    Das geht jeden mal so,denk dir nichts und aegern bringt nichts.
    Diversifizieren ist wichtig und regel ist nicht mehr als 10 - 15% auf eine Aktie.
    Bei mir leuchtet der Stern so aehnlich in Prozenten, lass sie liegen wenn du kannst und bei weniger Verlust stosse sie ab oder tausch auf was anderes wie IMR.V.
    Dann hast du einen silbernen Stern der sich verzehnfachen kann in 5-8 Jahren ;)


    Cheers and smile, ist nur Buchverlust ! :rolleyes:

    frr ;) .... great link and news :))


    Habe heute mir mal die Charts und Trendlines zur Abwechslung angeschaut,obwohl eine Frau doch schoener ist.
    Wenn ich mir den Rand anschaue dann habe ich eine Vermutung.


    Der Rand kann langfristig im Schnitt von 27% fallen im Vergleich zu Euro/Dollar/CHF/GBP.


    Er kann ca. 14% zum Euro fallen.
    Ist eh mehr handel mit EU


    42 % zum Dollar
    Wenig handel mit US, gut fuer die Mines.


    27% zum Pound
    Zweitgroesster Handelpartner.



    42 % zum Dollar hoert sich irre an da der Fiat Dollar ja fallen soll. ?(



    Wenn aber der Rand diese Werte erreicht dann muss Gold wiederum bei 530 USD sein. :P



    Die RSA Minen sind bei dem Preis ca.40% unterbewertet und manipuliert worden.
    Soweit sollten sich diese erholen wenn das Land stabil bleibt mit dem ANC und die Gewerkschaften kein Theater machen. :(


    Anyway, it makes me think ?(


    Also the tree month up and three month down cycles with Gold.


    Hey,soon we have a new quarter on 30th May a new moon on 6th June. ;)



    Looks like it's hopping up now,maybe for only two month this time. :)

    Simmers wins DRD bid


    May 24 2005 06:40:41:643PM


    Johannesburg - Simmer & Jack Mines Limited (Simmers) on Tuesday won the bid for DRDGold's former North West assets, Buffelsfontein and Hartebeesfontein mines.
    In a media statement, Simmers said a meeting of labour and creditors voted unanimously on Tuesday afternoon in favour of its plan to create 3 600 jobs and extend the mine's life by another 10 years.


    The vote gave liquidators a mandate to enter into exclusive negotiations with Simmers to acquire the asset and begin operations.


    The company was up against a consortium headed by Golden Pond and Eric Molefe's New Mining Corporation Gold.


    Gordon Miller, CEO of Simmers, said he was delighted the liquidators had chosen a sustainable solution which took into account the needs of the community and the industry as a whole.


    "We are now in a position to enter into negotiations with organised labour with a view to resuming underground operations as soon as possible and end the period of uncertainty which has dogged the communities of the North West," he said.

    Gold Fields Considers Mining Venture With Norilsk, People Say
    May 25 (Bloomberg) -- Gold Fields Ltd.,



    South Africa's second- biggest gold producer, is considering a venture with OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel to increase its overseas assets after a surge in the rand reduced profits, people familiar with the plan said.


    Gold Fields, based in Johannesburg, would transfer its profitable foreign mines in Australia and Ghana to the company, said the people, who declined to be identified. The Russian company, currently Gold Fields' biggest shareholder, would contribute its ZAO Polyus gold-mining arm, the people said.


    The combination would create a gold producer with annual production of about 2.6 million ounces, making it the world's seventh-biggest gold company. Gold Fields, whose $2.9 billion purchase of Canada's Iamgold Corp. collapsed last year, is seeking assets outside South Africa after costs jumped because the rand almost doubled against the dollar since 2001. Norilsk said last month it wants to focus on its main nickel and palladium business.


    ``Gold Fields is looking at the opportunities,'' said Patrice Rassou, manager of the Cape Town-based Old Mutual Gold Fund, in a phone interview. ``You could see an Iamgold No. 2, this time with Norilsk. If they can agree on price, this could fly.'' Rassou holds Gold Fields shares in the $45 billion he helps oversee.


    Gold Fields spokesman Willie Jacobsz in Johannesburg declined to comment. Norilsk's Deputy Chief Executive Denis Morozov said the company is exploring ``different options.'' Norilsk in April said it may spin off its gold business or merge with a rival.


    Norilsk's gold business may be worth as much as $3.5 billion, according to Maxim Matveev, an analyst at Alfa Bank in Moscow. Norilsk is based in Norilsk in Russia's Arctic Circle.


    Gold Fields, whose international assets contribute two thirds to its earnings, had a market value of 33 billion rand ($5 billion) at yesterday's close in Johannesburg.

    May 23 – Gold $416.30 down $1 - Silver $6.94 unchanged


    Universal Gold Bearishness Is Very Bullish/Gold Shares Continue To Forge Higher


    "Only two things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe" ...Albert Einstein


    Markets were jumping all over the place, except gold of course, which seems in a continuous lockdown these days.
    The most significant seller was The World Gold Council’s ETF, as reported to me by two sources. X(


    Here is one:


    "Just in case you're interested, there are multiple 7-figure lots for sale this morning in GLD with June gold at 418."


    Once again gold sold off after the Fixes in London which came in at $417.60 and then $418.00.


    The gold open interest rose 554 contracts to 278,940, while the silver open interest gained 441 contracts to 104,737.


    Silver was firmer than gold right off the bat and stayed that way. The good news here was the silver spreads narrowed again, after widening late last week.


    UBS believes Gold could rally soon:

    Clif Droke: Finally, The Gold Stocks Get Their Chance!
    http://news.goldseek.com/ClifDroke/1116943201.php


    The chart suggests that the XAU gold/silver index will rally in the days ahead with the first nearby test at the 85.00-86.00 pivotal area, and then possibly to the 90.00 level. The MACD indicator is oversold and has traced out a potentially bullish divergence relative to price in this indicator and the 9-day trend line (as shown below) has been tested enough times in the past two months to suggest a breakout attempt to the 85.00-86.00 area and possibly to as high as 90.00 before strong resistance is encountered. The action of the past few days strongly suggests that last week’s low will stand for the immediate-term.

    Bullish factors:


    - Seasonality is positive


    - Important technical support levels are being held


    - Oil prices are easing which reduces mining costs


    - Gold price trend is still positive


    - The Commitment of Traders is currently positive based on historical norms


    - Gold is strengthening against commodities


    - Sentiment is at historic lows


    - Higher US dollar may help foreign mining operations


    - Gold price may be decoupling from the US dollar as the dollar rises



    Bearish factors:


    - Mining costs are still rising


    - Dollar remains in a short-term uptrend putting pressure on gold


    - Commodities are in a near term decline, gold usually moves with commodities


    - Breakdown of nearby support levels could spell additional weakness ahead


    - Gold stocks trends often lead gold price trends, but not always. :D :(


    The prevailing force of bullish factors currently outweigh bearish, which makes this an appropriate time to start accumulating quality gold mining stocks. It is important at this time to concentrate on strength. Many mining stocks that were top performers during the last rally have been real stinkers on the way down. The best bets are those that have held up during this downturn. There are still negative factors that will affect different companies in different ways. Only the strongest companies are positioned to benefit from further gold price rises under current conditions. In other words, avoid junk. If there is a genuine turnaround in the gold mining industry, there will be plenty of time to play the high-risk stocks that usually outperform in the later stages of a bull market.


    Gold itself is at an interesting juncture. Many analysts are predicting that gold will decouple from the US dollar, allowing both to rise simultaneously. This would mean that gold is rising in all currencies and increasing in real purchasing power worldwide. Although history says that a decoupling is unlikely, such a situation would be the highly bullish for mining stocks of all kinds. Some evidence is forming that a decoupling could be taking place, but it is still too early to say definitively. Stay tuned.

    DRD seemingly behind front firm


    May 23 2005 11:49:21:300AM
    By: Jan de Lange

    Johannesburg - DRD Gold, which placed its North West operations under preliminary liquidation in March, is allegedly trying to buy back two mines, Buffelsfontein and Hartbeesfontein, through a front company.
    The offer was prepared less than two months after DRD managed to disentangle itself from severance packages of about R156m by placing the two mines under liquidation.


    Meanwhile, hundreds of former employees of the mine queue up every morning to receive food made available from donations from unions and the public.


    DRD allegedly wants to reopen two of the nine shafts, the number 6 shaft and the number 9 shaft, for underground mining and wants to put two other shafts, the number 9 and 12 shafts, back into operation through a subcontractor, JIC.


    The true reason for DRD's interest is presumably two valuable silt dams at the number 2 and 3 shafts with which it can increase the lifespan of Mine Waste Solutions (MWS), a recovery company in Klerksdorp.


    DRD is in the process of buying MWS. The initial offer was for R95m, but it will probably be less when the deal is announced later this week.


    MWS can stay in operation only for the next 30 months because it cannot find any more gold-carrying mine waste. However, if MWS can obtain the silt dams in North West, the company's lifespan will be increased by at least 10 years.


    This is a plan that DRD started working on with Women in Mining, an empowerment group, six months ago.


    However, the biggest problem was cutting labour costs in North West, but the earthquake early in March and the liquidation on March 22 gave DRD the ideal opportunity to escape these responsibilities.


    Up till now, the liquidators of North West were kept in the dark about DRD's involvement in a consortium that is trying to buy North West back.


    However, it came to light at a secret meeting between Louis Lamsley, head of DRD's South African operations, with eight senior managers from North West last Tuesday.


    Lamsley confirmed over the weekend that the meeting took place.


    "I merely bought my staff breakfast. There was nothing secret about it," he said.


    He also confirmed that DRD was in the process of buying MWS.


    Barend Petersen, one of the liquidators, said last week that the liquidators were unaware that DRD is involved in any of the three offers for North West that they had received.


    The liquidators gave Gwede Mantashe, chief secretary of the NUM, an opportunity last week to look at the three offers for North West. One of the offers is from Simmer & Jack and another from Savuma.


    "It is as clear as daylight that one of the bidders is a front company for DRD.


    "The bidder wants to operate the mine through DRD and appoint JIC as a contractor," Mantashe said.


    A confidentiality clause prevents him from disclosing who the bidder is, but he is angry at the liquidators for not completing the sale of the mine yet.

    Robber dies in Spur shoot-out


    23/05/2005 22:11



    Cape Town - A member of Gordon's Bay police shot a robber dead after three armed men burst into the Sunset Bay Spur on Sunday night and robbed the cashiers, little realising five cops were eating there.
    In what has been described as a heroic deed the lives of many customers were saved by the five officers.


    Reports state that the children in the restaurant's play area were taken to a storeroom. Customers were warned to lie flat on the floor.


    Superintendent Billy Jones, a police spokesperson, said the robbery happened about 21:30.

    SA 'mecca for human traffic'


    23/05/2005 22:13



    Cape Town - Each day, nine people are reported as missing with the police, and many of them become the victims of human trafficking. 8o
    This came to the fore on Monday when the law commission reported that South Africa's involvement in human trafficking was extensive, but at present, no legislation existed to make this a criminal offence.


    Proposed legislation can not be expected before June next year.


    Louisa Stuurman, an investigator with the Law Commission looking into human trafficking, confirmed that the investigation had "already compiled substantial documentation".


    The commission has classified its investigation as a priority because of the seriousness of the problem and evidence that South Africa was serving as a staging point for hordes of women and children.


    Legislation must be airtight


    These either ended up in the sex tradewere used as cheap labour or were moved on to Taiwan and other countries in the Far East.


    Nevertheless, said Stuurman, it was the commission's duty to ensure that proposed legislation was absolutely correct and indisputable so that prosecutions did not fail because of technicalities.


    In a reply to a question in parliament, Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula said 3 591 people had been reported missing in 2004, of whom 867 were children.


    Since 2001, 13 067 people had been reported missing.


    These figures were the highest since 2001 and Gauteng was the province with the highest number of people reported missing at 1 461.


    According to Mike Waters, DA spokesperson for social development, the government ought to institute steps to ensure legislation was in place to prohibit trafficking in humans.


    "Resources and training should also be made available to police to ensure missing people are traced quicker and to nip trafficking in the bud," he said.


    "A quarter of the missing people are children. Lots of them will become the victims of human trafficking that has become a multimillion-rand trade.


    "Children, especially, are used as sex slaves, drug traders, in child pornography and as cheap labour."


    "Gauteng and the Western Cape have the highest number of missing children and are the most-popular "selling points" for human trafficking and abuse.


    About 30% conviction rate


    More than 51% of the missing children disappeared in Gauteng while the Western Cape's figure stood at 28.27%, said Waters.


    Of all court cases involving kidnapping, about 30% led to convictions.


    According to Fatima Chohan-Kota, chairperson of the portfolio committee on justice, no crime has been specified for human trafficking.


    "In the bill on sexual transgressions, provision has been made for certain aspects of human trafficking, but it is not comprehensive.


    "Common law, however, provides for crimes such as kidnapping," said Chohan-Kota.


    In his reply, Ngakula said: "A person arrested for human trafficking will be detained in accordance with common law for crimes such as kidnapping and child stealing."

    NUM wants 20% wage increases


    23/05/2005 21:11



    Johannesburg - The National Union of Mineworkers tabled its latest set of wage demands with the Chamber of Mines' gold and coal members on Friday, said chamber representative Frans Barker on Monday.
    The chamber is representing AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields and Harmony Gold and the South Deep joint venture, which is a 50:50 joint venture between Western Areas and Canadian gold miner Placer Dome.


    In the coal sector, the chamber is representing AngloCoal, BHP Billiton's Ingwe Coal, Eyesizwe, Xstrata, Spring Lake, Kuyasa and Kangra, Barker said.


    The NUM had presented less demands than in the past, he added, which was "encouraging", but the chamber was "less encouraged" by the demand for a 20% wage increase.


    Barker would not be drawn on what the chamber would be offering NUM members.


    The union is also looking for a splitting of retirement benefits and risk benefits, like life assurance, said Barker.


    On the retirement contribution, Barker said the union was looking for employers to increase their contribution to 13.95% to 15% of each employee's salary.


    On the issue of live-out allowances, Barker said the NUM was seeking an increase to R1 500 a month from R700 a month at the chamber's gold mines.


    The union was also seeking the implementation of outstanding issues discussed at previous negotiations.


    These included job grading and health care.


    Trade unions Solidarity and the United Association of South Africa or UASA still have to table their demands, said Barker.


    Depending on how the negotiations go, it could be a one-year or two-year wage agreement, he added.


    NUM spokesperson Moferefere Lekorotsoana wasn't available to comment.
