whose portfolio is a sea of  red.  No need for details, but it would be comical if it weren’t so painful.  Many of the percentages are 90+ down.  They are way too far down to sell; it wouldn’t be worth it.  So I’m holding.  And I’m wondering… what are the chances enough of them will ever come back to make me whole, and, God forbid, see some of those windfall profits many of us envisioned investing in the shares in the first place; in troubled times when nothing else (paper/financial assets) seemed worth investing in?  What would have to happen to make it so?  What about that flood of money into the sector when everyone else realizes the folly of other paper assets?  When some of that easy money that’s been created needs a new home? Do you think it will ever happen?  I still believe the PM sector is the place to be when it all comes down.  What about the shares?  What’s your scenario?

Gold Forum days, and I think also in the early days of Posters Paradise on Goldtent. Kerr had their fingers recently in American Bonanza, and now today is the Kerr/San Gold friendly talks. My San Gold shares are currently down 6.7 % on the day, while Kitco lists Kerr as being up 20 % on the day. I have no idea how this is going to shake out. My current choice is to just hang onto the San Gold shares we do hold. Cheers.

A message from the leader
Greenpeace
Sign the Petition to President Barack Obama
Posted By: Greenpeace (campaign leader)

Last Friday President Obama’s Administration announced that it has approved the use of seismic testing to explore for offshore oil from Delaware to Florida risking the lives of nearly 140,000 marine mammals. Seismic testing uses sonic cannons to find oil and gas deposits.

The blasts are 100,000 times louder than a jet engine.

This seismic testing poses an imminent threat to endangered marine species including the right whale and the blue whale as well as dolphin populations. Much opposition to this proposal has also come from the fishing industry as seismic testing would seriously impact the fish stocks on which recreational and commercial fishermen depend.

The endangered North Atlantic right whale species, of which there are less than 500 remaining, breeds off the coast of Georgia near the proposed blast zone. Ignoring overwhelming public opposition and the potential for another disastrous oil spill on the East Coast, President Obama approved Mid-Atlantic seismic testing anyway. While the oil and gas industry claim this approval will revitalize the region with new jobs, it is directly threatening the tourism and fishing industries.

Doesn’t anyone in the White House remember the Deepwater Horizon disaster?

President Obama must be deaf to totally dismiss the vocal opposition of Americans after hearing from more than 100,000 citizens, receiving resolutions passed by 16 coastal cites opposing seismic testing, hearing from 50 members of Congress, 160 conservation and animal welfare organizations, the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and 100 scientists.

The seismic testing is just the beginning of what could be in store for East Coast marine ecosystems. If exploration does result in oil rigs and drilling, it’s simply a matter of time before there is a devastating oil spill.

Although the situation seems dire, we cannot give up. If we’re silent on this fatal approval, we’re letting President Obama believe we’re okay with it.

RGLD is a good choice ,I use FNV  for the same reason ..buy,buy.buy    no debt., cash cow ,no employees(almost),no energy costs,NO Labor Costs .

The money just rolls iin and is currently used to rinse and repeat  until there are no more deals left than they have FREE CASH FLOWS of BILLIONS ber year  to distribute for DIVIDENDS ,buy backs etc..NO DEBT…RGLD ,FNV,SLW ,SAND  ….. I see no reason why RGLD,FNV,SLW wouldent sell at 500 /share based on cash flow alone….I been telling that story for 5 years now and few were listineng…..Most people thing they are MINING companies ..thay are NOT !

THey are mining FINANCE COmpanies   How would you like to borrow money at $4 per ounce and lend it at $21 per ounce     THATS a good LOAN to MAKE !

AND the $4 borrow cost stays the SAME and the Lend COST goes up with the SIlver price …your pay back is unlimited only by the top price for Silver…

You must think different with these companies ..they are not mining operations …they are LOANS !…at enormus interest RATES  ! that what you all need to wrap your heads arounnd  !     Look and think outside the BOX  !

Have you noticed !

Stock Management like IBM last qtr got 93 % of its earnings from Financial Engineering .Borrowing 4 billion in last qtr alone and used it to buy back stock combining that with Flat revenue and FLAT Profits boosted earnings per Share  93 % of which was due to stock buy back alone !

In  2004 Ibm had 13 Bil of debt ,now its 37 Billion !  THis also artifically  boosts BONUSES given for getting earnings per share up !   Price Earnings is not telling a true story af the Financial condition ..you must look at Capital Ratios  TOTOL  Capital  to TOTOL DEBT , looks like its close to 1.74-1 and falling ..

It used to Be that 2.5 to 1 was considered OK ..Other big Corporations are getting in on the Bonus Party by doing the same thing..

the BALANCE Sheet tells the Story of modern Financial Engineering.  watch those debt ratios climb and be prepared to Get Outta DODGE .

What happins when 37 bil of IBM debt interest cost doubles overnight from 1% to 2%.

BTW that was exactly how Bill Clinton balanced the Country budgets ,Treasury Sec Robert Rubin  refinanced most of us debt from 30 years to less than1 year  to reduce interst costs and falsly made Clinton look like a hero,balancing the budget .Now what happins to BIG Corp Debt AND BIG GOvernment debt comes due in 30 days and RATE go from 1 to 2 % overnight !     Its going to make 2009 look like a Picnic ! Its not only going to be a GUBBERMENT BUST ,BUT BIG CORPORATE BUST at the same time !    If rates go up 1 % its all over…….

 

RGLD for trade

Posted by pgr2.45 @ 13:41 on July 22, 2014  

Am hoping my manipulator friends can still smack gold $100 but while I’m waiting couldn’t resist small purchase of RGLD – 50 shares. Enough that I’ll feel good taking a 10% profit .. if it drops 10% instead, I can add more.

I thought that might interest you. I’ve never heard of the company, Kerr. I guess we’ll find out more.

“But– and this is the important point— when a market is as oversold, underloved, and underfollowed as silver, you should actually be expecting some big moves to the upside. Recoveries from the kind of oversold positions we have seen with the white metal are normally vertical in nature– and yes I know everyone is tired of the bullish case, but that is precisely my point. At the exact same time that everyone thinks the bears can’t be beaten, the market turns decidedly bullish. Put differently, when a trade or an investment thesis feels easy it is wrong, and when it is difficult or hard to believe, you should back up the truck.”

ipso_facto @ 9:36. Thanks for news about San Gold and Kerr.

Posted by Equisetum @ 11:17 on July 22, 2014  

As a long-time San Gold shareholder, I am unsure what this means for the future value of our SGR shares, but the press release makes it sound hopeful. I still like San Gold’s Bissett operations. At present, I know nothing about Kerr’s operations. Cheers. Equiz

In Potentially “Lethal Blow” For Obamacare, US Appeals Court Finds Insurance Subsidies Invalid In Most States

Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/22/2014 10:50 -0400

It may be back to square 1 for Obamacare.

Moments ago, in what NBC classified as a “potentially lethal blow to Obamacare” a federal appeals court has ruled that the federal government may not subsidize health insurance plans bought by people in states that decided not to set up their own marketplaces under Obamacare. The law clearly says that states are to set up the exchanges. But 34 states opted not to, and the federal government took over in those states. The court ruled that federal government may not pay subsidies for insurance plans in those states.

As the Hill reports further, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Affordable Care Act does not permit the IRS to distribute premium subsidies in the federal ObamaCare exchange, meaning those consumers must bear the full cost of their insurance.

But… they said socialism is for the greater good!?
