Aggressive Drops in the Dow

by Joe Battaglia
Posted: October 6, 2008

Bank problems in Europe have hit the markets and caused aggressive drops in the Dow and other stock indices.  The Dow is trading down 346 points, which is slightly above the lows.  The Nasdaq is down 85 and the transports are down 171 points.  Gold is up $42 and silver is trading at about unchanged.  Platinum and palladium both posting solid gains as well, even though oil is down sharply trading at $91.59 after hitting a low of $88.89 a barrel.

 

Safe haven demand for gold is on the increase and driving gold higher.  As gold moves up, it prompts short covering, which adds to the up move.  The Fed has indicated it is going to double it's Treasury Auction facility, putting $900billion of liquidity into the system and taking approximately $900 billion worth of junk assets off of the books of the banks.  Meanwhile, there is a severe crisis in Europe as the European banks are suffering similar credit seizure.  Several governments acted to guarantee deposits.  The euro has fallen the most against the Japanese yen since 2007.  It literally experienced a one-day collapse.  What we are seeing now are global bank runs of epic proportions. 

 

Investors who understand this have been moving to gold for sometime.  Last week, the Swiss ETF holdings rose 18.5%.  Frank Lesh, analyst with Futurepath said today: "This is called a flight to safety."  Dow Jones Wire Service says: "Market participants are turning to gold as global stock bourses tumble amid on going worries about economic conditions."  Another trader describes gold as: "One of the few safe havens" where investors appear willing to put their money at the moment as global capital markets "implode". 

 

Given the severity of this credit crisis and the fact that equities are collapsing, investors should be moving at least a portion of their holdings to gold for safety.  Remember in the ultimate crisis, as former Fed Chairman Greenspan said, paper currencies are desired by no one, while everyone wants gold as the ultimate form of money.

Transaction costs are generally 5% to 10% on bullion and 30% to 35% on coins. This is also referred to as the spread, or the difference between the buy price and the sell price.
