with the open interest increasing over 17,000 new contracts, bringing us to 343,286 as of Thursday.


    The strong showing in gold with it notching a 17-year high is attracting all manner of attention. The result is that plenty of speculators want in. Goodness gracious, even CNBC mentioned the word “gold” today more times I think than they did all year. One thing is for sure – gold is definitely on the radar screen of a goodly portion of the investment world and has entered into the second phase of its generational bull market. COT will have its work cut out for them.


    Eurogold came in at €374.294 for the PM Fix and continues to move steadily higher. Its chart is very strong.


    Both the HUI and the XAU put in performances that can only be called “stunning.” The HUI blasted through its March high and is within striking distance of last year’s November peak at 248.18. It closed today at 239.54.
    The XAU continues to soar and is less than one point shy of its November peak at 111.50, finishing today at 110.54.


    The weekly charts of both indices are exemplary and reveal what took place this week. Many of the gold and silver shares woke up and managed upside breakouts of broad trading ranges that have held them in confinement for the better part of this year. The South African miners, which have been mostly lethargic this year, really came to life today: GOLD, GFI and HMY all looked very solid.


    Even silver got in on the fun – finally. Strength in gold yanked it north and it ripped into the fund buy stops that were sitting above the market, barely setting back at all during the session as the buying came in nearly continuously. Its close above that tough resistance band near 712-715 puts it squarely on target to challenge the August highs near 740.


    The big data release today was the current account number. The current account deficit for Q2 narrowed to -$195.7 billion but only because the numbers for Q1 were upwardly revised. The Commerce Department revised the first quarter gap to a record -$198.7 billion versus the -$195.1 billion deficit that they had initially reported last month. Without the upward revision to last month’s number, we would have seen the CA deficit increase. Even at that, the shortage was the second highest on record. The market had been looking for a number closer to -$193 billion.


    What is numbing about this number (a little word play there) is that Commerce has a habit of revising these things and they always seem to grow larger. If the trend continues, we are talking about a Current Account Deficit for 2005 approaching -$800 billion.


    With the federal budget deficit projections continuing to rise and come in closer to -$400 billion, we have the very real possibility that the combined yearly deficits will be in the vicinity of -$1.1 trillion. That is personally mindboggling to me. What is also interesting about this report is that the investment income balance went negative.


    The Treasury also released its International Capital Flows data today for the month of July which came in at a much higher than expected $87.4 billion compared to expectations of $60.0 billion. The US trade deficit was $57.9 billion in July so this was more than ample to cover the shortfall there.


    Net foreign purchases of US debt, both government in the form of Treasuries and agency debt, in addition to corporate debt accounted for the bulk of the flows. Equities were basically a wash. Amazingly, the world continues with its appetite for dollar-denominated debt. Quite frankly, this astonishes me. For now, the American party at the expense of the rest of the global community continues. As long as they are willing to lend us their money, it appears the show will go on.


    The dollar, which first reacted a bit negatively to the current account info, moved up some when the TIC data was released. Even with that data, it could not manage a higher close for the day and settled down a tad at 87.81. If the dollar cannot get above 88.55 very soon, it will head down and either establish a range trade or break through support and resume the next leg in its long-established bear market.


    The Canadian dollar was strong all day even in the face of weaker crude prices. It continues its trek steadily upward and onward and could very well become one of the strongest performers among the major currencies. Canada is resource rich, especially in oil, and that should tend to keep money flows there quite strong.


    Meanwhile back in La-La land, equity bears managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory once again as the stock market made another of those “remarkable recoveries" to save itself on the technical charts. Another down day today would have been the coup de grace for the S&P and the Nasdaq on the weekly chart. That would have been a no-no.


    The reason given for the rally, as if we really need one these days, is that the bulls were optimistic about all that federal money that was promised in last evening’s speech by the President and the impact on the economy. Talk about forward looking!


    The stock market seems to have some sort of morbid fascination with government indebtedness. Coming on the heels of yesterday’s abysmal Philly Fed business index and shaky Empire State Manufacturing survey, the bulls are running on nothing but hope as there is certainly nothing justifying their current giddiness from a fundamental standpoint. All of the recent economic data has been especially shaky and reveals an economy with decelerating momentum.


    I keep coming back to the point I have often made in these reports. Based upon the thinking of current equity investors, the best thing that could now happen to the US would be a massive earthquake along the San Andreas Fault line coupled with a direct hit of another portion of the Gulf Coast by a new hurricane. We would easily see DOW 12,000 should that occur since the federal government could have even more money to throw at the subsequent rebuilding efforts. I suppose we can just endlessly print money to fix things in this country and never worry about paying the piper.


    What a fairytale land so many of these guys live in. The University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index fell to a 13-year low of 76.9 in early September from 89.1 in August. The number was even worse than what the market had expected. Never mind was the attitude – we are going to be getting lots of FREE federal money to fix things so it’s “no worries mate” time again.


    Crude oil prices were down as well with gasoline getting hit especially hard. Perhaps that gave equity bulls some more Rah-Rah juice. Strange how one of the reasons given for the equity rally was a brokerage upgrade of Exxon by Deutsche Bank which raised its rating from “hold” to “buy,” saying that oil supplies are likely to remain tight over the coming year.


    Oh I get it now: We should buy Exxon because oil prices will remain so tight over the next year but we should also buy other stocks as well because energy prices are falling and becoming cheap for consumers once again. Makes perfect sense to me. Don’t try to figure it out as you will only harm your brain.


    Gasoline is now back at levels last seen the week prior to Katrina. The talk is that the sharp rise in prices that resulted from the storm shut down demand. A simple glance at the price charts of both unleaded and heating oil reveals that we only just imagined Katrina. It never really occurred. All those refineries are just fine thank you. Hope the upcoming winter is mild.


    Bonds continued breaking down as more and more of the flattening trades are lifted and the curve begins to get back to more “normal” levels. For now, even rising interest rates cannot dampen the equity bulls’ giddiness. It’s time to chase those “cheap” stocks higher again.


    Chatter among the equity bulls that the Fed will pause in its interest rate hike schedule is obviously being lost on bond bears who continue dragging the yield on the all- important Ten Year Note higher. Think adjustable rate mortgages…


    That’s it for now. I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend with your family and loved ones.

  • @ Tschonko, du hast Recht, Katrina war der Ausloeser fuer den Anstieg.
    Bin gespannt wie die Vollmondwoche ausgeht.


    Was hat Bin L und George Bush gemeinsam ?
    Man kann ihr Gehirn nicht auffinden. :D


    Das wird noch ein Zirkus, die Amis sind in trouble fast ueberall und der Krieg in Irak wird ein zweites Vietnam fuer sie. Der Islamische Hass baut sich immer mehr auf, der dritte Weltkrieg ist in der Pipeline wenn sie nicht abruecken. :(


    MMA COMMENTS FOR THE WEEK
    BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 19, 2005


    Longer-Term Thoughts:


    8o Wow!... Was that really President George W. Bush speaking to the nation Thursday night about a massive rebuilding plan for New Orleans and other Gulf regions destroyed by Hurricane Katrina? Or was it Mr. Bush channeling the spirits of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bill Clinton, and other noted Liberal democrats from the past? Now I could spend a good part of this week’s letter pointing out how this ambitious plan will surely fit into the downside of the Saturn-Pluto cycle (higher taxes and/or increased federal deficits), but the truth is that I am impressed with his vision that demonstrates more compassion and less denial of responsibility than anything I have observed from the White House in the past five years. And yes, the cost of rebuilding the Gulf area has just increased from about $65 billion to perhaps $200-300 billion, which will only add to the Federal deficit. And yes, if Mr. Bush’s history of estimating costs is any indication, the actual cost will probably more than double that. But it is indeed a refreshing change of course to see the self-proclaimed “compassionate conservative” actually demonstrate a plan that speaks of some real compassion for people who have indeed suffered.



    Now the real test comes to see if Mr. Bush can actually deliver want he promises, while at the same time building upon the unifying forces of support for his vision. We all know what happened following the 9-11 disaster. He had the world in his hands, selflessly offering to help the United States . But all of the “good will” generated from the disaster back then quickly turned to resentment as many of the international offers of support were turned away, and the White House decided to invoke a war in Iraq on premises that are to this day unproven.



    So Mr. Bush has a second chance (how lucky is this man?) to step up in the face of a great disaster, and exhibit needed leadership. He wasn’t lacking in ideas about what needs to be done. And the country ( United States ) will support him. Now it is up to him to deliver this vision in a manner that shows competence, and not ineptitude, poor grasp of the realities of the situation, bungling of efforts, and politicizing/partisan decisions. If he can succeed, then his legacy as a positive force in American history may be assured. But if he blows this like he blew the War on Terrorism in Iraq , and fails to generate a real coalition of supporters (this time within the various branches of U.S. government instead of international government), the Conservatives will be done for several years. And so will the financial security of our children and their children. Everything now rides upon his ability to deliver on this vision of “compassionate conservatism,” which now has the power to unify the people of this nation. With transiting Saturn beginning to conjunct Mr. Bush’s Ascendant, Mercury, and Pluto for the next ten months, this is really his “make it or break it” time in life. And for that matter, it is also the “make it or break it” time for the United States . Depending on his success in realizing progress in this vision in the next ten months, I would say that 2008-2010 will either be a great peak in economic activity and new all-time highs in U.S. stock markets, or a period which will witness the decline of the U.S. stock market by 60-90%, and a devastating recession (or several). Based on his speech, I am now favoring the more positive outlook. But then again, I felt that way after his speech to Congress following the 9-11 attack. I hope that I – and you – are not disappointed again this time, for truly, this vision (in my opinion) has powerful positive economic and psychological implications for this country, for this planet, for the next 3-5 years.



    Review and Preview:


    The announcement of the massive rebuilding effort (and proposed spending) in the wake of Hurricane Katrina had a positive effect upon U.S. stocks on Friday, but the opposite effect upon the U.S. Treasury markets. The idea of increasing budget deficits means greater borrowing needs by the U.S. Treasury, and that translates into higher interest rates. It may also cause concern about higher inflation, which is already a concern amidst the recent record highs in crude oil prices. Consequently, prices of precious metals also soared last week, especially in Gold – as expected, per last week’s column, related to the forthcoming Mars retrograde factor of October 1.

    In world equity markets, some countries witnessed new multi-year highs last week, including the German DAX and London FTSE in Europe, the Australian All Ordinaries and the Japanese Nikkei in the Pacific Rim, and both the Merval of Argentina and Bovespa of Brazil in South America. In the United States , both the NASDAQ Composite and Dow Jones Industrial Average made their weekly highs last Monday, and then fell into their weekly low on Thursday. But both staged impressive recoveries on Friday, following Mr. Bush’s bold rebuilding proposals outlined in his speech Thursday night.



    Short-Term Geocosmics:


    The Mars retrograde effect is starting. On Thursday, Gold gapped up to a new 17-year high, followed by another gap up to 463.70 on Friday. Silver followed with a strong 20-cent rally on Friday to its highest level in over a month. Not only did Mars retrograde show up in the predictable precious metals markets, but it also showed its war-like aggressive aside in mundane affairs too. Over 200 people were killed in renewed assaults in Iraq on Thursday and Friday. :( Whenever a planet nears its stationary point, the qualities of that planet are in exaggerated evidence in the affairs of the world.



    This is a critical reversal period right now, highlighted by the transit of Venus in trine aspect Uranus and square aspect to Saturn this Sunday, September 18. The square to Saturn is particularly important, for any financial markets that are making multi-day lows within one day of this signature usually reverse. We probably saw that in U.S. stocks, which bottomed on Thursday., and perhaps also in foreign currencies which are falling against the Dollar as of last week’s close, especially in the Yen. If the currencies do reverse here, and the Dollar falls, then one would think that might be enough to quickly propel Gold to our 480.00-520.00 target sometime in the next two-three weeks. ?(


    Also this week, we will find both Mercury and the Sun entering Libra on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Usually this is bullish for equity markets around the world for at least a couple of weeks. But it may coincide with cross-currents this time in geopolitical affairs, for Libra is also the sign of peace and agreements. Yet that dynamic seems in conflict with the stationary Mars period, which is anything but peace and agreements. And, as noted above, several equity indices actually rallied strongly into the close of last week, some to new multi-week and even multi-year highs. So if this is a reversal period, one would expect they could now reverse downwards. We will address this issue in more detail to our weekly subscribers.

  • Hamilton on HUI


    The HUI unhedged gold-stock index has been rather impressive so far this month, up 10% as of Wednesday’s close. And this move is just the latest component of a nicely developing 36% upleg that was born back in May.


    With gold stocks surging again, they are attracting a lot more attention as we move into the busy autumn trading season. Just a few months ago gold stocks languished well under the radars of even most contrarian investors. Today they are moving into the spotlight as even CNBC has been reluctantly highlighting their strength this week.


    As with any run higher, the HUI’s renewed vigor is generating an interesting mix of psychology. Gold-stock bulls are growing happier by the day. The higher the HUI runs the more enthusiastic they will grow, until their euphoria eventually gets out of hand and spawns an interim HUI top and subsequent correction.


    Gold-stock bears, on the other hand, are busy thinking of reasons why this latest HUI upleg probably won’t be sustainable. Potential reasons advanced include deflation, central-bank selling, a persistent Wall Street bias against recommending gold stocks, and a general-market selloff hammering gold stocks. The higher the HUI runs the more pessimistic the bears will grow, building the proverbial wall of worry that all major uplegs must climb.

    Auch Schlüsselsätze von Hamilton:
    ***************************************
    All technical indicators, including the ones discussed here today, concentrate on price patterns. While not identical over time, price movements are driven by human investor psychology which is quite predictable. As long as prices don’t indicate short-term euphoria, then odds are we are some ways away yet from witnessing the next major interim top in the HUI. Without rampant greed it simply cannot be seriously overbought.

    The goldbug precious metal miner stock index is poised for a very hefty move up. It is early, but the chart in 2005 months appears to exhibit a similarly bullish "Cup & Handle" pattern. A base at 170, a top at 220, and a target of 270 are in store. Note that the gold price (over 450) is near multi-year highs, but the HUI index is nowhere yet near its 240-250 highs registered in late 2003 and late 2004. Just as energy stocks caught up to the higher energy physical prices, the mining stocks are certain to catch up to the higher gold price.

    Die Grafik im vorherigen Beitrag ist ein paar Tage alt,
    ändert aber an der Cup & Handle-Formation nichts,
    im Gegenteil: der Durchbruch bestätigt diese IMO.
