02547GHFDJ12

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the good, old-fashioned copy machine.

As KOLD News 13′s Mark Stine reports, advanced technology has opened a dangerous hole in data security.

02547GHFDJ12

Late last year a company prospecting for gold in the larger Migori district announced that there were enough deposits of gold in the country to support commercial mining.

An old news becomes a gold mine - RTAmerica 100614

02547GHFDJ12

rt.com The US has recently announced the discovery of nearly $1 trillion worth of mineral deposits in Afghanistan, but did the US know about them in 2007? A 2007 United States geological survey indicated that Afghanistan is one of the worlds’ biggest depositories of minerals and precious metals. These include iron, copper, gold, and others. In fact, Afghanistan may be the “Saudi Arabia of lithium,” reported the New York Times. Did the 2007 USGS report effect US President Barack Obama decision to expand the war in Afghanistan, asked Paul Jay, the CEO and editor of The Real News Network. “There’s enough information to have what one could call an informed speculation,” said Jay. The report from 2007 however is solid evidence that there are vast amounts of resources in Afghanistan and that both the US, Afghanistan the world’s major powers were aware. Read more “When President Obama was making his decision, if this had been public, people would have said, is this another grab for oil as the war in Iraq was?,” said Jay. Jay argues the reason these details are coming to light now is because the situation in Afghanistan is worsening and the withdraw date set by Obama is approaching; the finding of vast minerals gives the government a new rational to stay. “There is going to be a presence of American troops there for a long time,” said Jay. The story was broke by the New York Times, with direct quotes from General Petraeus and access to an internal pentagon memo no one else had …

Illegal Chinese Gold Mining in Ghana

02547GHFDJ12

For more news visit ☛english.ntdtv.com The Chinese regime is Africa’s largest trade partner and miners in countries such as Ghana increasingly rely on Chinese equipment and capital. But there are concerns that Chinese entrepreneurs are involved in illegal mining activities beyond the view of Ghana’s regulatory regime, and locals say their share of the profits is shrinking. Foreign gold seekers are nothing new in Ghana, but a new wave of prospectors are now making their presence felt, this time from China. Ghana’s laws say foreign companies are only allowed to work on large, open-pit operations. But campaigners say Chinese entrepreneurs are also illegally controlling small-scale operations behind the scenes, typically through a local intermediary. Ghana is Africa’s second largest gold exporter. More than 100000 Ghanaians work in these small, dark mine shafts. Together they produce about 20 percent of the country’s gold. The Chinese regime is Africa’s largest trade partner with two-way volume reaching $100-billion US dollars in 2010. Some welcome the Chinese because they bring necessary capital and equipment. But some workers in Ghana’s pits accuse Chinese entrepreneurs of increasing their share of local profits. [Joseph Ben, Former Illegal Miner] “The Chinese people bring their equipment which makes the work easy for you and they know the work too, but when you are sick they don’t pay your hospital bills you have to use your own money.” Mr. Ben says he used to work in a …

Unemployment Benefit News; Unemploment Rates Lower; Unemployment Extension Of Benefits Texas Notes 2011; Interst Rate Waivers to Pay Loans

The unemployment rate fell to a two year low this past week as the March reading of the national unemployment rate reading posted a notch lower than the February reading. Officially, the unemployment rate fell to a two year low of 8.8 percent in March, down from 8.9 percent in February. Specifically, the nation’s economy grew to the tune of an additional 216,000 jobs that were created in March. This good news helps support the positive trends observed recently in the jobs sector. Fewer Americans recently applied for first time unemployment benefits this past week as well. Overall, the unemployment rate has dropped more over the last four months than it has dropped over that same 4 month time frame in the past couple of decades. The economy is making substantial progress. The fact that our nation is recovering, jobs are improving and less Americans are filing for unemployment benefits is a plus, especially for those Americans living in Texas. Thousands of people in Texas are claiming unemployment during this current time but the funds set aside to pay out these benefits are depleting according to state program auditors. Even though the nation’s recovery is moving forward, our nations states will be paying back loans that were needed to pay for unemployment benefits for years. President Obama is considering waiver options on interest rates relating to these loans provided to over half the states in our union. Author: Stephen Johnson

NYSE Euro, Kodak Garner Options Action

A large move by an options trading investor in the in-play NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX ) doesn't seem to see the stock going much higher, despite the fact that there's a battle to take over the firm. The stock of NYX, owner of the New York Stock Exchange, has jumped on a higher bid for the exchange owner from Nasdaq OMX Group (NASDAQ: NDAQ ) and Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE ). NYX is up 11.52% to $39.22 after the hostile bid of $42.50 in cash and stock for each NYX share. An earlier offer from Deutsche Boerse was roughly $35.04 a share. The options are quite active, with more than 70,000 contracts already trading this morning. Topping the volume list is an interesting call spread. OptionMONSTER’s systems show that NYX 6,300 April 34 Calls traded for $5.20 against open interest of more than 12,000. Seconds later, 6,300 NYX June 37 Calls traded for $2.80. That volume is more than twice the previous open interest. So it appears that this is a roll from April to June as the stock surges. But the interesting part is that the April calls were apparently bought and the June calls sold, which would indicate a roll of a short call position. This is very likely done against long stock as a covered call position. Currently those June $37 calls have a small amount of time value, but the trade may be part of a larger merger arbitrage-type strategy. Find more option analysis and trading ideas at Options Trading Strategies . A large options trade in Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK ) indicates a trader believes the stock has found its floor, despite a sell off in the stock this week. EK trades at $3.29 up 1.86% on the day. The imaging company’s shares opened at $4 on Monday, which was the highest level for the stock since Jan. 26. EK was trading just under $6 in December and much of January before falling to a multi-year low of $2.90 in mid-March. In today’s volume our systems show that a trader sold 3,000 EK May 3 Puts for $0.22 in one large block that was above open interest, indicating that it was a new opening position. Put selling is a bet that the stock will stay above the $3 strike price. If it is below that level at expiration, those still holding short puts will be obligated to buy stock, which is sometimes the intention of investors who are looking to purchase shares at a lower price. optionMONSTER ® provides stock market insight, option trade ideas, and options education to meet the needs of do-it-yourself investors.

News Update: Stock Futures Rise on New Basel III Banking Rules

02547GHFDJ12

Futures on the Dow Jones (INDEXDJX:.DJI) are trading 142 points above fair value and futures on the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) are higher by 17 points after financial authorities from over 20 countries have released details of new banking rules regarding bank capital. Known as Basel III, the rules will require banks to raise common equity levels from 2% to 4.5% and Tier 1 ratios shall be raised from 4% to 6%. A countercyclical buffer within a range of 0% – 2.5% of common equity will also be required raising the total capital requirement to 7%. The rules, which will need to be ratified by the G-20 nations, require that banks comply with these minimum ratios within five years and those that do not meet the requirements will not be permitted to pay dividends but will not be forced to raise capital. Analysts had expected Tier 1 requirements to be raised to 8%, so perhaps the slightly lower capital requirements and the later deadlines are being viewed as positive by investors.

Murdoch Swallows Dow Jones, Video #4

02547GHFDJ12

News Hounds Archived Video Your World with Neil Cavuto July 31, 2007 The FOURTH segment in one 60-minute show devoted to Rupert the Great’s acquisition of Dow Jones. Another panel discussion, this featuring Scott Bleier, Tobin Smith, Gary B. Smith and Alexis Glick. What you see in these four videos is the beginning of a long-term, strategic propaganda campaign against CNBC and its parent company General Electric. Murdoch’s malicious minions have begun to trash the names GE, CNBC and NBC. This group of companies is clearly competition to News Corps and Murdoch has no qualms about requiring that his paid business analysts push an agenda that erodes confidence in his chief competitors. This isn’t news – business or otherwise. With Murdoch, you get controlled news and back-stabbing gutter tactics, cleverly designed to weaken rivals and/or bring down any politician or person in power who doesn’t dance to the Murdoch tune.

News Update: German Official Says Germany, France Reach Agreement on Greek Aid Package

02547GHFDJ12

3/25/2010-A German government official told Dow Jones Newswires Thursday, the Chancellor Angela Merkel has won the support of France for her proposal for a joint International Monetary Fund and bilateral aid package from euro-zone countries should Greece require assistance. News of the agreement came after Merkel met French President Nicolas Sarkozy for bilateral talks ahead of the summit of European Union leaders. Sarkozy’s support of the proposal is crucial as he had opposed the involvement of the IMF in the past. Dow Jones reports that a growing number of EU members said earlier Thursday that they support the involvement of the IMF. The EU summit will be dominated by talks on how to help Greece avoid a default on its debts without encouraging irresponsible borrowing by other governments, Dow Jones said. The prospect of helping Greece has been a tricky political issue for Merkel as the German public overwhelmingly opposes a German bailout of the debt-ridden nation.

Kara Swisher is Not Keen on News Corp Takeover of Dow Jones

Kara Swisher is Not Keen on News Corp Takeover of Dow Jones….And the Bancrofts Seem to Agree Kara Swisher, a longtime reporter and columnist at the Wall Street Journal, is one of the most influential technology journalists/author. She has also built a hugely successful conference business “D” for the Dow Jones Company. Just last week, she launched a blog with colleague Walt Mossberg. The new blog has lots of really good videos. I spoke with her this morning on Hollywood Boulevard outside the the AlwaysOn OnHollywood conference where Kara moderated a panel with Kevin Rose, Arianna Huffington and Alan Citron. I asked Kara about the prospect of a News Corp bid for the Dow Jones company. Like many of her colleagues at the Journal, she is not too thrilled. It seems that the Bancroft family, which controls Dow Jones, is not too thrilled either. The Wall Street Journal just reported that the Bancroft family is “taking no” action on the Murdoch bid. Here’s an update on Bloomberg. We’ll see. See this video on Beet.TV: www.beet.tv

Wells Fargo Sues Wells Fargo? Fox News Interviews Al Lewis of Dow Jones about it

02547GHFDJ12

Wells Fargo Sues Wells Fargo? Fox News Interviews Al Lewis of Dow Jones about it You can’t expect a bank that is dumb enough to sue itself to know why it is suing itself. Yet I could not resist asking Wells Fargo Bank NA why it filed a civil complaint against itself in a mortgage foreclosure case in Hillsborough County, Fla. “Due to state foreclosure laws, lenders are obligated to name and notify subordinate lien holders,” said Wells Fargo spokesman Kevin Waetke. Being a taxpayer-subsidized, too-big-to-fail institution, it’s possible that one of the few ways for Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) to know what it is doing is to notify itself with a court filing. In this particular case, Wells Fargo holds the first and second mortgages on a condominium, according to Sarasota, Fla., attorney Dan McKillop, who represents the condo owner. As holder of the first, Wells Fargo is suing all other lien holders, including the holder of the second, which is itself. “The primary reason is to clear title and ownership interest in a property to prepare it for sale,” Waetke said in an email exchange. “So it really is not Wells Fargo vs. Wells Fargo.” Yet court documents clearly label “Wells Fargo Bank NA” as the plaintiff and “Wells Fargo Bank NA” as a defendant. Wells Fargo hired Florida Default Law Group., PL, of Tampa, Fla., to file the lawsuit against itself. And then Wells Fargo hired another Tampa law firm — Kass, Shuler, Solomon, Spector, Foyle & Singer PA — to defend itself against its …

02547GHFDJ12

NEWS CORP officially completed its acquisition of DOW JONES yesterday after 60% of shareholders voted to close the deal. Rupert Murdoch soon showed up at the Dow Jones holiday party wearing a Santa hat. He brought some gifts, in the form of a new CEO, a new publisher and permanent vacations for several top DJ executives. The new lineup of News. Corp. veterans begins work today. THE WGA has filed a complaint against the AMPTP with the National Labor Relations Board citing unfair practices. The Guild claims that the producers violated federal law by issuing an ultimatum and then breaking off talks. Meanwhile, the Directors Guild of America said it was ready to begin talks with the AMPTP after the new year. KEVIN MARTIN will push ahead with the Dec. 18 vote on media ownership rules, despite complaints from legislators and the Senate Commerce Committee bill that seeks to block the vote. Martin told the Committee he would not delay the vote, ignoring complaints from both Democrats and Republicans. JEFFREY IMMELT addressed speculation about a possible sale of NBCU during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box. Immelt said the company is too valuable to consider selling, despite its recent struggles. He acknowledges the rapid change hitting the industry, saying “Anyone that thinks the TV-network business is going to be the same two years from now is crazy.” However, he thinks GE is in a position to capitalize on that change. We’ll see. WEBKINZ is suffering a Facebook-like consumer …

Today’s Spot Gold and Spot Silver Investing Price Trends; June Contract Gold and May Contract Silver News and Notes April 2nd, 2011

The major stock indices received a boost via the jobs report Friday and end of
day close marks settled well into the green. The economy has received positive
news for the better part of the week and this was enough to cause investors to
pay less attention to overseas developments and more attention to home based
growth in the United States. The safe haven appeal of precious metals fell lower
during the week and by the last trading session Friday, contract metals had
fallen mostly into negative territory. June contract gold fell 11.00 to end the
session at 1428.90. May silver fell .33 to end the session at 37.73. For the
first time in weeks, the one month change for gold has fallen into negative
territory. Current tracking of golds one month change reads a negative .17
percent. Silvers one month change is still holding positive by 8.97 percent, but
is slowly trending lower as well. Current spot gold and spot silver prices are
moving in negative territory this day as well. Spot silver per kilo is in the
red by 3.09 at 1214.53. Spot silver per ounce is trending red by .10 at 37.38.
Spot gold per kilo is moving lower by 341.44 by 45920.27 and spot gold per gram
is lower by .34 at 45.92. Author: Camillo Zucari

NASDAQ and ICE Making Takeover Offer for NYSE



Are Options a Zero Sum Game?

Most people consider options trading to be a zero sum game. When you make a trade, someone takes the other side and when one of you gains, the other loses an equal amount. From that definition it's difficult to argue that the term ‘zero sum game' does not apply to options, and to trading in general. However, I do make that argument. A Profit in Stocks When a trader decides to sell a specific holding when it rises to $75 per share, the trader may make a mental stop, or enter a GTC (good ’til canceled) sell order with his/her broker. When the stock is sold, the trader is happy with the result. Sure the stock may move higher, and one can argue that our trader ‘lost’ money by selling and that the ‘buyer’ made money. With this point of view, trading is a zero sum game. I'll concede that the buyer earned money, but not at the expense of the seller. I prefer to look at it this way: Our trader earned the profit he hoped to earn, and when that happened, he/she willingly transferred ownership of the shares to another trader. Once the position is out of the account, the trader neither makes nor loses anything. Any change in the stock's value affects only the new owner. There is no corresponding loss on the part of the trader who sold the shares. One trader made a graceful exit, accepted a profit, and now a different trader has a new investment. Options are Different Most of the world looks at options differently. But I don’t. If I buy a call option and earn a profit by selling at a higher price, there is no reason to believe that the seller took a loss corresponding to my gain. The seller may have hedged the play and earned an even larger profit than I did. The thought that options represent a zero sum game assumes that all trades are standalone plays and that if you profit, the other person must have lost. Just as our trader above decided that transferring ownership of the shares to another investor would be a good idea at $75/share, so too does the covered call writer. When I sell a covered call, I am thrilled when the stock rallies far above the strike price. It means I will earn my desired profit. Better than that — if the big rally comes soon, I will be able to exit the trade with perhaps 90% of my cash objective. Why is that so good when the last 10% is sacrificed? Because of time. If there are still many weeks remaining before expiration day arrives, I can reinvest my money into another position and use the same cash to earn even more than that 10% left on the table. It may be true that the person who bought my call scored a big win (if the trade was not hedged), but that’s not my loss. In fact, it was my additional gain (in the scenario presented). Risk Transfer Options were designed to transfer risk. In the covered call example, the seller accepted cash to help reach the target profit. By doing so, he/she willingly took cash to limit the profit potential of the trade. However, the point is that there was no potential profit to be sacrificed. The call seller would have sold stock at the strike price ($75) and earned less profit than the covered call writer, who collected $75 in addition to the option premium. The option buyer took on limited risk. If the stock did not rise far enough or fast enough, that buyer would have earned a loss. I don’t see anything resembling a zero sum game in hedged options transactions. I understand that others see it as black and white: If one gained, the other lost. But that’s an oversimplification.
