Morning all. Thanks Croc & TP. Nice to see EZJ & ETL holding their own and creeping up slowly. Let hope it'll continue.
Edit later - I see that EZJ has slipped back a bit now.

Morning all,
Running late, supposed to have left 20 min to drive to where I'm staying tonight before catching a train to London Bridge for the MoneyAm Xmas do!
I'll just have to get there, when I get there - hopefully no problems with the M25 anticlockwise!

Well unless I am regularly watching a truly bad batch of 20 or
so shares it would appear to be a pretty naff morning
- a whole screen of red!!!
Enjoy the lunch those of you going, doesn't look like you will be
missing a whole lot in the meantime.
Smuggle back a turkey leg, a bottle of something good
and a bit of pud' for the rest of us!!
Cheers!!!

Us job figs not good, dollar not great - I take it it's going to be
a quiet to disappointing finish to the week on the markets then.
If you're 'playing' the DOW today - good luck..

Hi all, just logged on again after a bit of Christmas
shopping.
I see the jobs number wasn't as good as expected and my
fears about a bit of profit taking has come true.
Although the data wasn't as good as expected, it wasn't bad.
Unemployment rate has actually dipped to 5.9%.
This should keep the Fed on hold for a bit ref interest rates.
This will give stability to the bond markets and keep the Dollar
depreciating in a controlled manner.
A dip now could give some buying opportunities for a Christmas
rally. Not sure how much of one, we need better data than this
to break indices resistance levels and start a new leg up.
As zarif said, could get interesting.
Melnibone.

Dollar will depreciate because the Fed will keep
interest rates at low levels. With the effect of
inflation, this means a negative return in real terms.
If the Fed raise rates too soon it will stifle spending,
increase debt repayments, and risk deflation rather
than dis-inflation.
Crudely put, you get more bang per buck with investments
in places with higher rates.
Gold and commodities are are an alternative investment
if you are not convinced about an economic revival in the
long term. They are also a finite item. Mother Earth
isn't making any more of the stuff any time soon.

Gold supply/mines are virtually infinite.
Melnibone - 05 Dec 2003 15:27 - 23 of 35
Gold is an alternative investment, not a direct contrarian
play on the Dollar.
Gold is not infinite, there is a finite amount.
It gets more expensive to mine it as the easy supplys
diminish.
As it gets more expensive to mine, it will only get mined
if the return is greater than the cost of mining it.
If the demand is there the price will have to rise to match
the cost. Just normal supply and demand criteria.

As I stated on another site : I felt Gold would fall and rise next week beause
of terrorism/dollar being an unstable currency.I suggest you read all the
Gold threads - not just mine rgds aj

FTSE, DOW and S@p now back to the levels they were at
when the employment numbers were released at 1330 Hrs.
Now we'll see where the markets want to go.

Mining costs are getting cheaper ref gold threads China,etc
The dollar/gold are always linked in times of global uncertainity/war/terrorism
It is virtually infinite - probably for the next 500 years:supply/demand

I agree that gold is turned to in times of uncertainty,
I said so when I said that it would be used as an alternative
investment.
But I still do not believe that the price is always inversely
proportional to the Dollar.
I still say though, that the Dollar will depreciate, this
means if you are correct, and I'm not saying that you are not,
that the price of Gold will rise.
I don't really follow Gold so I would need to see a comparison
chart of the strength of the Dollar ref a basket of currencies
against the price of Gold.
I'm not sure how I got involved in this Gold discussion, but the
points you raise are interesting.
