On the question of which Banks -

certain names pop up time and time again, and how many times have they been bailed out on the QT ?

Little wonder the US prints $trillions to pour into the black holes .



" Moody's Investors Service put the debt ratings of the six largest U.S. banks on review, reflecting uncertainty regarding U.S. policies for supporting distressed banks.

Moody's placed on review for downgrade the senior debt ratings of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Morgan Stanley (MS) and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC). The senior debt ratings of Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and Citigroup Inc. (C) were placed on review, with direction uncertain, as the ratings agency takes into account improvements in the standalone credit strength of their main subsidiaries.

Moody's said in March it would re-assess its assumptions for the support banks can expect to receive from the U.S. government.

Its review will consider the possibility of a lower level of systemic support in the event that a bank becomes financially distressed, as well as the potential for a more orderly workout and required minimum level of company debt that could limit losses.

Regulators are working with large U.S. banks on developing liquidation plans in the event of another crisis as the Federal Reserve pressures large U.S. banks to go beyond minimal requirements when setting capital plans. "

Anyone wondering just how corrupt the Markets are and how even favours or friends in Newspapers can be utlised,needs to look no further than some of those
that bought the stock at .30 in the 300Million share placing that would be
quite happy to clear out at anything above that.

Of course you cannot sue the Daily Mail,for printing Rumour,Heresay,and anything
else any article and its Author hide behind.

For my sins I hold my Fun Money stake for the ride,and to see if indeed their project has the possible value,yet I wouldnt put any more into it until it is somewhat clearer than the mud thrown around,

Having outlined all the negatives and the dreadful History so far,,this single project
could indeed obviously represent a huge potential return,and thus could have
new investors buying the story in time,most especially when it appears there
are simply no more skeletons in the cupboard.

Meanwhile Mr Lenigas has to regain trust with this one.

So far this has been a case of breathtaking waste of investors Money,as they
have thrown Money down the drain faster than Gordon Brown.

They incredulously left themselves in a cash position whereby they diluted any early Pi`s out of sight,and I`ve rarely seen such a devastating shareplacing
of 100Million shares to raise a pathetic £300k.

Fortunately I bought in at the fund raising level on nothing more sensible than
a stake at glory or bust-and their latest deal means I`ll stick for the long term ride,as the "potential" upside is huge.

It has also fascinated me that someone or several have shown appetite for large volumes being mopped up on a couple of occasions,and its remaining asset just could be that huge Multi-Bagger Glory.

When VGM`s share price goes beyond 6p the remaining 85 Million shares they
will hold in VGM would then support the current Market Cap.

I obviously havent invested my House on it,so wouldnt shed any real tears if it all goes pear shaped-this stock may just truly surprise,hopefully in a completely reverse way to its surprises so far.

Bury bad news on a Friday methinks, in an after hours RNS, and hope investors forget about it over the weekend. Agree bl re Georgia, I thought it had quietened down with the Ruskies and normality was returning, a huge sum to write off !
Posted at 11/9/2008 21:01 by 6iain
Yup.........And With absolutely NO RNS's to instil any confidence in his company's share price ........"NICE ONE DAVID"...And in "TRUE RVD/VGM/TMP STYLE" Too!!! I thought a PLC company was meant to thrive on investors, their confidence and investment to drive the company forwards.Do they realise that there are PLENTY of other company's besides TMP/VGM that people might want to put their money into INSTEAD.........Obviously they dont!!!!!!!

A huge amount of nervousness out there with, I believe a large no of investors sitting on cash waiting for opportunities. I expect that TMP is one of thos & that buying will only increase on good news. I don't believe that rumour only does it for the market presently. I believe this is a good share & certainly it has been resilient whilst many others have fallen signifiv=cantly. So I suppose if u look at the share comparativelyone could say the share price has actually risen!!???

Gold Is Nicely Poised, Says Graham Birch of Black Rock

By John Beverley

Prospects for both the gold price and gold miners remain strong in 2008, according to Dr Graham Birch, manager of open-ended fund BlackRock Gold & General and investment trust Merrill Lynch World Mining. Dr Birch believes: "The gold market's pretty nicely poised at the moment." Although the gold price has recently broken the US$1,000 per Troy ounce barrier, surpassing the previous record of US$850, Dr Birch points out that the 1980 peak is actually worth an eye-watering US$2,279 when adjusted for inflation.
In other words, there is significant upside potential for the gold price. What's more, Dr Birch says gold mining shares are undervalued relative to the gold price, based on the historical trend. Dr Birch comments: "At $1,000 an ounce, we are not at the extreme end of what gold could be and gold equities are quite cheap at the moment because, being equities, they're affected by the weakness of the market as a whole."

The major issue in the gold market is the balance between investment demand and the jewellery market. Dr Birch notes: "People have realised that gold is a rare commodity so investment demand is picking up - that's what's driving the market." Investment demand rose to 20 per cent of total demand in 2007, up from nine per cent in 2001. The advent of gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) has made it easier for investors to allocate funds to the commodity, and, taken together, gold ETFs now own more than 800 tonnes of gold globally, making them the seventh largest holder of gold. In fact there's evidence of a contrary trend. Emerging market countries are seeking to diversify away from the weak US dollar. For instance, Russia has bought 51 tonnes of gold since 2006 and has stated that its target is to increase gold as a proportion of its total foreign reserves to 10 per cent, up from 2.5 per cent now.

On the other hand, Dr Birch warns that "jewellery demand is clearly going to suffer in the short to medium term because of the high price." Jewellery demand accounted for 77 per cent of total demand in 2001 but fell to 68 per cent in 2007. Demand is crucial because the supply side cannot be increased in the short term. Dr Birch comments: "Despite the high price, we've seen no new supply coming into the market, no sign at all."

Global gold production peaked globally in 2001, although it had already peaked in developed countries by the early 1990s. Although spending on exploration has increased, up from US$1bn in 2002 to US$4bn in 2007, it is hard to find new supplies of gold and it takes a while to bring new mines into production. Indeed, Dr Birch points out: "Barrick Gold expect to see a 15 per cent drop in gold production in the next 5 years". Dr Birch explains that: "it used to be about three to four years between making a discovery and production but that's lengthened out to five to seven years." The reasons for this include restrictions imposed by governments, challenges by environmentalists and delays in ordering equipment.

Dr Birch notes: "Capital costs have actually gone up quite a lot. The inflation rate for capital projects is running close to 20 to 25 per cent, and that is slowing down developments." While restricted supply supports the gold price, Dr Birch warns that it means "growth companies in the gold sector are getting rarer and rarer. We've switched money away from the more mature countries into the new frontier countries like Russia, South America and China."

Dr Birch tends to buy and hold companies for the long term, but has been trading recently in the shares of Chinese gold miner Zijin Mining, which has had a Hong Kong listing for some time, but recently listed in Shanghai. He confides: "The Chinese priced it too cheap at its IPO so it went up quite quickly. 18 months or so ago we sold a large percentage of our holding because the profits it had made were too big." However, Dr Birch waited until the Chinese market fell back, then "two weeks ago we started buying it back again and that's worked well so far."

Dooby, if I have misread your previous post, I apologise, but I distinctly remember "cost of production" and there were numerous posters referring to it being erroneous. I'm sure you wouldn't have edited it, so on that basis, again apologies.

You are however, misguided in your assumption of having "no track record" for the management of RVD. Having spoken to RVD and being advised that the management of TMP are deeply involved in the Fiji operation and will remain so, by default, the track record of the TMP management is to be taken into account also. David Lenigas, as you might be aware, has an excellent track record, among others. They are so intertwined that their office contact numbers are the same.

You seem also to ignore that any stock and the general market as a whole is based on forward potential, not the current (today) value. Even currency rates price in FUTURE assumed interest rate changes.

Finally, you (and you are not alone) give little credit to any investors, whether inexperienced or not. You assume and I can only guess because you were the victim of a mindless "ramp" that investors will not check the facts out for themselves or lack the intelligence to make their own judgement. You have an unjustified fear that a positive post will result in hoards of people spending on credit cards to buy a stock. I would never assume such an arrogant stance, and neither should you, that because "one poster writes a view" that this will influence the masses. What you are admitting, and I admire you for it, is that you failed to do the homework yourself when you got "caned". Not everyone is the same. I do not ever say that my view is a guarantee of the future because it isn't and on a piece of bad news or a mass of poor sentiment, this as any stock could be worth sweet nothing. However, I do not have a "fear of optimism" just in case "I might be wrong". I only invest in shares that I am optimistic about and would not through masochistic tendencies remain by choice invested in a stock that I was overly cautious about.

While I understand your reservations, I will not be carried down to a level of "mild depression" because you fear for yourself and others about being upbeat.

For the record, the Mail on Sundays midweek Midas column 16/01/08

"Stalker and Herbert are hoping to do as well for Templar shareholders as
they did for UraMin investors and they are already showing promise.
Templar owns 90 per cent of a gold and base metals project in Georgia and
last year bought 26 per cent of fellow AIM traded company River Diamonds
for £4 million.

River Diamonds is on a roll. It has just taken over a gold mine in Fiji,
the Emperor mine, which has been in production since the 1930s and is
expected to deliver 100,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold a year for the
foreseeable future."

Here ya go Mike

Second stock - Templar Minerals
Epic: TMP (Aim)
Closing price (16/01/2008): 3.75p

Templar Minerals is a tiddler with ambition. The company only joined AIM
last May and is worth little more than £15 million. But it offers
investors a way to invest in gold and this is immensely good news as gold
has already shot up in price and is expected to continue to do so.

Templar is also run by a group of men with an extremely strong
pedigree. Executive chairman is David Lenigas, who has spent 25 years in
the mining industry, and is chairman and chief executive of the veteran
mining group Lonrho Africa. Lenigas is joined by Ian Stalker and Neil
Herbert, who used to run UraMin, a uranium company. Midas recommended
UraMin in November 2006, when its shares were 105p. It was sold seven
months later to a French company for nearly 400p a share.

Stalker and Herbert are hoping to do as well for Templar shareholders as
they did for UraMin investors and they are already showing promise.
Templar owns 90 per cent of a gold and base metals project in Georgia and
last year bought 26 per cent of fellow AIM traded company River Diamonds
for £4 million.

River Diamonds is on a roll. It has just taken over a gold mine in Fiji,
the Emperor mine, which has been in production since the 1930s and is
expected to deliver 100,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold a year for the
foreseeable future. Production at the mine was suspended for a short while
but it is scheduled to resume imminently, well in time to take advantage
of gold's soaring prices.

Midas verdict: Templar appears to have a complex structure but the
underlying message is simple. It offers investors a chance to put money
into gold and it is run by a management team with experience, ambition and
a track record of delivering excellent returns. At 3.75p a share, this is
a jolly good punt for the adventurous at heart.
