Riverside County Ramps Up Extraction of Iron Ore #USAmining, #ironore
Four hundred employees will find jobs in an old iron age mine located some 14
miles east of Twentynine Palms. The mine is owned by US Iron LLC, which will
start mining for iron ore this spring. This figure is a big boost to the
existing mining employment numbers at Riverside and San Bernardino counties,
with only 1,100 people working in the mining and logging sector. As there are
several mining projects underway, the industry is expected to grow in tandem
with better economic conditions. With a buoyant mining industry, aggregate
demand for labour and talent is set to rise further. There are currently 70
mines and 40 mining companies in operation. Most of the mining work in the
two-county inland region are largely related to construction materials such as
industrial sand, gravel, stone, clays and other raw materials. None of the mines
seek precious metals like gold and silver anymore, though it was once home to
such commodities 40 years ago. What other opportunities are waiting to be
unearthed in America? Hear it from our experts at the dedicated Americas Day
during Asia Mining Congress. Download the programme brochure here. Connect with

Why Brazil Stocks?
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Last week, the rating agency, Standard & Poor’s, downgraded the credit ratings for nine countries, France, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia. Yet just a couple months ago, S&P raised Brazil’s foreign currency rating with little fanfare. According to John Chambers , S&P Managing Director Sovereign Ratings, “the upgrade of Brazil was supported by the current administration’s growing track record of prudent macroeconomic policies, including fairly consistent primary surpluses of close to 3% of GDP.” From an economic standpoint, Brazil is the seventh largest country in the world based on GDP. The country is the world leader in renewable source energy, especially ethanol which it generates from sugarcane. Fortunately for investors, there are plenty of Brazilian stocks that trade on the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Based on the free list of Brazil stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, twenty-five Brazilian stocks are available to US investors and almost all of them pay dividends. One example is Braskem S.A. (BAK), the largest chemical company in South America. It makes and markets petrochemical and thermoplastic products. The stock trades at 15 times forward earnings and sports a very generous yield of 7.0%. Revenues for the latest reported quarter were up over 15%. In the area of beverages, Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (ABV), also known as Ambev, makes and sells beer, soft drinks, malt, and other non-alcoholic and non-carbonated products. The stock has a forward price to earnings ratio of 20, and a yield of 4.3%. Revenues were up 6.6% for the latest quarter, although earnings were down 7%. Gerdau S.A. (GGB), founded in 1901, manufactures and markets steel products. The stock trades at eight times forward earnings and offers investors a 2.9% yield. Latest quarter revenues were up 9.5%, with earnings up 31.9%. Telefonica Brasil, S.A. ADS (VIV) is a fixed-line telecommunications company with a forward PE of 10, a yield of 1.4%.

Gold Stocks Steady, Gold Rises to $1,644
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
DG365FD46564GFH654FU898 GOLD STOCKS NEWS – Gold stocks in Canada were mixed on Monday as the S&P/TSX Global Gold Index inched higher by 0.02% to 380.72 in afternoon trading. Gold stocks in the U.S did not trade on Monday, as the equity markets were closed for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. As such, the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) – the world’s largest gold stocks ETF – remained at Friday’s closing level of $54.05 per share. The stability in Canadian gold stocks came as gold futures rose $13.50, or 0.8%, to $1,644.30 per ounce. The gold stocks sector is coming off its first stretch of consecutive weekly gains since early November, as the GDX has climbed 5.1% thus far in 2012. The rebound in gold stocks followed a particularly disappointing year, however, for the GDX. Despite a 10.1% gain in the spot price of gold in 2011 – its 11th straight annual gain – the gold stocks ETF tumbled 16.6% amid broad-based liquidation in precious metals equities. The vast majority of large-cap gold stocks – which are the principal components of the GDX – have been unable to provide investors with the gold price leverage exhibited during prior gold bull markets. Two of the most noteworthy examples of this underperformance have been Canadian-based miners Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM) and Barrick Gold (ABX). In 2011, shares of AEM and ABX dropped 52.1% and 14.0%, respectively. Even Goldcorp (GG) – one of the best performing large-cap gold stocks last year – fell 2.9%. In contrast to their larger peers, many small- and mid-cap gold stocks have provided investors with enhanced gold price leverage during previous bull markets in gold. One key reason for this trend has been the superior growth potential of many gold exploration and development companies. One emerging gold Company focused on generating signficant growth is West Kirkland Mining (WKM.TSX), which has considerable mineral rights positions in the Kirkland Lake area of Ontario, Canada and in North Eastern Nevada. This morning, West Kirkland reported a drilling update on its Cunningham property in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The Company noted that it drilled an additional 18 holes representing 3,345.5 meters on the Cunningham property, and ten holes had intercepts greater than one gram-meter. Furthermore, the intercepts confirm a three dimensional gold bearing target in classic Kirkland Lake style where further drilling will be implemented to map the best grade-thickness. Highlights of the results included intercepts of 7.85 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold over 0.80 meters in Hole KC1184, 20.10 g/t over 1.00 meters in Hole KC1186, 17.80 meters of 1.25 g/t Au in Hole KC1187, and 2.00 meters grading 3.69 g/t Au in Hole KC1194. The Company noted that based on the encouraging results, it intends to drill approximately 15,000 meters of core on its Kirkland Lake properties in 2012. Due in part to the progress it has made since going public in 2010, West Kirkland has garnered attention from a myriad of institutional investors seeking leverage to the gold price from small-cap companies in the sector. Notable firms have acquired considerable stakes in WKM.TSXV include Front Street Investment Management, RBC Asset Management, and The K2 Principal Fund. In Monday afternoon trading, two of the best performing large-cap gold stocks in Canada included AuRico Gold (AUQ.TSX) and Kinross Gold. AUQ.TSX climbed 2.4% to C$8.98 per share and K.TSX rose 1.9% to C$13.15 per share. Excerpt from: Gold Stocks Steady, Gold Rises to $1,644
After a Fast Start in 2012, Citi Could Fall Even Faster
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Citigroup (NYSE: C ) provides a range of financial products and services to consumers, corporations, governments and institutions. The company operates through two segments, Citicorp and Citi Holdings. The Citicorp segment operates as a global bank for businesses and consumers through two primary businesses, Regional Consumer Banking and Institutional Clients Group. The Citi Holdings segment operates Brokerage and Asset Management, Local Consumer Lending, and Special Asset Pool businesses. Citigroup has approximately 200 million customer accounts and operates in approximately 160 countries. After a spectacular start to the year, banking stocks are facing a few headwinds right now, due mainly to a weak report from best-in-breed JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), more rumblings out of Europe of potential downgrades, and the enduring problem that is Greece. With bank stocks generally up over 20% just this year, sentiment readings are getting rather frothy. As one of the biggest money-center banks, Citigroup has had a similar great start to the year, moving up over 20% from $26.31 to over 31 just this year. While some of the move is attributable to short-covering and the unwinding of last year's performance drag, the momentum may have carried the stock too far, too fast. Given the extreme overbought levels along with low levels of implied volatility (which can be, at times, a harbinger of a top), I am looking to take a counter-trend position — watching for C to retrace about 60% of its gains by March expiration, which would put the stock around the $28.50 level. Based on Citigroup’s current market price of $30.74 and using a target price of $28.50, a target date of March 16, 2012, and $1,000 of investment capital, this is an excellent candidate for capturing some nice gains by buying the C March 40 Put or selling the C March 28-25 put credit spread.

Volatility: Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace Ah, yes, a little game of hide-and-seek. Games like this intrigue us, much the same way evaluating expectations in the market captures our interest. Is the root of the game "Hey, volatility, come out of hiding — we know you're out there?" Or is this game asking, based on current market conditions where volatility expectations are still too high (we see you hiding in these option premiums), "Will you please just come out already?" And just as intriguing is the answer to both scenarios is … yes. There certainly are many possible scenarios which could manifest and push the CBOE Volatility Index (CBOE: VIX ) back into the higher 20s or even 30s. However, most of these scenarios have been a constant presence in the markets for the past year, if not more. We hear about the euro zone every day … their troubles with debt, their currency, their interest rates and so on. Yields on Italy's 10-year notes have been hovering around 7% for the past several months. In the past, the thought of such high yields on these 10-year notes sent shockwaves through the global markets. However, as time passes, the anxieties of the unknown become the reality of the known. What many viewed as a catalyst for market destruction has turned out to be yet another highly publicized, overhyped event that the overall markets have priced into the mix. This "wall of worry" has generated enough pricing pressure to push the S&P 500 ( SPX ) back up to the 1,300 level. With the VIX trading back down to the low 20s, many market purveyors have sounded the alarm that volatility is too low, offering cheap market protection. As shown in the chart below, volatility has come down quite a bit over the past month. One could make the case that the perceived systemic risks in the market make buying volatility attractive at these levels.

All Signs Point to Yet Another Earnings Win for Eaton
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
tdp2664 InvestorPlace There are two types of traders out there – the technicians, who live and die by what the charts tell them, and the fundamentalists, who buy and sell based on a corporation's overall health and its prospects for future growth. Many traders swear by their strategies and don't give much thought to the other guy's approach. Yet, the people who tend do the best in the markets are usually aware of both a stock's technicals and the company's fundamentals, and place their trades accordingly. However you identify yourself as a trader, here's an options idea designed to satisfy all kinds of traders. Eaton Corp. (NYSE: ETN ) is a diversified industrial manufacturer with about 73,000 employees. The company has some pretty solid fundamentals and has a P/E ratio of 12.7 over the past 12 months. In the past five years, the company has posted positive earnings and a positive free cash flow. Technically, since the beginning of October the stock has moved from about $34 to where it is currently trading (just below $49 at this time). Just this past week, ETN got above its 200-day simple moving average, which it hasn't been able to do in some time, while maintaining a bullish trend. That makes this a great time to buy the ETN Feb 50 Calls for $1.10 or less. The long call strategy is relatively straightforward. The trade profits when the stock rises and the call premium increases as the ETN option moves more and more in-the-money (ITM). Maximum profit is unlimited because ETN can continue to rise and the maximum loss is $1.10 if ETN finishes below $50 at February expiration. Consider entering on this trade idea if the stock can get above Friday's high, which was $48.82. A practical target for the stock is right around $52, which is a resistance level. The company is expected to announce earnings on Jan. 26.

Gold Bugs, Stop Laughing!
Owning gold should make financial crises fun. Which alongside silver, it has
surely done to date, 20% and 50% plunges aside. But if you already own physical
bullion or youre about to consider it spare a thought for everyone else.
Because pointing and laughing at the misfortune of others is an ugly habit. It
only makes us gold bugs more boring at parties as well. A little sympathy, and a
stab at empathy too, could go a long way to redeeming us socially. And it would
be far better than taking a pratfall of our own, youll agree. Crowing about
being so right, so early is understandable, of course. Hitting a 22-year low in
July 1999, the price of investment gold has since risen sharply pretty much
year after year against the euro, yen and sterling, as well as every other
currency you can name. Silver bullion has done better still over the last decade
that decade straddling both the tech stock crash and its offspring, the
cheap-money bubble, sired by meek academics wielding godlike powers at the big
central banks. The permanent emergency following the inevitable blow-up has only
accelerated golds outperformance against pretty much every other financial asset
you can name, too. Number of Mutual Funds Beating Gold Country Over 10 years to
end-2011 Over 5 years to end-2011 France 1 1 Germany 0 0 Italy 0 0 Japan 4 1
United Kingdom 3 0 United States 15 1 Source: BullionVault via LBMA, BoE,
MorningStar. Includes upfront & ongoing fees. In most cases, this acceleration
of dumb bullions schadenfreude has come thanks to its own faster gains, plus the
flagging performance of the finest investment minds. But not in Japan. There, in
the land of the zero interest rate, retained savings have grown so used to
earning nothing nothing! in return for credit or capital risk, that even gold
and silver slowed their rate of gain during the last half-decade of permanent
emergency. Since the start of 2007, gold has returned just 8.8% per year to
Japanese buyers (compound annual growth rate, after costs). Silver slowed more
dramatically still, halving its 10-year CAGR to just 6.1% per year. And all
because, of course, the yen has rallied during this crisis so far. How come?
Japan was long into depression when this global crisis began, youll recall. Its
own domestic bubble exploded in 1989, dragging GDP, wages and even shop prices
into deflation since. Japan thus got the absurd joy of zero interest rates
almost a decade ahead of everyone else, helping knock the all-too-powerful yen
down on the currency market in 2000-08 (see above) but still failing to induce
the magic reflation. Come the big bang of late 2008, and the yen reversed a huge
chunk of its fall, as hedge funds (and others) suckered into selling it short by
the Bank of Japans zero-rate gambit realized that every other central bank was
about to try the same gag. Gold plunged in yen, short term, and silver fell
harder again. Net-net, both metals have offered the best store of value (barring
just two mutual funds) for Japans household investors. But theyve both slowed
their rate of return to what compared to the 20%-or-so annual gains for dollar,
sterling or euro investors looks like a crawl. Depressed returns to investment
are only to be expected in a depression, of course, not least from lumps of
metal that never promised a yield in the first place. But even the best stores
of wealth meaning gold and silver since 2002 and especially 2007, in Japan just
as much as in the U.S. and Europe might be vulnerable. Zero growth, and the
zero rates through which central banks hope to undo it, are starting to set
around investors like concrete. Adrian Ash is head of research at BullionVault .

Stocks Going Ex Dividend the Fourth Week of January 2012
XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF
dow2664 Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends’. This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend . This technique generally works only in bull markets. In flat or choppy markets, you have to be extremely careful, and may need to avoid the technique during those times. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date. The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend during the next week or two. The list contains many dividend paying companies, all with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the market capitalization, the ex-dividend date and the yield. The Clorox Company (CLX) market cap: $8.7B ex div date: 1/24/2012 yield: 3.7% Royal Bank of Canada (RY) market cap: $71.7B ex div date: 1/24/2012 yield: 4.4% QR Energy LP (QRE) market cap: $714.6M ex div date: 1/26/2012 yield: 9.7% ConAgra Foods, Inc. (CAG) market cap: $10.9B ex div date: 1/27/2012 yield: 3.6% DNP Select Income Fund Inc. (DNP) market cap: $2.6B ex div date: 1/27/2012 yield: 7.1% The additional ex-dividend stocks can be found at wsnn.com. (If you have been to the website before, and the latest link doesn’t show up, you may have to empty your cache.) If you like dividend stocks, you should check out the high yield utility stocks and the Monthly Dividend Stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com or WSNN.com. Dividend definitions: Declaration date: the day that the company declares that there is going to be an upcoming dividend. Ex-dividend date: the day on which if you buy the stock, you would not be entitled to that particular dividend; or the first day on which a shareholder can sell the shares and still be entitled to the dividend. Monthly Dividend Stock List Record date : the day when you must be on the company’s books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. Payment date: the day on which the dividend payment is actually made, which can be as long at two months after the ex date. Don’t forget to reconfirm the ex-dividend date with the company before implementing this technique. Disclosure: Author did not own any of the above at the time the article was written.

As for the rest of the week, each day will bring news reports relevant to the Real Estate sector. On Tuesday, the Mortgage Bankers Association will post its weekly survey on mortgage applications. On Wednesday, the National Association of Home Builders will post its confidence index. Thursday will bring the reports on housing starts and building permits from the Commerce Department. Closing the week on Friday will be the December data on existing home sales via the National Association of Realtors. Best execution mortgage interest rates to close out the last week remained relatively low. Best Execution 30 year fixed was 3.8 percent. Best execution 15 year fixed rate posted at 3.37 percent as of end of last week close. Stephen Johnson

dow2664 GQ Magazine just published an article about a girl at the University of California at Irvine, who didn’t realize that someone had hacked into her computer and activated her web cam. But she soon found out when she received a strange instant message that described her dorm room in graphic detail, then followed up with a picture of her in bed with her boyfriend. The hacker didn’t stop there, another student received a video attached to the IM. The Los Angeles office of the FBI got involved through their Cyber Program. The FBI eventually turned up numerous victims. The hacker turned out to be a wheelchair-bound 30 year old Latino named Luis Mijangos , who lived in Orange County, California, near Disneyland.
