Gold Ends At One-Month High As Traders Mull Fed Stimulus
Today 3:19 PM ET (Dow Jones)Print
--Comex Feb gold ends up 0.3% at $1,251.10/oz
--Gold rises as investors recalibrate their expectations of Fed stimulus tapering
--Weak dollar, stocks boost interest in havens like gold
By Tatyana Shumsky
NEW YORK--Gold futures ended at a one-month high on Monday, carving out slight gains as investors continued to adjust their outlook on U.S. monetary policy and as weakness in the dollar and U.S. equities bolstered the appeal of haven assets like precious metals.
Gold for February delivery, the most active contract, rose $4.20, or 0.3%, to settle at $1,251.10 a troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. This was the highest settlement level since Dec. 11, when prices closed at $1,257.20 a troy ounce.
Gold had rocketed higher last week, after a surprisingly weak U.S. jobs report fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve may reduce its stimulus program at a slower pace than previously thought. Gold prices had fallen 28% in 2013 amid expectations that the Fed would begin reducing its monthly bond purchases, removing a long-running support from the gold market.
Futures extended these gains on Monday, as the dollar yielded ground to a basket of foreign currencies. The ICE Dollar Index was recently down 0.2% at 80.510. Dollar-denominated gold futures become less expensive for foreign buyers when the greenback eases.
"This is still a response to Friday's data," said Dave Meger, director of metals trading with futures brokerage Vision Financial Markets LLC. in Chicago.
Mr. Meger said that both gold's move higher and the dollar's retreat came as investors continued to mull the impact of the report on the Fed's future policy decisions.
"It prompted the idea that the Fed will not be as aggressive in winding down its stimulus," he said.
Weakness in the U.S. equities also gave gold prices a boost. The Standard & Poor's 500 stocks index was recently down 20 points to 1822 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 152 points to 16283.
Gold is often seen as a haven asset and an alternative to riskier investments like stocks.
"The equity markets are under some pressure and that's adding to the alternative investment draw of precious metals right now," Mr. Meger said.

That's either a bad situation to come, or the sheep got scared for no good reason? Tomorrow action should shed some light on it.

Most mining companies need a long time to develop; ICBT's time has come, IMO.
Mike
That will be nice; it will coincide with the end of December tax sales.
BTW, my relative has now his blood sugar stabilized @ around 150. The infomercial will increase the awareness. Once more people learn about the proven to work BISU's diabetic supplement, through the word of mouse from satisfied customers, the sales should increase fast; and, of course, the P/S jump should follow.
To me, @ today's compressed price, BISU is a must have stock.
OS: 174,768,593 a/o Nov 14, 2013; no need & no history of R/S.
After the tax sales is over, BISU should start moving with or w/o news. The expected news will make it move fast.

Wow, just wow:
BioNeutral's products, YGIENE™ and OGIENE™ kill germs and clean surfaces with a dramatic increase in speed and power over their rivals in the marketplace. BioNeutral's proprietary platform technology has been proven effective in surface, water and airborne applications. Its antimicrobial line of products under the YGIENE™ brand have been approved by the EPA for sale in the United States and has previously been approved for sale in Germany and it is also permitted to be sold in the UK, France and Sweden.
Mike
True; grabbed myself some more, 'down there' 2day.
Mike
Good DD, 'Stervc!' It looks like very few people went through it, or understand the huge short-term potential BONU has. Thanks for it, & keep up the good work!
It won't be long ...
Mike
GLTY,
Mike
LOL! Which "valuations" are you talking about?
Mike
Wait to see what the next 10-K brings. It won't be pretty, IMO.
Mike
After the YoY sharp revenue decline, the QoQ decline shows the JCP's "glorious" future:

(push the Q)
It won't take too long b4 another "reorganization" or (most probably) BK comes along.
All JIMO,

JCP's performance reminds me of K-Mart's b4 the BK some years back:

ALERT: Trading on the OTC Markets Exchange Has Resumed
Mike
FYI: From OTC Markets Group:
Quoting and trading on OTC Link ATS was halted effective 11:15 AM.
Quote close messages and then a ‘market close’ message has been sent out on the market data feed. A ‘market open’ message will be sent out when the market opens.
Mike
Yes, TDA is not showing the B & A OTC blocks for at least 20 minutes now.
Mike
My take on it is that in filling the last due 10-Q, the company can't repeat the same (cut & paste) promises in regards to their ambitious expansion plan. So, they are waiting for the first acquisition to materialize, which will be announced within this filling.
DIGX - a must have stock for a 2014 spectacular rise.
Al IMO.
Mike
Looking for my BONU reward well into pennies.
Mike
In dealing with companies such as DIGX, patience is key. Yes, Darla is not being very communicative, but at least, over the last few months, she has: (i) filled the 2012 10-K, (ii) filled the 1-st & 2-nd Q's 10-Q (all showing positive net revenue), and (iii) taken out the CE. Once the: (i) tax loss sales are over, (ii) 3-rd 10-Q is filled, and (iii) (especially) after some news about expanding the business hit, DIGX will fly high. Looking @ the weekly chart, there's plenty to recover.
Mike
Good job! Let's see:
The address of "Hair Center" is:
223 E Fm 1382 # 117
Cedar Hill, TX 75104 (map)
Phone: (972) 291-7883
and that of "Split Endings Salon" is:
201 BRYAN PLACE
STE. A
CEDAR HILL, TX 75104
Wow! Has DIGX expansion already started?
Mike
Very interesting! Haven't seen it as yet. One thing for certain: with the help from Haydin Insurance, DIGX should easily accomplish its very ambitious growth plan.
