All the old fears are back with the weaker markets starting to follow oil and implode. Looks like gold is about to have its day.

More and more indications show we are heading towards a physical gold shortage. A lot of the big buying central banks have been buying more. Investment firms, the large private investors, pension funds and Hedge funds are diverting more of their reserves towards golds ( not a lot ) but the swing in the market has been gathering pace over the last few months. There isn't a lot of gold available to buy when compared to other commodities. This points to violent upswings, profit taking then violent upswing and so on, a bit like 3 steps forward and one back. Has Shanta got enough Un- hedged gold to take advantage of the situation?

Gold seems to have reacted only to the strong dollar and is unaffected by the dropping oil price. Futures contracts are stable and inline or just above day to day prices. The bashing gold had over the past couple of years has put a lot of projects on hold and the price is rock bottom so the market should be heading for a shortage. I don't know whether Personal buying of gold will rise or fall, I'm looking at what the central banks intend to do, will they start buying or selling gold or just keep it as it is. The oil producing cash strapped nations could do with the money but if they sell their gold at rock bottom prices they are telling the market its a fire sale and their economy is collapsing so I cant see them doing that. It all points to an upward trend for gold.

Gold seems to have reacted

If oil drops dramatically and the markets start to get unsettled in a state of Bi Pola, we could see a rush to buy something stable like gold.

I think i need to buy in first thing monday morning.

Gold price has turned back up again to carry on the accent

Are they mental! This product is £6 , we're putting it up to £8, so we're ripping you off a lot less than our competitors. It just drives people away.

Dear M&S Please take notice,, It's too difficult to buy things on line. Remove barriers and people will buy. If you don't know how to alter you online shopping you need to employ the people who do it for your successful peers or my wife.

There's plenty of time, spikes are always dangerous.

I think this might walk down to mid twenties with no news. I've sold out to buy back in later.

Its tempting to sell when the share price is about to go down and you'll still get the dividend.

I'll be happy here with 30p plus. I think UJO will rise for the rest of the week if you've had chance to look, its following EDR.

It should hover up and down all year gradually rising with higher and higher highs, its a low risk, invest and leave share for me. Not like the day to day fun we're having with EDR and UJO but they are higher risk and need constant watching.

I like the acquisitions, the additional customers and the increased resources to drive sales, and I like the ongoing and future growth for 2014. I'm happy to leave my investment here and watch it grow, this looks to be a great company.

Trading is expected to show significant growth over the same period last year. Revenues have increased significantly. A strong cash position provides the platform to make further complementary acquisitions. The Company is in-line with market expectations for the full year to 30 April 2014. On top of that they will announce details of their maiden dividend. A great growth company

Every other retailer has sensibly sorted out this issue but Mark's are on the back foot again. M and S is now in dinosaur territory along with how they treat their staff generally

Will they handle and serve bacon? Or does the same principal apply with alcohol.

This should be a great buy and hold with results to come on Jan 14th

I assume its because of dilution and Blackrock haven't sold any.
