Gold will rise, but don’t expect a straight line or zero discomfort/volatility.</b></p>\n<p><b>The longer answer, however, deserves a bit more context, unpacking and plain-speak;</b>so, let’s roll up our sleeves and start from the beginning.</p>\n<p><u><b>What is Basel III?</b></u></p>\n<p>Basel III is essentially a long-delayed, controversial and internationally agreed-upon banking regulation which now, among other things, requires commercial banks to change their “net stable funding ratio” for gold held as a tier 1 asset on their balance sheet from 50% to 85% to make banks “stronger and more resilient in times of crisis.”</p>\n<p><i>(Hidden premise: Are the BIS and its regulated banks worried about another “crisis”?)</i></p>\n<p>Translated into non-banker English, for each asset a bank buys, they have to insure “stable funding” (as opposed to repo money, demand deposits or excess leverage) to buy/lever more stuff…</p>\n<p>Translated even more simply, banks can’t use as much “maturity transformation” or “duration mismatches”—i.e., leverage and short-term money for long-term speculation (arbitrage)—to buy and sell precious metals, among other things.</p>\n<p>Basel III, in essence, is requiring banks to engage in longer (rather than shorter-term) lending, and in a nutshell, this makes it far more expensive for banks to own “unallocated” gold, as most of the gold they owned in the past was just tier 3 paperlevered to the moon.</p>\n<p>Getting back to more banker-speak, Basel III is an open move that requires banks to de-lever (slow down) their trade in&nbsp;<i>paper</i>&nbsp;gold.</p>\n<p>This is accomplished by requiring/regulating banks to classify their actual physical gold holdings (bars or coins) as tier-1 (real/safe) assets and their paper gold holdings as tier 3 (levered, unsafe) assets, against which greater reserves will be required.</p>\n<p>Translated once again into actual practice, Basel III means there will be a lot less banking leverage of, say a 400-ounce bar of gold (200:1 in 2016, to just 3:1 today) in the COMEX market, which market is slowly being transformed from a derivative-supported (i.e.,&nbsp;<i>levered</i>) speculators’ exchange to a far more&nbsp;<i>collateralized</i>&nbsp;exchange.</p>\n<p><u><b>Is Basel III Making the World Safer for Honest Banking?</b></u></p>\n<p>Seems like a good thing, right? Less margin, less tier 3 risk, more “stable” assets, more reserves, safer banking practices, stronger bank balance sheets to protect depositors and, hey, perhaps even some actual and honest price discovery for precious metals?</p>\n<p>Well…Yes and No.</p>\n<p>Yes, the new regs will force greater liquidity requirements (“Net Stable Funding Ratios”) on banks, thereby preventing them from saying (falsely) that they have gold when in fact all they had was a lot of levered paper and more than one owner for the physical gold they did have.</p>\n<p>But no, this will not lead to banks suddenly going on a forced buying spree (and skyrocketing price move) to replace all their old tier 3&nbsp;<i>paper</i>&nbsp;gold with shiny new real,&nbsp;<i>physical</i>&nbsp;tier 1 gold to meet the new reserve requirements.</p>\n<p>Despite this, many have made hay online claiming such an instant price rise would follow, but as we’ve&nbsp;<b>said before</b>, banks may be greedy, levered and dishonest, but they aren’t stupid, unprotected or suicidal…</p>\n<p>That is, they’ve known these regs were coming and weren’t in any hysterical panic to nervously collect their pennies and suddenly buy more tier 1 gold and silver to meet the new reg percentages.</p>\n<p>Not at all.</p>\n<p>What many on the pundit-circuit and YouTube universe failed to remind their audience was that well before Basel III’s “reserve requirements” went live, those very same banks were already sitting on plenty of excess reserves thanks to prior bailouts (think 2008…).</p>\n<p>In the U.S. banking sector, for example, the big boys were already well positioned with over $1.6T in excess reserves, yet all that is needed to meet Basel III is another $400B.</p>\n<p>In short, banks are not even close to worrying about a forced purchase of more gold to meet Basel III reserve percentages; instead, they can simply allocate a portion of their fat excess reserves (compliments of you the tax-payer and forced bailout sponsor) to meet the new regs.</p>\n<p><u><b>Re-Arranging (“Classifying”) the Deck Chairs on the Titanic</b></u></p>\n<p>But what we do know from Basel III is that all that unallocated paper gold on the banks’ prior balance sheets needs to be re-considered, re-shuffled and re-classified.</p>\n<p>In plain speak for non-bankers (i.e., the rest of us mortals), this means the banks need to make some decisions.</p>\n<p>That is, will they set aside more money to buy physical gold to replace the paper gold, or will they simply reduce the size and scope of their old bullion business?</p>\n<p>Take a wild guess…</p>\n<p>As noted above, if you were expecting banks like Citi Group and Morgan (JP or Stanley) to suddenly convert all their tier 3 paper gold into tier 1 physical gold to make the 85% quota, think again.</p>\n<p>Instead, they’ll be dumping a lot of the paper gold rather than spark some immediate price surge in the physical market.</p>\n<p>In other words, banks will be reducing the size and scope of the precious metal trade, which adds to the cost of lending to every player in the gold and silver space–from coin shops to mining co’s.</p>\n<p>Trading will tighten and clearing costs will rise to match the wider bid-ask spreads as gold and silver becomes less liquid, which could make institutional investors less interested in precious metals for no other reason than liquidity will be harder and spreads wider.</p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, banks will always follow the path that is best for themselves and more onerous for gold in general and the rest of us little guys (i.e., anyone who isn’t a bank) in particular.</p>\n<p>In short, expect a lot less bullion clearing services and hence much higher trading costs from the primary dealer banks.</p>\n<p>But what does that have to do with the Trillion-dollar question—namely the future direction of gold and silver pricing?</p>\n<p>Good question.</p>\n<p><u><b>Basel III and Precious Metal Pricing</b></u><b>A.

Less margin, less tier 3 risk, more “stable” assets, more reserves, safer banking practices, stronger bank balance sheets to protect depositors and, hey, perhaps even some actual and honest price discovery for precious metals?\nWell…Yes and No.\nYes, the new regs will force greater liquidity requirements (“Net Stable Funding Ratios”) on banks, thereby preventing them from saying (falsely) that they have gold when in fact all they had was a lot of levered paper and more than one owner for the physical gold they did have.\nBut no, this will not lead to banks suddenly going on a forced buying spree (and skyrocketing price move) to replace all their old tier 3 paper gold with shiny new real, physical tier 1 gold to meet the new reserve requirements.\nDespite this, many have made hay online claiming such an instant price rise would follow, but as we’ve said before, banks may be greedy, levered and dishonest, but they aren’t stupid, unprotected or suicidal…\nThat is, they’ve known these regs were coming and weren’t in any hysterical panic to nervously collect their pennies and suddenly buy more tier 1 gold and silver to meet the new reg percentages.\nNot at all.\nWhat many on the pundit-circuit and YouTube universe failed to remind their audience was that well before Basel III’s “reserve requirements” went live, those very same banks were already sitting on plenty of excess reserves thanks to prior bailouts (think 2008…).\nIn the U.S. banking sector, for example, the big boys were already well positioned with over $1.6T in excess reserves, yet all that is needed to meet Basel III is another $400B.\nIn short, banks are not even close to worrying about a forced purchase of more gold to meet Basel III reserve percentages; instead, they can simply allocate a portion of their fat excess reserves (compliments of you the tax-payer and forced bailout sponsor) to meet the new regs.\nRe-Arranging (“Classifying”) the Deck Chairs on the Titanic\nBut what we do know from Basel III is that all that unallocated paper gold on the banks’ prior balance sheets needs to be re-considered, re-shuffled and re-classified.\nIn plain speak for non-bankers (i.e., the rest of us mortals), this means the banks need to make some decisions.\nThat is, will they set aside more money to buy physical gold to replace the paper gold, or will they simply reduce the size and scope of their old bullion business?\nTake a wild guess…\nAs noted above, if you were expecting banks like Citi Group and Morgan (JP or Stanley) to suddenly convert all their tier 3 paper gold into tier 1 physical gold to make the 85% quota, think again.\nInstead, they’ll be dumping a lot of the paper gold rather than spark some immediate price surge in the physical market.\nIn other words, banks will be reducing the size and scope of the precious metal trade, which adds to the cost of lending to every player in the gold and silver space–from coin shops to mining co’s.\nTrading will tighten and clearing costs will rise to match the wider bid-ask spreads as gold and silver becomes less liquid, which could make institutional investors less interested in precious metals for no other reason than liquidity will be harder and spreads wider.\nSuffice it to say, banks will always follow the path that is best for themselves and more onerous for gold in general and the rest of us little guys (i.e., anyone who isn’t a bank) in particular.\nIn short, expect a lot less bullion clearing services and hence much higher trading costs from the primary dealer banks.\nBut what does that have to do with the Trillion-dollar question—namely the future direction of gold and silver pricing?\nGood question.\nBasel III and Precious Metal PricingA. The Bearish/Cynical Take\nAs the traders say, buy the rumor and sell the news.\nFor the last three months, as Basel III rumors spread, gold saw a great deal of short covering and price upticks.\nBut once the so-called Basel III “news” approached the June 28 deadline, the selling kicked in on que and gold saw expected falls, which should be classic dip-buying signals for far-sighted investors.\nNear-term, the fact that banks are reducing their bullion trades (or re-arranging their unallocated/tier 3 gold and allocated tier 1 gold) is not exactly a bullish signal for gold.\nIn the UK, for example, the very perturbed LBMA banks live and breathe primarily in the clearing and settling of unallocated, “paper” gold and silver—i.e., the very tier 3 assets most impacted by Basel III.\nAs indicated above, the UK’s regulatory clock starts ticking in January, so we can expect some serious stress (i.e., lower volume) in the soon-to-be beleaguered LBMA market in 2022.\nFor true cynics, it’s tempting to simply see Basel III as a clever way for the BIS and their central and commercial bank minions (think Deutsche Bank) to create a tightened gold trade designed to stifle gold market activity/lending and hence shield their otherwise worthless fiat currencies, as nothing scares broke sovereigns and fake currencies more than rising gold prices.\nFurthermore, Basel III creates a convenient setting to push gold down and thus allow banks to front run the dip and buy more of the same at lower prices. Such cheating is nothing new from the big banks…\nFair point—from a cynic like myself.\nBut let’s stick to what we know in real time.\nIn particular, we can assert that the smaller players and traders in the gold space are about to feel a tight and painful pinch in everything from liquidity to loan terms.\nThus, for smaller enterprises in the gold sector (miners, mints, jewelers and refiners for example) who rely upon inexpensive and readily available liquidity (or loan terms), many will, as always, get priced out by the big players or loan-averse banks as more consolidation in this otherwise shrinking trading/lending universe takes place.\nAnd as for gold traders hoping to go long to actual delivery on futures contracts with tight spreads, they’ll quickly discover that thanks to Basel III, they won’t be able to afford/use leverage to take physical delivery, but will instead have to keep rolling their contracts at a much higher price and wider spread.\nWhy?\nBecause unlike banks, whose cost of capital is zero, normal traders won’t be given a margin account from those same (and newly regulated) banks to pay for actual delivery.\nThat’s why the big banks banks are natural gold shorts: They know most traders can’t go long to full delivery.\nIn other words, the cost (as well as widening bid-ask spreads) of clearing and settling precious metal trades, as well as the cost of borrowing (and hedging) for miners and refiners in this sector will rise considerably as banks push the rising costs down the food chain while making profits on what is effectively their own “insiders arbitrage.”\nSuch shrinkage in bank “precious metal departments” could make gold less attractive to certain parties (expect far less players in the LBMA pitch), and hence push precious metals downward.\nB. Some Volatility & Bullish Inevitability\nOn the bullish side, however, a smaller precious metals market combined with more demand and higher transactional costs can send prices higher, not lower.\nFurthermore, the fact that Basel III reclassifies physical, or allocated, gold as a tier 1, zero-risk asset, means more banks (commercial and central) are likely to increase their vaulted positions of gold and silver.\nThat’s bullish.\nBut as already noted, be it forward contracts in London or futures contracts on COMEX, banks will clearly be less encouraged or voluminous in the precious metal trade.\nFor this reason, I, and many others, expect greater price volatility in gold and silver, but ultimately far better price discovery when the myriad other gold tailwinds of which we’ve written (i.e., rising inflation, negative real rates, central bank loan guarantees, expanding money supply and a falling dollar) outside of Basel III send gold demand (and hence gold prices) naturally higher.\nWith the Basel III regs in place in such a macro tailwind environment for gold, there will be far less big-bank paper-shorts impacting silver and gold’s natural price rises going forward.\nThis means actual price discovery as opposed to artificial price fixing by the COMEX’s big banks.\nThus, if the BIS was hoping to discourage gold via Basel III, they may want to be careful what they ask for, as their plan is likely to backfire as the rest of the world’s currencies are already on fire and burning to ash.\nPutting It Together\nIn sum, there is a wide arc of opinions and possibilities as to the near-term and longer-term impact of Basel III on gold and silver pricing.\nAs stated above, we can expect increased price volatility, and even further declines in precious metals, but longer term, the arc of history, improved price discovery and the good ol’ natural laws of supply and demand make gold an undeniably critical asset going forward.\nAt Matterhorn Asset Management, we serve sophisticated precious metal investors and wealth preservation clients, not speculators, pattern traders or trend followers.\nAs such, near-term price moves on the backs of headline-making regulations never detract us, or our clients, from the blunt recognition that the global financial system in general, and global currencies in particular, are heading nowhere but downward.\nGold is insurance against a system already on fire.\nIronically, the very fact that the Basel III regs are making noise today is just further evidence of this ultimate direction.\nThat is, the fear (as well as unspoken realization) that the very financial system which the BIS and others have mis-managed for years is now at risk-levels never seen before in history precisely explains what prompted Basel III’s arrival today after so many false starts yesterday.\nIn other words, the very architects of the global financialcrisis (an unprecedented global debt disaster coupled with a risk-asset mega bubble) are worried about the catastrophe they alone created and which they can no longer pin on the COVID (fiasco).\nUnlike those “banking experts,” we in Zurich have always played the long game not the putting green.\nRegardless of whether Basel III brings near-term mayhem or calm to the gold markets, we have zero doubts that the only assets to bring individual calm to such global mayhem in this broken financial setting are the very same assets the big boys are currently doing their best to “regulate,” namely: Gold and silver.\nIronically, and despite even Basel III’s attempt to make allocated gold a risk-free priority over unallocated paper gold on their own balance sheets, we also know, and have know for decades, that even the “allocated” gold held by their bank customers is not in fact owned by the customers, but by the banks themselves.\nThat’s why we store our clients’ fully-insured precious metals outside of this fractured and band-aid regulated banking system in secured vaults where the gold is held and marked in client names, not ours.\nAlas: Zero counter-party risk, 100% ownership.\nStated otherwise, we’ve been thinking way ahead of the bankers and their regulators for years.\nAmidst all this noise are simple guideposts.\nWe knew physical gold was a “safe asset” long before Basel III made it tier 1 official; we also knew, like many other sophisticated investors, that “non-yielding” physical gold was a far superior asset thannegative yielding sovereign bonds (i.e., “return-free risk”)…\nHeck, even the central banks themselves can’t deny this, which is why they’ve been purchasing more gold than Treasuries.\n\nIn short, what banks do and what they say are very different things. Basel III is just another attempt to make the unsafe appear safe, whereas we’ve been safe (and more prepared) all along.\nFor serious precious metal investors seeking genuine wealth preservation and currency insurance managed by the global leader in premier gold and silver stored in the world’s most secure vault, we are a far better choice than the banks.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".DJI":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":127250320,"gmtCreate":1624852295760,"gmtModify":1703846230513,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/127250320","repostId":"2146007118","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2937,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":124580053,"gmtCreate":1624772358172,"gmtModify":1703844927425,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/124580053","repostId":"2146090006","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2760,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":125598133,"gmtCreate":1624678941322,"gmtModify":1703843472159,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/125598133","repostId":"1175794606","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2671,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":122637809,"gmtCreate":1624616092001,"gmtModify":1703841789985,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/122637809","repostId":"2146023165","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2270,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":166049444,"gmtCreate":1623986364888,"gmtModify":1703825725347,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/166049444","repostId":"1112448941","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1112448941","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623984287,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1112448941?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 10:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto Mining Could Give Huge Boost to Seagate and Western Digital Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1112448941","media":"Barrons","summary":"Disk-drive demand continues to be warped by the rapid adoption of Chia, a cryptocurrency that relies","content":"<p>Disk-drive demand continues to be warped by the rapid adoption of Chia, a cryptocurrency that relies on large capacity drives to “farm” new coins.</p>\n<p>, Chia uses a different model than other cryptocurrencies to create new coins.

The index SLYG tracks includes stocks with the strongest growth traits based on sales growth, earnings change to price and momentum.</p>\n<p>Back to SLYV, financials accounted for the biggest sector weight at 24% of assets. Industrials weighed in at about 17%, consumer discretionary 15% and real estate 10%.

That was followed by an 805% surge the next three weeks, and a 66% drop over the next two weeks.</p>\n<p>Action had been relatively subdued since, until Thursday's 27% dive.

SLYV rallied 32% this year through Thursday's close.\nThat more than doubles the return of its growth stock counterpart, SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth (SLYG), which is up 15%. The index SLYG tracks includes stocks with the strongest growth traits based on sales growth, earnings change to price and momentum.\nBack to SLYV, financials accounted for the biggest sector weight at 24% of assets. Industrials weighed in at about 17%, consumer discretionary 15% and real estate 10%. Information technology was next at 8% and materials, energy and health care, 6% each. Smaller positions in consumer staples, utilities and communication services made up the rest.\nSPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value is in IBD's ETF Leaders, but SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Growth is not.\nGameStop Stock Leads\nGameStop(GME),Macy's(M),PDC Energy(PDCE),Resideo Technologies(REZI) andBankUnited(BKU) were the top five holdings as of Wednesday.\nPacific Premier Bancorp(PPBI),Bed Bath & Beyond(BBBY),Ameris Bancorp(ABCB),First Hawaiian(FHB) andInsight Enterprises(NSIT) rounded out the top 10.\nGameStop has undergone wide swings this year. It rocketed about 2,500% early this year amid theshort-squeeze rallyfueled by the Reddit/WallStreetBets crowd.GME stockthen crashed 92% from a Jan. 28 high to its mid-February low. That was followed by an 805% surge the next three weeks, and a 66% drop over the next two weeks.\nAction had been relatively subdued since, until Thursday's 27% dive. Even after that, GameStop stock was up 1,070% year to date through Thursday's close.\nCould GME be inflating SLYV's performance? Certainly, given its quadruple-digit gain. But a look at SLYG's portfolio is interesting. GameStop stock is also the top holding in the growth stock ETF, though the rest of the top 10 differ vastly.\nSecond Meme Stock In Top 10\nPDC Energy, up 130%, saw the next biggest gain in the top 10. The Colorado-based oil and gas explorer has a 97Relative Strength Rating, which mean it's in the top 3% of all stocks. Its relative strength line is at a 52-week high, a bullish sign.\nBed Bath & Beyond, another meme stock, is up 78% this year. Shares surged more than 200% in January, amid a spate of wild double-digit swings. BBBY stock then gave back the bulk of its gains.\nBut the home goods retailer appears to be back on the radar of the WallStreetBets discussion group. On June 2, Bed Bath & Beyond soared 62% before diving 28% the next session.\nThe rest of the top 10 stocks have also outperformed the broader market. Macy's is up 68% year to date, while Resideo, Pacific Premier and Ameris have risen more than 40% each. The lowest gainer, bank holding company First Hawaiian, has advanced 20%. The S&P 500 held a 13% gain through Thursday's close.\nSLYV remains in potential buy range from an 87.29entryof acup with handle, according toMarketSmithchart analysis. SLYV and SLYG charge a 0.15% expense ratio.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PDCE":0.9,"BBBY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":903,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111940160,"gmtCreate":1622650534650,"gmtModify":1704188178703,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/111940160","repostId":"1116680979","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1116680979","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"全球第五大财经门户网站Investing.com中国官方微信，提供全球各国海量金融资讯和实时行情数据，包括股票股指、外汇、期货、基金、债券、加密货币等。关注全球金融市场动态的投资者千万不可错过。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"英为财情Investing","id":"92","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/406e2b4996e14cd8a66a2a6864ef4313"},"pubTimestamp":1622643015,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1116680979?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-02 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want To Invest In Gaming?

At the same time, the trader sells a “shorter-term” call with a higher strike price, creating a long diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In other words, the call options for the underlying stock have different strikes and different expiration dates. The trader goes long one option and shorts the other to make a diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In this LEAPS covered call strategy, both the profit potential and risk are limited. The trader establishes the position for a net debit (or cost). The net debit represents the maximum loss.</p>\n<p>Most traders entering such a strategy would be mildly bullish on the underlying security—here, Roblox.</p>\n<p>Instead of buying 100 shares of Roblox, the trader would buy a deep-in-the-money LEAPS call option, where that LEAPS call acts as a “surrogate” for owning the Roblox stock.</p>\n<p>As we write on Tuesday afternoon, Roblox stock is $95.60. Therefore, for this post, we'll use this price.</p>\n<p>For the first leg of this strategy, the trader might buy a deep in-the-money (ITM) LEAPS call, such as the RBLX Jan. 20, 2023, 65-strike call option. This option is currently offered at $44.90 (mid-point of the current bid and ask spread). In other words, it would cost the trader $4,490 instead of $9,560 to own this call option that expires in over one and a half years.</p>\n<p>The delta of this option is about 0.80. Delta shows the amount an option’s price is expected to move based on a $1 change in the underlying security.</p>\n<p>In this example, if Roblox stock goes up $1, to $96.60, the current option price of $44.90 would be expected to increase by approximately 80 cents, based on a delta of 0.80. However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>So an option’s delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).</p>\n<p>For the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This option’s current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.</p>\n<p>There are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.</p>\n<p>Different brokers or online websites might offer “profit and loss calculators” for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a “guesstimate” for a break-even point.</p>\n<p><b>Maximum Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>The maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.</p>\n<p>In other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.</p>\n<p>In our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs. (We arrived at this value using a profit and loss calculator online).</p>\n<p>Without the use of such a calculator, we could also arrive at an approximate dollar value. Let’s take a look:</p>\n<p>The option seller (i.e., the trader) received $1,283 for the sold option.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the underlying RBLX stock increased from $95.60 to $100. This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.</p>\n<p>Because the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)</p>\n<p>The total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.</p>\n<p>Understandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.</p>\n<p>Therefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the trader’s potential return is leveraged.</p>\n<p>Put another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.</p>\n<p>Ideally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless). Then, the trader can sell one call after the other, until the long LEAPS call expires in about a year and half.</p>\n<p><b>Position Management</b></p>\n<p>Active position management in a diagonal debit spread is typically more difficult for novice traders.</p>\n<p>If RBLX is above $100 on Aug. 20, the position will make less than the potential maximum return as the short-dated option will start losing money.</p>\n<p>Then, the trader might feel the need to close the trade early if the RBLX price shoots up and the short call gets caught deep ITM. In that case, the trader might need to close the entire trade and start over, or put together alternative option strategies.</p>\n<p>In a regular covered call, the trader might not necessarily mind being assigned the short option as s/he owns 100 shares of RBLX as well. However, in a poor person’s covered call, the trader would not necessarily want to be assigned the short call as s/he does not actually own those RBLX shares yet.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 20, this LEAPS covered call trade would, in theory, also start losing money if the RBLX stock price falls to about $81 or below. However, the actual break-even point could be different as there are different variables that affect the price of an option. Understandably, a stock's price could drop to $0, decreasing the value of the long call with it.</p>\n<p>Finally, we must also remind readers that deep ITM LEAPS options tend to have high bid/ask spreads. Therefore, every time the trader buys or sells a LEAPS option, there could be a significant transaction cost.</p>\n<p>In future weeks, we’ll continue our discussion with different examples of options strategies.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want To Invest In Gaming?

This option is currently offered at $44.90 (mid-point of the current bid and ask spread). In other words, it would cost the trader $4,490 instead of $9,560 to own this call option that expires in over one and a half years.</p>\n<p>The delta of this option is about 0.80. Delta shows the amount an option’s price is expected to move based on a $1 change in the underlying security.</p>\n<p>In this example, if Roblox stock goes up $1, to $96.60, the current option price of $44.90 would be expected to increase by approximately 80 cents, based on a delta of 0.80. However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>So an option’s delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).</p>\n<p>For the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This option’s current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.</p>\n<p>There are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.</p>\n<p>Different brokers or online websites might offer “profit and loss calculators” for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a “guesstimate” for a break-even point.</p>\n<p><b>Maximum Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>The maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.</p>\n<p>In other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.</p>\n<p>In our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs.

This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.</p>\n<p>Because the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)</p>\n<p>The total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.</p>\n<p>Understandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.</p>\n<p>Therefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the trader’s potential return is leveraged.</p>\n<p>Put another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.</p>\n<p>Ideally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless).

Shares of the company, which is behind the gaming app of the same name, made their Wall Street debut on Mar. 10, opening just shy of $65. Roblox is currently hovering at $95.74.\nThe gaming platform depends on individual developers to create content. Analysts highlight that as a social media and gaming platform, Roblox could see considerable growth in the coming quarters.\nTherefore, potential investors might want to include the stock in their growth portfolio. However, buying 100 shares of RBLX stock would cost around $9,560, a considerable investment for many people.\nSome investors prefer to put together a \"poor person's covered call\" on the stock instead. Therefore, today we introduce a diagonal debit spread on RBLX by using LEAPS options. Such a strategy is sometimes used to replicate a covered call position at a considerably lower cost.\nInvestors who are new to options might want to-revisit our previous articles on LEAPS options (for example,hereandhere) first, before reading further.\nA Diagonal Debit Spread On RBLX Stock\nCurrent Price:$95.74\n52-Week Range:$60.50 - $98.95\nRoblox Weekly Chart\nLEAPS stands for \"Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities.” Readers might also see websites referring to them as LEAP options or LEAPs.\nInvestors who believe in the long-run growth potential of underlying assets, such as Roblox stock, could consider using LEAPS options, which are long-dated, usually one to two years till expiration.\nInvestors like LEAPS as they “cost less” than stocks, as they are offered at option contract prices.\nA trader first buys a “longer-term” call with a lower strike price. At the same time, the trader sells a “shorter-term” call with a higher strike price, creating a long diagonal spread.\nIn other words, the call options for the underlying stock have different strikes and different expiration dates. The trader goes long one option and shorts the other to make a diagonal spread.\nIn this LEAPS covered call strategy, both the profit potential and risk are limited. The trader establishes the position for a net debit (or cost). The net debit represents the maximum loss.\nMost traders entering such a strategy would be mildly bullish on the underlying security—here, Roblox.\nInstead of buying 100 shares of Roblox, the trader would buy a deep-in-the-money LEAPS call option, where that LEAPS call acts as a “surrogate” for owning the Roblox stock.\nAs we write on Tuesday afternoon, Roblox stock is $95.60.

For leisure and travel stocks like <b>Airbnb</b> that got slammed by pandemic shutdowns, the lifting of Covid curbs means adjusting to a whole new world.</p><p>Some tastes people acquired last year as they looked for escapes from lockdown are proving durable, like traveling to national parks by RV. Others, such as boating, grew out of surges in wealth that the stock market rally provided. As the summer travel season heats up, Americans are making new choices in where they go, when they go, how they get there and who joins them.</p><p>\"The world is never going back to the way it was,\" said Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on an earnings call in May. \"And that means that travel is never going back to the way it was either.\"</p><p>One major trend is travelers have become more flexible about when and where they go, especially as remote work allows people to blur when they are on and off the clock. Airbnb stock rose May 24, when the company updated booking features, including an option to search for listings without fixed dates or locations.</p><p>And consumers aren't the only ones changing their habits. While tourism-dependent destinations suffered last year, the less-packed streets also showed locals the benefits of quieter communities.</p><p>Residents and local officials in normally packed hot spots like Italy and Hawaii are considering limiting the number of tourists. Such a seismic change could make visiting these places prohibitively expensive for many people. If the mix of travelers tilts more heavily toward the wealthy, travel stocks will nudge further toward luxury.</p><h2>Leisure, Travel Industry Stocks</h2><p>Shares across the sector have rebounded from last year's pandemic lows. The stocks' recent chart action is mixed. But many travel stocks have outperformed the market the past week and could present buying opportunities for investors.</p><p>Airline stocks&nbsp;like <b>American Airlines</b>, <b>United Airlines</b> and <b>Delta Air Lines</b> surged earlier this year on the Reddit stock short squeeze. Then they sold off because business and overseas travel remained weak. Since then, they've consolidated and are approaching buy points.</p><p>Cruise stocks like <b>Carnival</b>, <b>Royal Caribbean</b> and <b>Norwegian Cruise Line</b> are showing similar patterns.</p><p>Meanwhile, shares of boat makers <b>MarineMax</b> and <b>Brunswick</b> as well as RV makers <b>Winnebago</b> and <b>Thor Industries</b> need to regroup after some failed breakouts. They are no longer in buy zones but could form new bases if earnings and sales growth remain strong.</p><p>Hotel leader <b>Marriott</b> has been less volatile and is forming a base, though earnings and sales have yet to fully recover.</p><p>Airbnb stock has had a more difficult year. It surged after going public in December but began to slump in March as competition from <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPE\">Expedia</a></b> rival Vrbo rental service reduced the availability of hosts. A mixed Q1 earnings report and the end of a post-IPO lockup period also weighed on Airbnb stock, which popped up 6% Thursday on higher volume but remained 35% off its 2021 high.</p><h2><b>When Luxury Means More Privacy</b></h2><p>Luxury travel, once the purview of only the ultrarich, may have won over those who might have had the means but not the need to travel lavishly. As travelers sought to avoid crowds during the pandemic, those with the means turned to options like private jets.</p><p>Arnie Weissman, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, says the pandemic opened luxury travel to a wider customer base. \"Some people developed a taste for it, and it's likely to continue.\"</p><p>Kim-Marie Evans, who writes the blog \"Luxury Travel Moms\" and plans travel for high-net-worth clients, told IBD she booked a trip for a family to Anguilla.</p><p>They stayed in a four-bedroom villa at the Four Seasons. And rather than flying commercially, they used a private jet service.</p><p>Private jet bookings are at or near their pre-pandemic highs, according to Elite Traveler, citing industry tracker FlightAware's data.</p><p>In May, private jet company Wheels Up said membership jumped 58% in Q1 to nearly 10,000. And VistaJet, another leading private jet company, said membership climbed 29% from a year ago.</p><p>Private jet leasing company NetJets, which is owned by <b>Berkshire Hathaway</b>, says its flight volume dropped to as low as 10% of 2019 numbers at the start of the pandemic.</p><p>Now the company, which also offers fractional ownership of its jets, says it's operating at 85% of its 2019 volume. NetJets said in a statement that commercial airlines have reduced their schedules. Consumers also are prioritizing their health and safety, choosing the seclusion of a private jet over a packed jetliner.</p><h2><b>Vacation Shift Favors These Travel Stocks</b></h2><p>Hotel chains implemented stringent Covid-19 protocols to convince visitors their properties were clean and safe. Still, many travelers opted to rent private homes through Airbnb, where they could avoid mingling with strangers in hotel lobbies, Weismann says.</p><p>Travel trends favor Airbnb stock long term, though it currently is slumping. On May 27, analysts at RBC Capital Markets rated shares at outperform, citing secular tailwinds that have yet to be fully appreciated by the market such as its dominant customer engagement.</p><p>The pandemic also shed light on the market potential of travel stocks like Marriott, which operates home-rental service Homes &amp; Villas by Marriott International, catering to ultra premium short- and long-term stays, CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says.</p><p>The Homes &amp; Villas platform, which offers professionally managed private homes, had around 2,000 units at launch less than two years ago. Today, it lists nearly 25,000 properties.</p><p>\"They're where we don't have hotels, and many of them are in more remote locations, which really was quite attractive during Covid,\" said Marriott International President Stephanie Linnartz in a recent call with investors.</p><p>Airbnb also finds that customers are visiting smaller cities, towns and rural communities — not the same 20-30 cities that were most popular pre-pandemic. People are traveling outside the peak seasons and staying longer.</p><p>\"There is a mass shift from mass travel to meaningful travel,\" CEO Chesky said.</p><h2><b>Seaworthy Travel Stocks </b></h2><p>Luxury cruising should also come back with a bang. Nearly every cruise line's around-the-world luxury voyage is fully booked two years in advance.</p><p>One cruise line, Silversea, said its 139-day around-the-world cruise sold out in a single day. The Monaco-based cruise line is owned by Royal Caribbean. The cruise costs between $74,000 and $278,000 per guest, based on double occupancy. That compares with typical fares that start at $15,000-$20,000.</p><p>But others heading out to sea want to avoid crowded ships, which have seen outbreaks of coronavirus and other infections. The National Marine Manufacturers Association says new powerboat sales surged 34% in February compared to the same time period last year.</p><p>\"Inventory levels of new boats are the leanest they've ever been, and boats are being sold as soon as they hit the marketplace as manufacturers work to fulfill the backlog of orders,\" said Vicky Yu, senior director of business intelligence for NMMA. \"While new boat sales slowed in early 2021 following record sales last year, we are still seeing elevated levels as more Americans seek out boating as a way to spend quality time with loved ones.\"</p><p>The trend has pushed up leisure and travel stocks like boat retailers MarineMax and Brunswick&nbsp;as well as sport boat maker <b>Malibu Boats</b>.</p><p>\"It's really turning out to be a great alternative for people to stay close to home and with their family and friends and enjoy the boating lifestyle,\" MarineMax CFO Michael McLamb said in a conference call after reporting earnings April 22.</p><h2><b>Travel Stocks For Being Alone Together</b></h2><p>The desire to spend more time with friends and family is also spurring RV sales. They exploded in popularity during the pandemic, and sales data this year show demand remains high.</p><p>\"The rediscovery of America will continue this summer,\" Weissman said.</p><p>The pandemic accelerated long-term trends favoring the outdoors, Winnebago CEO Michael Happe said in a March earnings call. That includes power sports, boating and RVs.</p><p>Consumer priorities have changed, he added, toward a desire to invest in experiences vs. possessions.</p><p>\"We also believe the time (spent) recently with family and friends has reinforced that they'd like to do more of that in the future,\" Happe said. \"And families and individuals will be reevaluating how they spend their leisure time going forward.\"</p><p>Airbnb pointed to another sign of this trend among leisure and travel stocks. Instead of booking studio apartments in cities, more customers are booking entire homes with more bedrooms. As a result, the number of guests per reservation has increased.</p><h2><b>Work-Life Rebalance</b></h2><p>As people pay closer attention to their well-being post-Covid, another trend to watch is high-end wellness tourism with a focus on fitness, rejuvenation and health, Weissman says. That includes yoga and spa getaways as well as packages that offer cycling and hiking activities.</p><p>Meanwhile, the work-from-home shift allowed people to rethink other aspects of their lifestyle. In particular, they can try to balance work, leisure and travel differently.</p><p>Wedbush analyst James Hardiman says \"2020 was proof of concept that people can be productive, even more productive, while working remotely.\"</p><p>Airbnb says the share of bookings longer than 28 days jumped to 24% in Q1 from 14% in 2019. The company doesn't consider this travel.</p><p>\"People are not just traveling on Airbnb,\" Chesky said. \"They're now living on Airbnb.\"</p><h2>Future Of Business Travel?</h2><p>That also has implications for business travel, which is the most lucrative segment for travel stocks like airlines.</p><p>Experts say fewer workers may fly for <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a>-day intracompany meetings.

Typically, IPOs offer companies the ability to build capital.

Less margin, less tier 3 risk, more “stable” assets, more reserves, safer banking practices, stronger bank balance sheets to protect depositors and, hey, perhaps even some actual and honest price discovery for precious metals?</p>\n<p>Well…Yes and No.</p>\n<p>Yes, the new regs will force greater liquidity requirements (“Net Stable Funding Ratios”) on banks, thereby preventing them from saying (falsely) that they have gold when in fact all they had was a lot of levered paper and more than one owner for the physical gold they did have.</p>\n<p>But no, this will not lead to banks suddenly going on a forced buying spree (and skyrocketing price move) to replace all their old tier 3&nbsp;<i>paper</i>&nbsp;gold with shiny new real,&nbsp;<i>physical</i>&nbsp;tier 1 gold to meet the new reserve requirements.</p>\n<p>Despite this, many have made hay online claiming such an instant price rise would follow, but as we’ve&nbsp;<b>said before</b>, banks may be greedy, levered and dishonest, but they aren’t stupid, unprotected or suicidal…</p>\n<p>That is, they’ve known these regs were coming and weren’t in any hysterical panic to nervously collect their pennies and suddenly buy more tier 1 gold and silver to meet the new reg percentages.</p>\n<p>Not at all.</p>\n<p>What many on the pundit-circuit and YouTube universe failed to remind their audience was that well before Basel III’s “reserve requirements” went live, those very same banks were already sitting on plenty of excess reserves thanks to prior bailouts (think 2008…).</p>\n<p>In the U.S. banking sector, for example, the big boys were already well positioned with over $1.6T in excess reserves, yet all that is needed to meet Basel III is another $400B.</p>\n<p>In short, banks are not even close to worrying about a forced purchase of more gold to meet Basel III reserve percentages; instead, they can simply allocate a portion of their fat excess reserves (compliments of you the tax-payer and forced bailout sponsor) to meet the new regs.</p>\n<p><u><b>Re-Arranging (“Classifying”) the Deck Chairs on the Titanic</b></u></p>\n<p>But what we do know from Basel III is that all that unallocated paper gold on the banks’ prior balance sheets needs to be re-considered, re-shuffled and re-classified.</p>\n<p>In plain speak for non-bankers (i.e., the rest of us mortals), this means the banks need to make some decisions.</p>\n<p>That is, will they set aside more money to buy physical gold to replace the paper gold, or will they simply reduce the size and scope of their old bullion business?</p>\n<p>Take a wild guess…</p>\n<p>As noted above, if you were expecting banks like Citi Group and Morgan (JP or Stanley) to suddenly convert all their tier 3 paper gold into tier 1 physical gold to make the 85% quota, think again.</p>\n<p>Instead, they’ll be dumping a lot of the paper gold rather than spark some immediate price surge in the physical market.</p>\n<p>In other words, banks will be reducing the size and scope of the precious metal trade, which adds to the cost of lending to every player in the gold and silver space–from coin shops to mining co’s.</p>\n<p>Trading will tighten and clearing costs will rise to match the wider bid-ask spreads as gold and silver becomes less liquid, which could make institutional investors less interested in precious metals for no other reason than liquidity will be harder and spreads wider.</p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, banks will always follow the path that is best for themselves and more onerous for gold in general and the rest of us little guys (i.e., anyone who isn’t a bank) in particular.</p>\n<p>In short, expect a lot less bullion clearing services and hence much higher trading costs from the primary dealer banks.</p>\n<p>But what does that have to do with the Trillion-dollar question—namely the future direction of gold and silver pricing?</p>\n<p>Good question.</p>\n<p><u><b>Basel III and Precious Metal Pricing</b></u><b>A. The Bearish/Cynical Take</b></p>\n<p>As the traders say, buy the rumor and sell the news.</p>\n<p>For the last three months, as Basel III rumors spread, gold saw a great deal of short covering and price upticks.</p>\n<p>But once the so-called Basel III “news” approached the June 28 deadline, the selling kicked in on que and gold saw expected falls, which should be classic dip-buying signals for far-sighted investors.</p>\n<p>Near-term, the fact that banks are reducing their bullion trades (or re-arranging their unallocated/tier 3 gold and allocated tier 1 gold) is not exactly a bullish signal for gold.</p>\n<p>In the UK, for example, the very perturbed LBMA banks live and breathe primarily in the clearing and settling of unallocated, “paper” gold and silver—i.e., the very tier 3 assets most impacted by Basel III.</p>\n<p>As indicated above, the UK’s regulatory clock starts ticking in January, so we can expect some serious stress (i.e., lower volume) in the soon-to-be beleaguered LBMA market in 2022.</p>\n<p>For true cynics, it’s tempting to simply see Basel III as a clever way for the BIS and their central and commercial bank minions (think Deutsche Bank) to create a tightened gold trade designed to stifle gold market activity/lending and hence shield their otherwise worthless fiat currencies, as nothing scares broke sovereigns and fake currencies more than rising gold prices.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, Basel III creates a convenient setting to push gold down and thus allow banks to front run the dip and buy more of the same at lower prices. Such cheating is nothing new from the big banks…</p>\n<p>Fair point—from a cynic like myself.</p>\n<p>But let’s stick to what we know in real time.</p>\n<p>In particular, we can assert that the smaller players and traders in the gold space are about to feel a tight and painful pinch in everything from liquidity to loan terms.</p>\n<p>Thus, for smaller enterprises in the gold sector (miners, mints, jewelers and refiners for example) who rely upon inexpensive and readily available liquidity (or loan terms), many will, as always, get priced out by the big players or loan-averse banks as more consolidation in this otherwise shrinking trading/lending universe takes place.</p>\n<p>And as for gold traders hoping to go long to actual delivery on futures contracts with tight spreads, they’ll quickly discover that thanks to Basel III, they won’t be able to afford/use leverage to take physical delivery, but will instead have to keep rolling their contracts at a much higher price and wider spread.</p>\n<p>Why?</p>\n<p>Because unlike banks, whose cost of capital is zero, normal traders won’t be given a margin account from those same (and newly regulated) banks to pay for actual delivery.</p>\n<p>That’s why the big banks banks are natural gold shorts: They know most traders can’t go long to full delivery.</p>\n<p>In other words, the cost (as well as widening bid-ask spreads) of clearing and settling precious metal trades, as well as the cost of borrowing (and hedging) for miners and refiners in this sector will rise considerably as banks push the rising costs down the food chain while making profits on what is effectively their own “insiders arbitrage.”</p>\n<p>Such shrinkage in bank “precious metal departments” could make gold less attractive to certain parties (expect far less players in the LBMA pitch), and hence push precious metals downward.</p>\n<p><b>B. Some Volatility &amp; Bullish Inevitability</b></p>\n<p>On the bullish side, however, a smaller precious metals market combined with more demand and higher transactional costs can send prices higher, not lower.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the fact that Basel III reclassifies physical, or allocated, gold as a tier 1, zero-risk asset, means more banks (commercial and central) are likely to increase their&nbsp;<i>vaulted</i>&nbsp;positions of gold and silver.</p>\n<p>That’s bullish.</p>\n<p>But as already noted, be it forward contracts in London or futures contracts on COMEX, banks will clearly be less encouraged or voluminous in the precious metal&nbsp;<i>trade</i>.</p>\n<p>For this reason, I, and many others, expect greater&nbsp;<i>price volatility</i>&nbsp;in gold and silver, but ultimately far better&nbsp;<i>price discovery</i>&nbsp;when the myriad other gold tailwinds of which we’ve written (i.e.,&nbsp;<b>rising inflation</b>,&nbsp;<b>negative real rates</b>,&nbsp;<b>central bank loan guarantees</b>,&nbsp;<b>expanding money supply</b>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<b>falling dollar</b>)&nbsp;<i>outside</i>&nbsp;of Basel III send gold demand (and hence gold prices) naturally higher.</p>\n<p>With the Basel III regs in place in such a macro tailwind environment for gold, there will be far less big-bank paper-shorts impacting silver and gold’s natural price rises going forward.</p>\n<p>This means actual&nbsp;<i>price discovery</i>&nbsp;as opposed to artificial&nbsp;<b><i>price fixing</i></b>&nbsp;by the COMEX’s big banks.</p>\n<p>Thus, if the BIS was hoping to discourage gold via Basel III, they may want to be careful what they ask for, as their plan is likely to backfire as the rest of the world’s currencies are already on fire and&nbsp;<b>burning to ash</b>.</p>\n<p><u><b>Putting It Together</b></u></p>\n<p>In sum, there is a wide arc of opinions and possibilities as to the near-term and longer-term impact of Basel III on gold and silver pricing.</p>\n<p><b>As stated above, we can expect increased price volatility, and even further declines in precious metals, but longer term, the arc of history, improved price discovery and the good ol’ natural laws of supply and demand make gold an undeniably critical asset going forward.</b></p>\n<p>At Matterhorn Asset Management, we serve sophisticated precious metal&nbsp;<i>investors</i>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<i>wealth preservation</i>&nbsp;clients, not speculators, pattern traders or trend followers.</p>\n<p>As such, near-term price moves on the backs of headline-making regulations never detract us, or our clients, from the blunt recognition that the global financial system in general, and global currencies in particular, are heading nowhere but downward.</p>\n<p>Gold is insurance against a system already on fire.</p>\n<p>Ironically, the very fact that the Basel III regs are making noise today is just further evidence of this ultimate direction.</p>\n<p>That is, the fear (as well as unspoken realization) that the very financial system which the BIS and others have mis-managed for years is now at risk-levels never seen before in history precisely explains what prompted Basel III’s arrival&nbsp;<i>today</i>&nbsp;after so many false starts&nbsp;<i>yesterday</i>.</p>\n<p>In other words, the very&nbsp;<b>architects of the global financialcrisis</b>&nbsp;(an unprecedented global debt disaster coupled with a risk-asset mega bubble) are worried about the catastrophe they alone created and which they can no longer pin on the COVID (fiasco).</p>\n<p>Unlike those “banking experts,” we in Zurich have always played the long game not the putting green.</p>\n<p>Regardless of whether Basel III brings near-term mayhem or calm to the gold markets, we have zero doubts that the only assets to bring individual calm to such global mayhem in this broken financial setting are the very same assets the big boys are currently doing their best to “regulate,” namely: Gold and silver.</p>\n<p>Ironically, and despite even Basel III’s attempt to make allocated gold a risk-free priority over unallocated paper gold on their own balance sheets, we also know, and have know for decades, that even the “allocated” gold held by their bank customers is not in fact owned by the customers, but by the banks themselves.</p>\n<p>That’s why we store our clients’ fully-insured precious metals&nbsp;<i>outside</i>&nbsp;of this fractured and band-aid regulated banking system in secured vaults where the gold is held and marked in&nbsp;<i>client</i>&nbsp;names, not ours.</p>\n<p>Alas: Zero counter-party risk, 100% ownership.</p>\n<p>Stated otherwise, we’ve been thinking way ahead of the bankers and their regulators for years.</p>\n<p>Amidst all this noise are simple guideposts.</p>\n<p><b>We knew physical gold was a “safe asset” long before Basel III made it tier 1 official; we also knew, like many other sophisticated investors, that “non-yielding” physical gold was a far superior asset than</b><b><i>negative</i></b><b>&nbsp;yielding sovereign bonds (i.e., “return-free risk”)…</b></p>\n<p>Heck, even the central banks themselves can’t deny this, which is why they’ve been purchasing more gold than Treasuries.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/32f7086123d8f53ad709809b9beabf9f\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"450\"></p>\n<p><b>In short, what banks do and what they say are very different things. Basel III is just another attempt to make the unsafe&nbsp;</b><b><i>appear</i></b><b>&nbsp;safe, whereas we’ve been safe (and more prepared) all along.</b></p>\n<p>For serious precious metal investors seeking genuine wealth preservation and currency insurance managed by the global leader in premier gold and silver stored in the world’s most secure vault, we are a far better choice than the banks.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Less margin, less tier 3 risk, more “stable” assets, more reserves, safer banking practices, stronger bank balance sheets to protect depositors and, hey, perhaps even some actual and honest price discovery for precious metals?\nWell…Yes and No.\nYes, the new regs will force greater liquidity requirements (“Net Stable Funding Ratios”) on banks, thereby preventing them from saying (falsely) that they have gold when in fact all they had was a lot of levered paper and more than one owner for the physical gold they did have.\nBut no, this will not lead to banks suddenly going on a forced buying spree (and skyrocketing price move) to replace all their old tier 3 paper gold with shiny new real, physical tier 1 gold to meet the new reserve requirements.\nDespite this, many have made hay online claiming such an instant price rise would follow, but as we’ve said before, banks may be greedy, levered and dishonest, but they aren’t stupid, unprotected or suicidal…\nThat is, they’ve known these regs were coming and weren’t in any hysterical panic to nervously collect their pennies and suddenly buy more tier 1 gold and silver to meet the new reg percentages.\nNot at all.\nWhat many on the pundit-circuit and YouTube universe failed to remind their audience was that well before Basel III’s “reserve requirements” went live, those very same banks were already sitting on plenty of excess reserves thanks to prior bailouts (think 2008…).\nIn the U.S. banking sector, for example, the big boys were already well positioned with over $1.6T in excess reserves, yet all that is needed to meet Basel III is another $400B.\nIn short, banks are not even close to worrying about a forced purchase of more gold to meet Basel III reserve percentages; instead, they can simply allocate a portion of their fat excess reserves (compliments of you the tax-payer and forced bailout sponsor) to meet the new regs.\nRe-Arranging (“Classifying”) the Deck Chairs on the Titanic\nBut what we do know from Basel III is that all that unallocated paper gold on the banks’ prior balance sheets needs to be re-considered, re-shuffled and re-classified.\nIn plain speak for non-bankers (i.e., the rest of us mortals), this means the banks need to make some decisions.\nThat is, will they set aside more money to buy physical gold to replace the paper gold, or will they simply reduce the size and scope of their old bullion business?\nTake a wild guess…\nAs noted above, if you were expecting banks like Citi Group and Morgan (JP or Stanley) to suddenly convert all their tier 3 paper gold into tier 1 physical gold to make the 85% quota, think again.\nInstead, they’ll be dumping a lot of the paper gold rather than spark some immediate price surge in the physical market.\nIn other words, banks will be reducing the size and scope of the precious metal trade, which adds to the cost of lending to every player in the gold and silver space–from coin shops to mining co’s.\nTrading will tighten and clearing costs will rise to match the wider bid-ask spreads as gold and silver becomes less liquid, which could make institutional investors less interested in precious metals for no other reason than liquidity will be harder and spreads wider.\nSuffice it to say, banks will always follow the path that is best for themselves and more onerous for gold in general and the rest of us little guys (i.e., anyone who isn’t a bank) in particular.\nIn short, expect a lot less bullion clearing services and hence much higher trading costs from the primary dealer banks.\nBut what does that have to do with the Trillion-dollar question—namely the future direction of gold and silver pricing?\nGood question.\nBasel III and Precious Metal PricingA. The Bearish/Cynical Take\nAs the traders say, buy the rumor and sell the news.\nFor the last three months, as Basel III rumors spread, gold saw a great deal of short covering and price upticks.\nBut once the so-called Basel III “news” approached the June 28 deadline, the selling kicked in on que and gold saw expected falls, which should be classic dip-buying signals for far-sighted investors.\nNear-term, the fact that banks are reducing their bullion trades (or re-arranging their unallocated/tier 3 gold and allocated tier 1 gold) is not exactly a bullish signal for gold.\nIn the UK, for example, the very perturbed LBMA banks live and breathe primarily in the clearing and settling of unallocated, “paper” gold and silver—i.e., the very tier 3 assets most impacted by Basel III.\nAs indicated above, the UK’s regulatory clock starts ticking in January, so we can expect some serious stress (i.e., lower volume) in the soon-to-be beleaguered LBMA market in 2022.\nFor true cynics, it’s tempting to simply see Basel III as a clever way for the BIS and their central and commercial bank minions (think Deutsche Bank) to create a tightened gold trade designed to stifle gold market activity/lending and hence shield their otherwise worthless fiat currencies, as nothing scares broke sovereigns and fake currencies more than rising gold prices.\nFurthermore, Basel III creates a convenient setting to push gold down and thus allow banks to front run the dip and buy more of the same at lower prices. Such cheating is nothing new from the big banks…\nFair point—from a cynic like myself.\nBut let’s stick to what we know in real time.\nIn particular, we can assert that the smaller players and traders in the gold space are about to feel a tight and painful pinch in everything from liquidity to loan terms.\nThus, for smaller enterprises in the gold sector (miners, mints, jewelers and refiners for example) who rely upon inexpensive and readily available liquidity (or loan terms), many will, as always, get priced out by the big players or loan-averse banks as more consolidation in this otherwise shrinking trading/lending universe takes place.\nAnd as for gold traders hoping to go long to actual delivery on futures contracts with tight spreads, they’ll quickly discover that thanks to Basel III, they won’t be able to afford/use leverage to take physical delivery, but will instead have to keep rolling their contracts at a much higher price and wider spread.\nWhy?\nBecause unlike banks, whose cost of capital is zero, normal traders won’t be given a margin account from those same (and newly regulated) banks to pay for actual delivery.\nThat’s why the big banks banks are natural gold shorts: They know most traders can’t go long to full delivery.\nIn other words, the cost (as well as widening bid-ask spreads) of clearing and settling precious metal trades, as well as the cost of borrowing (and hedging) for miners and refiners in this sector will rise considerably as banks push the rising costs down the food chain while making profits on what is effectively their own “insiders arbitrage.”\nSuch shrinkage in bank “precious metal departments” could make gold less attractive to certain parties (expect far less players in the LBMA pitch), and hence push precious metals downward.\nB. Some Volatility & Bullish Inevitability\nOn the bullish side, however, a smaller precious metals market combined with more demand and higher transactional costs can send prices higher, not lower.\nFurthermore, the fact that Basel III reclassifies physical, or allocated, gold as a tier 1, zero-risk asset, means more banks (commercial and central) are likely to increase their vaulted positions of gold and silver.\nThat’s bullish.\nBut as already noted, be it forward contracts in London or futures contracts on COMEX, banks will clearly be less encouraged or voluminous in the precious metal trade.\nFor this reason, I, and many others, expect greater price volatility in gold and silver, but ultimately far better price discovery when the myriad other gold tailwinds of which we’ve written (i.e., rising inflation, negative real rates, central bank loan guarantees, expanding money supply and a falling dollar) outside of Basel III send gold demand (and hence gold prices) naturally higher.\nWith the Basel III regs in place in such a macro tailwind environment for gold, there will be far less big-bank paper-shorts impacting silver and gold’s natural price rises going forward.\nThis means actual price discovery as opposed to artificial price fixing by the COMEX’s big banks.\nThus, if the BIS was hoping to discourage gold via Basel III, they may want to be careful what they ask for, as their plan is likely to backfire as the rest of the world’s currencies are already on fire and burning to ash.\nPutting It Together\nIn sum, there is a wide arc of opinions and possibilities as to the near-term and longer-term impact of Basel III on gold and silver pricing.\nAs stated above, we can expect increased price volatility, and even further declines in precious metals, but longer term, the arc of history, improved price discovery and the good ol’ natural laws of supply and demand make gold an undeniably critical asset going forward.\nAt Matterhorn Asset Management, we serve sophisticated precious metal investors and wealth preservation clients, not speculators, pattern traders or trend followers.\nAs such, near-term price moves on the backs of headline-making regulations never detract us, or our clients, from the blunt recognition that the global financial system in general, and global currencies in particular, are heading nowhere but downward.\nGold is insurance against a system already on fire.\nIronically, the very fact that the Basel III regs are making noise today is just further evidence of this ultimate direction.\nThat is, the fear (as well as unspoken realization) that the very financial system which the BIS and others have mis-managed for years is now at risk-levels never seen before in history precisely explains what prompted Basel III’s arrival today after so many false starts yesterday.\nIn other words, the very architects of the global financialcrisis (an unprecedented global debt disaster coupled with a risk-asset mega bubble) are worried about the catastrophe they alone created and which they can no longer pin on the COVID (fiasco).\nUnlike those “banking experts,” we in Zurich have always played the long game not the putting green.\nRegardless of whether Basel III brings near-term mayhem or calm to the gold markets, we have zero doubts that the only assets to bring individual calm to such global mayhem in this broken financial setting are the very same assets the big boys are currently doing their best to “regulate,” namely: Gold and silver.\nIronically, and despite even Basel III’s attempt to make allocated gold a risk-free priority over unallocated paper gold on their own balance sheets, we also know, and have know for decades, that even the “allocated” gold held by their bank customers is not in fact owned by the customers, but by the banks themselves.\nThat’s why we store our clients’ fully-insured precious metals outside of this fractured and band-aid regulated banking system in secured vaults where the gold is held and marked in client names, not ours.\nAlas: Zero counter-party risk, 100% ownership.\nStated otherwise, we’ve been thinking way ahead of the bankers and their regulators for years.\nAmidst all this noise are simple guideposts.\nWe knew physical gold was a “safe asset” long before Basel III made it tier 1 official; we also knew, like many other sophisticated investors, that “non-yielding” physical gold was a far superior asset thannegative yielding sovereign bonds (i.e., “return-free risk”)…\nHeck, even the central banks themselves can’t deny this, which is why they’ve been purchasing more gold than Treasuries.\n\nIn short, what banks do and what they say are very different things. Basel III is just another attempt to make the unsafe appear safe, whereas we’ve been safe (and more prepared) all along.\nFor serious precious metal investors seeking genuine wealth preservation and currency insurance managed by the global leader in premier gold and silver stored in the world’s most secure vault, we are a far better choice than the banks.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".DJI":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":3101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":185766651,"gmtCreate":1623674133873,"gmtModify":1704208315631,"author":{"id":"3577752520804349","authorId":"3577752520804349","name":"ChawKW","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8ade0e4b15b15ce9d93b72d9bb81f36c","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3577752520804349","idStr":"3577752520804349"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"?","listText":"?","text":"?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/185766651","repostId":"1146430910","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146430910","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1623624483,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1146430910?lang=en_US&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-14 06:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Oracle, Adobe, Kroger, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146430910","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another quiet week on the earnings front.
