Not a day goes by without talk of the Federal Reserve, whether by the organization itself or by its opponents. An incessant cheerleader of his organization, Chairman Ben Bernanke will be the first to tell you that the Federal Reserve is an utmost necessity to the smooth operation of the U.S. financial system. Some would disagree. And while ongoing events can be difficult to objectively examine, hindsight is usually much more prescient.

Let’s set aside what The Fed says for a moment and examine what it actually does.

• From 1776 to 1912 (136 years), the value of the dollar, relative to the Consumer Price Index, increased by 11%. A dollar could buy 11% more goods in 1912 than in 1776. Thus, if in 1776, you sat on your savings pile of $1,000,000 for 136 years, it would then be worth $1,110,000 in purchasing power (it will have appreciated in value by 11%). A loaf of bread for Thomas Jefferson cost the same as a loaf of bread for Lincoln 50 years later and again the same for J.P. Morgan 50 years after that.

• The United States Federal Reserve System was created in 1913. The stated purpose of the Fed, by the definition taken from its own website, is to "conduct the nation’s monetary policy by influencing money and credit conditions in the economy in pursuit of full employment and stable prices." Note that "stable prices" is another way of saying "stable dollar," they are two sides of the same coin (couldn’t resist the pun).

• After the Fed’s creation, from 1913 to 2008 (95 years), the value of the dollar, relative to the Consumer Price Index, decreased by 95%. A dollar could buy 95% fewer goods in 2008 than in 1913. Thus, if in 1913, you sat on your savings pile of $1,000,000 for 95 years, it would then be worth only $50,000 in purchasing power (it will have depreciated in value by 95%). One would now need to pay about 20X more than J.P. Morgan for one’s bread. Ask my mother how much the price of milk has increased just in the last ten years alone.

Four Fascinating Facts on Gold

bySean Brodrick on August 14, 2009

The recent rally in the U.S. dollar has sent gold lower, dimming the hopes of gold bulls and putting fire in the bellies of those who say the yellow metal is just a “barbarous relic.” Maybe so. But I think the rally in the dollar is overstated, and gold is just taking a breather on a journey much higher.

To be sure, I have a bullish bias on gold … only because I see the mountainous long-term problems for the U.S. dollar getting bigger. As the dollar goes down, gold, which is priced in dollars, should go up. And the point is, what I’m really biased toward is making money. If I thought gold’s bull run was over, I’d go make money somewhere else.

Here are four facts on my radar … facts you might want to consider in your own judgment on gold …

Fact #1: Gold’s Bullish Season Is Approaching. Let me show you a seasonal chart of gold. It shows that, over the long term, the yellow metal usually puts in its lowest price performance in the summer months, then it takes off when the weather cools off.

But what about more recent performance? Well, it turns out since the start of the big gold bull market in 2001, gold has put in its worst months in the summer. Its biggest rallies come in the third and fourth quarters of the year …

The autumn months are usually a very bullish time for gold … and for the miners that dig up the precious metal. We’re coming into that time of year now, and many cheap gold mining stocks probably are going to get more expensive.

Fact #2: Central Banks Are Selling Less, Not More, Gold. Last week, I told you that net official gold sales have plunged — totaling 39 metric tonnes, down a whopping 73 percent year-on-year. A one-time fluke? Not likely!

Going forward, the signatories to Europe’s Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) have decided to sell LESS gold, not more. The banks have signed a new five-year agreement, lowering the annual limit on gold they could sell to 400 tonnes reducing the banks’ sales quotas by 100 metric tonnes a year. Any sales by the International Monetary Fund will be part of this limit. The IMF is planning to sell 403 metric tonnes over two to three years.

Fact #3: Producers Continue to De-Hedge. “Hedging” is when gold producers sell their gold production forward, locking in a price. They do it when they think prices are going lower. The last few years have seen gold producers de-hedge, or buy back their forward sales, at a furious pace, as they think gold prices are going higher.

Since many existing large hedge positions are already wound down, most analysts thought we wouldn’t see much more unwinding of hedge books. But the latest report from BNP Paribas Fortis Hedging and Financial Gold Report show that global gold hedge positions dropped by a larger-than-expected 1.2 million ounces (37 tonnes) in the second quarter of this year.

Most of the hedge-book unwinding came from AngloGold Ashanti (AU), which bought back 650,000 ounces in the second quarter and also announced it had reduced its forward sales by another 740,000 ounces in July after the end of the quarter.

A total of 31 companies reduced their gold hedge books in the second quarter.

Obviously, major producers don’t think gold prices are too high. Indeed, they’re positioning themselves to ride gold prices higher.

Fact #4: A Shortage of New Discoveries. Since 2000, the gold price has risen more than $600, yet the actual amount of gold produced has declined almost every year since then.

In fact, output dropped from 2,478 metric tonnes in 2007 to 2,416 metric tonnes in 2008, according to the GFMS consultancy, a London-based research group that serves gold mining companies and supplies the World Gold Council with its data.

Looking ahead, GFMS says that gold production will fall AGAIN this year to 2,302 metric tonnes.

It’s not for lack of looking. There are more than 2,000 junior mining and exploration companies listed around the world. Most are looking for gold. Maybe 1 percent of them are going to find a deposit that actually makes good money. The problem is simply that most of the large deposits that are cheap to mine have already been found.

Where Will Gold Go Next?

Not everything is bullish for gold. Many economic indicators are still pointing toward deflation, and most troubling is that gold ETFs are turning into net sellers of gold. But I think part of that is that investors are growing wary of paper gold. In these troubled times — and despite the big fat bonuses on Wall Street, things are only getting worse on Main Street — people take comfort in owning physical gold … and silver, too.

I was disappointed to see gold fail to break out above $1,000 recently, but a light-volume pullback isn’t that big of a worry for me. Gold is testing support around $942. If that breaks, there is further support around $927.50. Now THAT would be an interesting “zag” in gold’s big zig-zag path higher. If gold gets below $930, I think we could see buyers come out in force.

So, bring on a pullback in gold. Heck, get it down to $900 or even lower. That just gives people like me — investors with an eye on the long-term — a chance to scoop up gold at better prices.

And that goes double for the shares of great mining stocks. Sure, make them as cheap as possible — all the better to buy them on the cheap in the short-term. In the long-term, they’re probably going much higher.
