Yes Loganair- all sorts happening at the moment. FED next week, fingers crossed we'll hear of more dovish rumours on the build up here, but who knows. SR- on May, I hope she doesn't ban UK footie team, and of course, very happy Man U went put last night.

Trump is saying that he likes a White House that is full of conflict....Turmoil is normal operating procedure.

Reply.....Conflict - Only up to a certain point.

Immediate reaction - Buy Gold/Sell the Dollar.....Buy Stocks/Sell Bonds


No doubt tomorrow the markets will have forgotten about it.


Pomeo - Doesn't like Iran and wants regime change in N. Korea.

Yep Loganiar- it all went wrong when we invented computers... we are in the matrix already and can't get out, so may as well make the best of it- we're doing ok :-). Looks the market is reacting as I thought to the CPI data, gold moving up instantly- it could get more interesting over next few days. Fingers crossed as always.

Just announced - Rex Tillison, the US Secretary of State is stepping down, replaced by Pompeo who is the current Director of the CIA.

steve - All I can say is "god help us."

Loganair- crypto is here to stay and it's use will increase rapidly. Interfaces are being built all over the place, e-commerce companies are not ignoring it.

[stevedaytrader] 13/3/2018 12:34

US CPI data just come out- met expectation didn't exceed so less pressure on FED to do 4 hikes etc good news I think- we will see.

Polymetal, one of Russia’s biggest gold and silver miners, expects to increase output by more than 20% over the next two years in a sign of renewed confidence in the country’s metals and mining industry.From the FT

This ties in nicely with our increased output target, dyor.

Bought a few more, dyor.

RE Russia / Putin, do you really think he would do such a thing within
weeks of an election? He has been accused of upsetting the US election
for Clinton, so guess what, they are trying to do the same for him and
using the silly UK to assist.

Anybody noticed RT has gone off the air in the UK today.

Russia is starting to worry me, the two worse and unpleasant traits of both Russian men and women are firstly on the whole they are cold hearted and lack compassion and secondly from a very young age Russian children are brought up to take what they want and therefore they must have the power all on their side rather then there being a neutral balance of power.

All my life I have used cash when ever I possibly can, then I know I can not over spend, whereas many people I know who have credit cards spend way over the top as when using a credit card it doesn't feel as though one is spending money. Now we have contactless payments making it even quicker and easier to spend money.

Any thing that makes it quicker and easy to spend money I am against because it is the quickest and easiest way to get into debt.

Also when it comes to Crypto's, $1bln was hacked and stolen in 2017 alone, which is an extreme amount considering the small value that crypto's are currently worth. With Russia and N.Korea, plus others, literally in minutes crypto's can easily be wiped out and off the face off the earth - I personally woudln't touch crypto's with a barge pole.

[stevedaytrader] 13/3/2018 09:42

Loganair- crypto is here to stay and will revolutionise payments for sure- how it finally plays out will be interesting, but banks will not be able to rip us all off and take advantage of currency markets in the way they do how. I worked developing payment API's for a number of years, things are shifting. With crypto in this context, I mean as a currency here not making extortionate cash for individuals- although some build the underlying tech so will make for sure. Lol on my moniker, I day trade- my name isn't Steve although I am a "bot", I have held HGM for sometime as part of a wide portfolio, and other non-stock based investments. I am in HGM for the long term but watch daily as I can't shift my habits, and this is the only "Russian" investment I have so need to watch it. I believe it has enormous potential- I only short companies which I think can make me money and I don't worry about them long term- this one is very different- I hope I'm right and time will tell- I believe gold stocks are for the ones to hold at the moment, having held this believe for 12months now, although I've held HGM for longer.

[loganair] 12/3/2018 15:22

steve - I do not think the crypto march will help as slowly, slowly it will become regulated like Fiat money is today.

I've also heard that some of the crypto's have been set up by the banks and slowly these will take over from the non-bank crypto's, then we'll be back to the status quo.

I agree - Russia's fundamentals are improving all the time, even with all the sanctions this year they will export a record amount of food stuffs and a record amount of gas to Europe. They are also doing increasing business with China which in less then 30 years GDP will over take that of the US.


Steve, maybe we look at things from a slightly different perspective as your moniker suggests as a trader you are a short term holder of shares while as an Investor I usually tend to hold shares for 5 years plus.

[stevedaytrader] 12/3/2018 15:12

It's the markets alas Loganair and the banks! They make loads with volatility and control it- the crypto march, will, at some point, help- although they'll find a way of making money when this becomes commonplace. TRUMP, BREXIT, etc etc directly impact monetary policy, and generate uncertainty, causing increased volatility- everyone likes this to make money. It's all about the leaders, what they say, what they do. Hence, HGM, mine in Russia, and Russian- ace fundamentals- great bet.

[loganair] 12/3/2018 14:35

I do not understand why it is such a big deal whether the Fed raises rates 3 or 4 times this year as it only makes a difference of 1/4% in a year when a few years back another Fed Chairman, Volker was raising rates by 1% at a time, then the next month raised again by another 1% a total of 2% in two months.

[loganair] 12/3/2018 11:47

Unlike Steve when it comes to the next recession and what will happen to the worlds stock markets I'm not worried about Korea, Syria or BRITEX, it's just the tightening of monitory policy that will as usual cause the next recession and therefore an up to 50% decline in the stock markets.

However this time round economies and people in general are in huge amount of debt and the central banks will have little fire power left to sort it out this time and therefore the recession will be longer then usual.

Re. EU: It's a political union above all else, imo. That's why Greece was allowed to join in the first place despite being a complete basket case and why they went ahead with the EURO even though they didn't/still don't have all the normal fiscal levers in place to manage such a thing. It's also why they were hell-bent on expanding Eastward even though they knew they were breaking an understanding with post-Soviet Russia that the "Russian realm of influence" countries bordering Russia would not be infringed upon. It was political arrogance of the highest order for the EU to go hard on Ukraine, hugely underestimating Russia's power, resilience and seething anger.

I expect there is plenty of scope for politics to generate massive c0ck-ups on our continent and to go against "economic/diplomatic sense".

Re. HGM: Great to see the rise and being in profit (on paper). As always: VALUE WILL OUT

Thank you, or very good.

I've spend quite some time in both S.Korea and Taiwan.

The top generals in S.Korea say they think there will be unification and probably without a punch up. If there is a punch up, at worse will last at most 2 weeks as once the North has used their ammunition they have no more and many of the North Korean soldiers will quickly lay down their arms.

The Taiwanese are all but certain that China will never invade as will cost too many lives over 1 million Taiwanese and 100,000 Chinese destroying the economy of Taiwan as well as costing a lot of business for China as Taiwan is a big trading partner for China and they have 100's of billions of dollars invested in China.

It seems to me that BRITEX will be just fine for both parties, all we hearing in public is just each side talking to their own constitutes.

If they used their heads instead of fear and their emotions, the best thing for the Republic of Ireland would be to join the UK and leave the EU and Euro as once the UK leaves the EU more then 50% of ROI trade will be with non-EU countries and around 25% of all ROI's work in the UK. Leaving the Euro the ROI could set their own interest rates and if your recall it was the UK that came to the rescue of ROI rather than the rest of the EU.

If Denmark, Sweden, Finland and possibly Estonia also left the EU, we could all join up with Norway, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein making a strong 9 or 10 country mainly Northern EFTA to balance the power of Germany and the EU. Also importantly the EFTA countries will have similar based economies.

Just to round off, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus to leave the Euro into a Mediterranean Euro and very quickly the Med Euro would become 2 Med Euro's to the Euro and could set their own interest rates that would be right for their economies instead of an interest rate that suits Germany. Remember how many hundred's and in the case of Italy 1,000's of their local currencies were to the northern European countries currencies. I use the term Mediterranean Euro instead of Southern Euro as would allow Morocco who's currency is already fixed to the Euro and Tunisia to maybe join the Med Euro.

Fingers crossed guys, 156.9 blimey, good Monday, and with gold down, other golds down a bit, any rationales guys/girls?
Yes Loganair, although on ECB etc, the reason why I shifted a while ago to holding gold stocks and this one is my major holding, is BREXIT, TRUMP, Greece/Italy/Spain- Eurozone in general, North Korea(ok, well ok for now), Syria, South Korea, the list goes on and on. Anything could happen, and as stocks in the USA, and most parts so high, at some point people will sell, park the cash temporarily as the fear of losing could become far greater than the fear of losing out on more gain.... I know I am with my pension funds, although I leave to them to someone else to manage- can't have all eggs in 1 basket!
SR- well done on buying lower down, I added a more at 145, so happy, missed out on the 140, although you can't always buy at the lower points unless very lucky.

I was slagged off by the shorters along the way, dyor.

The ECB are already way be behind the curve. By the time the next recession comes they will still not have positive interest rates, interest rates that are higher than inflation.

As for the BOJ, basically over the past 25 years they haven't moved or when they do it is at a snails pace.

Very good post as always, I for one agree although I am long.

The reason why I'm invested in companies like HGM is because I am very worried when the next recession comes the FED rate will be around 3%, Bank of England no more than 1%, the ECB 1/2% and the BOJ at just 0.1%.

Therefore I ask myself what can these bank do this time to alleviate any recession when usually bank rates are reduced by around 5% and as is plainly obvious this will not be possible this time while these same banks are already full of treasury's and bonds due to all the QE they've been doing over the past few years.

This is why I've been hearing the next recession will be much longer then usual.

As I've mentioned before when the economies blow up this time round luckily this is when HGM new 180,000oz mine is due to come into production, just at the right time.

[srpactive] 10/3/2018 10:25

Excellent close for hgm breaking and closing above 151.8p.

I am hoping we can see a good move higher towards the results,
especially as gold held above $1319, dyor.
