Press release from Marketwire
REPEAT-2012 BMO Holiday Spending Outlook: Canadians in the Spending Spirit
- Spending Up: Canadians plan to spend $1,610 this holiday season, up from $1,397 in 2011 - Planning Ahead: The majority of Canadians will begin their holiday shopping before December; three-in-ten before November - Men twice as likely as women to be a last-minute shopper
Thursday, November 08, 2012
REPEAT-2012 BMO Holiday Spending Outlook: Canadians in the Spending Spirit09:00 EST Thursday, November 08, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 8, 2012) - According to the 2012 BMO Holiday Spending Outlook, Canadians expect to spend an average of $1,610 this holiday season - up from $1,397 in 2011.Holiday shoppers expect to allocate most of their holiday spending to gift purchases - an average of $674. The primary reasons cited for spending more on gift purchases - up nearly $100 from last year - are having more people to shop for (41 per cent) followed by being better off financially (39 per cent). Holiday Spending Allocation - Year over Year Comparison Purchases20122011Gifts$674$583Trips$563$360Entertaining$267$307Other$106$147 Holiday Spending Across the Country PurchasesTOTALATLQCONMB/SKABBCGifts$674$625$359$924$645$553$673Trips$563$347$286$801$411$639$529Entertaining$267$156$125$383$165$240$323Other$106$99$48$133$61$93$173"For most Canadians, the holiday season can be an expensive time of year and one where prudent and responsible financial planning is essential," said Su McVey, Vice President, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Putting a holiday-specific budget in place ahead of time that sets clear spending limits can keep Canadians from over-extending themselves, and ensure other financial responsibilities and goals stay on track." Gerrick Johnson, a toy analyst with BMO Capital Markets, said that in addition to the survey results showing a lift in spending intentions, new tactics implemented by toy retailers should also help to provide a boost in holiday sales. "Consumers this year will benefit from a number of new tactics that retailers have implemented: hot toy reservation systems, more aggressive price match programs, same-day online delivery, and earlier and cheaper layaway," said Mr. Johnson. "These moves should help toy sales by making more expensive items more accessible, making all items easier to buy. They are also likely to entice earlier sales, which should help lift toy sales throughout the holiday season."Majority of Canadians Setting Limits and Starting EarlyThe survey, conducted by Pollara, also looked at Canadians intentions for budgeting and when they plan to begin spending this holiday season, and found:Nearly half (47 per cent) of Canadians will set a loose or flexible budget and three-in-ten (29 per cent) will set a fixed budget for the holidays One-in-five (21 per cent) do not plan on creating a budget Almost all of those with a fixed budget (91 per cent) and three-quarters of those with a flexible budget (75 per cent) say they generally stick to it However, more than half (53 per cent) say they often make impulsive purchases during the holiday season - even those with a fixed or flexible budget in place The majority (68 per cent) plan to begin shopping before December, including three-in-ten (30 per cent) who plan to start shopping before November Further, women are twice as likely as men to start shopping before November (41 per cent versus 20 per cent), with men twice as likely to run the risk of becoming a last-minute shopper in December (38 per cent versus 21 per cent) To make the most of your money this holiday season, BMO offers Canadians the following financial tips:Start early with a plan: While most Canadians begin holiday shopping early, it's easy to end up leaving things to the last-minute if you don't have a plan in place. Last-minute shoppers run the risk of over-spending, going off-budget and possibly missing out on the gifts at the top of the list. Before heading out to the stores, create a budget to reflect your list, so that you can budget properly and avoid the last-minute shopping rush.Make a budget; check it twice: Setting a budget as early as possible and revisiting it often can help prevent impulse spending. There are several online tools and resources available, such as BMO MoneyLogic, which allow you to set and track spending goals.Research before you spend: Before you begin shopping, do your homework to determine which stores offer the best deals so you can get the best bang for your buck and avoid over-spending. Maximize your spending: Utilize rewards programs to get the most out of your purchases this holiday season. Use a debit or credit card that offers rewards for purchases at multiple retail locations. The BMO AIR MILES bank account or BMO AIR MILES World credit card allows you to accelerate rewards earnings and significantly enhance the value of every dollar spent by allowing you to "double dip" - essentially earning rewards twice on the same purchase. The survey results cited in the 2012 BMO Holiday Spending Outlook conducted by Pollara are compiled from a random sample of 1,000 Canadians 18 years of age and over between October 11 and October 16, 2012. A probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to ± 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

He closed and locked the door from his seat with a few buttons, released the breaks and put the over sized transport in motion.

Her ornate cotton dress matched her beautiful white fur very well. The thin lace straps over shoulders matched lace on the bottom of the skirt that hung loosely down to her mid thigh. Her hair had small french braids on each side flowing back to join into one with a red bow at the center. The red ribbons wove in the braid dangling downward with the waves and curls of the rest of her mane making it stand out. She wore less jewelry but more makeup than normal. Her long fluffy tail well brushed drifted close to the ground before curving back up.Kandar Ch2 Pt3 beautiful dresses and ugly scars by DarkMoonWolf70 More Like This

'How strange that they don't care that others can see into their dwelling' he thought. He pulled the heavy drapes closed on the bay window and checked the others before turning on any lights in the house. 'Maybe I'm the strange one. the years of hunting and being hunted make me different i guess.' He turned his attention to one of the boxes lying about. 'I wonder what we got.' Most everything here they bought at a death sale. When someone in the city dies without family to claim the things left behind it is sold off. The proceeds are said to go to charities but the city claims they never meet their final expenses and keeps everything.

All the local excitement is documented and put into the iDiet news so be sure to keep up with the daily literature... If u can call it literature. Order is enforced by Regulators who have the right to arrest, detain, injure and dispose of anyone they feel violates n/a law.

BetrayersIt is the 53rd year of the Omega Century and sex between a boy and a girl can get you killed. Well, at least I think all kinds of sex does but really there's only one that we treat special. I'll get back to it. We call it the Omega Century because that is when the True Genders took over. My teacher said it happened because there were too many babies in the world and not enough older people to take care of them. So the True Genders made it so we don't have too many babies anymore and so that we don't suffer. When we are old enough, we can choose a man to love, and if you prove yourselves to be True Men you can get assigned little boys to take care of. But there are some people who don't want to love in their gender. The men call them 'Betrayers', my older brother Olsen says it used to be called 'being straight.'

Erik Palmén
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2013)
Erik Herbert Palmén (31 August 1898 – 19 March 1985) was Finnish meteorologist, born in Vaasa. He worked at the University of Chicago in the Chicago school of meteorology (started by Carl-Gustaf Rossby) on cyclones and weather fronts with Vilhelm Bjerknes. He contributed to the explanation of the dynamics of the jet stream and the analysis of data collected by radiosondes; his preprocessed and quality checked datasets were widely used by other researchers. Palmen was a multisided researcher who published articles in meteorology, geophysics and oceanography. The 1969 book by Palmen and Chester W. Newton, "Atmospheric Circulation Systems: Their Structure and Interpretation", is still used as lecture material in the universities around the world.
Palmen was the director of Finnish Institute of Marine Research, a professor in Helsinki University and a member of the Finnish Academy of Arts and Letters. His nickname by students, friends and colleagues was Maestro and he was well known for his passion for cigars and interest of effects of weather on agriculture.
Palmen received the Buys-Ballot Medaille of Royal Dutch Academy in 1964. Then, when enough computing power was available and the first steps of numerical weather prediction were taken, the value of work done by the Chicago School 10–20 years earlier was really appreciated.

Holly Durst and DeAnna Pappas Stagliano's Home Video: U Can't Touch This — Must Watch!
Blake Julian posted this video on his Facebook wall and we had to check it out. Holly Durst and DeAnna Pappas (Stagliano) made a music video — and we were totally transfixed the entire time.
In the video, they disappear into a fridge, swap hair colors, jump off of each other, and sing into bananas. There's a whole lot of booty shaking going on, too. Our minds were just blown. Yes, it's an oldie (circa 2008), but it's still a goody.

Better late than never
Bob Willis says that late swing is the key to Mitchell Johnson's swift change of fortune in the third Ashes Test.
Last Updated: 17/12/10 11:10am
Australia's cracking counter-attack means that this Perth Test is finely balanced going into day three.
After being outplayed in Adelaide, Australia had no option but to come out fighting and the much-criticised Mitchell Johnson did just that.
The left-armer finally found his radar and proved virtually unplayable at times as he followed up his first-day runs with 6-38.
Not only did he bowl in the right area but he got the ball to swing late on a pitch that is noticeably quicker in pace than day one.
Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen fell to particularly fine in-swinging deliveries and this time the tail had little answer to Johnson's aggression.
Perhaps Trott and Pietersen were guilty of getting too far across their stumps early in their innings and maybe England got too involved in the on-going chat on the field, but nothing should detract from Johnson's impressive return to form.
It's surely no coincidence that the guys who play their cricket at the WACA, like Johnson and Mike Hussey, have looked the most comfortable playing in this game so far.
It is sudden shifts of fortune such as Johnson's transformation that makes Test cricket the compelling game it is.
Paul Collingwood could do with a similar resurgence in form with the bat. So long as his poor trot continues, Ian Bell is clearly wasted at number six.
Apart from his stupendous catching and fielding Collingwood is bringing very little to the party at the moment. The tough decision would have been to drop him after Brisbane in order to play another bowler at Adelaide.
England are very reluctant to change - stubborn even - because Collingwood has been part of the inner sanctum of that side for a long while now.
But Bell, who remains in imperious form, simply isn't in the shop window at six. He's in the best form of the life and surely has that first Ashes hundred in him.
But when Matt Prior fails with the bat, he has little option but to chance his arm in order to garner as many runs as possible with the tail rather than play his natural game.
From the outside swapping Bell and Collingwood in the batting order would seem the simple change to make in the short-term but I'm not sure that the England management are comfortable with two stroke-players - Pietersen and Bell - going in next to one another.
As Australia's second innings unfolded it became clear that England's seamers are still struggling to find the right length to bowl in this pitch.
Instead they've fallen into a familiar trap of banging the ball in too short, too often after seeing it carry through to Matt Prior above shoulder height.
This has played into the hands of Australia, who have gone in all guns blazing with the bat second time around; those batsmen out of form weren't going to die wondering.
With Shane Watson and Hussey still at the crease and looking to play positively against Graeme Swann, Australia - 200 runs ahead - now have a strong foothold in this Test.
But they'll also be only too well aware that it's almost two years ago to the day since South Africa racked up 414-4 in Perth to clinch a famous victory.
All is certainly not lost for England yet by any means.

Israeli minister summons former diplomat over Obama critique
Conflict in the Middle East
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel's finance minister distanced himself on Thursday from claims by the country's former ambassador to the U.S., a member of his party, that President Barack Obama is purposely damaging bilateral relations.
Moshe Kahlon said in a letter to America's ambassador to Israel that he "summoned" Michael Oren, now a lawmaker in his Kulanu party, to his office after learning that Oren had expressed his views in an op-ed this week in the Wall Street Journal. The Associated Press on Thursday received a copy of the letter.
Kahlon said Oren's comments reflected his personal views only, and praised Obama for supporting Israel.
Oren said Obama abandoned longstanding principles of U.S.-Israel relations by openly disagreeing with Israel and not coordinating with it over changes to Mideast policies.
U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby called Oren's account "absolutely inaccurate."
Traditionally strong U.S.-Israeli ties have been strained under Obama and Netanyahu, who are divided over nuclear talks with Iran and peace efforts with the Palestinians.
"Michael Oren is not a member of the government. His recent article in the Wall Street journal reflects his own views," a senior official in the Israeli prime minister's office said anonymously according to protocol.
"Netanyahu has consistently expressed his appreciation...for all that President Obama has done for Israel's security."

At night before she goes to sleep, Rosetta has this conversation with herself: "Your name is Rosetta. My name is Rosetta. You found a job. I found a job. You've got a friend. I've got a friend. You have a normal life. I have a normal life. You won't fall in a rut. I won't fall in a rut. Good night. Good night." This is a young woman determined to find a job at all costs. She is escaping from the world of her alcoholic mother, a tramp who lives in a ramshackle trailer and runs away near the beginning of the story, leaving her daughter to fend for herself. Rosetta sees an abyss yawning beneath her and will go to any lengths to avoid it.
Her story is told in a film that astonishingly won the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival, as well as the best actress prize for its star, Emilie Dequenne. The wins were surprising not because this is a bad film (in its uncompromising way, it's a very good one) but because films like this--neorealist, without pedigree, downbeat, stylistically straightforward--do not often win at Cannes. Variety's grudgingly positive review categorized it as "an extremely small European art movie from Belgium." Not just European but Belgian.
"Rosetta" opens with its heroine being fired, unjustly, we think, from a job. She smacks the boss, is chased by the police, returns home to her mother's trailer, and we get glimpses of her life as she sells old clothes for money and sometimes buries things like a squirrel. She fishes in a filthy nearby stream--for food, not fun. She makes a friend of Riquet (Fabrizio Rongione), a kid about her age who has a job in a portable waffle stand (yes, Belgian waffles in a Belgian art movie). He likes her, is kind to her, and perhaps she likes him.
One vignette follows another. We discover that unlike almost every teenage girl in the world, she can't dance. That she has stomach pains, maybe from an ulcer. One day Riquet falls in the river while trying to retrieve her fishing line, and she waits a strangely long time before helping him to get out. Later she confesses she didn't want him out. If he had drowned, she could have gotten his job. After all, the local waffle king likes her, and she'd have had a job already, had it not gone to his idiot son.
What happens next, I will leave for you to discover. The film has an odd subterranean power. It doesn't strive for our sympathy or make any effort to portray Rosetta as colorful, winning or sympathetic. It's a film of economic determinism, the story of a young woman for whom employment equals happiness. Or so she thinks until she has employment and is no happier, perhaps because that is something she has simply never learned to be.
Two other films prowled like ghosts in my memory as I watched "Rosetta." One was Robert Bresson's "Mouchette" (1966), about a poor girl who is cruelly treated by a village. The other was Agnes Varda's "Vagabond" (1986), about a young woman alone on the road, gradually descending from backpacker to homeless person. These characters are Rosetta's spiritual sisters, sharing her proud disdain for society and her desperate need to be seen as part of it. She'll find a job. She'll get a friend. She'll have a normal life. She won't fall in a rut. Good night.

Mykki Blanco was arrested in Portugal earlier this week, as Noisey reports. Blanco was there for a gallery show residency, and was arrested after a verbal conflict with the Portuguese police at the airport. "I'm being arrested in Portugal for being gay," Blanco initially wrote on Facebook. That was followed by several photos taken inside the Portuguese jailhouse, and a contentious back-and-forth in the subsequent comments.
"I'm leaving Portugal after my performance," Blanco wrote on Facebook. "Please stop writing hate speech, threatening to hang me, posting pictures of slaves and leaving gay hate messages on my page, I have seen a really disturbing side of this culture tonight."
Blanco also wrote, "I'M OVER PEOPLE DEFENDING PORTUGAL BECAUSE OF FALSE NATIONAL PRIDE. GUESS WHAT? YOUR COUNTRY IS JUST AS FUCKED UP AS ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. DEAL WITH IT."
According to Noisey, Blanco was ordered to pay a 600 euro fine.
Blanco explained the incident in detail in the comments sections, and gave a similar statement to Noisey:
I was swindled, by the Portuguese police department for being a gay black tourist that is the only explanation for this situation. I had literally just got off of a plane was in the airport on my way to the art gallery I am currently doing a residency at and I was taken advantage of by the Portuguese police. More than an act of racism and prejudice or even homophobia ( which were all 3 factors) I realized that class matters and that an upwardly mobile black man isn't something people always want to see.
I was arrested for telling a police officer to "go fuck himself" after I repeatedly and politely asked him where I could purchase a taxi voucher since he worked with the taxi attendant at the airport. the altercation escalated because I waited in a long line like everyone else outside the airport for a taxi and when I was told by the taxi attendant that I could not use my credit card but only cash the taxi attendant and cop refused to help or answer any other questions I had about an alternative in anyway. They were impatient and short with me all the while eagerly helping white tourists who were behind me in line while I waited to be addressed.
A Portuguese woman in the same taxi line with me even leaned over and whispered "I don't know why they are being so strange with you, there is a place inside to buy taxi vouchers you don't need cash". I should have listened to the woman and went inside myself to find the voucher office but there is apart of my personality that really wants to see if people WILL actually be prejudiced, to see if maybe my PC west coast optimism about the world is being challenged by blatant discrimination and I was right. I asked the police officer where the voucher office was and I was told to "go away" like I was nuance as if I had not waited in the same line as all the other white tourists and when I asked why he could not help but could gladly help the other tourists I was yelled at and told to "go away bicha" which is a gay slur, even though I had waited in the same line as everyone else.
The world aint a fair place, and the idea of a young successful black guy doesn't always fly everywhere but I was insulted, and discriminated against so I said "Fuck you" and walked away...well he followed me inside, used his radio to call other police causing a scene in the airport and told me "You are under arrest" I said "excuse me, I have not committed a crime, I asked you for help and you refused to help me" he said "You have insulted a police officer and that is a crime in Portugal, you can't talk to me that way" and he arrested me.

Points well taken: they were buyers at the top of the market and now will be divesting in a much less favorable market.
Still, they're raking in a couple of billion a year in AFFO, have lots of stuff to sell (albeit not for the top dollar prices they paid). Unlike some of the more constrained producers (I own CDE's 7.785s of 2021), they've still got a decent leash to maneuver before being in true distress.
Ultimately they (and most others in the space) will live or die by the price of gold, which is largely indeterminable.Mar 23, 2015. 10:33 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
I don't think we fundamentally disagree--or at least our observations are compossible with each other.
45X coverage is risible--that's like having no debt at all. 3X coverage isn't investment grade, which is why it's realistically a BB or BBB credit. Looks like they've aggressively made some acquisitions (including some bad ones) and are now eating some of them by write-downs. Probably got a little in front of their skis when gold prices were supposed to go through the roof.
All that said, I don't lose a lot of sleep with a company covering their interest 3X over--neither do other investors, apparently, which is why their notes are trading only 300 bps wide of treasuries. $850 AISC is still profitable at $1150 an ounce, and they've got assets they can unload to delever themselves. They won't come out and say it, but an equity issuance wouldn't be a bad thing. Certain kinds of enterprises, especially deeply cyclical commodities, really ought to be financed mainly with equity.
Re. "solvency"--I'm not sure what you mean by that. very few cos--even IG credits--would be solvent if they were suddenly unable to roll their debt. ABX is easily covering their debt service; has ample liquidity over the next 2-3 years; has cut capex and opex in response to the new price environment; is planning to sell assets to raise more cash to retire LT debt; and looks to have an enterprise value and assets that cover the unsecured debt.
is this a great business going forward if we stay at $1100 gold? Probably not. But mgmt obviously cares about the debt (and is behaving responsibly) by delevering and diverting operating cash flows from capex to debt retirement. The red flag would be if they can't execute any sales to deleverage--or if gold tanks below $1000.
Not my area--and I don't follow this co closely--but your characterization seems excessively dire.Mar 22, 2015. 11:15 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Any company in a position to reduce its long term debt by $3B a year is by definition not in distress.
Show us the debt service coverage ratios. Unless they're below 1.5:1, yawn... It's a boring BBB credit.Mar 21, 2015. 08:58 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
No opinion on whether the equity is overpriced or underpriced. It's probably a first derivative of gold prices, and your guess (which is what it amounts to) is as good as anyone's. Flip a coin it goes up or down, with gold. But the bond market does not share your view that that debt is "stressed." YTM on even the lowest coupon debt is in the 4.5-5% range--borderline investment grade. If your thesis is that high debt is going to take them down, what's your revisionist estimate on coverage? Looking at it for 5 minutes, I don't see any short or long term coverage/liquidity issues.

Hey, thanks Max. Just went back and read the *outstanding*, clear-eyed analyses you've done of the complicated technical issues of testing. A model of inductive thinking for all investors--bulls and bears alike.
Technically, what you say makes sense, and my gut is that LL is getting a raw deal from the "gotcha" crowd. But at the same time, bulls can be 100% right in the technical analysis of the flaws (or regulatory irrelevance) of deconstructive testing but the company still gets buried by legal/ administrative/ reputational factors.
I like that they have/had little or no debt, and could potentially ride out a decline in sales for some time until the brouhaha calms down. At the same time, though, when one tries to spitball a range of potential outcomes and assign weighted probabilities for an expected valuation, the arithmetic mean may be positive but the geometric mean is still a zero. I'd need it to get *much* cheaper before jumping in...Mar 19, 2015. 12:57 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
I love situations where pure uncertainty reigns. But the problem is that the price of LL isn't yet reflecting the full range of potential outcomes--one of which is zero. My guess is people are anchoring (mistakenly) on the fact that this used to be a $100 stock and thinking $30 and change looks like a fair discount. But it was so grossly overpriced to begin with that even now, it looks like a decent but not screaming bargain for a company facing no legal difficulties. Needs to go much lower before the bottom fishing can really begin. Otherwise, for day-traders--have at it. None of the real issues at stake are going to get resolved here for years...

18.4% Dividend Western Asset Mortgage Capital Is Betting On Higher Interest Rates [View article]
Regardless of the answer, I stick to my point that when you're running as much leverage as they're using--and that negative convexity magnifies risks to the upside--it's not a dumb move to be overhedged, especially when hedging is so cheap.
Lastly, it's also worth considering how easy it is to undo the effects of their putative overhedging. If you like the divvy but also want to capture any gains in book from falling rates, you can just add duration in your own portfolio using zeros, TSY futures, etc. Hedging is expensive and difficult to replicate at home, but cheap and easy to undo.Mar 6, 2015. 07:59 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
18.4% Dividend Western Asset Mortgage Capital Is Betting On Higher Interest Rates [View article]
Look, I tend to agree with you about the merits of running a duration gap, and am personally anticipating falling--not rising--rates. So in this respect I'm sympathetic to your criticism. it would have been nice in hindsight if they were less hedged. But hindsight is always 20/20, and if rates had spiked last Q, people would be whining that they'd allowed themselves to get broadsided by another rate increase.
Like it or not, their strategy of overhedging is the more conservative strategy. As volatility in IR increases, there's something to be said for being conservatively positioned, especially as there's more danger to the upside than there is to the downside. Also, as they've made clear numerous times, they dynamically adjust their hedges within a range--taking off some protection as rates move toward the top of their range, and adding something as they move lower.
One other factor to consider: they're running a higher effective leverage than almost any of their peers (by effective, I mean taking into account the extra volatility of their non-agency securities, some of which, believe it or not, do have positive duration...). When you're more aggressive in one facet of your book, it never hurts to be more conservative on another.
As for price, I've been reducing the trading bucket of my WMC into this runup. Still one of my largest holdings.Mar 5, 2015. 11:20 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Walter Energy to issue 8.65M shares in exchange for $66.7M in notes [View news story]
Don't have to be a Monday AM QB to conclude that these guys squandered some big opportunities to delever their balance sheet. Instead they just piled on more debt. Sure, they were running against a nasty met coal market, but part of being a successful capital allocator in a cyclical industry is that your best case or even baseline scenario shouldn't require historically high prices for met. Sorry, but that's on them.
Who really knows why they took the exchange offer. Depending on your risk aversion or need to maintain positive carry for investors, sometimes taking less upfront and moving down the road is worth it, especially if you're a fund that needs to maximize cash flow/yield. Some have the luxury of playing the long game, other don't. But even on your more hopeful construal of the endgame, you'd have to agree that they're gonna dispose of the shares sooner rather than later, lest they end up right behind me, and even more SOL, in Delaware.Mar 3, 2015. 02:52 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Creators | Cyriaque Lamar has a brief interview with Matt Kindt about Mind MGMT #0, which is being solicited now for a November release. (Issues 1-3 are already available.) Here's Kindt on the look of the comic: "For this project, I wanted it to be less like you're picking up a comic and more like you're holding a story, right down to everything outside of the panels. I want it to feel interactive, something you don't just drift into. I tend to read graphic novels over issues — I can't remember thirty days ago from a bit of story. I wanted each issue something you'd go back to every month. My goal was give the book as much depth as possible to reward monthly readers." [io9.com]
