Global Merger & Acquisition Activity

Mining stocks began to recover earlier this year, but the recovery fizzled in the face of on-going concerns in the euro -zone and continued fears of a global economic slowdown. Investors continue to shun risky investments, and commodity companies are seen as high risk.

Some people are wondering if we will ever see a recovery in the mining industry. 

Most people recognize the emergence of the developing world and the huge, long-term impact on the metals markets as 3 billion people enter the modern era. We are still in the early stages of a long-term supercycle in metals.

The important question in this moment is: What is going to happen to share prices over the coming weeks or months? 

At these price levels, the mining industry represents an extraordinary investment opportunity. But, will the prices get even better before they rebound?

To understand what is going to happen in the near term, we need to step back and look at the big picture. Also, it is vital to understand
some of the critical changes that have occurred in the mining industry in recent years.

People get so caught up in what is happening in the moment that they often lose track of the bigger picture. The longer term trends are ignored and very few people take the time to anticipate what is coming in the future.

The global picture is often completely lacking in the media. Investor thinking is often driven by the day’s headlines.

Last year saw an endless stream of bad news that kept investors in a state of terror for most of the year.

The biggest story was the crisis in Europe, with the media predicting the complete collapse of the euro. 

By now most people have forgotten the dire forecasts regarding the consequences of a US government debt downgrade. US debt WAS downgraded, and those dire forecasts were shown to be meaningless and have been forgotten.

Upheaval in the Middle East and North Africa threatened to set off a chain reaction of collapsing governments that would de-stabilize the
entire region.

Japan was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami that created a nuclear disaster. The country is still struggling to clean up the mess and restore full power.

Throughout last year, there was fear of a global recession. By now, for most people, the fear of a complete collapse of the global financial
system is easing, but that fear still persists in minds of some people.

With seemingly a new crisis every week, in is not surprising that investors fled from everything that had a hint of risk. Gold fulfilled its role as a safe haven last year, as panicked investors pushed the gold price to an all-time record high. Click here to read the full article
