"Mother, should I trust the government? "
Kenn ich von Pink Floyd, aus "the wall".
Damit war sicher nicht Wall-Street gemeint!
Die heutige Diskussion finde ich interessant. Vieles kann man nur unterschreiben. Wie findet man wirklich fähige Firmen mit Top-Management? Die dann so laufen wie z.B. Blue Pearl Mining. Hab heute mit Tränen in den Augen den Chart angeschaut.
Bin eben ein Softi, darf aber ein bisschen Gold mein Eigen nennen. Ich verstehs nur nicht so ganz.
Das mit China seh ich schon bedenklich. Wer schon mal gesehen hat, wie die Chinesen, mehr als 50 Jahre unter kommunistischer Fuchtel, nun plötzlich die Globalisierung und die Finanzmärkte entdecken, dem wird angst und bange. Völlig sorglos pumpen die ihre letzten Kröten in den Markt. Sonst wäre der Hype doch schon längst zuende. Ich habe es gemerkt, da ich Chinafonds schon mehrmals besessen habe. Da fließt eine Liquidität in den Markt, die fast schon beängstigend ist. Beispiel IPO einer Bank, an einem Tag 100%. Das ist doch wohl ne Euphorie!
Danke für den Hinweis Gutso, gutso.
Habe dort mal gepostet. Ich will gewappnet sein für den Fall der Fälle.
Leider habe ich keine Gold auf der Schreibtischkante. Wäre mir dort auch zu unsicher!

Okay,
ich denke, das Thema wird vielleicht bald sehr aktuell.
Mein Szenario: Die Meldung letzte Woche: Die Chinesen sind völlig in der Euphorie, 280 000 Aktienkonten wurden allein an einem Tag (oder war es pro Woche?) - egal - eröffnet. Der Run ist ganz klar: Jeder Chinese steckt sein letztes Hemd in die Börse. Was es dann bedeutet, wenn er versucht, sein letztes Hemd wieder herauszuzuiehen, dürfte klar sein. Egal wie rentabel Firmen sind, egal wie der Dollar steht, egal, wie hoch das KGV z.B. im DAX ist: Wenn die Chinesen Panik bekommen, werden sie ALLE MÄRKTE runterziehen.
Aus meiner Sicht gilt das auch für alle anderen Werte, selbst für den Goldpreis. Wenn keine phyische Nachfrage mehr da ist, weil weder die Amis, noch die Chinesen oder Inder mehr über überflüssiges Kapital verfügen, wird alles den Bach runtergehen.
Klingt das plausibel oder zu pessimistisch? Ich will ja nur versuchen, vorherzusehen, wie es kommen kann. Dann können wir uns positionieren.
Ich denke, es ist kein Fehler, ein bisschen Liquidität auf der Seite zu haben. Damit man z.B. Minen billig kaufen kann, wenn die im Abwärtssog unter die Räder kommen. Das Problem wäre nur, was dann, wenn die Liquidität quasi zwischen den Händen zerrinnt. Kann ich mit dem Geld dann überhaupt noch kaufen? Steigt dann doch der Goldpreis? Ich vermute, das wäre der Fall, wenn das Finanzsystem kollabieren würde. Das wäre wirklich worst case und dann wäre Gold vermutlich der einzig sichere Hafen. Oder?
Meine Frage: Ist es denn nicht egal, ob man ein Zerftifikat auf Gold oder Silber hat oder ob man es physisch hat?
viele Grüße

Moin,
der FAZ Artikel gibt ja ein sehr gemischtes Bild. Die ETF´s könnten demnach das Zünglein an der Waage sein, wenn ich das richtig interpretiere. Dass die industrielle Nachfrage nachlässt, dachte ich so nicht. So sind die ETF´s wohl eine Art Puffer.
Was mich nachdenklich macht, ist folgendes Szenario: Aus meiner Sicht wird die nächste Rezession von China ausgehen. Der Markt dort ist viel zu heiß gelaufen. Wenn die Kurse nur ein wenig stärker nachgeben und alle investierten Chinesen zum einzigen Ausgang gehen, wird der Markt dort völlig kollabieren. Im Sog sämtliche anderen Märkte und ich fürchte, auch Gold und Silber. Erst werden Gewinne gesichert, dann steht man vor dem Problem, dass die Inder und Chinesen nicht mehr in Kauflaune sind, an Silber lässt das Interesse nach, die ETF´s beschleunigen den Kursrückgang, weil die Händler Positionen abstoßen. So könnte das ein Teufelskreislauf werden.
So ähnlich kam es mir gestern in den Sinn, als ich mir versuchte vorzustellen, wie ein realistisches Worstcase-Szenario aussehen könnte.
Schönen Tag!

Indians Rush To Buy Gold On Auspicious Day
By P. Vijian
CHENNAI (India), April 21 (Bernama) -- There is always an auspicious day to perform any act in India - from a simple decision like buying a vehicle to a more important one like getting married.
But this time of the year it's purchasing gold. For the past two days Indians thronged jewellery shops to buy gold, especially in south India where people bee-lined to buy a piece of the precious metal.
April 19 and 20 are the auspicious days of the "Akshaya Tritiya" festival where it is customary for Indians to buy gold in the belief that it will bring prosperity for the family throughout the year.
The belief appears to have gained a stranglehold on the populace as evidenced by the frenzy for gold in the major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Chennai with goldsmiths enjoyed roaring sales of gold ornaments as people rushed to buy at least a small piece of a gold item.
Jewellery shops in T-Nagar, a popular shopping street here, were opened until late last night to serve desperate customers, who jostled with each other despite the sultry summer night to buy gold coins, anklets, nose rings, lockets and bangles.
World Gold Council of India vice-president K.Shivram told Bernama that this year jewellery outlets saw a tremendous surge in sales -- between 100 and 150 per cent more than usual.
"About 50 to 60 tonnes of gold were sold during this year's Akshaya Tritiya festival compared to 35 tonnes last year. It was a terrific success," he said, adding that much of the sales were in the south where the festival took root.
What started as a regional custom has now turned into national festival where even banks joined in to promote gold coins apart from spilling over to other countries where Indians live.
"It has become a popular festival even in the Gulf, Singapore and in New Jersey (the United States). Indians there also throng jewellery outlets in observing the tradition," added Shivram.

Apex Silver May Expand in Latin America After Sale to Sumitomo
By Claudia Carpenter
April 18 (Bloomberg) -- Apex Silver Mines Ltd., owner of San Cristobal silver and zinc mine in Bolivia, is considering expanding in Latin America to diversify its assets, Chief Executive Officer Jeff Clevenger said.
Shares of Apex Silver tumbled 42 percent in the past year on speculation Bolivia may take control of its mining industry after President Evo Morales said he would ``nationalize'' the country's oil and natural-gas fields. The San Cristobal mine is set to start production in May or June, Clevenger said.
``We think we have a real advantage being in Bolivia, but investors have real concern about the country,'' Clevenger, 57, said today in an interview at a gold conference in Zurich. ``We think it is best if we can diversify.''
Apex has tripled its exploration budget this year to $15 million, looking for metals in Argentina, Peru and Mexico, Clevenger said. The $224 million sale of a 35 percent stake in San Cristobal to Japan's Sumitomo Corp. in September left Apex with $300 million for acquisitions and exploration, he added.
Bolivia's government has talked about nationalizing the mining industry for two years, and nothing has changed, Clevenger said.
``It's a rhetoric thing,'' Clevenger said. ``Evo Morales said he was going to nationalize the oil companies, and he ended up renegotiating contracts with the oil companies. None of them has left.''
San Cristobal has about 470 million ounces of silver, 8 billion pounds of zinc and 3 billion pounds of lead contained in 231 million tons of reserves. Production next year will be about 17 million ounces of silver, 225,000 tons of zinc and 82,000 tons of lead, Clevenger said.

Meine Kauforder wurde jedenfal bedient,
hab ein wenig aufgestockt und verbilligt, wenn man das so sagen darf.
Das Financing war doch klar. Nun wird noch ein wenig gebohrt und dann der Schatz allmählich gehoben. Und solange Silber haussiert, wird MGN auch einfach so mitziehen, ganz ohne Permit. Gestern sahen wir ja mal wieder Tiefstände bei MGN. Kaufen, wenn niemand will ...

Gold fund to trade on Osaka exchange
Osaka Securities Exchange, which operates the second-largest Japanese stock market, may list an exchange-traded gold fund as early as this month as it taps rising interest in commodities from investors looking to diversify their portfolios.
The fund, which is linked to gold prices, was being created by one of the largest investment trusts in Japan, and would have net assets under management of ¥3 billion to ¥5 billion, or $25 million to $42 million, said Kotaro Yamazawa, an executive at the exchange.

Moin,
jau, danke für die News.
Blei hat wieder stark angezogen und sollte das Ergebnis für dieses Jahr dann wesentlich verbessern, selbst wenn Zink noch ne Weile braucht, um wieder zu klettern.
In allernächster Zeit wird der Goldpreis abheben. Ich meine zu fühlen, dass er gerade künstlich unten gehalten wird. Angesichts der aktuellen poltischen und in naher Zukunft vermehrt instabilen wirtschaftlichen Lage, Inflationsgefahr und hohem Ölpreis, ist der Goldanstieg doch nur eine Frage von Tagen, Wochen oder Monaten, Jahren (?). Ganz aktuell denke ich, dass sich der Goldpreis der Ölentwicklung nicht lange wird entziehen können. Heut nachtmittag Ausbruch?
RRO ist darauf hin um 58% gestiegen. Rechnet man die Marktkapitalisierung auf den Sharerpreis um, hat ADA als 51%-Halter 6 ct zugelegt oder 5%.
Noch Zeit, nachzulegen, bevor der Deckel fliegt.
Super News!
Acadian Gold hat sich in der Goldkorrektur super gehalten. Sonst ständen wir deutlich höher. Diese Woche gut für Zukäufe!?
Danke für die Info. Liest man mit gemischten Gefühlen.
Apex hat ja die 15 schnell wieder verlassen, wird wohl noch sehr volatil hin und her gehen nach dem Bericht. Ich sehe die 12 Dollar als Support. Geht´s drunter, wäre es nicht schön.
Ein absoluter Kauf. Die heutige Korrektur am Markt sind prima Einstiegs- und Zukaufkurse. IMHO.
Ja, war wohl ne freud´sche Fehlleistung. Meldung bezog sich auf News vom 29.11.06. 
Moin,
so ein Shit, das war´s dann wohl erst mal mit dem Bounceback von MGN! Bin mal gespannt, was die Redaktion vom OC antworten wird.
