LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Swiss bank Julius Baer (BAER.VX), which already operates a gold-backed exchange-traded product, said it is launching new ETPs backed by platinum, palladium and silver, to be traded on the SIX Swiss Exchange.


The products, which will be listed on January 8, will issue securities backed by physical stocks of the relevant precious metals which will be stored in bank vaults in Switzerland.

Julius Baer executive director Stephan Mueller said the funds' launch was a logical step in the development of the bank's ETP portfolio, especially as the industrial precious metals may benefit from a broader economic recovery this year.

"We are very bullish on all metals which have a huge industrial application," he said. Platinum and palladium are chiefly consumed by car manufacturers, while silver is widely used in electronics fabrication.

ETPs are designed to give investors exposure to precious metals prices without having to buy and store the metals themselves. They have proved a popular way to invest in precious metals, with record inflows seen last year.

Julius Baer's gold ETP held 1.954 million ounces of gold as of January 4, data from the bank showed. (Reporting by Jan Harvey; editing by James Jukwey)

La chiusura di HL

Arriviamo quasi di misura, alle due resistenze superiori, senza pero' chiudere il gap di un cent a $ 7. Per domani ( oggi) ci starebbe bene una candela rossa ( o anche bianca) dal corpo piccolo, ma possono anche breakkare al rialzo, con decisione : basta guardare cosa hanno SWC, AAU, ANO, PAL e via via moltissimi altri titoli legati ai settori dei metalli "nobili"

INSIDE SCOOP By MIRIAM GOTTFRIED

Hecla Mining Execs Sell $2.5 Million in Stock
Five insiders sold nearly 400,000 shares of the precious-metals miner.


THE SHADOW OF THE GREAT credit squeeze of 2008 has faded like a bad dream for many companies, but some, like Hecla Mining (ticker: HL) are still struggling to escape its effects. Further tarnishing the precious-metals miner's outlook, the company's top executives sold a combined $2.5 million in shares this week.

Five Hecla executives sold shares this week. On Thursday, Don Poirier, vice president of investor relations and corporate development, sold 26,000 shares for $174,200. The day before that, President and Chief Executive Phillips S. Baker sold 130,000 shares for $887,614, or an average price of $6.83 a share.

After the sales, Poirier and Baker held 177,056 shares and 1.5 million shares, respectively, including exercisable options.

On Jan. 5, Dean W.A. McDonald, vice president of exploration, sold 24,000 shares for $158,880, or an average price of $6.62 a share. And on Jan. 4, Ronald W. Clayton, senior vice president of operations, sold 113,525 shares for $744,758, or an average price of $6.39 a share, and James A. Sabala, senior vice president and chief financial officer, sold 85,000 shares for $547,545, or an average price of $6.44 a share.

After those sales, the three executives' holdings directly and through exercisable options were: 255,301 shares for McDonald; 203,431 shares for Clayton; and 183,059 shares for Sabala.

The five executives each hold less than 1% of the company's outstanding shares.

Hecla shares have blasted past the competition over the past six months, gaining 190%. Silver Wheaton (SLW) shares have gained 124% over that period, while Pan American Silver (PAAS) shares gained 48%.

Poirier says he and the other executives sold the shares to offset personal taxes on deferred compensation. Hecla's financial situation was tenuous after an ill-timed mine acquisition prior to the credit freeze of in 2008. Instead of paying the executives' 2009 wages in cash the company decided to defer them by paying in the form of restricted stock.

"When the shares vested on Jan. 2, they immediately became a tax liability," Poirier says.

Headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Hecla mines, processes and explores for silver and gold in the U.S. and Mexico. The company currently produces silver from two mines: Greens Creek in Alaska and Lucky Friday in Northern Idaho. Hecla's market capitalization is $1.6 billion, and its revenue for 2008 was $192 million.

In April 2008, Hecla completed the acquisition of the remaining 70% of the Greens Creek mine from former joint-venture partner Rio Tinto (RTP). The $750 million purchase price was fulfilled in part with a $240 million bridge loan, which Hecla was unable to refinance after the credit crisis hit. The company was then forced into a series of equity offerings to recover its financial stability.

Hecla has since eliminated that short-term debt, says Michael D. Curran, an analyst with RBC Dominion Securities who rates the stock at Sector Perform. But, he says the company had to stop spending money on exploration in order to deal with financial problems, leaving it without a pipeline of projects that most peers have.

"The way we look at it, they had two problems: a weak financial position and a lack of growth," Curran says. "They've solved one of those two problems, but we can't be bullish until they solve the other."

Buongiorno a tutti.

Cosa pensi sia un rimbalzo (B di ABC) questo degli ultimi giorni oppure andiamo in su? Cosa pensi di Silver Wheaton? MI sembra che come potenziale sia sopra Silver Standard e anche Hecla. Che ne dici?

Ci stanno anche nuovi massimi, nelle prossime sedute

Oggi con una apertura leggermente superiore a quella di ieri, possono disegnare una long white ( e portarsi vicini al recenti max assoluti , penso ad area 193/95 punti ( pull e gappettino )

Alcuni titoli,stanno gia' realizzando nuovi max ( esempio NXG)
Altri, hanno letteralmente stappato a cavallo tra fine e inizio anno ( es: EGI)

Solar collectors

http://seekingalpha.com/article/182341-3-way-to-cash-in-on-precious-metals


If you read the New York Times last weekend, you may have noticed an article on China's new foray into the business of solar collectors.

Solar collection is a form of solar energy. However, rather than use photovoltaic panels to convert light directly into electricity, solar collection uses hundreds of thousands of mirrors (called heliostats) spread over a wide area to concentrate the sun's rays on tanks of water. The sunlight turns the water into steam which is then used to drive a turbine.
Despite China's aggressive development of alternative energy, solar collection is a fairly recent endeavor. Nonetheless, the nation knows it needs to explore every possible method to meet its future energy needs.
Of course, solar collection – like other forms of solar energy – requires silver. In this case, silver forms the highly reflective surface of the mirrors. (The process also uses a lot of water, but that's another issue.)
Silver, despite being fairly cheap now, is in short supply. And that creates an excellent opportunity for investors over the next few years...

Un paio di grafichetti tanto per ravvivare la discussione.

E un altro paio:

Buonasera

Mi immagino niente di nuovo altrimenti il buon Butler avrebbe strombazzato in pompa magna stamattina.

Se accontentassero subito Butler immaginate il casino...

Se volete vedere la commissione al lavoro: mi sembra che gli argomenti siano i soliti, la sicurezza economica nazionale impone di limitare la speculazione, che in realtà sarebbe la conseguenza dell'eliminazione o riduzione degli short.

Non si può escludere che la tempesta perfetta possa arrivare solo quando Butler si sia stancato di predicarla.
