Gold – Reality Check

Gold#20-Hoard

I remain long-term bullish on gold which is the HEDGE against government – not inflation. This nonsense of fiat and all that bullshit sounds good. But that was all true when gold fell for 19 years as well. This is a market. The object here is to SURVIVE what is coming. The market is NEVER wrong! The sooner you realize that to be correct, you have to see the world as a whole – not one tiny slice. The special report is out dealing with the new round of sovereign government gold sales. Remember one thing. You CANNOT judge others or the world by your personal view. Everyone acts out of their own perspective. It is idiotic to argue someone is wrong and try to drown-out anyone who disagrees with your view. That is the quick path to bankruptcy.

I simply object to those who speak bullshit, talk always fundamentals, and then blame everyone else when they are wrong while NEVER saying sell. NOTHING is perpetually a buy. This is about surviving. It is not a vendetta to simply espouse beliefs that are rooted in some bias. Fundamentals FAIL because people try to reduce everything to a single cause and effect. It does not work that way!!!!!! Your view is limited by your perspective. You MUST listen to the views internationally for the real trend is always the sum of all the parts.

摜破1500!邁入黃金大熊市 規避通膨需求減壓垮金價

12 日,NYMEX 交易所黃金六月合約價格大跌逾 4%,一度跌破每盎司 1500 美元大關,最後收跌 63.5 美元報 1501.4 美元,盤中一度來到 1480.2 美元。
 
金融海嘯之後五年,金市吸引大批投資人,股市逐漸從谷底復甦爬升,期間美國聯準會加大量化寬鬆力道帶來通膨疑慮,但金價走勢卻在近年每況愈下。今年道瓊工業平均指數和標準普爾 500 指數都再創歷史新高,投資人樂於在股市追逐風險資產,黃金更失去吸引力。

黃金的熊市,在摜破 1500 美元心理價位的今天,可說是正式來臨了嗎?

《華爾街郵報》報導,熊市的定義簡單來說,就是距離上回高點之後期間跌幅達 20%,上回高點是在 2011 年 8 月每盎司 1888.70 美元,當時歐債危機正熾、國際信評機構標普也下調美國主權信用的評級。就此論點來看,黃金已入熊市。
此外,過去當股市上漲時,黃金通常會下跌,反之亦然,不過這項法則已失準,即使在股指下挫時,期市金價也常連袂下跌。

Covenant Investors 首席投資長 Steve Shafer 表示,美股在過去幾週飆漲,投資人都想要抱股,除了這個因素,美勞工部今公佈的 3 月生產者物價指數(PPI)較上月下跌 0.6%,跌幅大於預期,買金規避通膨需求減,帶動早盤沉重賣壓,成為壓垮金價的最後一根稻草。

再者也有投資人觀察,外傳賽普勒斯政府同意賣出規模 5.2 億美元的黃金儲備籌資紓困,儘管賽國政府否認,但已對金價產生負面影響。

部份交易商視金價跌破 1520 美元長期支撐價位為警訊,如今黃金收跌在 1501 美元,紐約對沖基金 AT Global Capital 經理人 Stephen Klein 因此看空黃金後市。

投資公司創辦人暨財經書籍作家 Jon Najarian 在接受雅虎財經 Breakout 節目訪問時指出,黃金走勢易受情緒波動影響,接下來金價若未能再守住下個支援價位 1470 美元,金價就還會有更多下跌空間,要到 1340 美元才能找到下個支撐。

黃金暴跌:Paulson日虧3億美元不改看多Einhorn亦損失慘重



週五黃金跌破每盎司1500美元大關,讓兩位對沖基金巨頭損失慘重。

這兩位對沖基金經理是John Paulson和David Einhorn。Paulson一日虧損3億美元但長期依然看好Paulson有大約95億美元資金投入到他的對沖基金中,其中85%投資了黃金類資產。


彭博社說,週五黃金暴跌4.1%,給Paulson的黃金投資造成了約3.28億美元的損失。另外,按照去年底Paulson的黃金股票持倉,他週五當天的黃金股票虧損為6200萬美元。


去年底Paulson曾告訴投資者,他7億美元的黃金基金將超過其他策略,因為未來五年黃金將是對沖通脹和貨幣貶值最好的方式。


Paulson的黃金基金今年一季度下跌了28%。自2011年8月以來,黃金下跌已經超過20%。黃金暴跌之際,Paulson & Co.公司的合夥人兼黃金策略師John Reade週五勇敢地接受了彭博社的採訪,其主要觀點:


1、“近期黃金價格下跌沒有改變我們的長期觀點。我們從2009年4月開始投資黃金,那時候黃金價格是900美元,儘管現在從峰值跌到了1500美元,但仍遠高於我們的成本。


2、因為政府往經濟中註入資金,黃金長期將繼續增值。


“聯邦政府以前所未有的速度印錢,我們預期經濟和股票市場走強將造成貨幣供應增長速度超過真實增長,最終造成通脹。就是這種紙貨幣將貶值的預期讓黃金成為吸引人的投資。”實物黃金成Einhorn第三大持倉


黃金下跌也會衝擊David Einhorn的綠光資本。


路透引述一位綠光資本的投資者說,綠光資本一季度已經將黃金變成這只基金的第三大倉位了。目前只有蘋果和通用汽車的倉位超過黃金。在最近一次與投資者溝通時,Einhorn披露了他的五大持倉,其中黃金主要是實物黃金,而不是黃金ETF。


Einhorn投資實物黃金吸引了不少眼球,因為黃金難以儲藏。路透社報導說,他選擇了紐約皇后區的一個安全設施儲存黃金,那裡離他的辦公室很近。

黃金(商品)暴跌新解:黑田效應


近期黃金和大宗商品都出現了顯著的跌幅,黃金更是在周五的大跌中跌破了1520的關鍵支撐位。如何解釋這種跌幅呢,Zerohedge提供了一個新的角度:
 
自從新行長黑田東彥首秀推出超預期的寬鬆措施後,日本國債的波動率大幅上升,堪比希臘國債。
 
 
面對創紀錄的波動率,為了滿足激增的保證金要求,日本金融機構選擇的是出售其他資產加強資本金和流動性而非出售債券。
 
由下圖可見,自QE2以來,黃金(和其他商品)價格走勢與日本國債的內涵波動率逆相關程度很高。

美股收低 黃金暴跌5%進入熊市區域

大宗商品週五重挫:黃金暴跌5%至21個月低點,進入熊市區域;布倫特原油也跌至9個月低點。
相比之下,股市跌幅略顯溫和,標普500跌0.3%,從周四的紀錄高位回落,但本週仍上漲2.3%,是今年以來表現最好的一周。

道指基本持平,納斯達克跌0.2%。本周道指和納斯達克分別上揚2.1%和2.8%。
歐洲斯托克600指數跌0.9%,本週累計上漲1.8%;日經指數下滑0.5%,但本周大漲5.1%。
週五的美國經濟數據令人失望。 3月零售銷售創下9個月最大降幅,4月密歇根大學消費者信心也降至9個月最低。這些數據令人擔憂美國經濟失去動能。
回到大宗商品市場。黃金周五遭到拋售,一日下跌70多美元,自2011年7月以來首次跌破1,500美元關口,從2011年8月高點下挫逾20%,進入熊市區域。

路透社說,黃金遭到大舉拋售,凸顯出了一些市場人士對12年的黃金牛市接近尾聲的預期。
其他貴金屬也遭到拋售,其中白銀跌幅達到6%。
布倫特原油跌至9個月低點,一度逼近每桶101美元,但此後有所反彈,最終跌1.1%。美國原油價格大跌2.4%,至一個月低點。

另外,比特幣再次劇烈波動,一度下挫至1比特幣對54美元,但此後反彈至130美元。不過目前水平仍遠低於週三創下的紀錄高位266美元。

Maguire - There Is Absolutely No Physical Gold For Sale




On the heels of a cascade of selling in gold and silver, today whistleblower Andrew Maguire spoke with King World News about the extraordinary intervention which took place in both of these markets.  Maguire also told KWN about the staggering amount of physical gold tonnage that Eastern central banks were attempting to buy today alone, in a market that, remarkably, is not seeing any supply.  Below is what Maguire had to say in part II of his remarkable and exclusive interview. 

</frame>
Maguire:  “It’s pure short selling in the paper market, and the focus of all of this all is to reach and target as many long-stops as possible which they have done this afternoon.  Then they can obviously cover these paper short sales.

Historically, in order to succeed when the official sellers have come in, they have relied on being able to back up the paper market interventions with real physical supply, albeit, hypothecated or re-hypothecated, borrowed or leased bullion....


“It’s easy to look at the technicals today and see this cascade down, that’s the long stops being tripped.  But what we are seeing now is none of the physical supply is appearing.  None of it is going to back up these sales.  So this is a clear sign of weakness. 

Now the bullion banks are really trading the Fed’s ‘virtual market book,’ but they are constrained.  They are really constrained as to how far they can push these paper prices because the ... Eastern hemisphere central banks, who are competing with each other to buy (physical) bullion, these are the guys that are picking up this discount.  This (smash in gold) results in an exponential ramp-up in their physical buying. 

All they (central planners) are doing is delaying an extremely disorderly rebound (in the price of gold).  Give it a few days because at least 90 tons of central bank buying today was seen below $1,550, into the afternoon fix (in London).  As we cascade down here you can guarantee that what they (Eastern buyers) are doing is ‘spot indexing,’ which is basically locking in the price in the paper market and will allocate that at an upcoming fix (in London). 

So I give it (at the most) two to three days before this has a massive rebound effect, and the short fuel above the market now is at absolutely unprecedented levels.” 

Maguire also added: “The fact that official sellers are even more reliant on massive coordination on mainstream media and verbal interventions to back up these virtual sales, it’s not going unnoticed by Middle-Eastern and Eastern centric central banks and sovereigns.”

買金銀要用閒錢


在月初已 有報道,Cartel今次企圖是把金銀價推
到長期支持位,分別是 金1525,銀26.4..

當金銀價跌穿這些支持位,

就會觸發量大量程式止蝕盤發出沽貨訊號,

今次真係有戲睇....


http://honsonyip.blogspot.hk/2013/04/t-ferguson-washout-becoming.html



昨晚這一幕金銀跳崖式下跌,始終出現,

相信好多金銀甲都心驚驚.

我自己經常提出:

買金銀真係要用閒錢, 要長線,3,5,7年或以上 ,一定要買入實物。

千萬不要借貸,多有多入,少有少買,
咁樣坐貨就無咁大壓力




 



Silver smashed to $25.72 prior to placing a weekly close in the access market at $25.85!

Gold smashed as low as $1475 prior to placing a weekly access market close at $1478!

發覺今次大插水...白銀成交量比對上次是少很多,是否有什麼提示?






荷蘭最大銀行ABN AMRO 發生了黃金實物交割違約事件





荷蘭最大銀行ABN AMRO發生了黃金實物交割違約事件! 

該銀行在向客戶的致歉信中表示,已無法向客戶交割實物黃金,願意以紙幣進行賠償!在正常的市場中,如果金價下跌,意味著黃金供過於求,ABN應該很容易在市場中買到實物黃金並交割給客戶。 


宋鴻兵 

很明顯,他們已買不到實物黃金了,這才不惜公然違約!

最近數月,西方各大銀行聯手打壓黃金白銀,無非是希望嚇阻實物金銀的購買者,延緩違約審判日的到來!但該來的終究會來!荷蘭最大銀行ABN的黃金交割違約不會是孤立事件!黃金市場中每77份合約才對應一份實物,白銀則是100:1

77個瓶子只有一個蓋,這需要多麼瘋狂的精神才敢如此悖逆市場規律啊?
