AUGUST Updates Economics, see newest Posts above

 (8.30 PM SOUTH AFRICAN TIME 1/8/2012)
Bernanke will continue operation twist,but will take no further new steps and if labour continues to decline will consider additional steps at the Sept 12/13 meeting.Very predictable ,I would say.
See latest page updates above and commetary below.
For the latest on Gold and Platinum go to New Alert above
THANKS TO ALL BLOGGERS THAT VISITED THE SIDE-BAR items.

1.Over the next couple of days both Europe and American reserve banks will decide what they might do to prevent their economies from sliding into another recession.They are likely to disappoint the market as what ever they do it will be deemed too little too late! How ever I feel the recovery continues slowly world wide.Rash actions by reserve banks to bolster economies,usually makes the private sector lazy and then they demand more and more as they do less themselves.Printing money with out backing is an eventual road to disaster.

1.I feel the reason,that the  Gold price keeps falling these days is that there is no real crises in the world.The general feeling is that all countries are over coming their monetary crises.Now the Gold price only rises when the American Dollar strengthens,which is the reverse of what would happen in areal crises when gold would form the currency of last resort.Most buyers have not enough extra cash in these straighted times to buy Gold.Unless a major war seems to be looming Gold is likely to continue drifting,this might continue for years.So Gold is basically out of favour.
2. This is not the case with Platinum as its price will be higher than Gold as soon as recovery is in full swing as besides being used in jewellery in Asia is a precious metal,is used in catalytic converters and the ever cleaner fuel cell technology.

Dramatic Happenings GLOBALLY

JUNE 2012
TIME TO STAND BACK ,TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND DO A SOBER REVEIW OF WORLD ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

WE ARE BEEN TOLD THAT IF GREECE DEFAULTS IT WOULD CAUSE AN ECONOMIC TIDAL WAVE ,GREATER THAN ANY NATURAL TIDAL WAVE THAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
YES FOR SURE THERE WILL BE REPECUSSIONS,BUT LET US NOT FORGET THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CAUSED BY POITICIANS INTERFERING IN ECONOMIC AFFAIRS YET AGAIN.
IN THE FIRST PLACE GREECE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO JOIN THE EURO MONETARY UNION AS THEY NEVER QULIFIED COMPLETELY
NOW THE AUSTERITY MEASURES IMPOSED UPON THEM ARE SO SEVERE THAT THERE IS LITTLE CHANCE THAT THEY CAN EVER RECOVER OR EXPAND WHILE IN THE EURO MONETARY UNION AGAIN. NOW THE QUESTION MUST BE ASKED IF THEY DEFAULT WILL THE INITIAL SHOCK DESTABLISE WORLD MARKETS COMPLETELY?. SURELY NOT AS THEY HAVE HAD TWO "HAIRCUTS" i.e. MINI DEFAULTS ALREADY. MARKETS ARE ALREADY DICOUNTING THIS ALMOST INEVITABLE OUTCOME BY RETRACTING WORLD-WIDE.WHEN GREECE RETURNS TO THEIR OWN ECONOMIC SYSTEM THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY DEVALUE THEIR OWN CURRENCY.WHILE THIS IN THE LONG RUN IS NOT DESIRABLE IT WILL RELEIVE THE PRESSURE UPON ITS FISCUS AND GIVE IT A PERIOD OF CALM TO STILL MAKE MARKET CHANGES AND INSTALL CONFIDENCE IN ITS CITIZENS.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHICH CAN NEVER REPAY ITS DEBT HAS BOASTED THAT IT CAN NEVER FALL INTO THE MESS THAT THE EURO NATIONS ARE IN AS IT CAN PRINT AS MUCH MONEY AS IS NEEDED TO AVOID SUCH A SITUATION!WORLD-WIDE THE PRACTICE OF PRINTING MONEY WITHOUT PROPER BACKING LEADS TO DE-FACTO DEVALUATION OF A CURRENCY. 
Now the major countries of the world are trying to keep the Euro Monetary Area intact.If they succeed it will delay the recovery  of the EURO  ZONE for a long time.France is already suffering under the weight of the monies lent to the PIGS countries.

The Stripping of South African Resource Assets Part 1

The old National government before 1994 had many ills
Its seperate development was totally unacceptable to many white South Africans as well as indigenous population.The major mining groups and major industry also opposed it.It took many years of persuasion and sanctions to bring about change which was finally a good thing.
How ever there were many good policies in place to keep the mines operating for longer periods and keep all the population employed at livable wages.
This is no longer the case.
Lets examine how this state of affairs has arisen.
1.First there was a gentlemans  agreement between the major miners and the government to not mechanise all operations except the dangerous and very heavy work areas and employ as many workers as possible.This has now changed and 860,000 jobs have been lost since 1994.Overseas first world countries are also guilty of encouraging these practices of mechanising all operations.
2.As the population becomes more frustrated at not having work and few new jos are being created the radical element is gaining support amongst the mainstream populace.Take the firebrand Malema and members of his ilk.Although he has been removed from political  influence for the time being ,opinions are obviously moving in the direction of nationalisation.
This is now bolting the mining sector.Overseas investors are not keen to invest money,in mines where it might be seized at some future time.
3.Now the government has come up with legisation which is now enforced ,which states that the land belongs to the government and mines have have lost the right to own their claims.The land they lease from the government is on a basis of "use it  or loose it!"The government's  policy is shifting on this issue and have been known to give the same land to different mining groups ,leading  to many challenges in court.This lead to many mining enterprises mining uneconomical reefs just to hold on to their claims.
4.Pre 1994 to take an example gold mines used to mine the lower paying reefs when the price was high and the richer reefs whenthe price of gold was low.ALL TYPES OF RESOURCE MINES OPERATED IN THIS WAY.NOW THE POLICY IS TO MINE THE RICHEST REEFS FIRST IN CASE SOME
NEW LEGISLATION SHOULD MAKE MINING UNPROFITABLE.
EVEN COAL MINERS ARE MINING THE BETTER QUALITY COAL SEAMS TO MAKE SOME PROFITS EIRST
5.ADDED TO THIS IS NEW MINING TAXES MAKING MINING AN ONEROUS BUSINESS.
6.ILLEGAL STRIKES by mining union for rediculous reasons might be the final straw that breaks the camels back now occuring more regularly.
Overseas governments should find it in their own interests to discourage some of these practices where they still have influence.
