How klappt crisis? An artist from California has yet to learn it, while a teacher from Idaho, the rotation has been out. Learn more about this in the click-view.
Hundreds of kilos of gold to an artist in California as a sculpture in a gallery presentation. Now Consumerist.com reports that the art is often the most unexpected contexts of the financial crisis fell victim to.
The gold was the gallery of the artist at Stanford Coins and Bullion, a branch of the Stanford Financial Group bought. This was, however, in a kind of pyramid game many investors to a total of eight billion dollars (six billion euros) geprellt.
The case will be investigated, while the money in the bank is frozen. And as the supply of fine gold was also stopped as other disbursements.
Instead of the gold bars which the Gagosian Gallery to present, it was for the visitors: "We regret to inform you that the opening on Saturday is canceled." As long as the gold is not delivered, is the beginning of the exhibition indefinitely postponed.

The machine decides that a person obeys
Brave New World: Some mutual funds rely on the computer. And, of course, achieved during the great crash profits.
Striking peace in this office floor, through the glass walls is subdivided. Normally radiates a trade hall with brokers from more hectic. But this is only the monotonous, incessant hum of the printer to listen. And now slipping again a DIN A4 page in the gray output tray of the device. "Sell" is there, and sell. And among them we read, what will be sold. It is gold price. The stock broker is studying the particulars of the quantity of gold to be sold, and then proceeding to action.
In this commercial space is only done what the computer bids. 24 billion U.S. dollars are the ones here are managed. 15 men and a woman sitting in front of around 50 screens. They are mostly vicarious agents of the machine. "We get the computer up to 4000 buy and sell signals on the day," says the dealer Murray Steel. "And we handle these transactions on the stock markets down." AHL is the name of the computer program, which owns rights to the British Man Group, a global hedge funds provider.
It seems strange that the computer decide where to invest client funds. And yet developed this model, fixation of an appeal, because it fairly successful. "Managed Futures", so hot these strategies made in recent years, profits, than the competition recorded losses - even in 2008, when it worldwide on the stock markets went down. Futures are futures contracts, contracts in which buyer and seller agree on a specified date a particular product at a price fixed in advance to act.
Statisticians, the figures love
Forwards are a great way to hedge risks. Previously, only farmers used these contracts to get a fixed price for example, for the wheat harvest to secure. The American Stock Exchange CBOT were recorded in 1848 as a grain exchange was founded. Since the seventies, there are the first futures contracts on currencies and interest rates. Meanwhile, it is almost everything on futures trading: stock indexes, bonds, oil, sugar, gold, copper.
Since the turn of the millennium, the assets under management of managed futures globally from 50 to over 200 billion U.S. dollars increased. The term "Managed" means that over again, it will be decided whether, for example, an oil futures by a gold futures contract is concluded. The calculator analyzes price data in order to identify price trends. "We are many statisticians, such as love, we love numbers and patterns," says the expert Keith Ballmer.
Easy way: If the price of a share from two to three and then to four euros, then this is a trend that is very likely to continue. When the stock markets fell in 2008, it was also a trend of systems such as the AHL has been recognized and exploited.
There are many investors who think little of such computational models, because they are a bit esoteric. On the other hand, show that some of these systems over many years have worked (see chart). The American scientist Burton Malkiel developed 1973 the theory that the probability of whether a stock price rises or falls, each day is equal to a price forecast, and thus impossible (random walk theory).
Mathematical models follow trend
Others, such as Yale Professor Benoit Mandelbrot say that phase of extreme price movements are, where the probability for a particular price direction was higher than usual This is where mathematical models to follow trend. "There are patterns in human behavior, which has emerged over the evolution," says Yasin Sebastian Qureshi, chairman of the Hamburg Wertpapierhandelsbank Varengold.
Also, the Managed Futures Fund "Varengold CTA Hedge" has the stock market crisis well. The roof is from hedge funds, a minimum sum of 1000Euro draw, the AHL, there is diversity on the German company Apano in the form of certificates to buy. "We are experiencing a paradigm shift in the financial industry," says Qureshi. "Escape from Long-only approaches towards a more opportunistic approach."
Long-only means that investors' shares in the loss of further phases keep opportunistic means that funds are trying to get off before the course drops. Some managed futures funds - certainly not all - have managed that. How they do it? The recipe for success lies in the shallows of Probability hidden. Visibility is just the piece of paper from the printer, on the stands, what to do.

Will this year have a gold rush
In Dawson City Canadian miners hope to the great good fortune. Hundreds may be a rich. Yet the optimism remains high.
In the gold-rush town of Dawson City can be the frozen Yukon River no longer enter. Under the warm spring sun melts the ice. Soon, the ice blocks to great fanfare and the river burst hinuntertreiben. Impatiently waiting for the gold miners in Canada's Yukon Territory to the fact that the streams flowing again and gold from the sand can be washed. "With today's prices, this year we have a gold rush," predicts Reid Haines, Dawson City in the tool shop.
The Canadian has teamed with a partner and wants to hire some people to get the most from today's gold boom out. Become rich, he is yet, its revenue, he has better equipment made. "It costs enormously, out of the gold," he says, "and there are many large companies in this business." But, as Haines assured, as he had people in the Yukon is still the chance of a rich Goldader to discover.
Still lucky The Fortunate, in Dawson City are rich, however, depend not on the big bell. "We tell anyone what we find," says Haines. You see it too. If someone suddenly in great style, new trucks and equipment purchases. Or if gold seekers from one day to the other from Canada's north in the warmth of the South American off. "The millionaires are not here to go to Hawaii or Palm Springs," says Romy Jansen who have been over twenty years of self-made gold jewelry in her shop sells Wild & Wooly "From hundreds of makes it perhaps one."
Dawson sees how many are still in the times of the gold rush. Wooden sidewalks on stilts over the lead-permafrost soil, which is in the rain turns into mud. Some historic buildings disintegrated, while others appear in its former glory, as Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling and Bombay Peggy's former brothel, which is now a guest house. The hope of fabulous wealth had 1897 Tens of thousands of gold prospectors in the Yukon lured even the legendary writer Jack London, after the customer of gold in the Klondike River had made the rounds. Many men and some women wanted the Depression in the U.S. to escape. After a grueling voyage landed in Skagway most needed in the winter of tons of food over steep mountain passes and drag in the summer of dangerous rapids on the rivers overcome.
Most fail When they finally in 1898 in Dawson City arrived, were all gold diggers licenses already granted. The most impoverished went back home. Today, only barely 1900 people here and not, as during the boom, nearly 40 000 But in the Yukon Gold is still to be found, and in the bar of the Hotel Eldorado meeting today like the gold prospectors and businessmen.
Claim 33 is a registered Goldsuchgebiet Jerry Brides, not far from the Bonanza Creek Eldorado Creek, the two streams in Dawson City, where 1896 the first gold was discovered. Is still snow, but soon Jerry Bride is about 20 kilometers away for gold digging. He gets his gold from the pans by a wood stove heated tent in which he lives. In the pan he washes gravel and sand and dirt from the creek, like the men over a hundred years ago.
The heavy gold falls to the floor pan and can be herausgeklaubt. "The small pans are designed for beginners," says Bride. "I guess the big ones." The gold particles often show a greater incidence of deep underground, usually in rock included. Then the gold diggers dig into the depths to the core menu.
"Last summer I found some 100 fine ounces of gold," says the miners and fingert five nuggets from a container. The current prices are more than 90,000 U.S. Dollar. For nuggets are but two to three times more money than paid for molten gold, says Bride. Because Nuggets are unique in form and as jewelry and souvenirs begehrt.Schon previously were machines for Wühlarbeit in the soil used.
At the Bonanza Creek there are still a three-story high dredging from the gold rush period. With machines are also the brothers Bernard and Ron Johnson for the gold body. The Bonanza Creek can be seen from their claim. First they blow up the rocks and clear the rubble from Goldsuchgebiet and bushes. Then the earth with a backhoe abgegraben, the rock and smashed the boulder from the bulldozer in a laundry chute is thrown.
There will be shaken up in gold and dirty water separate. Often, the yellow metal contains about 22 percent silver, Bernard Johnson says: "The more pure the gold, the more golden it seems." For the rough men and women in the Yukon is the fascination of the precious metal continued unabated.
"It's out there, man," said Doug Jackson, who has 20 years in the vicinity of Dawson City to Gold buddelt. "It is always a shovel dirt away fine ounces in 1000."
Or from nearly one million U.S. Dollar. Jackson has been as a boy looking for gold, he says, "just as I was capable of a gold pan to keep. So far, he could just live by what he captured gold. But this year he wants to become rich." If you Gold fever did, you remain an eternal optimist, "he says," you never give up. "
