Pour les amateurs de minières...



Les grands mineurs de demain sont les petites exploratrices d’aujourd’hui. A suivre avec attention... deux sociétés dans l’or, une dans le zinc et une dans le fer.

Brazilian Gold : gisements d’or sur les bords du fleuve Tapajos en Amazonie. Selon Brazilian Gold, la zone du Tapajos est la future grande région aurifère mondiale et son destin ressemblera aux régions de l’Afrique de l’ouest d’aujourd’hui, l’Australie il y à 50 ans ou l’Afrique du Sud il y a 100 ans. Seuls 10% du territoire de Brazilian Gold sont en cours de sondage et un premier gisement de 1,5 million d’onces serait bientôt confirmé, sur les autres propriétés les estimations tournent autour de 2 à 3 millions d’onces. L’or est peu profond (mine à ciel ouvert), il y a un aéroport et une route « en dur », l’électricité est de source hydro et coute 5,5c$/Kwh. Le coût d’exploitation futur se situerait aux environs de 650 dollars l’once. Si ces analyses se confirmaient, ce n’est que du bonheur car l’idée est de vendre la propriété à un mineur. Justement, Eldorado Gold est un voisin et aurait déjà un œil sur la propriété.

Freegold Ventures : gisements d’or en Alaska.Ce sont trois gisements d’or que Freegold Ventures explore. L’un est situé à 8km de la mine FortKnox de Kinross, l’autre à 32km de la mine Pogo de Sumitomo et le dernier est plus sauvage. Deux millions d’onces sont déjà classés en réserves sur les deux premières propriétés, d’autres évaluations les estimeraient au double. Les mines seront à ciel ouvert et la stratégie est de valoriser le plus possible de réserves puis de vendre, peut-être aux deux mines voisines.

Selwyn un gisement de zinc dans le Yukon. L’intérêt est évidemment la tension qui se prépare sur le marché du zinc. Dans les prochaines années, l’attrition des gisements mondiaux de zinc provoquera la fermeture d’un nombre de mines plus important que le chiffre des ouvertures de nouvelles mines. Les prix du zinc seront en hausse car la demande de ce métal ne faiblira ni dans les applications galvanisées , 50% de la demande dans l’automobile et le bâtiment , ni dans les autres applications (moulage, alliage, chimie). Cette dynamique n’a pas échappé à la société chinoise Yunnan Chihong qui a déjà saisi 50% de la future production

Alderon un gisement de fer au Labrador.Inutile de revenir sur le dynamisme des cours du minerai de fer, avec le charbon, ce sont les deux ressources naturelles qui souffrent le moins de la crise. Les nouveaux projets indépendants des trois grands - BHP, Rio, Vale - sont rares. Au-delà de cet aspect unique, Alderon mérite un regard soutenu car c’est un projet situé dans une région productrice de fer au milieu de mines d’ArcelorMittal, de Rio Tinto et de Cliffs. Le projet disposera d’un prix d’électricité de 4c/kwh. Il est à proximité d’une ligne de chemin de fer disposant de capacités disponibles et débouchant sur trois ports au Québec. A ce jour les gisements sont supputés supérieurs au milliard de tonnes et d’une teneur élevée. Le coût de production est estimé aux environs de 45$ la tonne alors que le minerai de fer s’échange entre 150$ et 180$/tonne.

Google map ...? oui mais il y a la photorealistic !



Apple serait bien l'acquéreur de C3 Technologies, une entreprise suédoise spécialisée dans la production de cartes géographiques 3D photoréalistes. 9to5Mac ne donne pas de détails sur la nature de ses sources, mais il affirme avoir obtenu confirmation de ce rachat par la Pomme.


Une potentiel publicitaire énorme !

Piper Jaffray‘s Analyst Gene Munster today writes about the results of a survey he conducted of technology chiefs at U.S. K through 12 schools and their attitude toward Apple‘s iPad, which showed some ambitious plans for the tablet and little support for competing slates based on Google’s Android. “100% of respondents are testing or deploying iPads in their schools; no respondents indicated that they are testing or deploying Android tablets.

“Within the next 5 years, our respondents expect to have more tablets per student than they currently have computers.”

Honda...ça va ?

HMC.nyse

Cars submerged in floodswaters at a Honda Motor Co. car factory outside the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok Oct. 11, 2011. Honda, which made more than 170,000 cars in Thailand last year, scrapped its full-year forecasts as it reels from a disaster that’s inundated 10,000 factories and flooded more than 80 percent of Thailand’s 77 provinces since July.

Honda Motor Co., Japan’s third- largest carmaker, reported second-quarter profit that missed analysts’ estimates and withdrew its forecasts after flooding in Thailand crippled its production in Southeast Asia.
Net income was 60.4 billion yen ($761 million) in the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with 135.9 billion yen a year earlier, the company said in a statement. That missed the 66.1 billion yen average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.

Exemple:

....Imaginez un instant qu'une compagnie Chinoise mette la main sur St-Hubert BBQ !

Le drame national!!!!

En Mai dernier , Yum! Brands a donner son intention d'acheter la chaîne de restaurant chinoise

"Little Sheep " .........oups !

Les bridés n'aiment pas que les étrangers "taponnent" dans leurs "patrimoine".....

Little Sheep Group Ltd , China's largest hotpot restaurant chain, received a notice from the Ministry of Commerce that the antimonopoly review of Yum! Brands Inc's (NYSE: YUM) takeover of it will be delayed for 60 calendar days.
Yum agreed in May 2011 to acquire Little Sheep for HK$4.56 billion, and submitted the plan to the Ministry of Commerce for antimonopoly review, which was formally accepted on June 27.
There have been worries that the ministry would block the deal to prevent a likely monopolistic positioning of Yum in the Chinese fast food market.
The delay stoked uncertainty over the deal, weighing on Little Sheep's shares that closed down 13% on Wednesday to the lowest point since the deal was announced in May. Yum declined to comment.
According to China's Antitrust Law, the first-phase assessment of a case lasts up to 30 calendar days, and if necessary, the Ministry of Commerce could opt for a second phase lasting up to 90 calendar days; and if necessary, the 90 days could be extended for an additional 60 calendar days. The 90-day second-phase assessment of the Little Sheep case ended on October 25.
"The delay does not mean the deal will not be allowed to proceed," Wang Zhile, head of the Multinational Corporations Research Center of the Commerce Ministry, told the 21st Century Business Herald. "Perhaps more documents are required to be handed over."
An analyst with a foreign-funded securities brokerage said that the Ministry of Commerce might need to take a longer period to assess this case due to scarce data for the hotpot industry.
Yum currently operates some 3,200 KFC restaurants, 500 Pizza Hut restaurants and 100 delivery stores in China; its revenue from the country was ¥33.6 billion last year. Little Sheep has almost 300 restaurants and posted ¥2 billion in revenues in 2010. Their revenue combined accounted for just 2% of dining-out receipts in China, according to Pei Liang, secretary-general of the China Chain Store & Franchise Association.

Si ça passe...YUM est un strong buy aggresive....


People in the US and UK are obese–or at least many people are.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is exploring security systems that would permit employees to use as many as 100,000 mobile devices, including Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPad and phones using Google Inc. (GOOG)’s Android, without endangering the privacy of sensitive information.

VA officials are researching “mobile device management” services that will protect e-mail and control access to agency computer networks for people using smartphones and tablet computers, according to a VA request for information issued last week and updated today. “We want to make sure that veteran information is protected while still enabling productivity enhancing applications,” Roger Baker, the agency’s chief information officer, said in an e-mailed statement.

The VA’s decision may open a new market for Apple, which has until now lagged behind competitors Dell Inc. (DELL) and Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM) in selling technology to the government. The VA is looking for technology that would allow its employees to use as many as 100,000 iPads and iPhones within 18 months, including a mix of government-owned and personal mobile devices.

mauvais timing




W.Tilson a été "short" sur NFLX à 178.50$ à la mi-décembre 2010....voilà qu'il a perdu beaucoup car le stock était à plus de 300$ 6 mois plus tard....obligé de se couvrir....Aujourd'hui il avait un message ....

“it’s been frustrating to see our original investment thesis validated, yet not profit from it. It certainly highlights the importance of getting the timing right and maintaining your conviction even when the market moves against you. The core of our short thesis was always Netflix’s high valuation. In light of the stock’s collapse, we now think it’s cheap and today established a small long position. We hope it gets cheaper so we can add to it.”

ça passe où ça....



Les dirigeants de la zone euro se retrouvent aujourd'hui en sommet, sous la pression du monde entier, pour boucler un plan permettant d'enrayer la crise de la dette et de sauver la monnaie commune.

Les chefs d'Etat et de gouvernement des 27 pays de l'Union européenne se réunissent d'abord à partir de 18H00 à Bruxelles pour parler de la recapitalisation des banques. Objectif: leur permettre d'amortir le choc d'un défaut de paiement de la Grèce.....ensuite les dirigeants des 17 pays de la seule zone euro se retrouveront en conclave, jusque sans doute très tard dans la nuit.

e-commerce China



Turnover of e-commerce transactions in China amounted to ¥1.8 trillion in the third quarter of this year, up 47.6% from a year earlier and up 9.1% from a quarter earlier, according to iResearch, a consultancy.
Behind the robust growth was the summer vacation and the Mid Autumn Festival, which have fueled online bookings for hotels and air tickets, and e-commerce websites which have made special offers available between July and September, iResearch said.
Online shopping receipts rose 73.4% year on year and 11.5% quarter on quarter to ¥197.51 billion in the third quarter, iResearch added.
Online shopping receipts are expected to grow between 15% and 20% or up to ¥230 billion during the fourth quarter, with the value of B2B deals - which were up 40.3% year on year and 8% quarter on quarter to ¥3.48 billion in the third quarter - to exceed ¥4 billion, iResearch predicted.

L "Amazon" `Chinois est possiblement le pire IPO des dernières années . Les dernières statistiques de iResearch est la lumière au bout du tunnel pour les actionnaires qui ont cru dans cette compagnie.....une parcelle d'espoir.

La pillule...



Vous avez un problème de cholestérol et vous voulez continuer à manger ma délicieuse pizza "gerry spéciale"...full péppé et bacon ? No problemas!



La pillule du future arrive ! ( dans 10-15 ans)...laissons les hamsters travailler d'ici là....

Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ: SPEX) announced that SPX-106T (the combination of D-tagatose and SPX-106) reduced dyslipidemia in new studies of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice and Syrian Golden hamsters. This finding corroborates data obtained in LDL receptor-deficient mice (see Spherix press release of September 8, 2011). Additionally, a new study in rats demonstrates that D-tagatose inhibits fructose absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, providing further insight into the mechanism of action of SPX-106T.SPX-106T significantly reduced VLDL and LDL cholesterol in LDL receptor-deficient mice fed normal chow. In apolipoprotein E-deficient mice fed a Western (high fat/high carbohydrate) diet, SPX-106T significantly reduced serum cholesterol by 30% (-307 mg/dl; p<0.05), prevented body weight gain (p<0.05), and significantly reduced the amount of subcutaneous, retroperitoneal, and epididymal fat (77, 90, 85% reductions, respectively, p<0.01) (see photo). SPX-106T did not affect the weight of other organs (heart, spleen, etc.). A recent range-finding dose study in hamsters fed the same Western diet and given SPX-106T provided evidence that the combination was effective in reducing serum triglycerides.

YAHOOGLE




La liste des candidats s'allonge et c'est maintenant Google qui serait entré dans la course au rachat de Yahoo!. Selon le site Internet du « Wall Street Journal », le moteur de recherche aurait entamé des discussions préliminaires avec deux fonds d'investissement pour participer à la reprise du portail.

Google ne souhaiterait pas financer seul ce rachat, alors que la capitalisation de Yahoo! dépasse aujourd'hui les 20 milliards de dollars sur le Nasdaq. Cette transaction pourrait attirer l'attention des autorités de régulation, alors que Google est déjà accusé de position dominante dans la recherche sur Internet. En Europe, il concentre environ 90 % des requêtes, tandis qu'aux Etats-Unis sa part de marché est de 65 % et celle de Yahoo! de 16 %. Dans la publicité « display » (bannières et vidéos), le poids de Google augmente également, notamment avec le développement de l'offre sur YouTube, tandis que Yahoo! a perdu sa place de numéro un du secteur au profit de Facebook cette année.
La semaine dernière, la presse américaine affirmait que 9 sociétés de capital-investissement au moins étudiaient les possibilités de rachat de Yahoo et certaines rumeurs parlent de 24.00$ l'action.

Japan 's exports rose for a second straight month in September , showing a recovery is underway from the tsunami disaster even as manufacturers face a strong yen and weak global economy.
The Finance Ministry said Monday that exports rose 2.4 per cent from a year earlier in September . Exports had declined for five months in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated industry in northeast Japan .
