    The War on the sharemarket starts tonight I agree something is about to give.
    I reckon a huge battle over GOLD is about to take place. The ramifications for JPMorgan an Citibank are enormous. The end result being stockmarket carnage. I dont know about tonight but it feels like its getting closer and closer.
    Australia has a few problem Gold stocks on the home front due to their own hedging positions. The excerpt below is from James Turk (advisor to GATA). Remember Ashanti and Cambior?

    Q: What don't you like?

    A: I don't recommend any Australian stocks
    now, simply because their hedge positions are
    underwater. Newcrest Mining is one pan; its
    hedge book is negative US$440 million. But my
    top pan is Australia's Sons of Gwalia. It has
    a US$340 million unrealized loss on its hedge
    book and is relatively more hedged than
    Newcrest, and its properties aren't as good.


    Q: Are they at risk of bankruptcy?

    A: There are two points of view. Some will
    argue that they don't risk bankruptcy because
    eventually they're going to produce the gold.
    In theory, that's true, as long as there's no
    operating problems. But they may receive
    pressure from the banks because the banks
    don't want the companies to carry these huge
    unrealized loss positions in the event of a
    disruption in the production of the gold. In
    1999, when gold rallied, we saw two mining
    companies -- Ashanti and Cambior -- go
    bankrupt in everything but name. Their hedged
    positions killed them. They were selling
    aggressively on the way down and got caught
    when gold rose to more than $300 an ounce.
    Now the question is: Who will be caught at
    $350 an ounce?
