  1. Kitco News: 12/31/18

    RERUN: Gold Will Rally 22% In 2019, Outperform Everything

    Guest(s): E.B. Tucker Director, Metalla Royalty & Streaming
     

    2019 will see the start of a new bull cycle for gold and push the metal up to $1,500 an ounce, said E.B. Tucker, director of Metalla Royalty & Streaming. 


    “To make big money in this market, you have to see the cycles. Nothing changes. We’ve had three big cycles in gold since 2000 and we’re about to have another one,” Tucker told Kitco News.


    Tucker said that the next cycle peak could reach $1,900 an ounce, but that won’t happen next year.


    “We’re calling for $1,500 next year, that’s a 22% increase in the price of gold, it’ll be one of the best performing markets in a very, very volatile year for equities,” he said.

        USA has approximately 5 tons of gold . AT $1200 per ounce ,my calculator could not compute what that is worth ,plus i'm not real good at math . Could someone out there compute this ?

     

    Just doing a quick search, as of Sept. 30, 2018:

     

    The USA owns over 261,498,926  (millions) 'ounces' of gold.

    Currently worth over $11,041,059,957.90  (billions) dollars.

     

    Hope this helps.

  3. I will post here tomorrow night if there is any significant info Breitling has to share.

     

    For the most part he gives a summary on where Iraq is economically and politically, gives his thoughts on what we should be looking for in articles.  For example: oil prices, CBI statements, physical note count, etc.

     

    He then has a Q&A for as long as people need.  He doesn't charge a dime for these conferences and doesn't leave until everyone has their questions answered.

  5. Gold Is A Currency, Even the Fed Thinks So - Tocqueville’s Hathaway

    Guest(s): John Hathaway Senior Managing Director, Tocqueville Asset Management
     

    (Originally Aired Sept. 19) - Gold’s role in the monetary system should not be questioned, this according to Tocqueville’s John Hathaway, who says even central bankers view it as a currency.

     

    ‘You see central banks accumulation, they bought more gold in the last couple of years than they bought U.S. treasuries so they think it's money,’ he told Kitco News at the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek, Colorado. ‘They use it as a reserve because it is a reserve asset.’

     

    Hathaway has been a vocal critic of the Federal Reserve, noting that he doesn’t expect much from the U.S. central bank’s latest meeting.

     

    ‘There's all this drama about shrinking the Fed balance sheet. At the end of the day, they're not going to do anything,’ he said. ‘They've put themselves into a corner they can't get out of and if they try, they'll destabilize the equity market.’

  6. Gold Ready For $200 Jump In 2017 – Bank Of America


    CNBC reported that Bank of America is forecasting a significant jump in gold prices by the end of this year.

    “Gold is poised to make a big jump by the end of the year, at least according to Bank of America. The corporate and banking division says it expects the price to rise by around $200. That would put the price of gold at $1400 by December…

    Analysts at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch state that even though the commodity has been under pressure as a run up to the next Federal Reserve bank hike, there were reasons for optimism… Inflation and other uncertainties like elections in Europe tend to prop up the yellow metal. The bottom line: Bank of America says to bank on gold.”

  7. Gold Highly Relevant In Strategic Portfolio - WGC
    The World Gold Council published its Outlook 2017 which identifies six significant trends that will support gold in 2017.

    “In 2016, investors around the world returned in large numbers to the gold market, as a combination of macroeconomic drivers and pent up demand kept interest in gold high. As we start the new year, there are some concerns that US dollar strength may limit gold’s appeal. We believe that, on the contrary, not only will gold remain highly relevant as a strategic portfolio component, but also six major trends will support demand for gold throughout 2017…

    “Using the economic perspective from our guest economists as a backdrop, we believe there are six major trends in the global economy that will support gold demand and influence its performance this year:

    1. Heightened political and geopolitical risks

    2. Currency depreciation

    3. Rising inflation expectations

    4. Inflated stock market valuations

    5. Long-term Asian growth

    6. Opening of new markets…

    “Gold is especially effective as a safe have during times of systemic crisis, when investors tend to withdraw from risk assets. As they pull back, gold’s correlation to stocks becomes progressively more negative and its price tends to increase. Gold historically performs better than other high-quality liquid assets during periods of crisis and that makes it an excellent liquidity provider of last resort…

    “[O]ver the past century, gold has vastly outperformed all major currencies as a means of exchange … This difference between gold and fiat currencies can drive gold investment demand as investors seek to preserve capital from depreciating currencies… But gold’s relative steadfastness can also support central bank demand. To that end, central banks continue to acquire gold as a means of diversifying their foreign reserves and we expect them to continue to do so in 2017…

    “Gold is becoming more mainstream… We expect this trend to continue and expand into Western markets, where pension funds have had to rethink asset allocation strategies following prolonged exposure to low (and even negative) interest rates. In our view, this will result in structurally higher demand….” (Outlook 2017: Global economic trends and their impact on gold,” WGC, 1/17.)

    LaidBack quoted what I had posted yesterday on the auctions having gold prices listed.

    I had never noticed/seen it before on the CBI page, which is why I brought it over.

    Maybe the gold prices are for the gold coins they'll be introducing?  Hopefully.

    But also could be just a general listing to let people know the actual market rate for dinar/gold ratio.

  12. Recession Coming Within 12 Months; Investors Need Gold – Pal


    A former Goldman Sachs banker and founder of the macro investment advisory group Global Macro Investor told MarketWatch the U.S. will be hit by a recession in the next 12 months. As such, investors need to “park their cash” in gold.

    “Mirror, mirror on the wall, which asset is most mispriced of all? According to a Goldman Sachs alum who predicted the financial crisis in 2008, it’s gold. The precious metal should be a lot more expensive when the likelihood of a global financial collapse and a move toward negative interest rates is accounted for, says Global Macro Investor founder Raoul Pal, who now sees a U.S. recession within 12 months…

    “’As we get to negative interest rates, gold is a good place to park your cash,” said Pal, who discussed his outlook with MarketWatch in a September interview and a follow-up conversation over email. ‘I’m not a gold bug,’ the former GLG Global Macro Fund co-manager — who is also watching the dollar closely — “’but this is the currency I would choose now… All the really serious thinkers are interested in gold,’ he said…

    “Pal’s core presumption — one he’s held since 2014 — is bad news for the U. S: He is convinced the country is headed for recession within a year. ‘The business cycle points to that,” he said, “and 100% of all two-term elections have had a recession within 12 months since 1910.’

    “His view contrasts with the Federal Reserve’s own indicator, based on corporate-bond spreads, that predicts just a 12% chance of a pullback in the next year. But Pal does have some prominent company: Savita Subramanian, Bank of America’s head of equity strategy, recently predicted the same; Janus Capital’s Bill Gross spoke of a lagging U.S. recovery in his September investment note; and bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach showed a chart during a recent webcast that revealed the start of a recession.

    Should his prediction come true, Pal says, gold prices could double. If central banks want to get active and combat a slowing economy, he says, they will try to stimulate the economy via printing money or more easing, all of which plays ‘into the hands of gold….’”

    (“A recession is coming — so hide in gold, says influential investor Raoul Pal,” MarketWatch, 10/14/16.)

  13. I'll bug you one more time and re-post my question from last week:

     

    Oil prices are relatively stable, the price of gold is staying above $1300/oz and most likely going up.  Iraq has plenty of both.

    With all that has gone on with Iraq this year: CBI talk, banking, more oil, more gold, security, government, IMF and UN aid, etc...things are actually looking promising.

    I know about your 10 cent stance, and believe me...I'm a believer in 'at least' that for an rv.

    I was just curious if you've heard anything about a possible rate of 13-26 cents, like a few other middle east countries are currently valued at as well.

    Just so Iraq can be 'on par' with some of their neighbors, and take advantage of the resources they possess or have yet to tap into.

    Thanks.
