Re-竹本疋虫bro絮語on Gold:
"What does this all mean? Well, it only means that, if we were not watchful of the lunacy of the Fed and Donald Tsang, our families and livelihoods are simply getting screwed each day with pleasure...What else do we reasonably expect, except 溫水煮蛙?
田雞過河,各有各 “young”,自己小心 goo goo。"

Porky finds the info below
"Recently, Black Swan thinker Nassim Nicholas Taleb said, “The Fed won’t exist in 25 years. Then, MarketWatch columnist Paul Farrell followed with a more imminent vision:
-Wall Street banks control the Federal Reserve system, it’s their personal piggy bank. They’ve already done so much damage, yet have more control than ever. Warning: That’s a set-up. They will eventually destroy capitalism, democracy, and the dollar’s global reserve-currency status. They will self-destruct before 2035 … maybe as early as 2012 … most likely by 2020.”

Re-Attention Government Bond Buyers: Japan Has Changed the Rules of the Game by Brian Kelly in SeekingAlpha.com
"The game changer was the de facto elimination of the so-called “banknote rule”. This rule prohibited the BoJ from buying more debt than banknotes in circulation, thus preventing the BoJ from monetizing the country’s enormous debt. Once the BoJ announced that the new QE fund would not be subject to the banknote rule, it is effectively allowing debt monetization.

"(Japan's new sovereign wealth fund)The BoJ, and the U.S. Fed, are making the wager that the buyers and holders of their debt must continue to buy or risk multiple asset class collapse. Typical sovereign debt buyers are pension funds, insurance companies and other sovereign nations – all have a vested interest in keeping asset prices high. For example, under the current policy of government support of asset prices, a pension fund must continue to buy sovereign debt if it wants its stock portfolio to remain elevated.

Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Governments are betting that they hold all the cards and debt will continue to be bought…because it must be bought. "

Re-One Fed To Monetize Them All by Tyler Durden (zero-hedge)
" Morgan Stanley's David Greenlaw has confirmed that QE2, launching in less than one month, will mean outright monetization of US debt, --, the Fed would be absorbing virtually all of the net new Treasury issuance as long as they maintained this pace of purchases." --pretty soon the Fed will be the only holder left of Treasuries with a maturity over 10 years: -- The great benefit of monetizing it all, is that the Treasury will be paying all remnant high coupons to the Fed.--

Re-股份爆升 認股權行使潮即現(經濟日報)2010年10月7日
"---不少上市公司大股東已輪流配售舊股套現。同樣地,近日亦不時見到有上市公司的僱員及董事,密密行使認股權。翻查近日港交所 上市公司通告,翌日披露報表出現次數頻密,當中很多都涉及行使購股權,部分董事購股權的行使價,更較現價折讓極大,認真令人羨慕。"

"10-year yields have fallen dramatically since the 2010 high of 3.99 set on April 5th, three weeks before the S&P 500 2010 peak on April 23rd. They had rebounded since the 2.48 close on August 31. But the last few weeks have seen a significant decline. "

Re-炒落後(偉哥投資手札 Oct 7)" 內房是政策重點打壓的板塊,故內房股及受此拖累的內銀股長期跑輸大市是可以理解,但內房股及內銀股近日跑羸大市,是因為市場見到政策有機會改變,還是因為資金已飢不擇食,很難啃得落的豬頭骨也想吞落下?答案很明顯是後者。大市成交日升,今日更突破千億元大關,相信有很多新資金加入市場尋寶,市場氣氛熾熱;加上炒無可炒,連長期大落後的板塊也有資金追捧,令自己更相信大市見頂在即,隨後的調整應該是既快且深。"

Re-"Found: A Model For Pricing Gold "by
Eddy Elfenbein, Crossing Wall Street -
"Whenever the dollar’s real short-term interest rate is below 2%, gold rallies. Whenever the real short rate is above 2%, the price of gold falls.
Gold holds steady at the equilibrium rate of 2%--every one percentage point real rates differ from 2%, gold moves by eight times that amount per year.
So if the real rates are at 1%, gold will move up at an 8% annualized rate. I
f real rates are at 0%, then gold will move up at a 16% rate (that’s been about the story for the past decade).
Conversely, if the real rate jumps to 3%, then gold will drop at an 8% rate.--
In effect, gold acts like a highly leverage short position in U.S. Treasury bills and the breakeven point is 2% (or more precisely, a short on short-term TIPs).

The first point isgold isn’t tied to inflation. It’s tied to low real rates which are often the by-product of inflation. Right now we have rising gold and low inflation. This isn’t a contradiction.

The second point is that when real rates are low, the price of gold can rise very, very rapidly.

The third is that when real rates are high, gold can fall very, very quickly.

Fourth, there’s no reason for there to be a relationship between equity prices and gold (like the Dow-to-gold ratio).

Fifth, the TIPs yield curve indicates that low real rates may last for a few more years.

The final point is that the price of gold is essentially political. If a central banker has the will to raise real rates as Volcker did 30 years ago, then the price of gold can be crushed.
