Gold has long been favored by a fringe of the investment world, but this year some of the world's leading hedge-fund managers have loaded up on the precious metal amid concern government efforts to avoid another Great Depression that could undermine major currencies and fuel rampant inflation.

Today’s tickers: UUP, VIX, FSLR, HMY, M, GMCR, CTRP & DOW

UUP - PowerShares DB US Dollar Bullish Fund – A pair of bullish risk reversals on the PowerShares US Dollar Bullish Fund suggests today’s sharp rally for the dollar will likely continue over the next several months. We observed massive bullish plays on the UUP over the past couple of weeks, some tied to machinations of whether or not the fund had enough shares in circulation. But today’s activity predicts far more extreme movements in the price of the dollar index. The UUP is current up 1.4% to $22.80, while the dollar index, which it supposedly tracks, is up just 0.7%. Investors sold 4,700 deep in-the-money put options at the December 29 strike for an average premium of 6.30 apiece, spread against the purchase of 4,700 calls at the same strike for one nickel each. The high-delta put options hold very little extrinsic value because expiration is just over one month away. Thus, investors are expecting the intrinsic value of the puts to decline. The only way this will occur is if the dollar rallies forcing the UUP to increase. If traders’ bullish predictions are correct, the value of the long calls will appreciate, while premium on the short puts erodes. Such a scenario allows investors to profit by buying back the puts for less than the 6.25 net premium received on the reversal. A similar uber-bullish strategy was employed at the January 2010 28 strike price where investors sold 4,250 deep-in-the-money puts short for about 5.30 each, and purchased the same number of calls for 5 cents apiece.

VIX - CBOE Vix index – With the equity market down and the dollar on the rise, investors across different asset classes today appear to be blaming one another for prevailing direction. No one seems to know why anything is moving in the fashion it is. The suggestion of course is that risk appetite is on the demise and fear is picking up. Compounding such indecision in the volatility class are trades suggesting ongoing disparate views on the fortunes for equities going forward. The so-called fear gauge is 5% higher at 24.90 today while trading has been two way. In the November options one investor loaded up on 25,000 call options at a 25 cent premium suggesting that the index will be above 25 when options expire next Tuesday. The December contract equally hinted…

BloggingStocks: In my perusal of gold stocks, only one -- Harmony Gold Mining Co. (NYSE: HMY) -- trades rationally, but that is not enough to justify holding the stock if you believe, as I do, that gold prices are likely to fall. Even with gold at $1,000 per ounce, ... Read more

BloggingStocks: Gold at $1,000. Better buy now or you will miss the greatest invention since tulips in the 1800s. Or so they say. I say, what a bunch of baloney. Why on earth would I want to put hard-earned cash on something that may look pretty but has no real ... Read more

Over the wekend I am going to share something I have never revealed before.

Tonight I want to ask you a favor. This week AZMN became SFEG. As you know I consider it the most undervalued asset on planet earth. We have rallied from .22 to .58 in the last 3 days.

I want you to close this stock over $1.00 tomorrow.

Why?

So I can bail?

When AZMN now SFEG ran to $2.00 I could have sold, retired, and left a legacy for the orphanage in Africa.

I didn't. Why?

Because I told you I would never take a penny off the table before $3.00

Why?

We are worth $5.00 before we go into production.
After production begins????????????

$10.00
$20.00
$100.00 ?????

We have momentum.
We have value.
We have management with integrity.
We have the opportunity of a lifetime.

At $3.00 I will still take a small amount off the table.
A very small amount.
Just enough to save the oldest building in Phoenix AZ.
Which by the way happens to be a Church.
