Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/

 

Oil reversed early gains and ended with a slight loss on warm weather forecasts.

 

The U.S. dollar index fell and treasuries rose on speculation the fed may announce new bond purchases at the conclusion of its meeting this week.

 

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P rose on better than expected economic data out of China.

 

Among the big names making news in the market today were McDonald’s, Google, Delta, SAC, Standard Chartered, Honeywell, and AIG.

 

The Commentary:

 

When I normally lay out a chart detailing the ratio of the mining shares to the price of an ounce of gold, I use the HUI. I will still put up one of those further below but wanted to show you a ratio chart using the XAU to illustrate just how cheap these mining shares have become relative to gold itself.

 

The chart is simply staggering. I have gone back as far as my data will allow me with this and cannot find a reading so low.

I cannot overemphasize how critical it is that the CEO's of these mining companies listen to the message of the market and make the necessary changes to their organizations.

The two biggest things I can read in this message is to:

1.) Get a handle on expenses and cut them
2.) this follows on #1 - return those savings to the shareholders in the form of higher dividends.

Do this, and investors will react positively. Why? Where else can you buy so much gold at such a discounted price to the current market value? Relative to gold, some of these shares are as cheap as they have ever been, period.

Checking in with the HUI, some of the shares that comprise that index are as cheap, relative to gold itself, as they have been in ELEVEN years.- Dan Norcini, More at http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/
