Is Gold Overbought?

Market is rife with the news about rising gold prices every day. In one of my previous posts I had discussed reasons responsible for rising gold. There is no foolproof methodology for determining whether this yellow metal is overbought or not as it is determined by demand & supply scenario.

But gold holds an empirical relationship with crude.

Gold prices are expressed in dollars per troy ounce. (1 troy ounce = 31.1 grams) while crude prices are denoted in dollars per barrel.

The ratio of gold price to crude price has been found to settle around 15.

By this time spot gold is trading at 1691 $ per ounce while Nynex crude is hovering around 95 $ per barrel.

This gives gold to crude ratio as 17.8.

Gold prices are also juxtaposed against silver prices. Gold to silver price ratio have been found to hover in the 50-60 range.

Presently silver is trading at 32 $ per ounce and this give the aforesaid ratio as 52.84.

Gold is rising in the hope of stimulus package from the US Federal Reserve under which US fed pumps money in the economy (by buying bonds) to stimulate the fledgling US economy mired under the huge debt better termed as Quantitative Easing (QE).

This excess money flows into commodities especially gold as it used as a hedge against the inflation resulting in higher gold prices.

But following a severe reprimand from Republicans it will not be easy for the US fed to go with its stimulus programme.

If US Fed fails to implement the QE3 gold may see a decline.

Team Work - Meaning and Tips for better Team Work

A single brain is not always capable of making key decisions on its own. To come up with an efficient solution, an individual requires the help and advice of others. A team is established when individuals get together on a common platform with the common goal of completing a task. To guarantee optimum compatibility, team members should ideally come from similar backgrounds and have a single aim. To provide their best, the team members must complement each other and function as a single unit in tight cooperation. "There is no I in Team Work," as the saying goes, and each member must put the needs of his team first. Personal interests must take a second seat. Any team's performance is directly proportionate to the relationship between its members and their combined efforts. What is the definition of teamwork? Teamwork is defined as the sum of each team member's efforts toward the fulfilment of the team's goal. In other words, any team's backbone is its ability t

Scientists discover a new theory / The fundamental property of light – 150 years after Maxwell

Light plays a vital role in our everyday lives and technologies based on light are all around us. So we might expect that our understanding of light is pretty settled. But scientists have just uncovered a new fundamental property of light that gives new insight into the 150-year-old classical theory of electromagnetism and which could lead to applications manipulating light at the nanoscale. It is unusual for a pure-theory physics paper to make it into the journal Science. So when one does, it’s worth a closer look. In the new study, researchers bring together one of physics' most venerable set of equations – those of James Clerk’s Maxwell’s famous theory of light – with one of the hot topics in modern solid-state physics: the quantum spin Hall effect and topological insulators . To understand what the fuss is about, let’s first consider the behaviour of electrons in the quantum spin Hall effect. Electrons possess an intrinsic spin as if they were tiny spinning-tops,
