      Deutsches Gold: Bundesbank verwickelt sich in neue Widerspru…

      von Peter Boehringer E-Mail 07.01.14 23:27:59

      Ein wichtiger und ganz aktueller Update-Blog zu diesem leidigen Dauerthema der höchst unzureichend geprüften Goldbestände der Bundesbank im Ausland (ebenso wie im Inland!). Der öffentliche Druck nahm nach der hoch verdächtigen BuBa-BILD-Meldung vom 23.12.2013 zur Einschmelzung und Rückholung (man beachte die Reihenfolge) von 37 Tonnen offenbar erheblich zu, so dass die BuBa nun heute am 7.1. (widerwillig und offenbar gereizt, dazu s.u.) eine Anfrage der Wirtschaftswoche öffentlich beantworten musste, warum denn nicht die US-Originalbarren nach Deutschland geliefert wurden – sondern stattdessen erst eingeschmolzen wurde und dann nach Deutschland verbracht. Zur Erinnerung: genau so und mit dieser Ablauf-Reihenfolge stand es (vermutlich von der Zensur übersehen) in der von der Bundesbank am 23.12. per BILD lancierten Meldung - die auch auf explizite Nachfrage des Investigativ-Journalisten Lars Schall nicht dementiert wurde:

      „Eine Sicherheitsfirma ließ einen Teil der Goldbarren einschmelzen, transportierte sie [dann] per Flugzeug und Lkw nach Frankfurt.“ :eek:

      Hier kann man sehen wie schwer es ist wenn man in unwirtlichen Gegenden nach Edelmetalle exploriert: So wird es den Miners von McEwen Mining bestimmt auch manchml gehen.

      Mining's golden boy

      Ian Ball, 32, was just promoted to president of McEwen Mining Inc. in aging world of mining.


      Bernard Weil/The Toronto Star
      While young executives are common in the tech world, 32-year-old Ian Ball, president of McEwen Mining, is a rarity in his industry.

      By: Lisa Wright Business Reporter, Published on Tue Dec 31 2013

      When Ian Ball was 5, he earned an allowance moving rocks from the lawn of his Bowmanville, Ont., home back onto the gravel driveway for his parents.

      It turned out to be quite a training ground.

      Lately, the 32 year old has been spotted driving a 100-tonne haul truck at the silver mine he discovered in Mexico, and the Bay St. hotshot makes a nice allowance for his work in this field, too.

      But the road from junior rock picker to the top floor of Brookfield Place as the new president of McEwen Mining Inc. took a number of twists and turns — not the least of which is that he never planned on getting into the gritty gold mining game in the first place.

      “I was a horrible student. I barely graduated high school,” Ball recalls candidly in an interview, impeccably dressed in a dark grey suit and golden yellow tie with his hair perfectly slicked back.

      He’d also been fired from every other job he’s had prior to working for Canadian gold mining legend Rob McEwen in 2004. Of course, he was just a kid then, working the floor at Zellers and Esprit.

      Ball notes the problem was that he simply didn’t respect his other bosses. But that would change dramatically when he was working on his commerce degree at Ryerson University and read an article in a business magazine about his future employer.

      “Rob’s a genius. I have the utmost respect for him. A lot of this (success) is due to him,” says Ball, who had some luck investing in penny mining stocks after high school on the recommendation of a close family friend.

      The future tycoon was fascinated by how McEwen, founder of Goldcorp Inc., recognized the untapped potential of the old Red Lake mine in Northern Ontario and made his fortune turning his business into one of the top gold mining companies in the world.

      So Ball finagled an impromptu meeting with the renowned entrepreneur in the lobby of Goldcorp’s former King St. W. office — “I kind of stalked him,” he jokes — and then tracked his presentation schedule until he finally got to hand him his resume plus a study he did on the Toronto firm in his spare time.

      Ball landed an interview and the mining magnate — who prides himself on cultivating young talent in the aging industry — offered him a job on the spot. Ball paid his dues doing basic office tasks in investor relations and even a stint underground at Red Lake.

      “He literally learned the business from the ground up,” says Michael Melanson, a lawyer at Bennett Jones, who was legal counsel to Goldcorp back then.

      “I remember we were trying to get out a press release and he had to figure out how to issue it. It was basically a clerical function, but you could see he had an attitude of willingness and determination,” he says.

      No one bats an eye if a 32 year old heads up a tech company, but it’s rare in the mining world, where the average age is 50-plus, notes Melanson, saying it speaks to both Ball’s talent and McEwen’s foresight.

      Not long after Ball started at Goldcorp, he found himself flying around the world to mine sites and going to board meetings, basically shadowing his mentor and soaking in as much about the business as he could.

      “I learned a lot listening to Rob. I have a high degree of trust with him. I’m very grateful for that.

      “And I love mining. I love gold. Mining is something I am passionate about,” he says.

      The serious work ethic and can-do attitude wasn’t evident, though, when he was growing up. After high school, he didn’t find much success in Durham College’s business program, where he admits he lacked direction and didn’t put in the effort.

      Ball was determined to turn that around when he got to Ryerson, where he buckled down and graduated with the highest grade point average in his class.

      “I wasn’t there to party,” Ball says.

      “He went from being unmotivated and not knowing where he was going to this driven and goal-oriented person who finished at the top of his class,” says longtime friend Keith Binns, who went to Durham College with Ball.

      He jokes that his pal pretty much got his MBA through McEwen.

      “I’m not the smartest person, I’m just a hard worker,” Ball explains, noting that he sticks by the motto of being the first one in the office and the last one to leave, typically working 12-hour days.

      His boss has no regrets taking on the green go-getter.

      “Ian is a very focused, quick study with insights and business judgment well beyond his years. He has brought innovations, hard work, effective teamwork, and clear thinking to his projects,” says McEwen.

      When McEwen left Goldcorp in 2005 and launched U.S. Gold Corp. and Lexam Explorations, Ball naturally followed and worked his way up the ladder on the all-important exploration front.

      His mentor gave him $3 million to explore in Mexico, and by the time he was just 26, Ball made a significant silver discovery called El Gallo 2, where his youth paid off in the unconventional methods he used to find the precious metal deposit.

      First, he motivated local prospectors by giving them stock options and $1,000 bonuses whenever they found metal equal in value on the property — a practice unheard of in an industry set in its ways.

      The self-described penny pincher also incorporated cheaper drilling techniques and updated the assay lab so they could get drill results back right away.

      “We did things differently in order to make this discovery and there are many opportunities to innovate in mining still,” he says, looking over at the shiny silver rock sample that sits in his office.

      “The mining industry is so slow. It’s like having your feet in cement.

      “We need to fundamentally change the industry. We have to think differently to expand our profit margins,” he says.

      He points to new innovations like electric rather than diesel haul trucks to cut mining costs in half and leave a smaller environmental footprint, and new processing technologies that will produce gold for less.

      McEwen also credits his protégé with leading the team that recently built the El Gallo 1 gold-silver mine five miles south of his El Gallo 2 discovery under budget and on schedule — a rarity in mine construction.

      “The results speak for themselves, so it was a natural progression to president to accelerate our growth,” notes McEwen.

      Indeed, while most miners are cutting back on exploration amid the metals market downturn, McEwen Mining continues to hunt for buried treasure while the rest of the industry sleeps, says Ball.

      Overseeing operations in different time zones, the workaholic executive says he can be found analyzing reports and expenses around the clock and negotiating contracts for everything from cyanide to explosives. He doesn’t go out much but makes sure he visits his mom back in Bowmanville for Sunday dinner.

      Since McEwen merged his junior mining interests into one company, it has gone from a penny stock to being listed on the New York Stock Exchange with a goal of being in the S&P 500. And it boasts one of the youngest mining executives on the TSX at the helm to boot.

      “To grow a company to this size has been quite a ride,” Ball says proudly.

      Diese Entscheidung wird m. E. recht gut für die Edelmetall-Minen sein.

      Es ist doch für die Edelmetallförderer viel günstiger wenn die Überschuldung bleibt und nur ganz zaghaft zurück geführt wird.

      Alle Edelmetalle werden in 2014 wieder davon profitieren.


      US-Notenbank Fed zieht die geldpolitischen Zügel an
      Von ANDREAS PLECKO

      Die US-Zentralbank hat die seit Wochen heiß debattierte Wende in der Geldpolitik eingeleitet. Nach einer zweitägigen Ratssitzung beschlossen die Währungshüter um ihren Chef Ben Bernanke, den Kauf von Wertpapieren um 10 Milliarden US-Dollar zu drosseln. Das Kaufvolumen für Hypothekenpapiere und Staatsanleihen sinkt um jeweils 5 Milliarden Dollar. Das Gesamtvolumen der monatlichen Käufe geht damit auf 75 Milliarden Dollar zurück. Im Kampf gegen die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise hatte die Fed seit Mitte 2008 die geldpolitischen Schleusen extrem weit geöffnet und insgesamt rund drei Billionen Dollar in den Wirtschaftskreislauf gepumpt.

      Dies hat mir heute ein Vogel ins Nest gelegt.


      Rob McEwen rät: Jetzt auf Explorationswerte achten
      Liebe Leser,

      nach einem harten Jahr für die Minenbranche ist es immer wieder spanend zu sehen, wie die großen Investoren aktuell die Marktlage einschätzen. Jetzt hat Rob McEwen seine aktuelle Markteinschätzung zu den Minenfirmen und zum Rohstoffmarkt allgemein in einem Interview geäußert.

      Die Kernaussagen von Rob McEwen werde ich Ihnen heute vorstellen – denn in der Vergangenheit hat er oft eine herausragende Stellung bei Trends eingenommen. Und ganz aktuell empfiehlt er auf jeden Fall auch die Explorationsfirmen im Auge zu behalten. Seiner Einschätzung nach wird der nächste Boom bei den Minenwerten von großen Entdeckungen getrieben werden.

      Und damit stellt er sich nahezu komplett gegen den Mainstream derzeit. Im Grunde schaut kaum jemand auf Explorationsaktien. Das liegt schlicht und einfach daran, dass selbst die Produzenten aktuell massiv unter Kursverlusten leiden. Daher scheuen sich viele Investoren überhaupt bei den kleineren Firmen zu schauen.

      Und für die Masse der kleinen Rohstofffirmen ist es auch wirklich schwierig Kapital anzuziehen und die Entwicklung der Vorkommen voranzutreiben. So verfügen viele Firmen in Vancouver nur noch über Cashreserven von weniger als 500.000 Dollar - das reicht gerade einmal aus , um die administrativen Kosten für Personal und das Börsenlisting zu bezahlen. An eigene Explorationsprogramme ist dabei gar nicht zu denken.

      Bezogen auf Gold empfiehlt McEwen genau zu schauen, was die Notenbanken machen: Und hier tauchen die Notenbanken rund um den Globus als Käufer von Gold am Markt auf und nicht als Verkäufer. Dies ist auch nur logisch, denn die Notenbanken sind darauf aus im aktuellen Umfeld des billigen Geldes ihre Basis zu stärken. Und dafür ist Gold bestens geeignet.

      McEwen sagt: „Aktien sind allgemein überbewertet und Gold ist unterbewertet“
      Auch hält McEwen es für gut möglich, dass Investoren ein Teil des Kapitals vom hochbewerteten Aktienmarkt abziehen und in das relativ gesehen unterbewertete Gold stecken. Immerhin hat der Goldpreis allein in diesem Jahr um 25% nachgegeben. Damit können wir uns jetzt schon auf das erste Minusjahr beim Gold seit 2001 einstellen.

      Aber McEwen hat auch praktische Tipps für Investoren parat. Auf die Frage, was denn Erfolg und den Aufbau von Reichtum wirklich ausmacht, antwortet McEwen: „Man braucht ein ordentliches Maß an Mut und darf nicht einfach nur der Masse folgen. Wenn man nur das macht, was alle anderen machen, wird man langfristig nirgendwo hinkommen.“

      Wer also jetzt beim Gold einsteigt, stellt sich auf jeden Fall gegen die Masse, die aktuell das Edelmetall meidet. Aber das allein ist noch nicht der Schlüsse zum Erfolg. „Man braucht auch etwas Glück“, ergänzt McEwen dann noch. Das kann man bekanntlich nicht erzwingen – aber für 2014 auf jeden Fall erhoffen.

      Erfolgreiche Investments

      wünscht Ihnen

      Rob McEwen: “The Next Run Will Be Driven By Gold Moving Higher, As Well As New Discoveries”

      Thursday December 12, 2013 12:08



      During a time of continued stagnation in both share prices and sentiment in the mining sector, Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner of McEwen Mining, was kind enough to share a few comments.

      Of particular interest to investors, Rob noted that the next move higher for the sector will likely be driven by a combination of rising gold prices, combined with new discoveries. The mantra of “growth for growth’s sake” is still alive according to Rob, but the companies who implement “big data” within their operations will likely generate better returns for investors going forward.

      Here is his full interview commentary with Bull Market Thinking’s Tekoa Da Silva:

      Tekoa Da Silva: Rob, I remember during the summer months the team there at McEwen Mining began adding language into company statements which basically read, “We’re looking to put together smart deals with other companies and if you’ve got something in mind, give us a call.”

      Based on the feedback in response to that announcement, what would you say is the willingness out there right now in the marketplace in terms of people coming together to assemble unorthodox types of deals?

      Rob McEwen: We received a number of suggestions from our shareholders, from general investors, and institutional investors. In many instances, the people making the suggestions were already shareholders of the companies they were suggesting we look at.

      In some cases, I would say more institutional investors than retail were looking for large premiums over the current market to put the company together which was more than we wanted to do, [but suggestions are] still coming in. So the call for ideas I think was a very useful exercise. There’s certainly a wide array of companies out there and we haven’t quite fixated on one at the moment, but we’re still looking.

      TD: Do you feel the longstanding ideas and philosophies that got some of the big mining companies into trouble—are those still being clung on to right now to the detriment of some of those companies?

      RM: Well, the concept of growth—while everybody might talk about growth, the big question is “How are they going to finance it?” That’s throughout the industry [right now]. So it’s somewhat putting a cap on the growth of the industry because there’s [limited] access to capital and it’s much more difficult today, but the mantra of growth for growth’s sake, it’s still alive and kicking in the industry. [Otherwise], everybody is looking for a very conservative way to play the market which I think might be misguided.

      People are looking at cash flow and margins. The next run in this market is going to be gold moving higher, but it’s also going to be lifted by discoveries and in this type of market, people are saying, “Oh, I don’t want to look at exploration.” But I think right now that’s when you should be looking [at it] because there are going to be some good stories and that’s what has pulled companies out of the doldrums before and they will do it again.

      TD: Rob, considering the rhetoric by some of these companies of things like, “Hey, we’re going to shed our non-core assets”—is value starting to sort of ‘sprinkle down’ into the mid-tier and junior sector, maybe from the majors that are looking to get rid of things?

      RM: There are some interesting deals starting to be done [as] we’re in a market where doing a cash deal to buy an asset is [becoming] quite difficult. So people are taking back shares of companies to execute a sale, to get some of their more marginal assets [sold] off.

      Some of the big company sales probably have large company overhead on those assets as well. So they could be attractive to an intermediate or a junior where it runs a much leaner operation. It doesn’t have to have heavy overlay that comes with large companies. So yes, there will be opportunity in this market.

      TD: Rob, you’ve also spoken in the past about pushing your management team to think outside of the box. I would think especially so, here in this down market. What sort of ways have you been continuing to think on that aspect and of course adding encouragement there?

      RM: When you’re pressed against the wall, and you’re feeling you don’t have a lot of access to capital, you start reevaluating everything you’re doing. Everybody in the industry is I think doing it right now.

      Scarcity is the mother of invention. So in terms of innovation, you look at all of your costs in saying, “Can we build something for less?” And the market is accommodating that right now [as] with the downturn in activity, if you want to do exploration, your assay times are shorter, and a couple of the areas where we’ve gone in and tried to improve the timeframe say for getting a permit, for drilling. We’ve gone in and rather than taking a bulldozer and clearing a road through a forest and carving out a drill pad, we started getting drills that we can break down and the parts could be carried in and assembled on site. It’s [also] something like an above ground swimming pool to hold all of the drilling fluids that are coming out of the process rather than digging a large hole in the ground and having a lot of remediation to do to the site.

      So there’s that element on exploration and if you can [reduce] time on your permitting applications—we’ve been quite successful recently getting permits in Mexico where we’ve submitted it and usually you have it come back and you have to address this and this.

      Recently, we got our permit on our first application [submission]. So [this market] is cutting out time and expense. That’s part of the push, saying, “How can we do this better?” and I think everybody is out there now looking under every rock, trying to figure out where they can find some money that they might be able [to use] to advance the project.

      [Even] if you get the money, you don’t necessarily want to build the mine in this type of market environment…you need quite a positive outlook to build right now.

      TD: Have you seen this sort of rush towards efficiency in the past, maybe in previous bottoms whether it be in 1991 or 2000—the ‘scramble to save’ if you could put it that way?

      RM: Absolutely. It’s a repeat and the other aspect of the period, is you will see a number of mines that have been built that aren’t performing to the levels that were promised. There was a big article in The Northern Miner in the early 90’s where they talked about all the mines that were operating well below expectations, that were built when there was a flush of money that came through the system [along with] shortages of most inputs.

      These plants were built and they didn’t perform up to the level expected, then their values went down and people picked them up, [so] that was a good time to enter the market if you’re a mining company picking up assets much cheaper than they were a couple of years earlier.

      TD: Rob, is it usually younger management teams maybe without the firsthand experience that seem to make those decisions, to put those projects into production or is there usually a paradigm of “Well, things are different this time because of the ‘New Age’ or because of the ‘new economy,’ etc.?” Is that what usually gets people into trouble?

      RM: I won’t put it down to age and inexperience. I’ll put it down to the call of the market and the readily available capital. In 05’, 06’, parts of ’07, all you needed to do was have gold in your company name and you could raise money. Investors were very eager, anxious to have exposure to the mining industry and that lead to probably some inefficient allocations of capital, and gave the impression to the developing world that had welcomed mining in, that these foreign investors had unlimited amounts of capital.

      Now we’re feeling the pain and the governments of those countries are sort of making policies based on – it’s like they’re driving their car but they’re driving it by looking in their rearview mirror. They’re looking at the prices that were [of] a couple years ago for the metals and they were looking at this rush of money [coming] in – [and] they’re now levying taxes that will ensure that the amount of investment going into their country slows dramatically.

      TD: Would that suggest it would be best to wait for desperation to set back into many of those countries in order for them to call the capital back with more accommodative policies? Is it desperation that will do that, you think?

      RM: Yes. I mean right now we have poor equity markets and rising levels of taxation all around the world. Even if someone wanted to build a mine, and they [were subjected] to the tax, they can’t get the capital. So somewhere in the not too distant future, these jurisdictions are going to go, “What happened to those crazy foreigners with the bags of money?” They’re not buying up the property and we’ve just built up all of our infrastructure to handle them and we’re looking for their tax revenues and they’ve disappeared. So it will take a couple more years before they turn around their policies and say, “Maybe we have to be more accommodating and compel this money to come back here.”

      TD: In previous times that we’ve spoken Rob, you’ve mentioned that when it comes to philosophical change in the mining industry, it’s like putting your feet into a bucket of wet cement in terms of how slowly it moves.

      But then we’ve got extremely fast moving financial markets where the shares can rally 50% to 100% within 30 days or less. So when you look at the juxtaposition of that slowness against the speed, how quickly can things turn around or how quickly can the light switches get turned back on again when we start to come out of this based on your experience?

      RM: It can be very quick. I’ll give an example. We hit lows in July of this year and then in the month of August, metal prices turned around. The price of gold was going up but the mining stocks just took off. There were gains of 25%, 75%, 100% in the sector in the space of less than 20 days.

      It wasn’t sustained unfortunately, but to me, that’s illustrating how we can move from a market that is operating basically on a no-bid basis, [where] no one wants to buy, to suddenly getting into a space where no one is offering any stock and the prices are forced up as a result of that. I’m quite convinced we’re going to see that again in the not too distant future and that’s what makes it exciting in this space.

      TD: If I can ask you about gold Rob—what are your thoughts at this stage?

      RM: Parts of the world are still buying gold. Russia is still buying gold and they publish their gold reserves monthly. China is still buying gold. There’s a lot of gold going through Hong Kong and through Mainland China.

      Countries with large dollar reserves are using some of those reserves to buy gold and you have to say,“Well, why are they buying gold?” Large Central Banks aren’t selling their gold. The U.S. hasn’t been selling their gold for quite a while.

      If it was a worthless [relic] and it was going down, then you’d think they would just get rid of it. [But] I don’t think there’s much more on the downside in gold. Maybe five percent. You look at the broad market right now. The stock market is quite high at the moment and on a relative basis, gold is very cheap. So I think some investors will be looking at relative value situations, and saying, “Maybe I should have some gold in my portfolio now?” It’s off quite a bit from its highs, and I still believe our monetary base is being debased and one needs to protect their capital.

      TD: Rob, you are a builder of industry, the founder of Goldcorp as our readers probably know, in which you took the company from a $50 million market cap to $10 billion. When you think about getting rich, and becoming rich—based on your experience, what would you say are some of the characteristics that lead to becoming rich as an outcome?

      RM: You need to be focused on your goal. You need to be persistent in your effort to reach that goal. It’s going to take you some time. It’s not going to happen overnight. I think you need a reasonable amount of curiosity and not follow the herd. If you’re doing what everybody else is doing, you’re not going to get there. And you need some luck.

      TD: As a second part to that question--for people who are looking for other people to invest in, whether it be public companies or individuals, when you think about other people and deciding if you should invest your capital in them, what do you usually look for in defining those people, whether it’s the CEO of a company or otherwise?

      RM: I look at what is their commitment in terms of the time and attention and effort they put in. I look at their financial commitment as well—are they backing their words with their money. Are they backing their words with their effort and focus? Where is the company [in terms of] how is it priced relative to the rest of the market whether it’s the industry they’re in or the market on a relative basis? Is it cheap or expensive? Do they have a product, and in the case of mining, do they have some competitive advantage? Is it a high grade deposit or is it a low cost deposit that gives them margins that allow them to survive downturns such as we’re experiencing now? Is there room to grow? Are they putting enough capital into it to achieve their plans? What have they done before?

      TD: Rob, in winding down, do you think there’s anything we may have missed?

      RM: Well, the mining industry is perceived as possibly being slow. I think if people take a look at it, they would be surprised by the amount of technology in there. There’s still a lot of application of technologies from other industries that can be applied to the mining industry to improve the economics of the industry. Those are going to be tried and are in the process of being implemented today.

      It’s not an antiquated investment or industry. It’s moving ahead fairly quickly, picking up new technologies; from a mine in Australia using autonomous trucks that have artificial intelligence in them to sensing. I think the whole concept of ‘big data’ needs to be applied to mining in a very large way and some of the large companies are doing it, but that’s going to fuse itself through the industry over time and will generate good returns for those using it.

      TD: Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner of McEwen Mining, thanks so much for sharing your comments.

      RM: Tekoa, thank you for your interest.

      Ob es denn dort noch für uns gelagert wird ?



      ist wahrscheinlich schon mehrfach(!) verliehen worden, ob weiterhin in der Zockerbude wetten zu können :cool:

      Deutsche Goldreserven im Ausland physisch noch vorhanden?
      Was viele nicht wissen, der Großteil der deutschen Goldreserven sind im Ausland deponiert. Ein besonders großer Teil liegt in den USA in Tresoren der Federal Reserve. Peter Gauweiler von der CSU hätte das Gold lieber in Deutschland gelagert.

      Gauweiler spricht aus, was viele denken, ist das Gold physisch noch in den Tresoren? Es gibt Vermutungen, das Gold sei heimlich verkauft oder verliehen worden. Die Bundesbank behauptet, die Goldreserven regelmäßig zu überprüfen. Philipp Mißfelder wurde jedoch Anfang März eine Kontrolle verweigert.

      Eine Rückholung des Goldes steht derzeit nicht zur Debatte. Der Haushaltsausschuss wartet erst einen Bericht des Rechnungshofes ab. Sollte es Unstimmigkeiten geben, werde man gegebenenfalls handeln. Die deutschen Goldreserven haben einen Wert von 137 Milliarden Euro.

      Fehlender Beweis für deutsche Goldreserven im Ausland: Deutsche Auslandsreserven wurden „noch nie geprüft“

      Hier lagert das deutsche Gold - wenn es noch dort lagert...
      ...
      ..
      Die Revision der Deutschen Bundesbank hat sich mehrfach vor Ort vergewissert, daß das Gold sicher gelagert sei. Damit kann allerdings nur gemeint sein, daß man die Türen oder Tresorvorrichtungen von außen betrachtet habe :(, denn eine Vollaufnahme des Goldes hat gemäß eigenem Einräumen seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr stattgefunden. Dies führte zur Kritik des Bundesrechnungshofes.
      ...
      Anmerkung der Redaktion:
      Wenn man dann in drei Jahren 150 Tonnen Gold aus den USA nach Deutschland geholt hat, kann man sicher sein, daß 10% der deutschen Goldreserven in den USA noch da sind. Für die restlichen 90% muß man dies dann annehmen. Den letzten Zweifler werden solche Maßnahmen nicht beruhigen. Seit Jahren schwelen Diskussionen in Deutschland hoch, ob das deutsche Gold in den USA überhaupt noch vorhanden sei.

      Zuletzt wurde dies nach dem 9/11-Unglück der Twin Towers beflügelt. Angeblich sei in den Kellerräumen ein großer Tresor der FED mit Gold vorhanden, hatte es vorher öfters geheissen. Bei den Aufräumarbeiten wurde allerdings nicht ein Gramm Gold gefunden.:rolleyes: Noch nicht einmal ein Tresorraum. :eek:
