Speaking of value, let us now return to the question of element number 79 on the periodic table. The snarky article we mentioned at the top is this one from Michael Pascoe at the age, titled “There’s more gold where that came from.”
In the article Pascoe takes on the issue of “peak gold.” But how well has he done in accurately stating the argument for gold?

The trouble with a sovereign debt crisis is that you just never know what the tipping point is going to be. Things can be travelling along nicely with apparent stability and suddenly you find yourself in the middle of a crisis. For the last month we’ve been warning about a sovereign debt crisis in the Western Welfare states.

Is it down 0.8% for the year (since January) or in the last twelve months? Or is the average super fund down 0.8% from its all-time high? The average super fund fell 21% from its heights to its lows during the GFC. But the Aussie market has rallied 55% this year.
So does this mean super has done well? Average? Above average?

What is not great is that the e-mail update was then forwarded over 1,000 times, presumably to people who are not paid-up subscribers.

Look, there’s nothing wrong with looking for the perfect solution to something, we try to do that all the time. There is one difference though. We favour getting rid of regulations, taxation and compulsion and letting free enterprise and dare we say it, the individual make their own choices.

“We expect that Australia, in the very near future, will be among the top 10 countries globally measured by the size of its gas reserves. The size of Australia’s gas reserves means that further strong growth in this country’s LNG exports is assured,” Dr. Bethune said in Energy Quest’s latest quarterly report.

Well just a day after highlighting the size and scope of the Gorgon LNG project in Western Australia, we have news that it really is a big deal. It is so big, in fact, that Martin Ferguson, the Federal Minister for Energy and Resources, said Australia is emerging as an “energy superpower.”
Shazzam!

Mind you, we don’t have any problem with lower prices. There’s a bit of snobbery about American attitudes toward Wal-Mart and other giant retailers like Costco. After all, isn’t it a good thing when a large part of the population can reduce the amount of money it spends on basic food and necessities?

That said, coal stocks stand to lose the most from cap-and-trade or emissions trading schemes that put a price on carbon dioxide. Even so, there ARE plenty of unconventional hydrocarbons out there that can provide transportation fuel or gas streams for turbines to generate electricity.

Kris Sayce has been banging on the LNG drum, meanwhile, over at the Australian Small Cap Investigator. If you’re wondering what the difference is between his energy stock coverage and ours at D&D, we’d say it’s risk. Kris has been researching and recommending LNG plays in Queensland’s budding coal-seam-gas industry.

First things first. The budget comes out tomorrow. Blah blah blah. What is really left to say? The Treasurer predicts collapsing revenues from the GFC and has cut spending in some places while increasing it in others. The annual deficit could be around $70 billion (we expect it to be lower so it’s ‘not as bad as we expected’)…

Meanwhile, what about the present? The IMF issues its World Economic Outlook twice a year. When times are good, the forecasts are too optimistic. When times are bad, the forecasts tend to be too pessimistic. And when times are really bad??

The trouble is, now is exactly the wrong time to get out of the stock market. Instead, what most investors should be doing is taking a look at their portfolio and – in the words of fund managers – rebalancing it.

But of course, it’s not in the interests of fund managers to promote such a strategy. They want to convince you that managing investments is too hard for the average punter – leave it to them, your money will be safe in their hands… No thanks.
