Holders of paper currency, printed to sustain numerous, ominous bubbles of debt, have an appetite for exchanging it for &#8220;hard&#8221; currency. And this hunger is only likely to continue. The near-term story is that we are in the midst of a seasonally strong period for gold where it&#8217;s very likely the yellow metal makes a run ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Dr. Mark Skousen, Investment U Contributing Editor Wednesday, September 21, 2011: Issue #1605 Are you frustrated by the failure of gold mining stocks to keep up with gold? I am. While gold and silver are up 30 percent this year, the mining stocks continue to lag. Barrick Gold (NYSE: ABX) and Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), the two largest gold producers in North America, are break-even for the year. Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL), the country’s largest silver producer, is down 35 percent even though earnings have doubled. The major South African gold stocks, like Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI) and AngloGold (NYSE: AU), are down for the year. The Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) has been extremely volatile and is break-even for the year. There are exceptions, but the overall trend ]]></description>

While the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1,880 points between July 21 and the morning of August 11, the price of gold shot up 10.5 percent. And that included a launch upward of six percent to start this week. But gold mining stocks haven’t benefited from the price of gold. Except for around a five-percent pop on Wednesday, most gold mining stocks were pummeled alongside the broader market. The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) tumbled over six percent from August 3 to August 8 as the price of gold was picking up speed. Earlier in the year, we ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Goldcorp Corp. (GG) announced expansion plans for the Cerro Negro epithermal gold deposit, acquired from Andean Resources in December 2010. The project is located in the southern Argentinean province of Santa Cruz at an elevation of approximately 600 meters above sea level. In this regard, Goldcorp expects the average annual gold production during the first 5 years to be approximately 550,000 ounces at average cash costs of less than $200 per ounce of gold, resulting in the doubling of the plant throughput to 4,000 tonnes per day. Based on the existing reserves, the total mine life is estimated to be 12 years and the annual production is expected to average 340,000 ounces per year at cash costs of approximately $290 per ounce.

		<description><![CDATA[Costs are becoming a growing concern for gold miners across the world. In this regard, Goldcorp Inc. (GG) has decided to set aside its acquisition strategies for the time being and concentrate only on developing its large pipeline of projects in America. In the previous year itself, Goldcorp had pursued about half-dozen deals. In September 2010, Goldcorp agreed to buy gold miner Andean Resources Ltd for C$3.6 billion ($3.2 billion), trumping a rival bid from Eldorado Gold Corporation. Before this, in January, 2010, Goldcorp signed agreement to acquire Xstrata&#8217;s 70% interest in the El Morro copper/gold project in Chile through an agreement with midtier miner New Gold, the company that owns the remaining 30%. Though the acquisitions are no longer a priority for Goldcorp in 2011, it will not shy ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, markets ended marginally lower and shed gains from the previous session. The dismal show of the indices yesterday was primarily due to disappointing economic data. However, successful bond auctions in Europe somewhat soothed investors’ frayed nerves. The Dow was down 0.2% and closed at 11,731.9. The S&#38;P 500 lost 0.2% and ended the day at 1,283.76. The Nasdaq composite edged down 0.1% and closed at 2,735.29. On the New York Stock Exchange, breadth of the market was marginally on the negative side and consolidated volumes stood at 4.4 billion shares. The economic data that caused much of the tension in the markets was from a report issued by the Labor Department. According to the report, the number of jobless claims surged to its highest level since October 2010. ]]></description>

The industry is oligarchic in structure, with a few producers accounting for the lion’s share of the output. The largest segment of the global metals market is iron and steel, followed by aluminum. The iron and steel segment comprises more than half the industry in terms of volume. This industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars.

Earnings which benefited from high metal prices, were also ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents. For the full year 2009, earnings were $588.2 million or $0.80 per share. Goldcorp was able to keep costs down in an inflationary environment. In the fourth quarter, cash costs were just US$289 an ounce. On a GAAP basis, fourth-quarter profit fell to $66.7 million or 9 cents a share, from $958.1 million, or $1.31 a share. The large drop was due to revaluation of future income tax liabilities, brought about by the sharp year-on-year drop in the U.S. dollar. Quarterly revenues jumped ]]></description>

Each Canplats share would be exchanged for 0.074 of a common share of Goldcorp and an interest in a new exploration company. The offer values Canplats at about C$3.60 ($3.46) per share based upon the closing price of Goldcorp shares on Nov. 13. The offer represents a premium of about 41% over the C$2.55 million ($2.45 million) closing price of Canplats shares. The transaction is expected to close in January 2010. The Boards of Directors of both Goldcorp and Canplats have approved the deal. However, a two-thirds majority of Canplats outstanding ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leading gold producer, Goldcorp’s (GG) adjusted net profit in the third quarter of 2009 more than doubled to 19 cents from last year’s 9 cents on higher gold prices and lower cash costs per ounce of gold. Reported earnings were also higher than the Zacks Consensus estimate of 15 cents. However, on a GAAP basis, net earnings dropped 62% to 16 cents from 42 cents in the previous year due to a foreign exchange loss of $28.1 million. Revenues were up 25% to $691.9 million from $552.2 million in the previous year driven by a 12% rise in average realized prices to $968 per ounce from $865 per ounce in the year-ago quarter and a 9% increase in gold sales volumes to 601,500 ounces. Gold production increased by 11% year over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As gold sets new highs, it would only be natural to assume that profit forecasts for gold mining companies would be soaring too. Surprisingly, profit forecasts are not jumping. Though some brokerage analysts have raised their full-year projections in recent weeks, the Zacks Consensus Estimate is not moving higher for most gold miners. Rather, it is essentially unchanged for Barrick Gold (ABX), Eldorado (EGO), Goldcorp (GG) and most of their peers. Where are we seeing increases are for companies that are significantly dependant on other metals, such as copper or silver. For example, the 2009 Zacks Consensus Estimate for Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has risen 67 cents over the past 30 days to $3.79 per share. (This morning, FCX reported third-quarter profits of $2.07 per share, topping forecasts for $1.14 per share). ]]></description>

I’ll lose all my money.” If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard this from investors, I’d be kicking back on a Caribbean beach right now. I actually love getting questions like this. It gives me a chance to bust a few myths and educate the person on why they should add options trading to their investment arsenal.

(GG), recently announced that its Marlin mine in Guatemala has received certification under the International Cyanide Management Code for the use of cyanide for the production of gold. Marlin is Goldcorp&#8217;s third gold mine to receive full certification. The Marigold mine in Nevada was the first gold mine in the world to be fully certified under the Cyanide Code, followed by El Sauzal mine, which was the first gold mine in Mexico to be fully certified. The Cyanide Code is a voluntary industry program for companies involved in the production of gold using cyanide, developed with the support of the United Nations Environment Program. This apart, Goldcorp is consistently acquiring shares in Osisko Mining Corporation, a junior gold mining company in Canada. According to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Karim Rahemtulla, Advisory Panelist Recently, I explained the nuts and bolts of covered call investing &#8211; a bullish strategy that focuses more on returns than it does on risk. In my column, I used the example of Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY), showing you how to reduce your cost when buying stocks &#8211; and thereby increasing your upside potential if the shares move higher. Today, we’re going to kick things up a notch and explain how you can cleverly take the same covered call strategy and add a twist, by using deep-in-the-money covered calls. When you do so, you can achieve more consistent returns over time, while also protecting your capital.
