I thought it be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to the gold price and general gold trading/investing.

If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.

Gold spiking like it's nobodies business over the past 30 minutes.

 

Somebody clearly knows something I don't, as per usual :(

 

Read somewhere that Brits have increased their spent on gold investing and physical buying the past month, just in case Brexit becomes real.

As a pirate I own some real gold, Keep it ssushhh.

 

As for me buckos, you can either buy the mines that make the treaaye or you can buy a ETN that tracks it example http://etfcib.absa.co.za/products/exchange%20traded%20funds/commodities/newgold/Pages/default.aspx the NewGold Exchange Traded Fund

 

Alternatively you can start collecting Krugerrands, which you can purchase through companies like the South Africa Gold Coin Exchange (www.sagoldcoin.com).

 

You can buy smaller Krugerrands such as a 1/10 ounce coin, which would cost about R2400 now depending on the gold price at the time. ( http://www.scoinshop.com/en/shop/1-10oz-krugerrand/ )

 

That same coin was R900 in 2010 when I bought it.

If you aren’t thinking about owning a stock for 10 years, don’t even think about owning it for 10 minutes.

I've traded in them all, including PAN, ANG and DRD

 

Mostly used HAR and SGL in the past, but have since moved onto DRD as I feel they have greater potential currently, especially with their March 2016 Q due today.

 

Btw it's GFI , not CFI

Very interesting!!

 

Would it be a bad idea to split a "lump sum" between HAR, SGL and DRD?

 

But then I get the feel with gold business you need to watch stuff so closely and probably don't hold onto it for more than a week?

 

If you prepared to gamble, then yes, buy now and sell when you feel it's time to get out.

 

Some say Wednesday would be a good time to sell as that is when the FED will meet, but I'm leaning more towards perhaps Friday, or even Monday, but that all depends on how the market reacts on the Fed decision and more importantly what that decision is going to be.

 

We all hoping for another hold on rates, otherwise gold will tumble sharply and rapidly.

 

Splitting between them is also fine.

For what it is worth:

 

 

Die goudprys in dollar was vanoggend $1 276. Die moontlikheid van 'n terugtrekking in die goudprys tot ongeveer $1 080 wat ons ontledings voorheen getoon het, is moontlik besig om te vervaag. Die goudprys kan dus moontlik oor die volgende paar maande aanhou om te styg tot ongeveer $1 400.

 

Vanoggend was die goudprys in rand R19 260. Indien die rand in die volgende paar weke moontlik tot ongeveer R14 vir een dollar sou versterk, kan die goudprys in rand ietwat daal. Oor die langtermyn kan die goudprys in rand egter heelwat styg.

Investors looking to profit from the Brexit referendum – no matter the outcome – should bet on a jump in gold volatility, according to a note from Societe Generale who say the metal will surge in the event of a vote to leave and fall if the result is for the status quo. The precious metal was trading at $1265.71 an ounce at 6:30am ET, down more than $30 in the last three sessions. It is certainly not just gold that will move, as markets in London are bracing for what could be a wild ride in everything from foreign exchange to stocks following the referendum result.

[...The project will add about 100 000 ounces of gold to Sibanye’s production, or 6.3% of its total forecast for 2016 at a cost of about $476 an ounce, compared with the company’s $908 cost of mining in the first half of this year. Gold currently trades at about $1 316 an ounce.

 

“Once it’s up and running, it’s a money-printing machine,” said Rene Hochreiter, a Johannesburg-based analyst at Noah Capital Markets. “But the big problem is the up-front capital costs. Ten billion rand sounds expensive.”

 

Sibanye plans to recover the project’s capital costs by focusing on four high-grade dumps for the first 18 years, which would generate an internal rate of return of about 15% annually, according to Stuart. After that, the project would generate “annuity income” for as long as 35 years as the company works through its remaining dumps...]
