Must-Have Info on Miners!

… I’m hot on the trail of my first mining share recommendations in years. But mark my words: You simply can’t run out and buy any mining share or any group of miners these days.

Some will thrive, but many of today’s mining companies are on a path to self-destruction, even as gold and silver prices get ready to soar again.

There are a lot of reasons why. Chief among them are bad management, too much debt, production costs too high, the threat of rising interest rates and, amazingly, many miners think gold and silver are back in a bear market so they are starting to hedge their production and reserves and resources by selling forward again.

Some mining stocks will thrive, but choosing which ones will be the big challenge.

Imagine that. Say you’re a mining company with a modest 3 million ounces of gold reserves, or mineable gold. When gold hit its record high at $1,920 in September 2011, that gold was worth $5.76 billion.

Today it’s worth $3.22 billion. The gold has lost $2.54 billion of market value, or 44.1%.

It’s fallen so much that the price of gold is now near your total cost of production, at say $1,000 an ounce. You have virtually no gross profit margin left.

So you’re worried gold may fall further, below the cost of production. If that happens, it will certainly put you out of business.

Your inclination then is to hedge the value of your gold, so that if gold prices fall further, you’ve locked in its current price and you’re ok, or so you think.

And instead of cutting costs, making your mine more efficient, you go ahead and hedge your gold, selling 30,000 futures contracts of 100 ounces of gold per contract against your 3 million ounces.

But then, instead of falling further, gold explodes higher. Guess what happens next?

Instead of making money on your gold production, instead of seeing your resource values go up and your profit margin go up on the ounces produced …

You’ve locked in a tiny profit margin — BUT you start to get margin calls on your 30,000 futures contracts that you sold short as a hedge. A margin call will eat into your cash, a precious asset to a miner, since it’s such a cash and capital intensive business.

“A margin call will eat into your cash, a precious asset to a miner.”

Yet the price of gold continues higher and you have to keep funding the margin calls. It doesn’t take long.

You’re now pouring so much cash into your hedges, you’re having trouble making day-to-day expenses, like payroll, rent, equipment maintenance, employee health insurance, debt payments and more.

So what do you do next? You don’t want to be exposed to the vagaries of the swings in the gold market, so you keep your hedges in place.

But you need capital, so you go borrow more from your bank, or, you talk to your investment banker and you offer more shares to the public to raise capital.

Fine, you get your capital. But if it’s debt, you now have more debt on your balance sheet, which is just going to cost you more and more as interest rates rise.

And if you opted for equity instead, the new share offering simply dilutes down the value of your existing equity and shareholders, and that has its price too.

Bottom line: You essentially turned your business into one that’s supposed to profit from a rising gold price …

… Into one that doesn’t profit at all, and instead, barely survives — but only if the price of gold is falling!

So you see, it’s not all that easy to run out and buy mining shares these days. As beaten up as they are — with many having lost more than 90% of their value — in the last four years …

Many will get beaten up even more as gold and silver move back into renewed bull markets.

Stay safe and best wishes,

Larry

Other Developments of the Day

BulletNo war: Turkey and Russia promised not to go to war over the downing of a Russian fighter jet. Still, Turkey’s NATO allies and others were wondering why, when minor violations of airspace are relatively common and usually tolerated, the Turks decided to risk a serious confrontation with Moscow by taking military action. Here’s a link to a New York Times story on the issue.

BulletAttack thwarted? French authorities say another attack could have been hours away when police closed in on the suspects’ hideaway outside of Paris last week. Suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud and another man were planning a suicide attack on the Paris financial district of La Defense on Nov. 18 or 19, the Paris prosecutor said Tuesday. Both men were killed during a raid in Saint-Denis before the attack could be carried out.

BulletMostly calm: Large but mostly peaceful protesters took to the streets overnight after the release of video that showed the fatal shooting of a black teenager by a white Chicago police officer. The protests came after the officer, Jason Van Dyke, was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Laquan McDonald, 17. The dashboard camera video shows the young man running and walking past officers in the middle of the street, then spinning and falling to the ground when bullets suddenly strike him. He moves briefly while on the ground but then is still after he appears to be shot several more times.

BulletWhoops: On-line retailer Amazon.com sent out an unknown number of emails warning customers that the passwords on their accounts may have been “improperly stored (on customer devices) or transmitted to Amazon in a way that could potentially expose it to a third party.” Customer emails were then reset by Amazon, which led affected users to a page on the site where they could change the password to one of their choice.

Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.

    Unfortunately, my observations have been that Larry is good at chasing trends. A month or two after the next up-trend in Gold and Silver occurs, we’ll receive a buy recommendation. One to two months after they go South, we’ll receive a sell recommendation. Wait and see for yourselves.

    Of the recently reported gain of 271,000 jobs, most were by people over 55, who rose some 7.5%. Workers under 55 fell by about 4.8%. Does this indicate that young people simply don’t want to work, or perhaps aren’t qualified to do so by our educational system? Also, the labor participation rate fell to about what it was in 1967, when many married women didn’t work outside the home. Average workers spending power fell to about what it was in 1975. Tell me we aren’t in a severe recession, or maybe even a Depression of some sort.

    An interesting item: the New York City Mafia – under Gambino – says they will protect the city from ISIS. They have “human intelligence” assets greater than the Feds, after all. He points out that ISIS fears the Mafia, and hasn’t been able to set up any cells in Sicily. Who knows, maybe he has something. It’s a question of which Mob you want to trust, Washington or Palermo.

    You are correct, Craig, and what I was saying to Larry, above, is that he is free to recommend a trade, but he needs to give us reasons to believe it is a good one. Of course, we are free to try and dig out the information ourselves, if we choose. He may have info we can’t easily find, though, and it would be good if he would share it. Otherwise his letter is of minimal help, and we may choose to abandon it.

        Don’t count gold out. It was, after all, the traditional store of value for several thousand years, and if our fiat buck collapses, gold could return to it’s traditional role almost instantly. A billion paper bucks for a loaf of bread is possible (the equivalent happened in Weimar Germany). Think how many trillions an ounce of gold could be worth. And it could happen much quicker than you think. Those Germans who had jobs demanded to be paid several times a day so they could spend their Marks before they lost more value. Zimbabwe had to print $Trillion bills.

            GOLD IS NOT AN INVESTMENT

            Gold is not a real “investment”, per se. It is only a fall-back or back-up to disaster or the aftermath of another Black Swan, yet to come. Gold (GLD) can be a good (permanent) hedge for your bond portfolio, as well. Its independent or not correlated with conventional investments at critical times.

            I would not try to outsmart the precious metals markets and would not suggest trading gold or silver. Leave that to the futures wizards and Hedge fund managers.

          • Chuck Burton November 26, 2015

            Right you are, $1000. I hope none of us ever needs it. But, unlike what could possibly happen to your C-note, it is never likely to become completely worthless. someone is always likely to be willing to trade something for gold – something that could keep you alive when you need it.

        • Craig Bradley November 26, 2015

          Agreed. Particularly beware of Black Swans coming in the night to steal your peace and your soul. Remember the eternal fact: Your Life does not consist of your possessions. America has become to inward looking and selfish. We are a greedy and materialistic (consumer-based) country. A hard lesson in which all are reduced to a lower level or standard of living would be a hidden blessing. Then we might actually learn the basics all over again and retool our economy for productivity instead of debt, financial engineering, and consumption.

          The Status Quo can not last indefinitely. Something has to change sooner or later. Beware of Black Swan Events that change whole paradigms ( the Status Quo).

    FREE RECOMMENDATION FROM CRAIG

    Yes, a Gold Royalty + Streaming Company such as Franco-Nevada ( FNV) is a value and pays a nice dividend, as well. FNV uses cheap credit ( cheap dollars) to lock-in future production from existing gold mines. When the price of gold eventually goes up as the cycle turns, their revenue from these contracts should pay-off handsomely. Even better, they get paid in gold, not debased paper money. Can’t beat that.

    I would suggest you start a small position now and add to it later on if the price happens to go down early next year. Just Keep an eye on it every day for trends you can see for yourself. Just remember, it pays to be a patient investor. Observe and Report !!

    Beware though, as this is a volatile stock with thin daily trading volume where daily moves of plus or minus 3.5 %-4.0% are fairly common in my observation. In addition, the stock exchanges are phasing out the use of Stop Loss orders and Good ’til cancelled orders beginning in Feb. 2016.

    The professional traders don’t want you to have a level playing field. Gold pricing in the paper market ( COMEX) is known to be manipulated by the “bullion banks” ( U.S. member banks of the Federal Reserve Bank). I think independently and invest on my own, so I can not give any credit or acknowledgement to any publications from this site. Sorry about that, guys. Don’t complain miss this slam-dunk. Some win, some lose. That’s life in the city boys and girls.

      i have a gold dealer near me that buys for spot price on bullion and coins. sells at spot price on bullion. one ounce coins have a slight premium. smaller coins have a larger premium. these premiums are reasonable and have always been fixed. if bullion drops to $800/ounce, he’ll sell it for $800/ounce. he been in business for decades.

    GOLD PRICING ADJUSTS QUICKLY TO SUPPLY/DEMAND

    Available supplies of gold products for retail buyers of gold and silver coins will tighten-up considerably once the spot price ( on paper) declines to $1,000/ounce or below. Primary Dealers will quickly impose much higher premiums on purchases to protect their supplies so they don’t sell out of gold products quite as quickly.

    Therefore, the price of gold eagles will effectively be “frozen” around $1,000/ounce for retail buyers of coins and such. So, you may as well by now or never at current prices. Waiting for a steal is no deal because you will pay the same after premiums are added onto your purchase price.

    The price of paper versions of gold or silver such as the COMEX, GLD or SLV bare little resemblance to the pricing and market dynamics of the physical gold market, where supplies are already pretty tight globally. Many investors here have not figured out this fundamental difference between paper gold and real gold in your hot little hands. One is real, the other exclusionary (false).

      thanks for the explanation, craig. i’ve heard this many times before, but i’ve never heard this explained so well. time will tell if this theory is true. personally, i think the gold bull is over and physical gold will remain at about $1,000/ounce for decades to come, with some crazy volatility beforehand. ten years from now gold will be $800/ounce and you’ll be able to buy all you want.

          Exxon should survive okay, and probably Chevron. Shell could be doubtful. They went heavily in debt to buy BG, I think it was, while their earnings fell, and now have to borrow more just to pay their dividends, so they don’t scare investors even more. They can only keep that up for so long. They could be on the breakup block before it is all over.

At this point it certainly is not something to bank on, it’s just a kicker. They do own some of the best copper and gold deposits in the world. If the commodity bust continues they will still probably survive making them a real winner in the long run.

      The problem is that Larry goes back and forth between short term drop-dead dates, and intermediate to long term prognostications. He was recruiting madly for his cycles service, with specific warnings that the market would crash on Oct. 12 or so. Since that hasn’t happened, he is saying that his cycles research will roughly correspond to the market behavior, but exact dates (i.e., within a month or so) are out. So now everything he predicted is being pushed out to 2016. He also says gold will soar to $5000 in the not too distant future, but who knows when that might be. So trying to rely on Larry for options investments in a limited time frame is, in my opinion, a fool’s mission. Sure, he cites investments that could have yielded 10 times your money (1000%), but I’ll tell you that an easy call option investment in Amazon at the beginning of this year would have yielded 200 times your money (20,000%) by now. Hindsight is wonderfully easy; foresight, not so much.

        THE OBAMA GENERATION

        “You pays your money and you takes your chances”. No guarantees in life or investing. Hard lesson for some to learn. Potentially costly too. Instead, dare to be independently minded for a real change, if you can. Few are these days, I can see. Too bad for them. They need Nanny, they need the NANNY State. They need Hillary Clinton to “take care of them”. ( My IRA, ObamaCare, EBT, etc.).

    I would like more long term option reco’s. Like the ones on GLD. Or possibly leaps. Also a list of miners, as I would to invest in more than you probably will reco. What about JNUG? I know you said some of the miner etf’s might not be good.

      The problem is that Larry goes back and forth between short term drop-dead dates, and intermediate to long term prognostications. He was recruiting madly for his cycles service, with specific warnings that the market would crash on Oct. 12 or so. Since that hasn’t happened, he is saying that his cycles research will roughly correspond to the market behavior, but exact dates (i.e., within a month or so) are out. So now everything he predicted is being pushed out to 2016. He also says gold will soar to $5000 in the not too distant future, but who knows when that might be. So trying to rely on Larry for options investments in a limited time frame is, in my opinion, a fool’s mission. Sure, he cites investments that could have yielded 10 times your money (1000%), but I’ll tell you that an easy call option investment in Amazon at the beginning of this year would have yielded 200 times your money (20,000%) by now. Hindsight is wonderfully easy; foresight, not so much.

      FREE RECOMMENDATION FROM CRAIG

      Yes, a Gold Royalty + Streaming Company such as Franco-Nevada ( FNV) is a value and pays a nice dividend, as well. FNV uses cheap credit ( cheap dollars) to lock-in future production from existing gold mines. When the price of gold eventually goes up as the cycle turns, their revenue from these contracts should pay-off handsomely. Even better, they get paid in gold, not debased paper money. Can’t beat that.

      I would suggest you start a small position now and add to it later on if the price happens to go down early next year. Just Keep an eye on it every day for trends you can see for yourself. Just remember, it pays to be a patient investor. Observe and Report !!

      Beware though, as this is a volatile stock with thin daily trading volume where daily moves of plus or minus 3.5 %-4.0% are fairly common in my observation. In addition, the stock exchanges are phasing out the use of Stop Loss orders and Good ’til cancelled orders beginning in Feb. 2016.

      The professional traders don’t want you to have a level playing field. Gold pricing in the paper market ( COMEX) is known to be manipulated by the “bullion banks” ( U.S. member banks of the Federal Reserve Bank). I think independently and invest on my own, so I can not give any credit or acknowledgement to any publications from this site. Sorry about that, guys. Don’t complain miss this slam-dunk. Some win, some lose. That’s life in the city boys and girls.

        i have a gold dealer near me that buys for spot price on bullion and coins. sells at spot price on bullion. one ounce coins have a slight premium. smaller coins have a larger premium. these premiums are reasonable and have always been fixed. if bullion drops to $800/ounce, he’ll sell it for $800/ounce. he been in business for decades.

          What is his business e-mail address? Since he is a primary precious metals dealer ( the public can not buy directly from the U.S. Mint for “spot price” as they only sell to wholesalers).

          What is the name of your “friend’s” business so I may place an order. No premium means he is selling at cost. Maybe its a “home business” where profits are not near as important as “being busy”. Just a thought.

    Gold needs to return to its former purpose as a measure of value. It really is not a commodity. It is thought that the value of the currency of any country is based on its economic strength but none of that gets off-set by the indebtedness of those countries. As more paper currency in any country is printed to cover budget shortfalls, the price of gold should react accordingly. It doesn’t have to represent the basis for a monetary system, it merely needs to reflect value in terms of purchasing power. The more of anything you have, the less it is worth. There has been nothing else invented to represent a means to that end and this has been true for the last 5000 years.

      GOOD AS IT GETS FOR GOLD BUYERS ?

      $1,000/ounce Gold is not yet a reality. I doubt you can buy any gold coins from a dealer at that price and take delivery, should it become a reality. Premiums will be added on to each coin boosting the price back to what it currently is, about $1100.0/ounce.

      The retail price for physical gold will likely freeze around $1,000/ounce. So, it won’t matter if the paper price of gold goes substantially lower, even to $800.00, as some forecasters or analysts maintain. The demand for physical bullion and coins is very strong globally under current supplies and would tighten considerably at lower paper prices ( spot price). In addition, shortages would likely develop in that event.

          GOLD PRICING ADJUSTS QUICKLY TO SUPPLY/DEMAND

          Available supplies of gold products for retail buyers of gold and silver coins will tighten-up considerably once the spot price ( on paper) declines to $1,000/ounce or below. Primary Dealers will quickly impose much higher premiums on purchases to protect their supplies so they don’t sell out of gold products quite as quickly.

          Therefore, the price of gold eagles will effectively be “frozen” around $1,000/ounce for retail buyers of coins and such. So, you may as well by now or never at current prices. Waiting for a steal is no deal because you will pay the same after premiums are added onto your purchase price.

          The price of paper versions of gold or silver such as the COMEX, GLD or SLV bare little resemblance to the pricing and market dynamics of the physical gold market, where supplies are already pretty tight globally. Many investors here have not figured out this fundamental difference between paper gold and real gold in your hot little hands. One is real, the other exclusionary (false).

    WAR OR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ?

    I suspect the Turkish camera crew that captured the recent shooting down of a Russian fighter plane had been given a heads-up beforehand. They just happened to be situated and had their cameras in place and rolling exactly when the action started. Set-up or coincidence? Furthermore, the timing is very suspect, as well.

    The Turkish government is having corruption problems, economic problems, and faces the very real prospect of a debt default in the near future. So, a War between NATO with Russia is an easy way to hide or distract from deeper, more serious problems inside Turkey. War sure would be the easy way out for their politicians. Historically, its a tried and true technique used by desperate governments the world over.

    To get the whole story, you have to look beyond the headlines and beyond the obvious. Most publications (and readers) are too stupid or intellectually lazy to do so, or want to manipulate their readers to see it their way ( support a NATO War against Putin and Russia). That would be a costly mistake for NATO, Europe, and especially, the United States. It could happen sooner or later.

    What would be the effect on U.S. Markets if we LOST a war, or were seen as taking heavy casualties and retreated? The public might not support it for long, if they do at all. Then our dollar would tank as global confidence in America dissolved. Everything could come to a head and rapidly unravel for US. This scenario remains a distinct possibility in our future, just waiting for America to take the bait. All we need is one more incompetent President to make our day. So, vote wisely, while you still can.

    I know you do not agree with Harry Dent but I was wondering what your reaction would be to his latest letter where he predicts Gold at $250. I include a paragraph from this letter.

    “In short, inflation is not the threat. Deflation is. With the largest, global financial asset and debt bubble in recorded history, when this goes belly up, trillions of dollars are going to disappear overnight, like magic… now you see it, now you don’t! That’s not only going to strengthen the dollar, it’s going to create a massive wave of deflation and the destruction of gold.”

      PRICE DIVERSION IN PAPER vs. PHYSICAL GOLD MARKETS

      My view is gold could decline further in the short term, possibly to $1,000/ ounce. If it does, I will pounce. It won’t matter to investors if gold goes below $1,000/ounce or the “all-in” cost for a operating gold mine. After that, gold and silver coins dealers will just bump-up the premiums added to the spot price of gold coins to protect their supply as retail demand skyrockets.

      This is exactly what happened last Fall to silver after the price dropped unexpectedly to $14.00/ounce from $18.00/ounce as the U.S. Dollar strengthened. In fact, the U.S. Mint has run out of 1 oz. Silver Eagles on several occasions in the face of much higher retail and dealer demand accompanied by very tight supplies of silver. Physical Gold pricing is expected to respond similarly if the spot price takes a rapid dive.

      It really does not matter what the price of gold or silver is in the paper markets ( COMEX or GLD or SLV). Paper and physical precious metals markets are entirely different ( different supply-demand dynamics). For one thing, demand for physical gold or silver delivery remains very strong globally. Supplies of the real thing are tight, as vs. unlimited in the paper gold and silver markets. Most investors don’t get this. Is a glaring price diversion at times. ( Red Flag).

      This is exactly what happened last Fall to silver after the price dropped unexpectedly to $14.00/ounce from $18.00/ounce as the U.S. Dollar strengthened. In fact, the U.S. Mint has run out of 1 oz. Silver Eagles on several occasions in the face of much higher retail and dealer demand accompanied by very tight supplies of silver. Physical Gold pricing is expected to respond similarly if the spot price takes a rapid dive.

      It really does not matter what the price of gold or silver is in the paper markets ( COMEX or GLD or SLV). Paper and physical precious metals markets are entirely different ( different supply-demand dynamics). For one thing, demand for physical gold or silver delivery remains very strong globally. Supplies of the real thing are tight, as vs. unlimited in the paper gold and silver markets. Most investors don’t get this. Is a glaring price diversion at times. ( Red Flag).

    I know you do not agree with Harry Dent but I was wondering what your reaction would be to his latest letter where he predicts Gold at $250. I include a paragraph from this letter.

    “In short, inflation is not the threat. Deflation is. With the largest, global financial asset and debt bubble in recorded history, when this goes belly up, trillions of dollars are going to disappear overnight, like magic… now you see it, now you don’t! That’s not only going to strengthen the dollar, it’s going to create a massive wave of deflation and the destruction of gold.”

      PRICE DIVERSION IN PAPER vs. PHYSICAL GOLD MARKETS

      My view is gold could decline further in the short term, possibly to $1,000/ ounce. If it does, I will pounce. It won’t matter to investors if gold goes below $1,000/ounce or the “all-in” cost for a operating gold mine. After that, gold and silver coins dealers will just bump-up the premiums added to the spot price of gold coins to protect their supply as retail demand skyrockets.

    Some years back there was a list of gold miners that did not sell derivatives against their future Gold or Silver production.
    Where can we obtain such a list today??

    THANK YOU

    Getting back to Mike L’s, thread, it is not just a matter of so much low grade debt, overhanging the markets. I read, elsewhere, that in the third quarter, with 96% of companies reporting, profits of the S&P 500 companies have declined by some $25 Billion. Also, while personal income rose by .4%, in Oct., personal spending only rose .1%. People are maybe battening the hatches, and looking for a bit of a blow. If holiday spending disappoints, the storm may be on our doorsteps.

    Thank you for the article on the Miners Delema with regards to trading and buying stock. Very informative. I was not aware there was so much
    “Cause and Effect” involved, that’s an ignorance on my part hence I read your articles helping to make more sense of this interesting world of the Commodities…

    Larry, if you have an idea of what miners might fit the requirements for good investments (other than the two mentioned in the recent RWR) please let RWR subscriber know, so that we can make decisions for ourselves. I need to study the companies for myself, not just blindly follow your “instructions”. You aren’t giving your subscribers credit for being intelligent investors. I, for one, have nearly cancelled RWR a couple of times for this reason. ‘Sorry to be so publicly critical, but you need to know what some of us think. Otherwise, I wish you, and everyone, a Happy Thanksgiving

      CHUCK: START “SINGING LIKE A CANARY” HERE

      Please divulge the two gold mining companies recommended in Larry’s subscription newsletter (RWR) to us through the comment section here. You are not obliged to honor confidentiality if you don’t want to. The most that could be done about it is to cancel your subscription (for you). Sounds like that is about to happen one way or the other anyway.

      So, by “spilling the beans” on this blog, you may get Larry’s undivided attention and prod him to give subscribers more background or rationale on his investment recommendations. As a subscriber, you are entitled to “customer service”. If you don’t get it, then “sing like a canary”. Unlike the Mafia, Nobody can hit you for it. So, you have little to lose over it.
