Eldora Gold Resources News-Gold's Insurance Cost Index Explained

Eldora Gold Resources News-By Brad Zigler. We've expounded on the option market insurance model in this column before. In their most basic utility, options offer investors protection from catastrophic changes in asset values, just like homeowners, automobile and — gulp! — life insurance contracts.

And just like other insurance markets, option prices are determined in part by the issuers' perception of risk. When the odds of a payout increase — because of increased fire hazards, a poor driving record, disease or wobbly asset values — the cost of protection rises.

For years now, professional traders have gauged risk in the investment market by metering the volatility assumptions embedded in option prices. The Volatility Index (VIX) measures the expected variance in the stock market over the ensuing 30 days by extracting the implied volatility of near-term options on the SPDR Depository Receipts (SPY).

Eldora Gold Resources News-More recently, the VIX concept has been translated to the oil and gold market. The CBOE Gold Volatility Index (GVZ) has been tracking risk expectations in the gold market by distilling the "IV" ("implied volatility") SPDR Gold Shares Trust (GLD) options for the past couple of years.

Presently, GVZ pegs the annualized volatility of the gold market at 20 percent. Is that high or low? Well, it's certainly higher than it was. Last month, anyway. Back in September, when gold was reaching new nominal highs, GLD volatility dipped as low as 16.7 percent.

The implication? Back then, option traders were pricing contracts with the expectation that gold prices proxied by GLD would likely vary — up or down — 1.4 percent (16.7 percent divided by 12 months) over a 30-day period.

When GVZ — aka volatility — is high, writing (selling) naked options and credit spreads are more likely to make money. When GVZ is low, debit spreads and naked option purchases are favored.

Relatively speaking, buying GLD options would have been the play in mid-September. If you were exceptionally prescient, you would have bought calls for a month-long, $130-an-ounce ride up Bullion Mountain.

GVZ peaked at 22.6 percent — along with gold prices — on Oct. 14. GVZ then signaled a heightened risk of change in gold's price trend. Now GVZ's falling along with gold prices, indicating a certain market complacency with the trend.

The Gold Insurance Cost Index measures the risk of price trend changes as well and, as you can see from the chart below, pretty much tracks alongside GVZ. The insurance index is derived by comparing GLD option premiums to SPY contract costs. Each day, puts with at least eight weeks ‘til expiration and each 10 percent out of the money are ratioed: the GLD put premium in the numerator and the SPY premium down below. The daily change in the resulting percentage is then indexed to a base level. In the chart below, the starting date is arbitrarily set as July 23.

Eldora Gold Resources News - The essential difference between the two metrics is volatility itself. The insurance index is more sensitive and generally renders its peak and trough signals a day or two sooner than GVZ. Time can be a great advantage to a trader — or a hedging investor — giving insurance index followers a bit of a jump on GVZ watchers.

Of course, tracking GVZ is easy. No calculation is required. Its value can be pulled up in real time along with any other market quote.

Which indicator you choose to follow is purely a matter of personal preference. Disclosure: No position

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Uncertainty grips expectant gold-mining communities in Venezuela. Continuing a report on the situation of gold-mining in Bolivar State and in particular on the Las Cristinas mine in Sifontes municipality, Correo del Caroni reporter, Natalie Garcia maintains that the end of the Crystallex concession has reopened the debate on the Venezuelan State's gold-mining policies, which could be said to have failed, given current labor instability and cordons of misery south of Bolivar State.
Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - VHeadline News Editor Patrick J. O'Donoghue reports: Several decades ago, the Las Cristinas was held up as the salvation of thousands of local inhabitants, who were scratching a living off illegal and wild cat mining. Las Cristinas, Garcia pointed out, has not been formally exploited for more than 20 years, even though it has around 31 million ounces of gold and proven reserves.
There is also the Brisas del Cuyuni mine formerly in the hands of Gold Reserve, which is suing the government for compensation.

The journalist (pictured right) ventures that Las Cristinas' future looms uncertain because details have not been released about the next steps to be taken.

A proposal was launched in 2008 at a meeting of the Basic Industries & Mining (Mibam) Ministry to set up an "ALBA Gold Mining District," consisting of three blocks to be distributed among small-to-medium socialist mining companies belonging to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA).

Update on Venezuela Gold Mining: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Within the strategy, there was a social plan to invest part of the money coming from gold production, creating a warehouse center, a gold refinery and mint, and a goldsmith network under the control of mining cooperatives. Part of the plan included building a copper recovery plant because of the association between copper and gold.

Garcia raises the possibility of a 50/50 joint venture between the State and VenRus, the Russian company, currently holding the La Isidora and La Camorra concessions.

Whatever the outcome, Garcia concludes, local communities are calling for the immediate activation of mining projects and their inclusion when it comes to distributing the profits.

The main call as ever is for new job opportunities and an improvement in the local communities' standard of living. Patrick J. O'Donoghue news.editor@vheadline.com

Eldora Gold News-Investing in Silver: Is This Precious Metal Set to Beat Out Gold?

By Tony D'Altorio. Silver has served as a measure of value and currency for over 4,000 years. As early as around 600 B.C., citizens of Lydia used it for coins. But while hardly new, it’s still giving investors something to talk about these days.
Eldora Gold Resources News - In the past month, silver has hit prices it hasn’t seen since the Hunt brothers tried to corner that market over three decades ago. Their attempts drove the commodity to nearly $50 an ounce in 1980. Today, just like back then, many individual investors are buying up what some call “poor man’s gold.”
Eldora Gold Resources News - Gold may be capturing headlines and new record highs. But silver is shining too… enough to make many wonder whether its forward returns might just beat out gold’s.
Silver bugs like many of the same arguments that gold bugs do: The Federal Reserve’s upcoming QE2, a second round of emergency monetary easing, will lead to much higher inflation in the future. Many central banks may very well devalue their currencies to further domestic growth, thereby sparking a global “currency war.” (Incidentally, the Federal Reserve is heading that charge as well, with its massive money creation.)
In reaction, silver coin sales are hitting record highs this year.
Eldora Gold Resources News - The US Mint sold 27.5 million in silver American Eagles so far in 2010, well within reach of last year’s record 28.8 million ounces… with the holiday season still ahead. And the Royal Canadian Mint has already sold over 30% more of its silver Maple Lead coins than last year’s record 10 million ounces.
Plus, investors have snapped up more than 1,500 tons of silver through ETFs in the past two months alone. That’s more than 5% of total annual silver supplies. It has become one of the best-performing commodities this year. Over August and September, it rallied 31%… more than three times gold’s rise.
Global Silver Demand Ramps Up Silver investors are betting on how silver consumption still relies heavily on jewelry demand and demand from certain industries. So that should mean as the global economy recovers, so will silver.
Already, there has been a strong rebound in industrial demand for the resource in traditional areas like electronics. And add to that the solar power industry’s new need for silver compounds to convert sunlight into electricity.
CEO Scott Morrison of Metalor, one of the world’s top precious metals refiners, says:
Industrial demand for silver is very strong – back to 2008 levels or even better.
Still, investors will likely remain the main force behind silver prices for now. Also, the addition of hedge funds to the mix may lead to sizable, short-term volatility. Because the silver market is a so much smaller than gold’s, large investments can make bigger impacts on prices.

Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News

Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Ensurge Announces Progress on Engineering Scoping Study of Brazilian Gold Mine
Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Ensurge, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ESGI.OB) is pleased that the Engineering Scoping Study of the Nova Esparanza Mineraco (NME) project is underway. Jordan Estra, President & Chief Executive Officer of Ensurge, Inc. reported on the project following a visit to Brazil during mid October.
A team of geologists and drillers is currently at the NME Tuiuiu Mine, about 100 kilometers southwest of the State Capital of Cuiaba. Drilling and sampling of the tailings stockpiles has been underway for about two weeks. It is estimated that an additional four weeks will be required to complete the drilling and sampling program.
Crews are auger drilling the tailings stockpiles on 40 meter centers to a depth which is the base of the tailings, approximately 25 meters. Samples are taken every one meter of depth in each drill hole. The drilling and sampling program was designed and is being supervised by Amazon GeoServices of Belo Horizonte, Minera Gias, Brazil.
It is estimated that approximately 1,500 samples will be taken from the tailings stockpiles and theses will be assayed by Bureau Veritas of Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. In addition, metallurgical testwork and gold recovery process development will be completed by G&T Group of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada and MQes, Inc. of San Francisco, California, USA.
Brazilian Gold Mine Update: Eldora Gold Resources Canada News - Once the drilling and sampling is completed, in about four weeks time (end of November), an additional two weeks will be required to complete the assaying of samples, or mid-December. Metallurgical test work and gold recovery process development is likely to be completed by the end of January 2011. At that time, Ensurge will be able to make a decision on the NME project.
Other Projects
Ensurge is currently evaluating the potential of investing in producing gold mines, along with mines that only have tailings stockpiles. The Company is in preliminary discussions with property owners and if successful, Ensurge would try to achieve operating agreements to provide capital and technology to recover gold in exchange for significant percentage participation from the operations. All mines under review are in the area of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Eldora Resources - How to Avoid Scams when Buying Gold and Silver Coins

Know Your Dealer, Resist Deals Too Good to Be True and Avoid Collectable Coins

It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

With the rise of gold and silver coins as a hedge against inflation, more people are looking to add precious metals to their savings. However, there are many scam artist ready to take advantage of new buyers. Here's how to protect yourself.

Avoid collectable coins
When you start to buy gold and silver coins, some disreputable dealers will try to sell you collectable gold and silver coins. Usually, these coins cost 50% to 100% over spot. If you are interested in buying silver and gold coins as an investment, then you shouldn't bother with collector coins. And you should not be paying more than 30% over spot price, per ounce.

Avoid people who offer "too good to be true" deals on gold and silver
There is no such thing as a deal when it comes to gold and silver coins. You can not buy a gold nor silver coin for just spot price. And you certainly can not buy a silver or gold coin for under spot price. Anyone who tries to sell you a gold or silver coin for close to spot price is trying to rip you off. Avoid them.

Avoid buying coins on eBay if you are not an expert on detecting fake coins
eBay has many reputable dealers. However, there are many fraud coins on eBay. You are better off avoiding this market. If the gold and silver market becomes overheated, you may find that many dealers will be out of coins. And that the only place that you may find gold or silver coins will be on eBay. Your best move is to simply wait until the coins come back into stock at a reputable dealer. If you end up buying a fake coin on eBay, or get stiffed, you will have a hard time getting your money back.

Stick to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins if you are new at buying gold and silver coins

There are many fraud gold and silver coins out there. The majority of fake gold and silver coins come from Asia. You can reduce your chance of buying a fake coin by sticking to U.S. Liberty Eagle Gold and Silver coins. Why? Because these are the only coins minted by the United States. And counterfeit gold and silver Liberty coins are investigated by the Secret Service. That makes it more advantageous for criminals to stick to faking non-US gold and silver coins. Yes, you will pay a little more for U.S. Liberty Eagle gold and silver coins, but it will be worth it.

Avoid buying coins at pawn shops if you are not a powerful negotiator
Pawn shop dealers are masters at buying low and selling high. If you are a new gold and silver buyer and you walk into a pawn shop, you will be like a sheep walking into a den of wolves. You are better off to sticking to large gold and silver dealers who have a set above spot price on their coins.

There are many great places where you can safely buy gold and silver coins. My two recommendations are APMEX and Apmex.com and bulliondirect.com. Both companies have been around for over a decade and have a long track record with many long term gold and silver buyers and sellers. With the right kind of research, you will be able to find the best dealer for you to buy and sell gold and silver coins.

Eldora Resources - Buying and Selling Gold: Avoid Cash for Gold Scam Adverts

Eldora Gold Resources on Buying and Selling gold - If intending to buy or sell gold, then consider the need to analyse carefully cash for gold type adverts before selling gold to such a buyer.

It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

The recent economic downturn has seen a plethora of TV adverts offering to buy gold for cash, the web has also seen a boom in the number of online gold traders in recent years. In many cases however, such TV commercials and online gold traders may only offer a fraction of the value of items, as well as poorer service levels than may be obtained from a reputable gold dealer or jewellery store.

Buying and Selling Gold: The Fair Value of Gold

Those offering a cash for gold service will usually be solely interested in the scrap value of the gold. As such, the fair value of the gold in this case should be assessed on the basis of weight and purity. In order to assess the value of a gold item, one must ascertain the weight of gold in an item. This is done by multiplying the weight of the gold in troy ounces by the purity of the gold.
For instance, two troy ounces of 12 carat gold, which is gold with a purity of 50 percent, would be valued as one troy ounce of pure gold. The value can then be obtained by simply finding the spot rate of gold on the day of valuation, which is quoted in troy ounces.

his however, is only the scrap value of gold. Most forms of gold have an added value through its inclusion in jewellery or as an item, such as a watch. This however, adds no value to the item for the scrap gold trader. If such an item is to be sold, then a much better value is obtainable from a specialist dealer in jewellery or from an auction.

Buying and Selling Gold: Common Scams and Problems

Many cash for gold adverts claim to offer “best prices paid”, in many cases this statement will simply be false. Such a claim can easily be verified by simply finding the spot rate of gold and comparing this to the rate offered by the potential buyer. Whilst it is unrealistic to expect to achieve the spot rate, a traders premium should not be excessive.
Cash for gold adverts often offer a free valuation with the prospect of returning one’s goods, if the offer is not accepted. However, one should check the terms and conditions to ensure that there are no hidden fees. Common hidden fees include charges for postage and packing or so called release fees to return one’s valuables.

Another area to consider is the treatment of an object. This is a special consideration, where items such as watches or jewellery are concerned, there is always a danger that sending away one’s valuables will result in damage to the item, should a return be required.
Finally, even where a scrap gold trader offers a fair price for the gold, in addition to acceptable terms and conditions, consider that one will not receive any value for the artistic or collectible value of a piece sold.

Eldora Resources - Certified Gold Coins – Where to Buy Them to Avoid Scam

Eldora Gold Resources tips on buying certified gold coins and where to buy them. It is important to research and evaluate each of the gold investment companies under consideration. There are many gold investment scams, fraud, boiler rooms that you should watch for, this will serve as a good warning before investing and only use gold options and companies that are verified, and have a good business reputation. This will minimize the risk of falling prey to any boiler rooms, scams or frauds.

From the birth of civilization gold coins were considered to be the best and most liquid investment that could be easily sold for profit in difficult economic times. Unfortunately, high demand for gold coins made of precious metals created ground for all sorts of swindlers and scammers trying to make a profit by misleading customers, especially over the Internet.
Buying certified gold coins is perhaps the safest and most reliable way to invest your hard earned dollars into gold since the term “certified” stands for a coin being assessed by a professional coin specialist from one of the four major grading agencies including, NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ICG. Certified gold coins are typically encased with a temper proof plastic seal bearing a mark of grading assurance. The process of coin certification takes the guesswork of buying gold coins and eliminates confusion associated with assessing gold coin pieces purchased over the Internet or through coin dealers.
Though higher priced, certified gold coins exist to protect coin collectors from buying gold plated fakes and to facilitate safer rare gold coins trading. It’s essential to purchase certified gold coins and gold proof coins only from reputable sources that offer highly graded gold coin products along with excellent customer service.
You should definitely avoid buying certified gold coins through TV commercials, gold shows or e-mail offers since these coins are highly overpriced and might lead to potential fakes. Same stands for buying coins through Internet auctions from sellers with no or very little feedback history – you never know what to expect from such transactions. The general rule of avoiding any type of gold coin scams is to stay away from buying very rare or historical coins that are generally not commonly circulated among average coin collectors. The rarer the coin, the harder it’s to research and assess its true value. Start your research from a wide array of online coin investment forums, Google groups or ask another coin collector what place he recommends for buying certified gold coins. If you feel pressured into buying gold coins or your coin dealer can not produce any valid documentation from a reputable grading agency, walk away from this transaction.
Eldora gold resources - One of the most valuable among certified coins that are widely accepted among top coin collectors is gold Vienna Philharmonics coin that represents the finest examples of modern day 24-karat gold bullion coins.

Gold Investment Advice

Eldora Gold Advise - When gold is found join the gold rush, it would be an investment that would make you rich! In the following article, we give you some more gold investment advice, with each detail explained to keep away from scams, fraud on investment by boiler rooms.

Eldora Resources Tips: There are several reasons, why gold is so expensive, point one, it is one of the rarest elements. Two, it is really hard and laborious to find, three, it is found in very few places on earth and four, it glitters. Point is, a small volume of supply and a higher demand makes the price of gold sky high. There are a considerable number of pros and cons of standard gold investment and there are several options for you can invest. The following gold investment advice will help you take decisions regarding gold purchase and sale.

Gold Investment Advice: 2010

One very important thing about gold pricing which you need to know is that like any other market, gold market is dynamic, with significant price changes occurring in them. The level of price changes that is the upper and lower limit in the rise and fall is quite small and the losses one might incur are not very huge. The big drawback is that the initial investment in gold is required to be high and apart from that, panic selling, unnecessary and quick decisions due to ignorance and misleading advice often becomes a drawback for gold market investors. Hence here is some gold investment advice that will give you some more leads in buying gold as an investment.

Gold Demand and Supply

The gold investment approach is similar to that of the stock and Forex investments. The difference is that the volume of investment is quite high and the opportunity for trade, that is buy and sell is quite scarce. The market conditions change from time to time, however a change (usually a rise or fall in price) does not take place very often and hence the scope of instant liquidity is lost.

Eldora Resources Tips: Gold demand and supply determine the market prices of gold. So, you need to consider this aspect before investing in gold. The simple rule is that increasing demand leads to price appraisal and a decreasing demand leads to price fall. Fact is that the demand by people and to some extent supply, govern the prices of gold. Another significant advantage of investing in this market is that scarcity of gold sources have made supply of gold very limited and at the same time demand is increasing as a result of significant rise in population. This gold as an investment has assured profit and return rate, the volume of profit however depends upon when you sell the gold. Economists would always insist that the best buy is at a rock bottom price and the best sale is at the price just before its graph starts falling. Though having the best buy and the exact sale price is difficult, trying to get the best buy and sell price would ensure that you have a good profit margin. Festivals and pre-festive seasons are the best ones for selling gold bullion or for that matter any gold investment.

Gold Investments: Your Options

There are quite a few options which you can use while investing in the gold market. Here are some leads:

•              Bullion: The simplest option that you can find is the gold bullion. Market movements can be capitalized best with the gold bullion which is minted by the government. Almost every country has its bullion which is minted by the government either in bars or gold coins. Gold investment in bullion also ensures liquidity as the sale cost of bullion gold is always high. Thus bullion is considered to be the best gold investment. Yes, it's one of the best ways to invest in gold.

•              Gold Jewelry: Gold jewelry is also a great investment option owing to the fact that its cost is always escalating. Gold jewelery prices however differ depending upon several aspects such as its age, crafting, etc. The investment is however very expensive and to some extent, the liquidity (sales) is also not instant.

•              Gold Investment Companies: The gold investment companies are basically the ones that trade in real gold and also gold based securities. These companies provide regular return over investments and the long term benefits include very regular returns.
