US crisis inquiry points to widespread failures

is Gold Still a Safe Haven?

Over the past 2 weeks, gold has seen its biggest two day drop since February of 2010. What bull market goes up in a straight line?
But, what triggered this drop?
It's simple. If investors believe their future with gold is good, then they will buy gold. If investors believe their future with gold is full of warnings than they will not run to the precious metal.
What are examples of "warnings? We see plenty of those and we have plenty of worries to keep even the most experienced investor awake at night. Some examples are: quantitative easing, sovereign debt, currency wars, EURO ZONE problems, and a housing market where 1:7 mortgages are in foreclosure; also inflation, deflation, hyperinflation, etc.
Has the ECB done enough to fix its ongoing debt crisis? Is the US Economy truly on the mend? We are seeing a very weak stance coming out of the ECB to strengthen the recovery fund and the US housing market is still in the critical zone. Further, we have a chance of soaring inflation.
Inflation soaring? Really? Consider this for a moment.
Investors of US debt are growing closer to a breaking point that could force a major selloff of Treasuries causing yields to rise sharply. This would make it expensive for the US Government to borrow to spur a sluggish economy.


If that happens, inflation could soar. Investors would then flock back into gold, as a safe haven. We have already received signals from China that it intends to reduce their holdings of US Treasuries. If you think that will cause a mild inflation risk, you are in for a rude awakening.
When inflation is growing in the double digits (hyperinflation), it has a single cause. It occurs when a government cannot borrow money because its debt has risen so much that investors believe they will never be paid back close to what they spent.
Is the run towards gold over? I think not. With volatile currency markets, US debt worries, etc, etc, investors still need a safe haven.

Gold

The weakening dollar is likely to strengthen precious metals and commodity prices. Gold found support at $1320, evidenced by the long tailtwo days ago. Twiggs Momentum (21-day) remains below zero, warning of a correction; only recovery above the declining trendline would negate this.

Emerging Economy

10th January 2011
  Indian Economy Next Quarter
Growth momentum to continue, estimated around 9% in 2011-12.
As predicted, inflation data will trend down slowly over the coming quarter.
Inflationary pressures persist, remain top priority for 2011.
Food and commodity prices on up trend globally, domestic structural constraints worsen the situation for India.
Rate hikes to continue, as RBI shoulders burden of inflation control.
  India : Kal, aaj aur kal
Let us begin with the good news. Economic growth in India continues to present a happy story. Even if we take the highly volatile IIP, which has consistently shown lower growth since the peak of 15% growth in the Jan-March 2010 quarter, manufacturing is expected to turn in a 9% growth in 2011-12. The service sector is expected to grow by close to 11% next year, as trade, transport, communication, hotels, finance etc. are all set to continue their robust growth. Apart from all the usual indicators of production and economic activity, the improvement in the hiring indices across all sectors is a pointer to firms turning back to their expansion plans. Salary hikes are also on the way up, not yet to the peaks seen during the boom years, but significantly higher than the past year.
Now for the bad news. Though all inflation indices show falling inflation rates, as we, at Indicus, have been saying for the past two years, inflation is not on its way out. This will not be news to the households who are grappling with high price spikes in basic food and fuel goods, nor will it be news to companies who feel the pinch coming in back again through inputs and commodities, nor will it be news to the RBI whose eagle eye is forever trained on inflationary pressures – it will however probably be news to the government, who has been seemingly unaware of the omnipresent pressure points in the system. Take the ongoing onion spike as a perfect example of apathy – when un-seasonal rains hit crops, is it really so difficult to predict and take appropriate action against impending shortfalls in supply? Emerging onion short supply was well-known months back, corrective action could very easily have been taken then. Why did we not? And why does this happen repeatedly?
Now going ahead, crude oil prices have moved up, again a trend that has been on the cards for a few months now, cement, steel and other commodities have pushed up as well while prices in the auto sector and consumer durables are now set to factor in these rises in input prices.
To make matters worse, it is not just domestic prices but global food and commodity prices that are trended up. Whether it is sugar or iron ore, the story is the same, we are to expect higher prices ahead. Now in such a situation, is it feasible to look forward to a benign inflationary environment in 2011? We anticipate consumer price inflation to stay (at best) around the 8-9% range in the year ahead.
Clearly there are structural issues at play here that need to be dealt with, especially when it comes to food – anticipating the implications of erratic weather, higher productivity, better storage, processing, market reforms, the list is long and well known. There are of course other reasons lending a hand to inflationary pressures, as we have said all along, the higher fiscal deficit necessitated by the crisis is one of them, government programmes that have boosted rural incomes through higher MSPs is another and so on. And then there is all the cash floating around as high government expenditures on infrastructure and social spending brings with it the baggage of what has always euphemistically been termed ‘leakages’.
So the economy is heating, though thankfully it is under some control. But the RBI has a tough job ahead. Of course, a better fisc and efficient food management could make its life easier, but the government is either unwilling or unable to oblige.

SPEL Semiconductor Limited, Indias first & only semiconductor IC Assembly & Test Company, was able to maintain its revenues stream in spite of the present global economic scenario. Announcing its unaudited results for Q3 FY 09-10, SPEL reported sales of Rs 22.09 Crores ( 14% growth in rupee terms compared to same period last year) with a PAT of Rs 2.42 Crores (Rs.3.87 lakhs for the same period last year FY 2008-09). The performance during Q3 FY 2009-10 improved due to increased sales coupled with the Industry stability. And Quarter 4 Results will declare May 5th Expecting Turnover is 35 Cr and Netprofit 5 Cr because from the last Quarter company growth is very very good. So last Quarter results will be very very good.

While the Global Semiconductor Industry showed negative trend, SPEL surged ahead with a positive growth during 2009. The recession created a vacuum for new products and technologies which in turn creates a growth market. The inventory burn and lack of orders have created a huge backlog for customers and suppliers in general and they aim to attain sufficient inventory levels for all their customers as demand continues to grow.

Management had introduced various Cost and Energy saving measures during the previous quarter. These have started producing results during this Quarter itself. Due to these proactive approaches SPEL has been effective in riding the recession wave and emerge out of it with negligible impact.

According to many industry experts in the Semiconductor industry, the year 2010 would see an industry growth of around 10% to 14% while some predict growth as high as 22%. In any case, the industry is gearing itself to start the New Year with a positng to market firms Gartner & WSTS, the semiconductor industry saw a decline of 11.4% in 2009 reaching to US$226 Billion. With the first signs of recovery starting in November 09, Industry is poised to grow 12.2% in 2010 reaching revenue of US$ 249.6 Billion and continuing into 2011 with a CAGR of 2.8%.

To tap this opportunity SPEL has invested, from internal generations, Rs.7 Crores during FYQ3. This will increase the annual capacity by 27 Million units and will yield additional annual revenue of Rs. 8.5 Cr. This will soon be followed by another major capacity expansion with investment of about Rs. 26 Cr.

Based on general information generated on net I feel these properties other core copper bussiness should be valued at 700 cr conservative basis.Copper bussiness shgould have Mcap of 100 crores.
So Conservative net assets of the company should be at 800 crores. which comes at 105/- per share.
However considering Management is of not so high credentials and small size of company it should be valued at 50 % of Net asset value atleast.So share price should be 55/- Rs minimum.
