As of minutes ago, the biggest futures exchange just cut XAF margins by a whopping 33%, exploding vol be damned, or actually, because of it. The CME would be even more delighted if clients were to pledge their gold as collateral, especially following yesterday's expansion of gold's marginability from $200 to $500 million. So just in case anyone missed the message from today, when fins plunged then soared on a rumor, the CME would be delighted if you could repeat all of that but this time with 23% more margin. Expect more margins cuts, this time in ES offset by margins hike in all other instruments, especially of the public enemy #1 variety such as precious metals and crude.<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/soaring-financial-vol-leads-cme-announce-33-margincut<br /><br /><br />doesn't seem to matter that most financials are insolvent at mark to market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-15987418066634986902011-10-04T14:52:14.270-06:002011-10-04T14:52:14.270-06:00Thanks, Dave.

Even fewer have participated. From its 20 year bear<br />market low in August of 1999, bullion has appreciated more than seven fold. That works out to a $US compound return of 18.0% compared to 0.7% for the S&P 500. There is a paltry $2 trillion of investment gold, approximately 1% of global financial assets. It is not main stream. It is not widely held. The rationale for investing is antithetical to mainstream<br />thinking. The opportunity has been missed by almost every conceivable category of investor<br />including pension funds, endowments, mutual funds, and central banks, all of whom could be<br />safely described as underweight the metal, overweight dicey financial assets. Despite the<br />headlines, gold remains under owned.<br /><br />http://kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/KWN_DailyWeb/Entries/2011/9/15_Special_John_Hathaway_Report_-_Gold,_Opportunity_of_a_Lifetime.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-70429588103965201652011-10-04T08:11:41.600-06:002011-10-04T08:11:41.600-06:00Which is a better investment?

The law says you have a right to trust a balance sheet. That it should reflect, in all material respects, the firm's prospects. The firm is also under an obligation (under Reg FD) to timely disclose material adverse events - like, for instance, the fact that it has no good collateral for its daily market operations.<br /><br />If this pattern holds and again nobody is held to account - nobody is indicted, nobody goes to jail, "primary dealers" continue to have the ability to operate in the United States despite playing these games and American firms are not forced to tell the truth or suffer severe criminal legal consequences this is not a time to buy, it's a time to leave. A time to withdraw your consent to be governed through any and all lawful means. Nobody has been held to account for the events of 2008, and nobody is being held to account now.

It's not real gold because you can't exchange your shares for physical like with PHYS - for sure - and GLD - supposedly. Even with those, you have to own more shares than most individuals are capable of owning. <br /><br />CEF used to let you into their vault to see what they got. They don't anymore. I personally don't trust CEF because of that. That's one of the reasons CEF no longer trades at much of a premium to NAV the way it used to. <br /><br />Having said that, no matter what ETF you own, and no matter whether it's real or fake gold, unless you can get the gold out and take take delivery, all you are doing is "indexing" gold and when you sell, you still have dollars. <br /><br />One of these days the real stuff will trade a massive premiums at coin shops etc. Many coin shops won't even have any. So if you think you are going to "index" gold and then buy the real stuff when you're ready, better rethink that thinking, because you'll either be buyin a lot less than you expect or you won't be able to find any to buy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
