From what I understood is the the ratio of 1 to 1 for Evergrande, but 30 to 1 for Lehman and most of US banks at the same time in 2007. When Lehman fell it triggered highly leveraged international derivative markets of ~ $2 Quadrillion. It was a total meltdown of the worldwide central banks until the US congress gave them the power to print $ as needed. It is still going on and there is no end to fix the $2 quadrillion hole.
It appears China is trying to make whole or at least partially for their domestic bond holders of Evergrande. We shall see if there is more mines. I think it is not going to be even close to what we saw back in 2007-9. Well...what do I know. |

"Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kirkland Lake Gold shareholders will receive 0.7935 of an Agnico Eagle common share for each Kirkland Lake Gold common share held (the “Consideration”). The Consideration to Kirkland Lake Gold represents approximately a 1% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average prices on the Toronto Stock Exchange, as at close of trading Friday September 24, 2021 and implies a combined market capitalization of approximately $24 billion. Upon closing, existing Agnico Eagle and Kirkland Lake Gold shareholders will own approximately 54% and 46% of the combined company, respectively."
Oh.. well.... At least, I didn't lose money (much smaller gain) with KL in this crappy gold market. |

From: bull_dozer | 10/4/2021 5:47:38 PM | | | | 'Bitcoin has effectively replaced gold' - Chamath Palihapitiya
Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya sees gold giving way to bitcoin.
Palihapitiya was interviewed by CNBC’s Scott Wapner at the Delivering Alpha conference on Wednesday.
Palihapitiya referenced gold when he was asked if he wanted to make a price prediction for bitcoin. CNBC said that Palihapitiya made predictions as high as $200,000 a bitcoin earlier in the year. Palihapitiya deferred on giving a number during the interview.
"It's very hard for me to give a price prediction, but I can pretty confidently say that bitcoin has effectively replaced gold," said Chamath.
"I can pretty confidently say that #bitcoin has effectively replaced gold," says @Chamath.
"And it will continue to do so... that market cap is just going to grow." #DeliveringAlpha pic.twitter.com/KFL4TywfD3 — Delivering Alpha (@DeliveringAlpha) September 29, 2021
