I note -
Fed officials issued a statement saying that it would "soon be appropriate" to raise the central bank's benchmark overnight interest rate from its near-zero level.
also that "any decisions would depend on a meeting-by-meeting analysis of inflation and other data," according to the minutes of the Jan. 25-26 policy meeting.
Was that referring to "Pre FED massaging " or "Post FED messaging " of the true facts ?
Wonder when exactly, same old song, same old bluffing from the same old bunch of crooks!
...
Gold is up spiking because of Russia/Ukraine but more fundamentally because of inflation now being acknowledged. With the regards to Russia, regardless of whether they invade or not the relations East/West are going to be in the doldrums for many a year. Even short of war there are a whole spectrum of interventions that both East and West can to, short of war, that will cause serious economic damage from gas pipeline energy restrictions to freezing of assets and of course cyber disruptions. With regards to inflation well what did we expect with the amount of money printing over the past few years.
Now turning to Cey I think Hogan is slowly getting their house in order. He is taking the hits early (ish) in his tenure which is what a good turnaround CEO does. I was hoping we would be starting to see daylight this year so was shocked by AISC up over $1400. I think by next year we should really see a difference but my worry is that I could be wrong and it could be another year still.
So in short yes I think the opportunity is there and the market will cotton on an rerate this. But no (if I can be disciplined) I won't buy anymore.
Obviously just my slightly rambling views and would really like to hear what some of the other posters think.
Best wishes,
Prof
Hi Early Bird,
That is the million dollar question. Although with inflation running at current levels a million dollars is not what it use to be!
A few years ago you would not have put any money on Cey being well under a pound with gold just short of $1900. Then again a few years ago you would not have put money on the monumental mess that previous management have left current management to clear up.
I am very tempted to buy some more however:
1. I have rather a lot already
2. What if gold falls back before the market moves Cey back up?
On balance I suspect we should have a good year.
And so after the most ridiculous of rubbish since Saint Princess's ANDREWS forays into innnocent young women, we are now suggested that the Fed (owned by private intsutions) is a magnificent guiding force and there will be nothing but good things for all. The fairies at the end of the garden have never looked so attractive?!!
Russia is continuing its military buildup around Ukraine, Western officials said, even as Moscow announced it had begun drawing down some troops and released footage of tanks and armored personnel carriers departing Crimea. LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING !
On Wednesday, the day some U.S. intelligence officials had said a Russian invasion was likely to occur, Ukrainians rallied across the country in a display of solidarity and defiance in morning ceremonies. A cyberattack rattled the country the previous day, targeting the Ministry of Defense and two of the biggest banks, temporarily disrupting payments and showing zero balances on accounts.
And the band played WALTZING MATILDA

A very hunger travelling worker (swagman) is resting under a shady eucalyptus tree (coolibah) by the banks of a watering-hole (billabong). He has lit a fire and is making himself some tea in a tin can (billy) that he is using as a kettle. While he is waiting for his tea to boil, he is singing a phrase that asks, " who will keep me company—who will be my friend?"
2nd Verse
While there, he notices a sheep (jumbuck) wandering down to the watering-hole for a drink. The swagman is starving, so he catches the sheep, kills it, eats what he can, and stows the rest in his backpack (tucker bag).
3rd Verse
Unfortunately for the swagman, the wealthy landowner (squatter) comes to the water-hole. He is mounted on his expensive horse (thoroughbred) and is accompanied by three policemen (troopers). They catch the swagman red-handed with the remains of the sheep in his backpack and try to arrest him for killing the sheep.
4th Verse
Preferring death over imprisonment for his crime, the swagman jumps into a water-hole and commits suicide. Ever since that day, his ghost still haunts the waterhole and can be heard singing. "Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me".
and on it goes,,
stupidty reigns supreme !
the gnome
ie don’t shoot the messenger, we need them!
Gnome, I think as usual it is a game of brinksmanship, and it required the Americans to scare their allies sufficiently to make a threat of sanctions seem real enough, the media is just reporting this, including the massing of Russian troops on the borders which was very real, even if maybe their brinksmanship, our requests for US/U.K. et cetera citizens to leave; if the US brinksmanship works we should all be relieved, also on the Russian side we have no idea of whether they were just trying to put on pressure, wanting to invade or even will. However their threat is definitely very real as shown in the Crimea. The fourth estate is a pillar of democracy the success of the of the Alt-right in trying to undermine it is shown sadly in posts like yours, even though the press are not perfect and with the reduced money do not challenge government sufficiently. I have found a still well funded paper like teh FT illuminating through this crises. On a closer note I think gold is rising not just because of this, which is to my mind just a catalyst to finally get it to start catching up with inflation.
opportunity here?
Another All-Time Media Faceplant !!?
After the Biden administration and the press wrongly predicted a Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 16th, they kept compounding the error in spectacular fashion..and why not...havent they anything better to do?
“It was a joke, you idiots.”
If cluelessness, can be art? or fart??, American journalists unveiled their Sistine Chapel this week, in a remarkable collection of misreports and hack stenography surrounding a predicted invasion of Ukraine.
The mess began last Friday, February 11th, when National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan gave an address warning American citizens to evacuate Ukraine. “If a Russian attack on Ukraine proceeds, it is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality,” he said. “I will not comment on the details of our intelligence information,” he added, before doing just that: “I do want to be clear: It could begin during the Olympics,” i.e. before the Beijing games end on February 20th.
Sigh. apprehension...
The stupidity and the mess (by design) is horendous.
good night
god bless gold andthe inherent stability in a sea of extreme turbulence, extraordinary contrived stupidity and profound strength...

Who would you believe, when and why, especially when the clowns are in town ...

And the lunatics attacked the cleptocracy and the thieves robbed the robbers. ...
Hard to capture the stupidity which is professed as leadership by the learned? lunatics

Unfortunately Goldgnome, it was ever thus!
The common denominator is us, humans. This is why I have always been against nuclear and all disarmament- it only takes one bad human to rise to power and we'd all be doomed- but that's just my view as a human.
We spend billions killing off any virus that could threaten us- and yet it's just nature trying to cull the biggest threat to the planet, humans...
Our survival instinct is no different to any other organisms and our desire for humans to force their view and will on others has always existed and always will.
Anyway, back to the markets- at least the FED minutes didn't hold any nasty surprises... hopefully Ukraine will abate- there is zero common sense in the action here, but when we will always have leaders that won't feel the impact of what they do, who knows... the most dangerous are those who just want to leave a mark and create history, whatever that is...
Said it before but first thing I look at - much appreciated
Equities in Europe traded lower in the premarket on Thursday following the report the United States does not believe Russia is withdrawing some of its troops from the border with Ukraine. The White House previously said the Eurasian country could still invade its neighbor despite making opposite claims earlier. When it comes to the economy, traders are now waiting for the latest bulletin the European Central Bank (ECB) will publish later in the day.
The DAX traded 0.52% lower at 8:00 am CET. At the same time, the FTSE 100 declined by 0.40%. The CAC 40 dropped by 0.27%.
The euro lost 0.17% at 8:01 am CET to sell for $1.13621, respectively. At the same time, the pound sterling stood flat against the greenback to go for $1.35898.

It has forever been an issue as to whether to have a large standinng army or not. If you do, then how do you justify the massive costs. If you don't, then you will lose the war (of course)?
Wars with guns and bombs are one way of fighting. Then you can have smart bombs, which still kill civilians. And you can be smarter in not letting the media count the dead civilians
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces websites and online services of two state-owned banks were disrupted by likely denial-of-service attacks on Tuesday, government and bank officials said. Then there are other ways of fightng these days
Forex,
Hacks,
embargoes
etc
Security experts say it's too early to attribute the latest hacking incidents to a particular actor. U.S. officials offered support to counterparts in Ukraine, for the investigation and response... as you would expect.
Digital disruptions in the banking sector could be especially damaging if they jump over Ukraine's borders (any border?) to affect financial firms elsewhere. Some U.S. banks have been running through contingency plans to prepare for Russia-linked incidents.
and so the circus goes on, and lets hope its more entertaining than a relaity ...
sad world, so stupid

The more take-over talks are denied, the greater the likelihood....

In an interview on Wednesday, Mark Bristow was asked about the wave of mergers and acquisitions in the industry over the last few months.
“Everyone thought we were going to do something stupid in the last quarter – we didn’t do that,” said Bristow.
“We’re very focused on a disciplined approach to any M&A – we’re not shy on doing deals that create value for our stakeholders, but we are guided very clearly by our investment focus and we are disciplined in that manner.”

Prices of precious metals increased on Wednesday after the United States, NATO, the European Union and Ukraine said that they found no evidence of the Russian military withdrawing from its border with Ukraine. The reports seemed to have turned investors' attention back toward safe-haven assets, such as gold.
Gold advanced 0.84% to go for $1,868.79 per ounce at 1:08 pm ET. Silver rose by 0.75% to $23.57 per ounce a minute later.

The BIS international consultation about banks and climate change.
16th FEB 2022
Dear Members of the BIS Basel Committee,
Its time that the politicians and the big banks admitted their policies and day to day business practices in their relentless pursuance of profit and ever increasing wealth for the privileged minority are responsible for the day to day hardships of the majority and the terrible environmental state of our planet.
The majority of the worlds politicians with the real power and those big banks controlling the monetary supply and stock markets have been in denial for far too long and the can they have been kicking is at the end of the road on the edge of the abyss of no return!
Time for bankers and politicians to stop paying lip service to changes some time in the future, that's too late, if they seriously want to save our planet and make life better and fairer for everyone they need to make the necessary changes now!
Please make my comments public.
Thank you,
Your Sincerely
(My contact details were supplied to the BIS Basel committee)

Be a while before you even got 5% in a bank account :-)
Mr Tibbles it 2 weeks for me to get off Facebook and was very complicated, had to follow instruction ,a long list on the Internet by a journalist many years ago.
Wouldnt touch those sites with a bargepole now.
Don’t think a dividend cut is on the cards.
A 5 cents dividend will be paid in my opinion.
The current dividend is more like 5%, not 12%. If you are in this for divs you will be disappointed this year, far better options elsewhere
I doubt they will be able to keep the same div as last year, so a div cut or complete removal will most likely take this back to 80p.
So just how much information are these sites gathering about users?
