    I'm tracking the shifting sentiment of retail investors searching (hoping?) for their return to equity markets. When they do that will herald a return to the healing of stock markets.

    The retail investing community informed by The Motley Fool is sizable so take this note as an indication 'perhaps' that the return of the precious metals bull market is immanent.

  5. Gold equities and price divergence ending

    We've all been waiting for the end of the market distortion that has resulted in gold bullion value and gold equity values going their separate ways.

    The battle to keep gold in an 'accumulation' range for central bank buying is almost over. While gold will be bouncing as the super-traders in the employ of government work hard to keep it in the desired range. But the equities will be catching up soon as investors sidelined by the fierce short 'para-financial' black-ops traders realize that gold equities are where to be before the run.

    You will see more and more articles like the following one in the coming couple of months (even while the talking heads babble on about the confusion that they see all around them).

    We are watching the formation and coming confirmation that the bottom in gold is in. Inevitably this also means that the world's economy is hitting its head on the ceiling for growth as a result of financial damage.

    It is already clear that we cannot get ourselves out of the mess created by our management of the fiat system and its built-in requirement for the type of monetary imbalance that encourages the growth of apparent wealth (like apparent wind if you are a sailor).

    Because it is clear that austerity will limit the return to economic health political bodies will opt for the solution that will destroy the value of the debt already held. That solution is inflation. Printing money.
    Returning us to the human-shared notion that gold is money. The central banks have been bulking up with gold. China and the US have already planned how the movement will happen in such

  7. LAD.V - New Carolin Gold Corp. - Goldbggr Brief

    This is a rare opportunity, in my opinion, for investors please review—do your own due diligence and speak with a qualified person before making any investment decision.

    I believe this is a very unique opportunity for investors interested in the long term value potential for gold equities in terms of current conditions and forward currency stability concerns. It's present valuation given the recent P.E.A. done on the gold resource contained in the old Carolin Mine tailings impoundment is highly disconnected from the implied fundamental present value.

The money:
 The Company just closed two private placements for a total of approximately $750k

  9. Gold Bubble?

    Schiff told RT that the only thing people have to worry about is the devalue of currencies, which continue to go down in value while gold only goes up. "It's not a bubble because gold is not going up," said Schiff. It's paper currency, according to him, that's just losing value. "Gold is simply letting you know that it's occurring."

    Duh.
    Japan is looking forward and building strength in its bond investors and reducing risk for bond purchasers. USA and Europe should take heed IMO. The comong 'super-crash' will wipe out far to many for recovery to be anything but weak.

    Excerpt from Gold Core:

    ...
    The likelihood of further downgrades of hitherto risk free government debt, including France and even Germany, is bullish for gold. Gold cannot be downgraded or debased by politicians or central banks.

    Indeed, the sort of economic and political mismanagement we see today is what gold thrives on and should lead to further gains in 2012.
