The market is mad some times and once again we have stocks,which I have no
problem with,offering jam tomorrow against Avocets honey today-plus oodles of jam tomorrrow.


SFU £142 Million Mkt Cap

UGY £100 Million Mkt Cap


AVM £97 Million Mkt Cap.


I certainly have no problem with UGY and moreso consider that it is Avocet
that is simply so undervalued,and is where my money stays.

Saucepan, lafiamma brought it to my attention, apparently it is updated every week (so if you want it for reference copy it here), so only a few days old.

[saucepan] 19/1/2005 08:16

Taylor20, excellent, thanks. What was the exact date this was written, please?

[mieke] 19/1/2005 07:46

Nice piece thanks Taylor. we seem to be coalescing around this price now. 3rd quarter results due in 10 days or so, first results from N.Lanut.....

Saucepan,

Thanks, they all help to increase our understanding of the bigger picture in gold IMHO.

[saucepan] 16/1/2005 19:07

In the absence of any other discussion, two interesting, but contrasting views on the future of gold:

(bearish)

(bullish)

Neither is AVM specific.

Hope that is the end of the sell signals for now. I like holding this stock and I look forward to the next scrum when the hedge fund artists back gold!

Record US trade deficit, gold on the up and a certain nameless poster nowhere to be seen on the old thread.

World On Brink Of Ruin

NEW YORK - Alan Greenspan, that Matador of the Money Supply, the esteemed Impresario of Interest Rates, has suffered precious few slings or arrows over his many years as chairman of the Federal Reserve. Even the White House has had to offer its critiques off the record for fear of roiling the markets or upsetting the chairman's Elvis-in-Vegas-like following. So when the chief economist of one of the world's most prestigious banks calls Greenspan a bum, that's a big deal.


And yesterday it happened. Stephen Roach, the chief economist for Morgan Stanley & Co. (nyse: MWD - news - people ), one of the most powerful investment banks and one of the 50 largest companies in the world, says Greenspan has "driven the world to the economic brink."

BERLIN - Several hundred protesters clashed with police at a Berlin unemployment office Monday as a sharp cutback in jobless benefits took effect in a government effort to push people to find work.


Police in riot helmets used pepper spray as they blocked protesters from entering the office in Wedding, a working-class neighborhood with high unemployment, and made several arrests.

Scattered protests in Nuremberg, Munich, Leipzig and Stuttgart drew only a few dozen people each and didn't match the mass marches of tens of thousands in August and September against Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's labor market reforms.

The new law, dubbed Hartz IV after Volkswagen executive Peter Hartz who headed the commission that drew up the reforms, is part of Schroeder's attempt to shake up the country's generous welfare state benefit system and spur more economic growth.

After people use up their basic jobless benefits - whose duration varies - their payments drop to 345 euros ($465) a month in western Germany and 331 euros ($408) in the east, plus rent and heating allowances. Previously, people could receive more than half of their last net salary.

In addition, those getting the reduced aid may be forced to take part in government make-work projects for one euro an hour if they don't get another job.

The idea is to provide an incentive to get off unemployment.

But, with the jobless rate higher than 10 percent, many unemployed fear there won't be work to find, and Schroeder's initiative has drawn critics from within his own Social Democratic party.

Still, Klaus Brandner, spokesman on labor issues for the Social Democrats in parliament, called the launch of the changes "a good day for our country."

He cautioned, however, that more changes could be in store if the new law doesn't work. "If it turns out it isn't efficient, it will be changed as soon as possible," he said on ZDF public television.

Conservative opposition politician Roland Koch warned that only an upturn in economic growth could create more jobs for people to take.

"The chancellor has left the impression that Hartz IV will create jobs," said Koch, the governor of the state of Hesse in the southwest. "The reform, by itself, won't create any new positions."

Thought for the day:

The Total Market Cap of ALL PM companies in the entire world is 'small change' vis-à-vis Just One Dow component: General Electric (GE) has a Total Market Cap of $388 billion...ie just one US company is nearly twice the size of the entire global precious metals industry.

Your first sentence is the reason why some wanted the word 'gold' in the company name, but just how long does it take the market to catch up. Having said that,its recent history of delivering on what it promises, suggests that it won't fall back sharply from its high, which is a huge multiple of two or so years ago.Miners are for trading but maybe for those of a nervous disposition, you can half go to sleep with this one.

I think AVM is just a victim of history. The market takes a while to catch up that's all. As long as the gold bull continues and AVM grows it's production and resources, at some point a valuation that makes more sense when compared to its peers will be applied. Long termers have nothing to fear on that score.
