    We all recognize that bond cycles can be 30 to 40 years long, but all things do change.

    How can a debt problem be solved by adding more debt?
    Ultimately can this not have to lead to a monetary collapse?
    We have never had a reserve currency in history create seemingly unlimited money, but how can this not finally lead to inflation?

    I know money velocity is low, but can it be kept low as central bank balances grow?

      Good questions CFS….unfortunately the political and financial elite are flying by the seat of their pants into uncharted waters….. and there is likely a crocodile waiting in the murky waters of their voodoo economics….

    General Petraeus vs. Hillbilly Clinton, it helps to know how to be a great criminal.

      Jul 05, 2016 05:59 PM

      Gen Petraeus is just a boy scout. He still believes in duty, honor, and country. He doesn’t realize how the system is working these days. The press and slimebag lawyers like Hilary are working for the big money, the real power. Petraeus doesn’t have a chance.

    IT IS EASY TO CALCULATE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF GOLD – Avery Goodman

    fair value of gold, on June 23rd, 2016 was a little over $5,035.

    http://averybgoodman.com/myblog/2016/07/05/it-is-easy-to-calculate-the-fair-market-value-of-gold/

    Avery B. Goodman is a licensed attorney concentrating in securities law related cases. He holds a B.A. from Emory University, where he concentrated on history and economics. He also holds a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California at Los Angeles Law School and is a member of the Bar, licensed to practice law in several jurisdictions.

    Mr. Goodman serves on the roster of neutral arbitrators of the National Futures Association (NFA) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). His career has consisted not only of prosecuting cases on behalf of clients, but also in sitting in judgment on the cases involving others, and making important decisions on intra-industry and customer disputes.

    An independent investor for decades, Mr. Goodman has observed that markets are being subjected to frighteningly high levels of disinformation. Investors desperately need to hear logic, reason and common sense. For that reason, he is now sharing thoughts with the community.

      CFS
      Jul 05, 2016 05:22 AM

      But any calculation of ” value” nut based on supply-demand economics, cost of production ,et., is utter crap!

      Jul 05, 2016 05:03 AM

      Since fiat currencies are just money substitutes (claims on wealth but not wealth itself), Goodman’s equation is a great one, in my opinion. However, I base my investment decisions on more than just an asset’s nominal valuation so I would look at other valuation relationships as well.

      Gold is not cheap now in real terms but since it is very cheap relative to the dollar (and USD denominated debt), it will remain my first choice for savings/wealth storage.

    Aurcana has been on the move lately. It is good to see them started to get re-rated and for the marketplace to wake up to the opportunity of their fully permitted and build TX mine, now that their restructuring is complete.

    Aurcana Corporation (AUNFF)
    0.3481 Up 0.0892(34.44%) 12:38PM EDT

    Maybe the marketplace is starting to follow up on these turnaround stories like Aurcana, Jaguar Mining, Alexco, Nicola Mining, Aureus, and Luna Gold. I love getting in these sleeper stocks early when everyone has left them for dead, but forgets about the real value tied up in their assets. When the marketplace finally does evaluate their idled projects, permits in place, and infrastructure on site, then their share prices can jump substantially on that “Ah Ha” moment.

      CFS
      Jul 05, 2016 05:27 AM

      I agree, Excelsior, there are many stocks that have had tens of millions of dollars spent on exploration, that went down as the tide went out, and which will rise disproportionately as the tide comes back in.

        Jul 05, 2016 05:47 AM

        Absolutely, there are many great exploration companies that have been thrown out with the rest of the sector, but what impresses me about the companies listed above is that they actually have infrastructure built, and have fully built mines or mills that are on standby waiting for higher prices. They were sold down way below their peers just because they put projects on hold (rather than continuing to mine ore at a loss). In the interim, these companies have trimmed the fat, optimized recovery rates, and are ready to rock n’ roll when prices come back.

        I expect many will pop substantially when they announce they are going back into production. In Alexco’s case they also have the environmental business, Jaguar has operating mines – but still has the 3rd mining complex on standby, and Nicola Mining just starting tolling ore from other mines, but still has it’s mine on standby. Luna Gold and Aurcana were producing from their mines, but put them on care and maintenance when metal prices dropped…..but now that metals prices are creeping higher…… (as far as the restarts it’s not a question of “If?”; it’s a question of When?)

            Jul 05, 2016 05:23 PM

            Hmmm, Well maybe Aurcana was also playing catchup then from our markets being closed yesterday. Did Aurcana have a really big move yesterday then?

            All I saw was 6 times the trading volume and it closed up over 36%, so that made me a happy camper and I did a little trimming.

            Jul 05, 2016 05:37 PM

            Yeah….that was a big move, and the pullback today on the Canadian makes sense. I guess this move on the OTC took that into account.

            I completely ignored the markets until this morning, because I was floating in the ocean with my lady, drinking high gravity beers, and eating great seafood in Charleston, SC.

            Apparently I’m a day behind you with my excitement, because many of my stocks in the OTC were up very nicely today, (because of the catch up to primary tickers from yesterday). Maybe tomorrow both sets of tickers will be green at the same time….

        Price Support Pivot Point Resistance
        0.1640 0.1317 0.1567 0.1817

        Sandstorm’s royalty partner Luna Gold (OTCPK:LGCUF) has entered into an exploration agreement with large-cap gold miner AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE:AU), a $6+ billion gold miner which is the third-largest gold miner in the world based on production volume, as it produced close to 4 million ounces of gold in 2015.

        AngloGold will explore the greenfields mineral claims (1,702 square kilometers) surrounding Luna Gold’s past-producing Aurizona gold mine in Northern Brazil.

        Under the terms of the agreement, AngloGold has the ability to invest $14 million in exploration expenses over a four year period, including a minimum of $2 million in the first year; if it spends the full $14 million, it will earn a 70% interest in the minerals claims.

          Jul 05, 2016 05:08 AM

          Nice. Thanks for the update on the AngloGold Ashanti JV.

          Yes, I felt good with Sandstorm having their back,and most don’t realize that Sandstorm has already turned a profit on this transaction. Initially Sandstorm took it in the shorts when Luna had challenges at the Aurizona mine, but after restructuring things, they came out just fine. Nolan Watson discussed this in some interview with Kitco at PDAC, and clarified their position and belief in the project in the mid to long-term.

            Jul 05, 2016 05:18 AM

            Marc Leduc, President and CEO, stated, “We are very happy to have one of the largest gold producers in the world, AngloGold Ashanti, join us in this exploration project. This clearly demonstrates the outstanding geological potential of the greenfields claims. In the current difficult market of the gold industry, AngloGold Ashanti has committed a considerable amount of funds to our exploration areas and our prospective ground. We are happy to team up with AngloGold Ashanti who have considerable exploration experience in similar Precambrian geological
            terranes and an outstanding track record as one of the best mine operators in Brazil.”

            He also added, “This exploration agreement will also allow Luna to focus on the redevelopment and restart of the Aurizona Gold Mine while maintaining a significant exploration program in the greenfields areas.”

      I don’t see Ag moving fast.
      Next attempt looks it will stall at about $20.62 and then pullback again.

      We are in a bull market though and it should end the year much higher than now.
      There is a natural pace to everything, no matter what we may wish!

      Jul 05, 2016 05:44 AM

      More than one report I’ve seen suggests silver is the latest “beneficiary” of Chinese speculators/trading houses trying to manufacture some trading profits – just as with depressed iron ore, among others, earlier this year.

        Jul 05, 2016 05:54 AM

        That would not be good Chris for the silver price – didn’t loads of people get badly burnt when the iron and steel bars got pumped and dumped?

        Looks like China was pumping silver overnight though. It would not surprise me to see similar tonight.

          Jul 05, 2016 05:09 PM

          Yes – though like Mish Shedlock and I said this afternoon, at least there is a legitimate bull market in silver on which these speculators are piggy backing; unlike with iron ore or, arguably, copper earlier

            Jul 05, 2016 05:27 PM

            Good point Mr. T. I the iron ore spike was speculation, and the Silver Bull market is tied to the rise of Gold, and both Silver and Copper are in sync with the continued electrification of the world.

      Sprott’s technicians agree that gold is going higher (as do I).

      http://talkdigitalnetwork.com/2016/07/this-week-in-money-53/

      I disagree with Adam Hewisin that gold is very overbought but it still might need some time to let the MAs catch up. Such a pause seems more likely to occur after another move up – perhaps another two percent.

            Jul 05, 2016 05:24 PM

            I went to Folly Beach, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan Island beaches. We also hung out in the downtown on King’s Street a few times. It was very hot, but a lot of fun. A city that is rebuilding and reinventing itself, but keeping the historical pieces that put it on the map in the first place.

            Jul 05, 2016 05:37 PM

            We lived there four years,while my son was going to C of C, thought about retiring there ,but to expensive and l was an unwelcome Yankee.

            Jul 05, 2016 05:43 PM

            I was impressed with the city and had never traveled there before. Most of the restaurants and businesses we went to in the downtown were under 5 years old and they were gutting the old buildings, renovating, and doing new build outs on about 20 other commercial spaces on Kings street. There were about 7 cranes doing construction projects on Friday, so I believe it will emerge in the next 5-7 years with a new identity.

            Yes, Yankees are unwelcome in the South (but I notice they still take my money)….but unwelcome Yankees leave. I’m one of the “Damn Yankees” that stayed, but after living here 20 years people now give me a pass 🙂
