Has Jim Rickards gone potty in his forecast for the gold price at US$27,533? If this happens some miners will see their profit margins rise from US$700 an ounce to over US$24,000 an ounce. Shares at around $2 could hit $65.

Investing guru James Rickards says gold will hit $27,533 an ounce — and it's 'not a guess.' Here's his argument
His math isn’t as complicated as you'd think.

Haven't watched it yet but it might not do us any good if it does happen. The more so if a Labor government is in power. Still remember how Rudd and Swan came out swinging at a press conference declaring, "The Australian people want their fair share" via a resources super profits tax.

Yesterday's heroes. Peter Costello's sum benefit to the Australian nation would have to be a huge negative taking into consideration this act in 1997. I hope it haunts him, his net worth to Australia is literally negative. He had some advisory help though in Treasury and the RBA . I guess it made him look good in the short term as he delivered his budget. Thoroughly modern. Fkg intellectuals can get it so wrong.
In November 1997 the then Treasurer, Peter Costello, shocked some people when he announced he'd signed off on the sale of $2 billion worth of Australian bullion. On the day he announced the sale the price was around $US306.00 an ounce. At the time, according to Mr Costello, gold "no longer plays a significant role in the international financial system".
Three days after the bullion was sold Australian gold shares slumped 16 per cent. With gold languishing there were more than a few people within government and the Reserve Bank congratulating themselves on such a prescient sell off.
But no-one else seemed to be selling, certainly not the US, and Robert Champion de Crespigny at the time expressed concern about Australia's ambitious move. The then executive chairman of Normandy Mining, Australia's largest gold mining group said:
"I think the Reserve bank has handled this extremely clumsily". Gold, he said, had a future if you took a long term view.
So here it was 1997 and Australia had sold two thirds of its gold assets in a single day, and sold into a buyer's market.
While the sale helped pay down debts, the deal was to cost Australia billions of dollars in the long run. But at the time people were lining up to congratulate the Treasurer.
Bill Shields who was with the Reserve Bank and who went on to become Macquarie Bank's chief economist seemed to echo the Federal Treasurer's words. He said he thought the gold price would remain under pressure and depending on how supply responded it could fall lower.
Gold, he said "no longer has a role in the monetary system and with low inflation it is an unattractive investment relative to interest bearing securities and equities".
While that sentiment was certainly shared in the plush offices of bankers in Australia, it wasn't on the minds of China's money men.
Two years after Australia's Government sold off two thirds of the nation's bullion, China made a startling admission. Over six years it had quietly bought 454 tonnes of gold (presumably some of it was Australia's)."

Worth its weight in gold
It wasn't that long ago gold was on the nose, especially in Australia, but now, everyone wants it.

Really? I must check that out. I thought he reduced the debt. Anyway Telstra wasn't worth all that gold. I don't care if he built cancer wards for children with it.

Well it didn't go to reducing debt but nothing about Telstra either? The RBA got to keep the proceeds which were invested in sovereign bonds.

‘Big Short’ investor Michael Burry made a multimillion-dollar bet on gold and dumped tech giants Alphabet and Amazon — here's how to add the precious metal to your portfolio
July 16, 2024,According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Burry’s company Scion Asset Management has made quite a few adjustments to its portfolio in Q1 of 2024.
Among Burry’s notable moves were selling his stakes in Amazon and Alphabet and increasing his holdings of Chinese companies JD.com and Alibaba.
Burry also made a substantial bet on gold by purchasing 440,729 shares of Sprott Physical Gold Trust, valued at $7.6 million at the end of Q1, making it the fifth-largest position in his portfolio. The closed-end fund's official website says it holds “substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion.”
Sprott Physical Gold Trust: https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/PHYS
Sprott Physical Gold Trust (the Trust) is a closed-end mutual fund trust. The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold bullion.
The Trust's investment objective is to provide exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical gold bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion.
The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical gold bullion and does not speculate with regard to short-term changes in gold prices.
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of redeemable, transferrable trust units (the Units). Sprott Asset Management LP is the manager of the Trust.Less

"Mark Spitznagel, a bearish investor, predicts stocks may soon lose over half their value in a sell-off.
He says a recession could happen by the end of the year, fueled by the US Government's $34 trillion debt."

Spitznagel is quite in the news and financial commentary atm. His modus operandi is to take many, many small bearish losses waiting for the one options mis-pricing in a bull market and a big bear bet. Well worth a duckduckgo.
He is bearish always. And as he has proven he only needs to be right once every 5-10 years or less.

well the market has been ripe for a full-blooded downturn ( not a retrace with 100 discrete bail-outs that we got in 2020/2021) since the second half of 2019
so a 'black swan' ( eventually ) is obvious , however which black swan will it be the global economy is looking like a lake in Western Australia ( where black swans are not that rare )
guessing the correct black swan could be a BIG winner , it could be a bigger sanctions/tariff war , commercial real estate , another Japan crisis , just a general cascade of distressed banks , a HUGE war , , etc etc etc
i think the opportunists among us are going to be really busy looking for hints on which way the chips will fall

once a decade with the right amount of profits ( to cancel all the wrong bets ) is all you need
that used to work on the race-tracks as well one in eight winners but the odds often better than 15/1 ( as long as you understand the strategy you are playing )

Happy to hold gold, bought and will be eventually sold in AUD.
