Close 6-Jan : 613.20 Change : 23.50 or 3.8% The GOLD PRICE and the SILVER PRICE
proved that I had misread the chart yesterday, thinking they had yet one more
small leg to rise. However, that euro fall/dollar spurt knocked them back. The
GOLD PRICE lost $16.70, closing Comex at $1,630.60; silver gave back 59.9c to
end at 2949.3. How much damage was done? Very little. The GOLD PRICE remained
above $1,630 support/resistance. Not bad after a week working through two
resistance levels ($1,607 and $1,625). However, if gold closes BELOW $1,630,
there's no safety net above $1,607, and a fall through $1,607 - $1,600 would
evoke painful defections from gold's newly won fair weather friends. Yet this,
too, is valuable. Extent of this fall will tell us how healthy gold is, and
whether it has bottomed in truth. Even if it fell to $1,550 (don't I wish!),
that would merely confirm the previous (29 December) low as a bottom. Only
violating that bottom ($1,523.90) would imperil gold with new low prices. If I
had to say, and I never can seem to resist saying, it appears that gold has
moved stoutly off its bottom and will make one further leg up toward $1,680
before it is dragged back into another correction. If so, Monday or Tuesday
surely will see gold rise through $1,650 resistance, perhaps as high as $1,705
before it relents. After all's said and done, the SILVER PRICE gained 2.9% this
week, passing several milestones along the way. First, it crossed above the 20
day moving average (2908c). Next, it punched thru the downtrend line from the
September highs, and for four days has abided above that line. From a close to
the ground viewpoint, silver broke out then went back to the trend line today to
plant a final kiss good-bye on its forehead. All this makes it all the more
important that silver hold 2950c support, lest the newly boarded rats jump ship.
Above silver must clear 3050c resistance. A break of 2950c support would not
necessarily take silver below 2850c again, but it would lean it that way
sharply. Monday will reveal silver's mind for the week. My money is on higher
silver next week. IN SUM, GOLD has most likely bottomed, although SILVER might
have one more drop in mind, not necessarily to a new low. Time to start buying.
Doing a little thinking the last few days has led to some gold targets I am
almost loath to share with y'all, they sound so high. By end of 2012 or January
2013, gold ought to cost $2,660 an ounce. Top of this next wave that just began
stands somewhere ABOVE $4,500. Yes, yes, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm just
the reporter, not the creator. At $4,500 gold a 30:1 ratio puts silver at $150.
Crazy, but y'all will behold it, and with your own eyes. This week's big gainers
were platinum (up 6.1%), palladium (3.8%), and silver (2.9%). Gold gained only
modestly (0.9%), as did stocks. US dollar index remained above 81 and gained a
little ground: rally intact. Tomorrow is the 12th anniversary of the 14 January
2000 all time inflation-adjusted high in the Dow: 11,722. That would equal
15,325 today. So in value-terms, although the Dow today stands nominally above
that 11,722 close, it's an illusion. In inflation adjusted dollar terms, the Dow
since 2000 has lost 19% of its value. Against gold and silver it has lost much
more, over 80%. Today the Dow lost 48.81 (0.4%) to close 12,422.21. S&P500 lost
6.4 (0.5%), ending at 1,289.10. For the week, the Dow tried to penetrate doubled
resistance at 12,600 from the long narrow triangle it fell out of last August,
failed even to beat 12,500, and has rolled over almost off the bed. Next move
will be an Edgar Rice Burroughs special, headed toward The Earth's Core. Will
look like a mole with a motor. (Yesterday I wrote that the Dow had fallen out of
a "long narrow equilateral" triangle. One puzzled reader wrote to ask me how a
triangle could be both long and narrow AND equilateral. I wore out three
try-squares trying to figure a way, but couldn't. So scratch the "equilateral."
The triangle was just long and narrow, period.) Today the US dollar gained a
massive 76.1 basis points (0.98%) to close 81.531, while the euro lost 1.11% to
close at a new low for the move, 1.2675. What happened? When talks on cutting
Greece's debt looked close to collapsing, the S&P rating agency downgraded
government debt of France, Austria, Italy, and Spain by a notch each. From AAA
France and Austria fell to AA+, Italy was lowered to BBB+ and Spain twitched
from AA- to A. That spooked investors out of euros and into dollars, which may
be likened to hiding from a lion in a bear's den. Folks may pretend that Greece,
with less than 2% of the Eurozone's GDP, raises no waves when its boat sinks.
However, they can't pretend that France doesn't matter, since portfolios all
over Europe are stuffed with France government debt which today became worth
much less than yesterday. The pretence of debt and fiat money is melting like a
wax mask too near the fire. What can any investor count on any longer, when what
was supposed to be the lowest risk investment -- government debt -- suddenly
devalues overnight, or may even be wholesale devalued in banking deals out of
control of investors or citizens? Under these circumstances, I remember those
great sentiments of Omar Khayyam, "Ahhh! Take the cash, and let the credit go,
nor heed the rumble of a distant drum." You'd better get value in your own hands
and in real things, because all the abstracts and illusions are leaving the
planet for money heaven. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver
must be bought. - Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger The-MoneyChanger.com ©

Gold and Silver Changed Direction and Fell –Recap January 13
Gold and silver prices changed direction and traded down along with the rest of
the market following the announcement that S&P will cut the credit rating of
France and Austria from AAA to AA+. The other leading rating agencies left these
countries rating unchanged for now. This news pulled down not only commodities
prices but also the Euro and other currencies against the U.S. dollar: crude oil
prices moderately declined, natural gas price also continued to decrease. Major
currencies such as Euro and Australian dollar sharply depreciated against the
U.S dollar. Here is a summary of the price developments of precious metals and
energy commodities for January 13th, 2012: Precious Metals Prices: Gold price
changed direction and sharply fell on Friday by 1.05% to $1,630.80; Silver price
also declined by 2% to reach $29.52. During January, gold price inclined by
4.1%, and silver price by 5.76%.

Friday Apple Rumors: iPhone 5 Will Work for 3G — and 4G
Here are your apple rumors and AAPL stock news items for Friday: Morgan Stanley
Says iPhone 5 is Both 3G and 4G: Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty said in a
Friday note to investors that Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) next smartphone should
leave most consumers happy. Based on information gathered on a recent trip to
Asia, the Huberty said its likely the iPhone 5 will include a quad-mode chip
manufactured by Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM ) that will allow the phone to function
on 3G networks, as well as LTE networks, like the 4G networks used by Verizon
(NYSE: VZ ) and AT&T (NYSE: T ). The new iPhone also will be slimmer than the
iPhone 4S that was released in October. Investors worried that this quarter
might see a dip in iPhone sales ahead of the release of a new phone, similar to
the one during 2011s third quarter, should be assured by Hubertys belief that
Apple will be able to maintain heavy shipments after the holiday period. Apple
Teams With Fair Labor Association: Apples bright and friendly image is a
difficult thing to maintain, especially given the frequency with which deaths
occur at the Foxconn Technology Group manufacturing plants that make the
companys iPhone and iPad. At least 15 workers have died at the Chinese
manufacturer, 12 of which were suicides, and reports of worker mistreatment at
Foxconns plants have plagued Apple since 2006. A Bloomberg report on Apples new
partnership with the Fair Labor Association , a watchdog group that monitors
workplace conditions around the world, said the company is working to ensure its
products are made under humane conditions. Apples suppliers now will submit to
audits conducted by the FLA and will enforce United Nations-approved conduct
codes. OnLive Windows Desktop for iPad Released: That was quick! Streaming media
company OnLive announced a new service on Tuesday that will let iPad owners
stream a fully functioning Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) Windows desktop to their
tablet , including access to Microsofts popular Office tools. The app was made
available to the public on Friday morning. While the current version of the app
is free and gives users 2GB of free cloud storage for documents, the company
plans to launch a premium version for $10 per month that will give 50GB of
storage and improved Web browsing. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello did
not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks. Follow him on Twitter

Proof Kodak Was Doomed, 14 Years Ago
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK ) is in it deep. While Kodak is is trying to stave off bankruptcy via restructuring , crippling debt and troubles turning a profit mean there isn't much time on the clock. Back in November I wrote that Kodak stock was headed to zero , and at less than a dollar it looks like that prediction could be true before the year is out. Amid all the mayhem, I got a great note from a reader last week. Floyd, who now lives in sunny California but was an employee of Kodak from 1965 to 1991, passed on an article written about the Rochester, N.Y., company's trouble amid a changing business landscape. Floyd passed on an article from the Democrat and Chronicle dated Jan. 5, 1998. The headline? "Can Kodak Make Necessary Changes" One excerpt reads, "The solution to Kodak's problems is deceptively simple, but thwarted by a culture of fear in which management cannot afford the risk of 'looking bad.'" Click to Enlarge Click on the image to the right to enlarge it and take a peek for yourself. Considering Kodak invented some of the first digital camera technology but refused to move beyond traditional film until it was way too late, that seems like an eerie commentary of a culture that persisted over the last 14 years and probably persisted long before this article was written. Floyd adds his two cents: Thinking back to the late 80′s when I was a technician

But it came not from S&P but from French Finance Minister Francois Baroin , who spoke on French TV. He said the rating would be dropped by one notch, to AA+. Speculation was high all day on Friday that S&P would finally move to lower the ratings of several eurozone countries after various officials made off-the-record comments about the looming downgrades. An EU official told Bloomberg that Italy's rating was getting cut by two notches, from A to BBB+. Germany was reported to be keeping its pristine AAA rating. As of mid-afternoon in New York, S&P had not yet made any official announcements. It typically does so after the New York markets close. The major U.S. indexes didn't react dramatically as the news of the downgrades grew more certain on Friday afternoon. After being down over 100 points earlier, partly on the poor earnings report by JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ), with less than an hour to go on NYSE trading, the Dow Jones Industrials were down around 80 points.

Kodak Slammed on Latest Bankruptcy News
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Eastman Kodak (NYSE: EK ) shares dropped about 24% on Friday on reports that the company is talking with Citigroup (NYSE: C ) about providing bankruptcy financing. According to Bloomberg , three people familiar with the matter disclosed the news, saying Kodak could seek protection from creditors within weeks. The company then would hold an auction to sell off its large cache of patents — a move that many previously thought Kodak could explore to avoid bankruptcy. Late last year, the company also said it was interested in selling its Kodak Gallery digital business . Shares were trading around 50 cents late Friday afternoon, just days after the stock was re-energized on news of an internal restructuring . This seemed to reassure investors that Kodak was sticking with its comments in September that the company did not plan to file for bankruptcy. Kodak shares have been trading for less than $1 for month and are in danger of being delisted by the New York Stock Exchange if they don't make a consistent return above that mark within six months. – Kyle Woodley, IP.com Assistant Editor A full report from Bloomberg can be found here.

JPMorgan Earnings: Another Red Flag for Bank Stocks
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) missed Wall Street forecasts by a hair on Friday, but the financial stock sold off sharply. Apparently, investors aren't interested in whether the Big Four banks that include JPMorgan, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ), Citigroup (NYSE: C ) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) are plodding along as expected. They’re more concerned about whether these banks are stuck on the same course — that is, steadily downward. MarketWatch columnist and Wall Street Journal writer David Weidner summed it up well on Friday: If JPM is the best the financial sector has to offer, we’re in deep trouble. Here are the specifics. JPM posted fourth-quarter earnings that dropped 23%, largely on declines from investment revenue. It suffered a 52% decline investment banking profits to $726 million as revenue fell 30%. That was expected. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said last month his company figured investment banking revenue would take a hit in Q4. This isn’t just a JPM problem, but an industrywide trend. The Fiscal Times reported this in December: "Only 96 of the 175 NYSE member firms reporting results indicated any kind of profit for the third quarter of this year; the number of unprofitable firms soared. Collectively, those member firms that do business with the public lost a stunning $1.92 billion in the third quarter, compared to profits of $2.1 billion in the second quarter and $4.7 billion in the third quarter of 2010." JPMorgan's headline earnings of $3.73 billion, or 90 cents a share, matched numbers that analysts had already pushed downward due to gloomy forecasts. Yes, Q4 2010 earnings totaled $4.83 billion, or $1.12 a share — but experts weren't surprised. So why the sharp sell-off? And why are traders now forecasting doom and gloom for Citigroup, Wells Fargo, BofA and other blue-chip financials? Well, a big reason is that memories of 2011 are likely too strong to forget. The financial sector was rebounding across the 2010 holidays and had some spring in its step to start 2011. BofA stock was at $15. Citigroup was above $45 (adjusted for that 10-for-1 split, of course). JPMorgan was near $45, too. Then major financial stocks fell, on average, almost 30% across 2011 — even though earnings didn't fall at the same clip. And in the cases, like JPMorgan, there were even signs of life amid the crash. JPM revenue stayed pretty flat, all things considered, and fiscal 2011 earnings were up 17% over 2010 full-year numbers. The company reinstated a respectable dividend that at current valuations yields about 2.7%. But now in mid-January, BAC is under $7, Citi is $30 and JPM is $35. And that's after a rip-roaring rally to start 2012! The recent declines have wiped out close to a third of this year’s gains. Another big reason for the sell-off is that Wall Street just doesn't trust the bottom lines of these banks. If investment banking revenue is drying up, what’s going to replace it? Regulations continue to limit bank profitability. A backlog of foreclosures and bad debt persists. The drumbeat of litigation related to robo-signings and other unpleasantries is endless. Where will growth come from? Most folks think JPMorgan is the standard bearer for big financial stocks. It’s now larger than Bank of America by total assets. Jaime Dimon is considered the prima donna of financial CEOs. His bank quickly returned to profitability after the financial crisis and hasn't posted a quarterly loss since the end of 2008. But clearly there are reasons to worry about JPM –

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Good news may be on the horizon for college seniors who are nearing graduation. If a recent survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers is any indication, soon-to-be graduates could be seeing bigger paychecks when they join the workforce. According to the Salary Survey for 2012, the overall average salary for the Class of 2011 graduates is up to $41,701, which is 2.3% higher than graduates of the year before. The top earners of the Class of 2011 were engineering students, who reported average starting salaries of $61,872 upon graduation — a 1.5% increase from the previous year. Computer Science graduates weren’t far behind, with the biggest increase in pay out of all disciplines. Students in this field landed jobs with an average starting salary of $60,594 last year, up 4.1% from 2010. Business students, which include economics, accounting, business administration and finance majors, reported the second highest increase in salaries of 3.8%, ranked third in the survey with an average salary of $48,144. If you're a soon-to-be graduate be sure you follow your passions, but do take note of these findings. The more time you use to prepare prior to graduation might mean the less time you'll have to spend living at home with your parents.

McDonald’s Extends Olympic Sponsorship, Continues to Draw Ire
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) once again is a top sponsor of the Olympic Games. But
not everyone is lovin' it. On Thursday, McDonald's announced it would
continue its sponsorship through 2020, a deal estimated around $100 million per
four years, or for every pair (winter and summer) of Olympic Games. In addition
to its role in this year's Games in London, McDonald's now will gain
exposure in Sochi, Russia (2014), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2016) and Pyeongchang,
South Korea (2018). The 2020 Summer Games location has yet to be determined.
McDonald's also uses the Olympics as a primary part of its advertising
initiatives each year in the U.S. In a statement, McDonald's President and COO
Don Thompson said, "In keeping with McDonalds ongoing commitment to childrens
well-being, we will continue to communicate with kids about the importance of
balanced eating and active lifestyles through our partnership with the Games."
However, it's the topic of health that's landing McDonald's in hot water.
For years, various organizations have protested McDonald's sponsorship of the
Olympic Games on the basis of hypocrisy many are galled by the notion that a
restaurant known for flipping fatty burgers and greasy fries is joined at the
hip with one of the foremost showcases of athleticism and fitness. Numerous
protests already are planned for the 2012 Games. A former Olympian is
particularly outraged at one of the 2012 initiatives for London. McDonald's
will build its largest location ever a 30,000-square-meter, two-story behemoth
capable of seating 1,500 customers in the Olympic Park. 2004 boxing silver
medalist Amir Khan has criticized organizers, telling the Daily Mail , "It is
clearly sending the wrong signal to kids and young people. If we want them to be
healthy and educate them to eat healthily, we need to think about approaching
them in a different way, especially around sport." Also, McDonald's position
as the exclusive "meal brand" of the games has drawn much ire across Britain
for putting an American face on the food. Other chains must remove their labels
and/or change packaging on food sold throughout several Olympic sites, according
to The Guardian , meaning the country's mix of British, Indian and other
ethnic fare will go mostly unnoticed. Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO ) has a similar
exclusivity deal with the Games as the sole provider of non-alcoholic drinks.
However, spectators will be able to bring their own drinks into the various
Olympic venues. McDonald's isn't alone in drawing ire as an Olympic sponsor.
In December, the Indian Olympic Association executive board planned to protest
Dow Chemical 's (NYSE: DOW ) sponsorship of the Games. Dow Chemical in 2001
bought Union Carbide India Limited, which owned a pesticide plant in Bhopal,
India, that leaked toxins and killed thousands in subsequent years. While Dow
had no direct connection to the incident, protestors have decried the mere link
between the two companies. Kyle Woodley, InvestorPlace Assistant Editor

Apple Shuts Down iPhone 4S Launch in China After Egging
Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL ) popular iPhone 4S officially launched in China Friday.
However, delays in the sale of the device in Beijing and Shanghai caused an
exceptionally large crowd of disgruntled Apple fanatics to protest. The shouts
lead to scuffles, and the scuffles eventually lead to eggs being thrown at the
stores facade no doubt directed at the employees inside for having not opened
the store on time. In order to protect both customers and employees, Apple shut
down sales of the iPhone 4S in its mainland China stores altogether. Although
the iPhone will no longer be sold in stores, for the time being, Chinese
consumers can still purchase the device through China Unicom (NYSE: CHU ),
Chinas local carrier, or online. You can find the full description on NPR .

$11,000 In Profits Thursday, Live Updates For Friday January 13, 2012
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 Penny Stock Live What an excellent start to January and let’s work hard to keep the momentum going. It’s early here but it appears we’ll finish the week strong as Asia and Europe are rocking. $11,000 in profits yesterday from CEDC, USAT and QPSA is by far one of my best days in a long time and the best part is we planned these moves months ago and illustrates the power of buying support when things look back and swinging strength as the story improves. I’ll be out of chat and behind on email today so be smart with your trades. The market is closed Monday so we’ll get back after it Tuesday. My goal today, this weekend and Monday is to get everyone situated on Profitly so if you have not created a username there yet be sure to do so and email it to me so I can migrate your account. Click here to create a Profitly username Finally, I’m planning on holding LGF long and I mean long…probably a month or two. Obviously that would change if the company had terrible news or the market went into a tailspin but today that doesn’t appear to be the case. LGF has a lot and I mean a lot going for it right now and I think it trades well above $10 soon. I’m really happy with the chart pattern on FLOW so I’m looking to hold here. If it runs hard I’ll scale out of half my position on the way up just like I did QPSA but understand I’m in no rush. This stock held its flag pattern for well over a few weeks and I think it’s heading to the low to mid $4′s. There’s a good chance I don’t sell anything today but of course I’ll keep you updated if I do.

dow2664 Todays DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 News: Market news and reactions appeared to be reversed during the last trading session. The primary stock indices were pressured during the session, but it might be for reasons that you would not expect. The DJIA , Nasdaq, and S&P 500, were weighed down during the last trading session due to weaker than expected economic home based economic reports. After a batch of reports in the U.S. skewed toward the positive, the negatively skewed reports last session were surprising for some. Ultimately though, the primary indices found positive ground to close. Unemployment benefit claims, as well as retails sales data, posted weaker than expected and applied the primary pressure to the indices last session. Negative weight stemming from the eurozone debt crisis sat on the back back burner. According to the government’s statistics, the number of Americans that applied for initial unemployment benefits for the week ended January 7th calculated to 399,000. This was almost 25,000 more applications made than analysts had expected. Also, the data stemming from the retail sales report was weaker than expected. According to this report, the number of retail sales for the month of December rose only .1 percent which was also below what analysts were anticipating. Stock indices absorbed the weaker than expected economic reports and still closed in the green across the board. Dow Jones Close, S&P 500 Close, Nasdaq Close: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the last session in the green by .17 percent and posted a closing value of 12,471.02 for the last session. The Nasdaq index finished the day in the green by .51 percent and posted a closing value of 2,724.70. The S&P 500 finished the day in the green by .23 percent and posted a floor price of 1,295.50 Stocks were challenged throughout the last trading session, but ultimately managed to end the day on the positive side of break-even.

Xstrata to Appeal Against Denial on Tampakan Mine #Xstratacopper, #tampakanmine, #Sagittariusmines
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
min2664 So the verdict’s out. It’s no go for Xstrata Plc and Indophil Resources in continuing with open pit mining method on the $5.9 billion copper-gold Tampakan project, potentially slowing its development as the biggest untapped deposit in Southeast Asia. Slated to begin commercial production by 2016, the Tampakan project is now put on hold because the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has issued a notice to reject its application of an Environment Clearance Certificate (ECC). DENR Secretary Ramon Paje said last month he would not allow the issuance of an ECC for the project until a local ban on open-pit mining in South Cotabato in southern Philippines was lifted. In response, Xstrata Plc’s Philippine unit has said that it is "extremely disappointed". Sagittarius Mines Inc, the operator for the Tampakan project is rooting for an appeal. In an email statement, Sagittarius President said that the rejection contradicts the national government's view that "national laws which permit open-pit mining methods should take precedence over conflicting provincial ordinances." He also added, "This lack of consistency by the national government poses a very real threat to investment confidence in the Philippines." The Tampakan mine, which shall be the largest foreign direct investment in the Philippines, is projected to produce 340,000 metric tons of copper and 350,000 ounces of gold annually from 2016 into 2036. Unless the government fixes its policy problems, this ban could potentially dampen investment funds in the mining industry to develop the country’s estimated $1 trillion in mineral resources. Sagittarius Mines GM, Mr Mark Williams, DENR Secretary Ramon Paje and Mr Steve De Kruijff, COO of Xstrata Copper will all be speaking at the Asia Mining Congress 2012. It will be interesting to get insights and perspectives from all three parties. Do not miss out on this rare opportunity to mingle with the who’s who in the industry.

dow2664 A woman named Rachel Beer was banned from a brewing competition in Queensland, New Zealand. And is wasn’t because she was named ‘ Beer ‘. It was because she wasn’t a man. Apparently the rules of the home brewing competition require that the entrants be male. She complained but the contest official didn’t give in. She was told to suggest a ‘mixed’ competition for next year. At least she can invest in beer stocks in the mean time.

The stock trades at 14 times current earnings and 12 times forward earnings, with a reasonable price to earnings growth ratio of 2.29. In addition, the company pays a decent CD beating yield of 2.9%.
