http://www.marketwatch.com/story/new-gold-...ream-2009-11-23 New gold bugs making gold investments mainstream Gold has long been favored by a fringe of the investment world, but this year some of the world's leading hedge-fund managers have loaded up on the precious metal amid concern government efforts to avoid another Great Depression that could undermine major currencies and fuel rampant inflation. "I have never been a gold bug," Paul Tudor Jones, chairman of hedge-fund giant Tudor Investment Corp., wrote in an Oct. 15 letter to investors. "It is just an asset that, like everything else in life, has its time and place. And now is that time." Tudor has been building positions in gold and other precious metals in recent months and they now represent the firm's largest commodities exposure, he noted. SPECIAL REPORT: THE NEW GOLD BUGS Now or never Gold has long been favored by a fringe of the investment world, but this year some of the world’s leading hedge fund managers have loaded up on the precious metal. Why gold and why now? • Are the new gold bugs getting in at the top? Greenlight Capital, run by David Einhorn, reversed a long-time aversion to gold, while Kyle Bass's Hayman Advisors LP held more than 15% of its portfolio in gold and other precious metals earlier this year. Eton Park Capital, headed by former Goldman Sachs /quotes/comstock/13*!gs/quotes/nls/gs (GS 172.58, +2.57, +1.51%) trader Eric Mindich, has also got in on the act. "I can't remember in 20 years so many respected investors focused on a single strategy," said Bradley Alford of Alpha Capital Management, which invests in hedge funds. "Some of these people are icons of the industry with at least 15-year track records. It's a losing proposition to bet against guys like that. They aren't billionaires because they make bad bets." It's not only hedge funds. Managers of mutual funds and insurance company portfolios are often limited in how much gold they can buy, but these investors have been purchasing the metal for their personal accounts, according to Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research. "A surprising number of level-headed folks, who I have known over the years, are confessing to me that they've become gold bugs," he said. "They're starting to give more respect to what was for a long time considered the lunatic fringe." The original gold bugs have been fans of the metal for decades. They yearn for the past, when the so-called Gold Standard was the central cog of the world's currency system. A similar system known as the Bretton Woods Agreement tied the U.S. dollar, and all currencies pegged to the dollar, to the price of gold. When the system broke down in 1971, there was no longer a limit on the amount of money that could be printed by governments. Gold bugs hung on grimly as prices dropped in the '80s and '90s amid quelled inflation and roaring stock markets. But gold prices began climbing at the start of this decade, when the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to revive the U.S. economy in the wake of the dot-com bust. That helped fuel a housing and credit market boom that came crashing down last year, triggering a global financial crisis and the worst recession since the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve, headed by Ben Bernanke, responded by slashing interest rates to almost zero and spending more than $1 trillion buying long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities and other debts from collapsed housing giants Fannie Mae /quotes/comstock/13*!fnm/quotes/nls/fnm (FNM 1.02, -.00, -0.01%) and Freddie Mac /quotes/comstock/13*!fre/quotes/nls/fre (FRE 1.14, +0.00, +0.01%) . See latest on Fed's efforts. That's stabilized the economy, but some leading hedge fund managers worry about the long-term consequences of this so-called quantitative easing and are using gold to protect themselves. 'Grandpa Ben' "The Fed is making loans collateralized by toxic waste and has now begun a policy called 'quantitative easing' -- a fancy term for 'printing money,'" Greenlight's Einhorn wrote in a January letter to investors. Reuters David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital, Inc. Printing so much new money will cut the value of the U.S. dollar, which could fuel rapid inflation. In such an environment, the solidity of gold could shine. "If the chairman of the Fed is determined to debase the currency, he will succeed," Einhorn added. "Our instinct is that gold will do well either way: deflation will lead to further steps to debase the currency, while inflation speaks for itself." Einhorn initially invested in the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF /quotes/comstock/13*!gdx/quotes/nls/gdx (GDX 51.91, +1.09, +2.15%) , which tracks shares of gold-mining companies. He'd also bought call options on gold, as well as buying the metal directly, according to Greenlight's January investor letter, a copy of which was obtained by MarketWatch. Since Einhorn launched Greenlight in 1996, he's shunned gold and other broad economy-based trades in favor of tracking down under-valued and over-priced stocks. "We never thought we would ever buy gold or gold stocks," Einhorn wrote in January, recounting the lesson he learnt from his grandfather's obsession with the precious metal. "David's grandfather Benjamin was a gold bug," Einhorn recalled. "From the time David was 10, Grandpa Ben took every opportunity to tell David about the problems with fiat currencies and the coming inflation and advised that the only sensible thing to do was to buy gold and gold stocks." Einhorn's grandfather followed his own advice for the last 30 years of his life and lost money. "Being a patient investor is one thing. Being 'wrong' for three decades is quite another," Einhorn noted. 'Grandma Cookie' However, Greenlight Capital lost more than 15% last year -- its first ever annual loss -- as the global financial crisis rocked the hedge fund industry. Einhorn had rightly warned of the demise of Lehman Brothers /quotes/comstock/11i!lehmq (LEHMQ 0.11, -.00, -2.93%) before it happened, but he underestimated the broader impact of such an event. What's driving gold higher?Frank Holmes, CEO of U.S. Global Investors, tells MarketWatch's Laura Mandaro that it's possible for gold to top $2,300 an ounce. "The lesson that I have learned is that it isn't reasonable to be agnostic about the big picture," he said during an Oct. 19 speech at the Value Investing Congress in New York. At the same conference four years earlier, Einhorn advocated his Grandma Cookie's approach of investing in stocks like Nike /quotes/comstock/13*!nke/quotes/nls/nke (NKE 64.44, +0.52, +0.81%) , IBM /quotes/comstock/13*!ibm/quotes/nls/ibm (IBM 128.02, +1.06, +0.84%) , McDonald's /quotes/comstock/13*!mcd/quotes/nls/mcd (MCD 63.99, +0.02, +0.03%) and Walgreens /quotes/comstock/13*!wag/quotes/nls/wag (WAG 39.41, +0.44, +1.13%) , over his Grandpa's holdings of bullion and gold stocks. "I explained how Grandma Cookie had been right for the last 30 years and would probably be right for the next thirty," Einhorn said. "However, the recent crisis has changed my view." Gold should do "fine" until policymakers and politicians show more monetary and fiscal restraint. The metal will likely do "very well" if there's a sovereign debt default or currency crisis, he added. See how Einhorn is betting on a possible currency death spiral. Einhorn said last month that he moved all his positions into physical gold because it's a cheaper, more-certain and more-liquid way of investing in the metal. Read about options for worried gold investors. Physical delivery Hayman Advisors, a Dallas, Tex.-based hedge fund firm run by Kyle Bass, became another proponent of holding physical gold this year. Most precious-metal investing has historically been done via paper futures contracts on COMEX, part of the New York Mercantile Exchange, owned by CME Group /quotes/comstock/15*!cme/quotes/nls/cme (CME 325.82, +2.83, +0.88%) . However, Hayman expects more demand for physical delivery of precious metals. That could cause problems because there are only enough inventories in COMEX warehouses to supply 15% to 30% of open interest on futures and options contracts, the firm explained in a presentation to investors earlier this year. "It is prudent to focus efforts on obtaining physical delivery of metals backing paper contracts 'while supplies last,'" Hayman wrote in its presentation, a copy of which was obtained by MarketWatch. Faster Monopoly Bass, Einhorn and others are holding gold because they're concerned that a damaging bout of inflation will be triggered by the efforts of several central banks to stabilize economies by pumping lots of new money into the global financial system. Reuters Hedge fund director John Alfred Paulson, president of Paulson & Co Inc. Excluding Japan, the world's major currencies have experienced money supply growth of 15% to 55% in the past three years, Bass estimated in an Oct. 2 letter to investors. The Hayman managing partner compared the efforts to a game of Monopoly in which the banker decides money is too tight, the "velocity" of the game is slowing down, or a few players are about to go broke.

UUUHHHH i thought they were selling http://in.reuters.com/article/fundsNews/id...E5AM1A020091123 Russia c.bank buys 0.5 mln oz gold in October Mon Nov 23, 2009 6:29pm IST MOSCOW, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Russia's central bank gold stocks rose by 0.5 million ounces (15.6 tonnes) or by 2.6 percent in October to 19.5 billion ounces (606.5 tonnes), data on the bank's web site www.cbr.ru showed. Russia's central bank has said it aims to increase gold's share in its reserves this year [iD:nLG124285] to keep its investments diverse. The metal is also seen as a safe-haven at times of financial market turbulence and economic crisis -- a status which has helped send the price of gold XAU= to record highs this year. The web site said the total value of gold in the bank's stocks rose to $20.4 billion at Nov. 1 from $18.8 billion a month earlier. Gold made up 4.7 percent of Russia's total gold and foreign exchange reserves -- the world's third largest -- which stood at $434.43 billion at the start of November.A source in the Russian state precious and metals repository Gokhran said the gold did not come from its stocks. The central bank was not immediately available for comment. Russia's Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin said last week Gokhran, subordinated to the ministry, will sell 30 tonnes of gold to the central bank this year. The central bank had been steadily building its gold stocks this year from 16.7 million ounces on Jan. 1, 2009. The largest monthly increase this year -- of 0.6 million ounces -- took place in July, when stocks rose to 18.3 million ounces from 17.6 million. In September Russia's gold stocks were the world's ninth-largest. [iD:nSP482249] The central bank's reserves include gold, foreign currency and Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), an international reserve asset that is essentially a currency of the International Monetary Fund, and some other assets.

http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/23/markets/go...8Latest+News%29 Gold surges to a fresh record The precious metal continues a record run on concerns about the U.S. dollar and economic jitters. Analysts see $1,200 an ounce before year's end. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gold rallied to an all-time high Monday, climbing ever closer to $1,200 an ounce, as the U.S. dollar slid and investors showed nervousness about the economy. December gold was up $20.90 to $1,167.70 an ounce, after having climbed to a record $1,173.50 earlier in the session. The rally came as the dollar weakened against its main trading partners, with the euro climbing 0.8% to $1.4979. A softer greenback makes commodities that are priced in dollars cheaper for investors holding other currencies. "We're seeing significant dollar weakness, and I think that's the main driver today," said Joe Foster, portfolio manager for the Van Eck Global International Investors Gold Fund. The weak dollar has sent gold surging more than 10% this month as investors flocked to a safe-haven investment. Demand for gold and other so-called tangible assets, which tend to store value better than equity-based investments, often rises in times of economic uncertainty. Gold is also being supported by a growing expectation in the market that central banks around the world will move to increase their hoards. India's central bank bought 200 metric tones of gold from the International Monetary Fund earlier this month, and the central bank of Mauritius bought a smaller amount last week. "We believe the activity of central banks and seasonal weakness in the U.S. dollar in the final four weeks of the year will sustain the strong rally in gold prices," analysts at Deutsche Bank wrote in a recent research report. Meanwhile, gold is benefiting from a "break-down of confidence" as investors fret about growing fiscal deficits and the ability of governments around the world to oversee the financial system, Foster said. Given the current momentum in the gold market, and the growing interest from big investment funds, analysts expect prices to continue rising. "We might have a bit of a pull-back, but the long-term trend is higher," Foster said. Gold will probably top $1,200 some time in December and could climb to $1,300 early next year, he added.

MSM Reporting on the record Gold price http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8373769.stm Gold hits new record high on weakening dollar Demand for gold increases in the run-up to Christmas The price of gold has hit a new all-time high, boosted by continued concerns about the weakening dollar. Gold hit a record of $1,167.35 an ounce, up by about $15 from Friday's closing prices. The expectation that US interest rates will remain low has put pressure on the dollar, making gold more attractive as an investment. Growing demand from emerging markets, particularly in Asia, is also helping to drive the price of gold higher. Emerging market governments are looking to diversify their foreign exchange holdings and are buying gold as a result. "Sentiment is very upbeat and gold is looking increasingly attractive," said Stefan Graber at Credit Suisse. Analysts expect the price of gold to continue rising. "It looks like $1,200 will be seen much sooner than expected," said Afshin Nabavi at gold bullion refiner MKS Finance.

How many are from another dimension eh SIR PIXEL8R . From: I thought i would post the article to try and retain some sort of perspective and balance to the argument.

Gold market disconnect: Record prices, but not demand November 20, 2009 | 2:42 pm Gold remains in a powerful bull market as measured by prices in the futures market, where speculators can run rampant. But third-quarter supply and demand data from the World Gold Council show that the surge in the metal’s price to record highs ($1,146.40 an ounce as of Friday) hasn’t been accompanied by record demand for the real thing. The recent peak in demand for physical gold, in fact, was in the third quarter of 2008 -- before the financial-system meltdown accelerated. The World Gold Council’s report on supply and demand in the quarter ended Sept. 30 put total global demand for gold at 800.3 tons, down 34% from the 1,205.6 tons purchased in the same quarter a year earlier. Demand in the recent quarter also was below the 1,029.8 tons bought in the first quarter of this year, though 10% higher than the 724.8 tons of the second quarter. Gold demand was down in the third quarter versus a year earlier in every major category of consumption, including jewelry (the biggest single source of demand), industrial use, official coins and purchases by exchange-traded funds. The drop in physical demand partly reflects simple price-sensitivity: As gold goes up, some buyers back away. Jewelry demand, for example, reached 673.3 tons in the third quarter of 2008, when gold’s price was mostly below $900 an ounce. In the third quarter of this year, with the price mostly above $900 and on its way to $1,009 by the quarter’s end, jewelry demand totaled 473.5 tons. The global recession also has played a role in depressing jewelry demand this year compared with 2008, of course. So how can the price of gold be flying when demand for the metal itself is well below recent peaks? "This has been a speculative fund-driven futures rally," says Jon Nadler, a veteran analyst at Kitco Metals Inc. in Montreal. In other words, traders who play in the futures markets are betting on higher gold prices. But they aren’t interested in owning the actual metal. This kind of disconnect can happen at any time in commodity markets. Remember oil in 2008? Besides, in any market the price is set by the last buyer, whether the trade is for a huge sum or a tiny sum. In the case of gold, it could work out that speculative demand in the futures market will be followed by a big revival in physical demand if more people around the globe decide that they must own the metal as a hedge against paper currencies, inflation, financial calamity or other reasons. Interestingly, the Austrian government mint is betting otherwise, at least in the near term: The mint, the world’s biggest marketer of gold coins, recently said it planned to cut production by 32% in 2010, figuring that an improving global financial system will slash gold demand from investors. The U.S. Mint, however, is siding with the bulls: On Dec. 3 it plans to resume production of American Eagle gold coins in half-ounce, quarter-ounce and tenth-of-an-ounce sizes to supplement its production of one-ounce coins. Production of the smaller coins was suspended in 2008 because the Mint couldn’t get enough blanks from its fabricators, but that supply problem has been solved, said spokesman Michael White. -- Tom Petruno
