The fact that gold producers are paying a dividend on gold stocks is worth exploring. First, it means gold producers have cash flow. Now whether or not the best use of free cash flow is to return it to shareholders instead of pouring it into new exploration is for the punters to decide. But the fact is, gold is set to finish higher for the 11th straight year.

Yesterday in our article about gold’s price going down we discussed gold and the shadow banking system. Today we’ll explain how it all fits together and what it means for the markets and your investments.

Hey…what’s going on with gold? The dollar up, gold down. When we checked yesterday the price was crashing through the $1,550 level.

‘But…but…I thought gold was a safe haven…’
If you’re having thoughts like that after gold’s horror $115 slide over the last 30 days… relax. Gold is, was and always will be a safe haven.

In yesterday’s article on Europe’s fiscal integration we managed to ruffle a few feathers of those (presumably from) the English island. We’ve taken the liberty of reprinting some of their comments. First let’s start with a nice (warm) beer… then let’s talk money.

Basic economics of scarcity, supply and demand, and investment demand won’t be less important in supporting commodities. But in a world of collapsing financial asset values, tangible assets are about to become the hotly contested objects of a great global strategic game.

The credit cycle has turned. The world is in a deleveraging phase. But central banks are still trying to reverse the process and provide more credit to households and businesses? They really only have one play in the playbook.

What’s the latest news on wealth creation?
No one knows exactly how it will work out. Some are betting on a recovery and a new bull market. Others have put their money in gold or cash to preserve their wealth…expecting more crises and more calamities.

With the whole world economy in a bit of a funk you wouldn’t expect oil to be over $100 and gold to be over $1,700. Or would you?

Green and Gold Greed…
The last thing Australia needs right now is to worry that China’s manufacturing economy is sputtering. After all, that Chinese engine of growth consumes huge amounts of Australian resources, like coal and iron ore. The government is keen to siphon off revenue from mineral and energy exports in order to do what it does: take from one party in order to give to another, while sounding self-righteous and looking important.

April seems like such a long time ago. What were investors thinking then? As you can see from the chart below, April was the last time the ASX/200 traded near the 5,000 level. The index is nowhere near the 2008 high (as you can see). But maybe it’s getting ready to make a run to 5,000 by the end of the year.

The supply of gold is falling steadily. As with any other commodity the price of gold ultimately depends on just two things: The supply of gold, and the demand for gold. Before we get to the exciting part of the story, it is important to look at the supply of gold.
