Please note that Google's traffic is rising going into Q3, but less then Yahoo!'s. YouTube monetising and margins seams to be way below in order to improve Google's total picture. If industry insider is talking about Yahoo!'s flat Q3 in ads revenue Google will be under pressure to meet this Q3 expectations. EPS expectations are down to 3.74 from 3.75 in last 30 days. Somebody is already "talking down" expectation which is not a good sign particularly after CFO sudden decision about "retirement". It was not very much publicised fact that Google actually missed last Q2 expectation in EPS with actual 3.56 against expected 3.59: negative surprise of -0.8%. It was a clear change of trend with "normal" positive surprises to the upside from the Company. Nobody talking ofcause in Bubble Media about already apparent deteriorating fundamentals and slowing growth in financials results this year:

"BIG CREEK, Idaho, Sep 23, 2007 (The Spokesman-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The Sunshine Mine bustled with activity Saturday morning, a forerunner of things to come.
Accompanied by the rumble of heavy equipment, men in hard hats scurried back and forth across the mine's "Main Street," a cement courtyard that leads to the portal, hoist room, maintenance shop and employee lockers.
Come December, "you won't be able to stand at the bottom of that stairway at shift change," predicted Mike McLean, the Sunshine's general manager. "You'd get run over by people heading out to their cars."
Sterling Mining Co. anticipates reopening the Sunshine Mine in December with a staff of 125. It's a second chapter for the underground silver mine, which closed in 2001 amid the financial troubles of a previous operator. "

"After the Fed's rate cut, it's time for investors to make some speculative mining plays, Jim Cramer told viewers on his "Mad Money" TV show Friday.
The half-point cut on Tuesday has raised the value of hard assets against paper money. Additionally, lower Fed rates lead to higher economic activity, which leads to more consumption of metals, Cramer said.
For a sexy speculative buy, Cramer recommended Lundin Mining (LMC - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr). Although the company has had its ups and downs, Lundin now deserves "two thumbs up."
Lundin has major exposure to four metals: zinc, copper, nickel, and lead. After acquiring Tenke mining and Rio Narcea earlier this year, Lundin is bigger than ever. By purchasing Rio Narcea and Tenke, Lundin has increased its nickel and cobalt exposure, Cramer said.
Asian consumption of zinc "continues unabated," driving up zinc's price by 3% this week, Cramer said. Lundin has captured this price rise, so its earnings should increase. With China and India importing record amounts of zinc and nickel, respectively, the increase in demand should continue. Additionally, Lundin has seen some insider activity. Lundin is a great buy at $12 per share, Cramer said."

This company will benefit from US Dollar collapse and is one of the prime candidates for take over bid in my opinion. It is more safe play then other Junior mining companies mentioned on this blog.

This is truly historical development: End of US Dollar as Reserve Currency of Choice:

"Saudi Arabia has refused to cut interest rates in lockstep with the US Federal Reserve for the first time, signalling that the oil-rich Gulf kingdom is preparing to break the dollar currency peg in a move that risks setting off a stampede out of the dollar across the Middle East."

"This is a very dangerous situation for the dollar," said Hans Redeker, currency chief at BNP Paribas.
"Saudi Arabia has $800bn (£400bn) in their future generation fund, and the entire region has $3,500bn under management. They face an inflationary threat and do not want to import an interest rate policy set for the recessionary conditions in the United States," he said.
The Saudi central bank said today that it would take "appropriate measures" to halt huge capital inflows into the country, but analysts say this policy is unsustainable and will inevitably lead to the collapse of the dollar peg."

Another high grade results from recent exploration: capitalisation of this company is roughly equal to its hard assets: equipment and constructions, without any credit for resources at all. Company is in the process of preparing resources estimate. management is definitely pleased with the progress and adding second drill to the property:

"Avino Silver and Gold Mines Ltd. has added a second core drill to its program at the large Avino property located 80kms north east of Durango, Mexico.
The first drill continues to explore the San Gonzalo zone. It is currently drilling Hole 31 at that zone.
The second drill started at the beginning of the month and has currently completed two holes on the ET zone on the main Avino Vein. This is the zone on the main Avino Vein from which the company mined 1975-2001.
A program of 11 holes are planned to explore the ET zone below the 11 1/2 level where production ceased in Nov 2001.
Avino is pleased to announce results of a further four holes at San Gonzalo (20 through 23). (Locations can be viewed on the Avino website)."

Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Credit Suisse Group, Switzerland's second-biggest bank, raised its 12-month forecast for gold, silver and other precious metals because of supply shortfalls and a decline in the value of the dollar.
Gold may trade at $730 to $770 an ounce, compared with the Zurich-based bank's previous forecast of $670 to $720, according to a report yesterday by Tobias Merath, Credit Suisse's head of commodity research.
Silver may trade at $13.50 to $14.50 an ounce compared with the bank's previous forecast of $12.50 to $14.50. Credit Suisse said that platinum may trade at $1,400 to $1,600 an ounce, up from a range of $1,250 to $1,450.
Palladium may trade at $310 to $350 an ounce, compared with $300 to $340, the bank said.
Gold for immediate delivery was at $729.17, silver at $13.1462, platinum at $1,312 and palladium at $335 as of 9:25 a.m. in London.

It is very important development for new Silver Wheaton SLW in the making: Silverstone Resources SST.v effectively controls 207.6 Moz of Silver just in this one agreement. Update of Capstone Mining's Cozamin resources which is due in September 2007 will add more to this resource base. Silver cost is fixed at 3.9-4.0 USD per oz. Company is working on its own resource base in Mexico which has historical indication of more then 100 Moz. First silver revenue from Lundin deal will pour in on September 28th, 2007. Small junior will become second pure silver play with revenue stream from silver sales and with fixed cost base: it is option on rising silver price without time decay. Main shareholders are Capstone Mining CS.to, Lundin Mining LUN.to LMC and couple of investment funds: shares are very tightly held.

"BASE METALS
We have been bullish on gold, oil, base metals, India, China and transportation of energy and minerals for a very long time and that bullishness continues. In a recent email, I stated that we had become more cautious short term about the demand for base metals although continued to be long-term bullish. Our logic was that a U.S. economic slowdown in demand would impact the prices of base metals...and even though it takes many years to bring on new mines, a slowdown in U.S. demand would impact global prices.
Now after a few days of deep research and conversations with a number of economists, we have modified our position. It seems that the ship borne deliveries of many base metals and minerals are almost entirely imported by the fast growing countries like China; ship borne imports of many metals into the U.S. is not a large part of the global market. With the exception of copper and one or two others, most metals are not imported into the U.S. by ship in nearly as large quantities as they are imported into China and similar countries.
Because we continue to believe that a recession in the U.S. would not lead to anything more than a growth slowdown in the developing countries, we are once again short-term bullish on base metals such as iron ore, nickel, cobalt and others where the U.S. is not a huge importer. We will buy the companies that mine these metals on dips.

URANIUM
Also, for those of you who think more long-term take a look at uranium, which has suffered a big price decline. Perhaps not immediately...but over time, uranium prices will once again rise, as demand from nuclear utilities will be growing, due to the fact that more and more nuclear power plants are going to be built worldwide."

Close to Sterling Mining SRLM.ob listing in Toronto we should expect more good news.

"WALLACE, IDAHO--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 13, 2007 -- Sterling Mining Company (OTC BB:SRLM.OB - News)(Frankfurt:SMX.F - News) today reported that its mining crews have completed over 230 feet of drifting on a new portion of the Sunshine vein, that has been accessed from the new Sterling Tunnel and which was exposed during exploration cross-cutting in June and July.
Sampling by Sterling's geologists to date indicate a vein grade of 33.7 ounces per ton over an average of 0.9 feet true vein width for the entire length of the exploration drift.
Raymond De Motte, President stated "This initial result is very exciting, and adds to our projections that there is ore in the Upper Country area that has been either inaccessible to date, or not explored due to fragmented land ownership with prior operators. The Upper Country area, which is separate from the lower levels of the Mine and its silver reserves that are the focus of our return to production, is key to our continuing exploration efforts at Sterling".

"Online Ad Recession Watch: Tracking The Signals
Henry Blodget September 12, 2007 7:24 AM
We continue to believe that we are likely nearing (or already in) the first stages of a cyclical downturn for advertising and the Internet sector--one that will affect not only start-ups and second-tier players but majors like Google (GOOG), Yahoo (YHOO), AOL, et al. Such downturns do not begin suddenly, and they are not instantly obvious (except in hindsight). Rather, as with the housing market, the environment changes gradually, over many months, with early signs slowly becoming a steady torrent of bad news."

These signs are all over Google's performance this year:

"Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. Announces Sale of International Wire & Cable Business for $735 Million"

It will be nice addition to 2.0 billion of cash according to recent filing.

"FCX is a leading international mining company with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. FCX operates large, long-lived, geographically diverse assets with significant proven and probable reserves of copper, gold and molybdenum. FCX has a dynamic portfolio of operating, expansion and growth projects in the copper industry and is the world’s largest producer of molybdenum. The Grasberg mining complex, the world’s largest copper and gold mine in terms of reserves, is the company’s key asset. FCX also operates significant mining operations in North and South America and is developing the potential world-class Tenke Fungurume project in the Democratic Republic of Congo"

Will Lundin Mining LMC LUN.to fit the bill with its 25% in Tenke Fungurume? FCX knows Lundin group already and has another J/V with Fortress Mining FST.v

Before chasing upside of 20% from here, print out two tables with Google financial results and ask yourself: will holders of Google with profits from 200 level sell into next earnings or wait for another confirmation of Slowing trend?

"VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 2, 2007 -- Rainy River Resources Ltd.

August turmoil in the markets put on the second plan a lot of positive developments in Junior sector. Sterling Mining is ready for Run in Silver game. Graduation to Toronto Stock Exchange and start of production this year will move the stock back onto radar screen of investment public.

First Barrick Gold and now NEWCREST to be Hedged is definitely becoming out of fashion. Additional demand for the Gold will push price higher.

"This latest big de-hedging by a major global gold miner, involves the close-out of hedge contracts totalling 2,049,017 ounces, though the company says it will purchase 2.25 M oz of gold put options equivalent to an average of 500,000 oz per annum over 4.5 years, beginning in January 2008. The strike price is $A800/oz ($US657.6/oz)."

""Newcrest intends to close out all its gold hedging contracts and gold loan embedded gold forward sales contracts totalling 2,323,642 oz for an approximate cost of $A842 M," said chief executive Ian Smith.
"Newcrest has pre-purchased 2.3 M oz at an average price of $A831 per oz to enable settlement of these contracts when the proceeds of the entitlement offer are received."
He said the company plans to temporarily leave the longer-dated gold bullion forward sales contracts in place. These would be closed out within 12 months, subject to the gold price, market liquidity and agreeing the terms with hedge counterparts."

It is very positive development for the company and its Stock price. Company has met strict NYSE listing standards and will enjoy higher trading volumes hopefully. More fund managers and index funds will have to keep exposure to Lundin Mining and anticipation of this move will bring share price higher. Actual buying will provide new institutional shareholder base and will require more analyst following. Once the story will be told the Market's recognition of actual value of the company assets will be more apparent in rising share price.

"Lundin Mining hits big time with NYSE listing:

"Lukas Lundin, chairman of the board of Lundin Mining, commented: "This is a proud moment for our company as it is a reflection of our growth and maturity as a global mining company. We have a large shareholder base in the U.S. and are very pleased to have received this important recognition of being accepted for listing on the New York Stock Exchange. We will continue to pursue our goal of becoming a major global mining house in the base metals sector and believe being on the NYSE will assist us greatly in our accomplishing this goal."

I was busy lately buying into small names in Junior sector. After first initial excitement of public with Gold break out above 700 and big names like Newmont Mining NEM, Royal Gold RGLD, Silver Wheaton SLW, money will find its way into tiny Junior mining and exploration sector where the biggest reward for highest risk will be. Join me on the wild ride out of USD collapse and into Brand New World of opportunities:

First sharpen your saw and check yourself whether we are on the same page in big picture:

Secrets of trade to stay alive in the Slaughter House:

Few Research Ideas:

Yes, I think in the end rise in Silver price will be even more dramatic then in Gold due to tiny size of its market.

Google will be affected as well: its slowing growth rate will fall of the cliff.

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares in some of the biggest U.S. entertainment and media companies fell on Wednesday after Goldman Sachs downgraded its view on the sector to "cautious" from "neutral" due to concerns about the U.S. economic slowdown."

From SAI

"Oppenheimer analyst Sandeep Aggarwal has weighed in on the mortgage-impact-on-online-advertising debate with a careful, lengthy analysis. Despite cutting estimates on Google (GOOG), Yahoo (YHOO), and other Internet leaders, Aggarwal remains "cautiously optimistic" about the mortgage situation. As described here, after performing a similar analysis, we remain cautiously pessimistic. The key differences between Aggarwal's analysis and ours are:
*Conclusion. Aggarwal cut estimates on Google, Yahoo, BankRate, and Valueclick based on the mortgage crisis, even though he believes the mortgage impact on these companies will be small. In our experience, once estimates start going down, they usually keep going down. We believe the mortgage crisis will have a ripple effect on other industries, such as broader financial services and retailing. We believe the full effect will take at least a year or two to play out and could be severe enough to cause Google, et al, to miss estimates in Q4. (Aggarwal, obviously, disagrees.)
*Different "financial services as percentage of online ads" estimates. Aggarwal bases his analysis on an IAB estimate that financial services accounted for only 16% of online advertising in 2006. We used a more recent figure of 34%, based on Nielsen impression counts for the month of July. Because financial services ads grew 79% in 2006 (growth that surely continued into the first half of 2007), we believe that Aggarwal's 16% figure is likely too low. Moreover, because the sector's growth rate was so high, even a slowing of growth (rather than a shrinkage) would affect the overall industry."

US Dollar has enjoyed happy times for the most part of last century. In its full glory it was driven by bull market in equities from 1980, economy expansion and most importantly by its safe heaven appearance. After collapse of Soviet Union, nobody could challenge the USA super power and its world’s policemen status. Dollars were welcomed everywhere as official tender for transactions, and entire nations kept their wealth in USD denominated assets. All black markets across the world and emerging economies had only one official currency – American Dollars.

Not any more. First dollars fall out of favor in shady circles: try to buy any real estate in Eastern Europe now: dollars are not welcomed. Now government institutions are ready to accept necessity of diversification out of reserve currency of choice. Dollar as any other FIAT currency is not backed by any tangible assets apart from “solid” government promise to pay back. This promise is based on government's ability to create wealth and spend less then its revenue in form of taxes and its ability to manage cash flow: its trade and current account. The US Dollar's fate is based on trust. Trust that government will repay the same value plus interest on its IOU, trust that government inflation figures are correct and you interest payment or yield on US Treasuries will be above real inflation and provide a positive return.

In August we have witnessed that the trust has gone, first in subprime securities, then in rating agencies. All financial system was put on hold because nobody trusts anyone. The academic approach that derivatives are helping spread and reduce the risk have proved to be wrong. The risk was spread to the least prepared, those who trusted the AAA ratings of subprime engineered junk. When even the risk averse sleeping state owned German banks get hurt in this turmoil, what is happening with risk proactive US banks?

Conservative Swiss UBS was quick to shut down hedge fund with mere losses of few hundred million dollars and CEO gets fired within two weeks after that. In the USA, high profile victim so far is CEO of Standard and Poor’s rating agency, which were given high ratings to tranches of CDO being paid by issuers of these junk paper. There will be more victims to come and losses will be exposed, but the first victim is already apparent. The US Dollar is losing its trust and appeal as reserve of last resort. The dollar is no longer preserving value, nor is it providing security as the most common investment instrument of US treasuries.

Dan Norcini reported: “This is the fourth consecutive week in which Treasury holdings by foreign Central Banks in the US Fed Custodial Accounts have fallen. I am continuing to monitor this development as it seems to be something flying under the radar screen of most analysts in spite of the ramifications involved should it continue and become a serious trend”

You can see the consequences of Stagflation and it's victim – US Dollar. After the subprime shock and the housing melt down, the US economy, in real inflation adjusted terms, will be in stagnation in the best case scenario. The government and Mr Bernanke will try to fight this subprime fire adding more gasoline. All these bubbles were created by easy credit and now they will try to save the financial system by pouring more money into it, creating monetary inflation and eroding value of USD and other FIAT currencies. The long term chart of 30-year US Treasury Yield is in its definite break out from multi year Down Trend after Double Bottom Reversal formation. The appetite for subprime currency and assets denominated in it is falling and in order to sell it even AAA rated you need to raise the premium - yield. In addition, more selling of treasuries by China, Japan and other USA creditors will put more pressure on prices and yield will go higher with USD going down.



Now this process will be accelerated with active role of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF). In order to diversify their reserves from the US Dollar wealthiest countries have created SWFs. According to Financial Times, top ten have a 2.4 trillion dollars cash pile. With biggest Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (UAE) standing at 875 billion dollars. Also important to note that China allocated so far “only” 300 billion to its State Foreign Exchange Inv Corp Central Huijin. This comprises less then 25% of its more then 1.3 billion reserves. In the case of UAE, it is 90% of reserves. Now all these money will be deployed in order to protect their value and secure resources for growth in all these countries.

As falling US Dollar price continues, Gold and Silver will be going up driven by economic fundamentals of supply and demand. All raw materials will appreciate in their value. Demand created by rising population and infrastructure development in BRICs countries will push commodities prices higher. Also, these countries are not experiencing any lack of paper dollars losing their value by the hour, further leading them in their willingness to exchange dollars for the real goods. As more paper money begins chasing the same supply of real goods, it will lead to the higher prices.

PGM and base metals industry will be driven by further consolidation. The trick is that you can not create any new supply of commodities, gold or silver in a split second as you can create supply of new credit in the financial system. Mr Bernanke does not even have to use helicopters for flush of liquidity rescuing markets, just political will and PC in Federal Reserve System. The new commodity supply story is completely different – the cycle is long, boring and risky. You have to find deposit (it is rule of thumb that from 1000 drill holes only 10 will lead to economic discovery and only 4-5 will become mines). You have to secure all permits and financing. You have to build the mine with all necessary infrastructure: water, electricity, safety and environmental issues. You can allow from 6 to 10 years depending on type of commodity, technical issues and permitting process. After 20 years of bear market, the commodities industry is feeling the heat right now with lack of qualified personal, drills and diminishing resources base. Majors are not even exploring any more and are cultivating approach of partnership with Junior mining and exploration companies, spreading the risk and running short on time. Any economic deposit with proven time schedule to become a mine is under constant search in the industry.

Once we identified our major trend: the demise of US Dollar and the end of its status as reserve currency of choice, we can formulate investment approach. In order to put this into perspective just consider that all biggest gold mining companies comprising HUI Amex Gold Bug Index have market cap of a little bit over 100 billion dollars now. Compare it to Google’s 161 billion dollars and the 2.4 trillion of Sovereign Wealth Funds seeking safety from collapsing US Dollar. Big names in the sector will benefit first: they are on the radar screens of investment banks fighting for the right to advise SWFs. Newmont Mining (NEM) could benefit from consolidation by being number 2 in the sector with Barrick Gold (ABX) looking for new resources. Silver Wheaton (SLW) has unique business model of 100% silver revenue stream and fixed cost base, giving the exposure to option on rise in price of silver without time decay. Royal Gold (RGLD) price action historically preceds a move in gold price and it has recently developed buy signal. Tanzanian Royalty Exploration (TRE) is backed by gold prophet Jim Sinclair and recently has entered into contract negotiations with a company from the People's Republic of China. Riskier plays which could bring more reward will be Mines Management (MGN) with silver and copper deposit in Montana and Sterling Mines (SRLM.OB) which is going to produce it's first silver from its Sunshine mine by the year end.

The sector is very volatile and provide one of the best entry point right now after recent sell off. You should stick with the best names in business who will not put their reputation on line for a quick buck. Among them is Lundin Mining (LMC), a diversified base metal producer with phenomenal growth. After recent acquisitions, the company with its commodity mix and strong financial position, becomes very attractive target itself and industry consolidation will drive the share price from recent lows. Voting in confidence of its rapidly expanding business Lundin family trust bought 8 million shares in the company during the recent sell off and the share price is fighting its way back now.

The most impressive returns in this major investment trend of the decade will be made in junior mining and exploration companies. Money will infiltrate into this tiny sector from the industry majors rushing to secure promising projects for development of their resource base. Once the dust will settles and they will understand that demand is not affected by US stagnation or even recession and that financing is available, they will go shopping. The sector is very risky and demands a good industry network and discipline. But once you have found your best shots they will pay off handsomely. Investment approach, risk management and further research ideas can be found on my website.

Consider previous post about declining holdings of US Treasuries and you will see the consequences for Stagflation victim - USD. Long term chart of 30-year US Treasury Yield is in definite break out from multi year Down Trend after Double Bottom Reversal formation. Appetite for subprime currency and assets denominated in it is falling and in order to sell this Junk even AAA rated you need to raise premium - yield. More selling of treasuries by China, Japan and other USA creditors will put more pressure on prices and yield will go higher with USD going down. Gold, Silver and commodities will fly.
