Paris Jewel Heist for $8Million

Jewellery worth more than 6m euros (£5m, $8m) has been stolen from an exclusive Paris store in broad daylight by a lone gunman, police sources say.

Dressed in a custom suit and fedora, the man entered Chopard on Place Vendome and reportedly made staff hand over 15 pieces of jewellery at gunpoint.

The mid-afternoon hold-up lasted two minutes, after which the robber, said to be in his 50s, calmly walked out.

Chopard jewellery is worn by stars at the Oscars and Cannes film festival.

Place Vendome is an elegant old square known for its luxury hotels, and is also home to numerous jewellery stores as well as the French justice ministry.

In December, armed robbers stole jewels worth at least 80m euros ($102m) from a store near the French capital’s famous Champs-Elysees avenue.

As many as four robbers, two disguised as women, raided the Harry Winston’s store and stole nearly all its valuables.

‘Like any other customer’

The Vendome robber struck just before 1500 (1300 GMT) on Saturday, at a time when, in good weather, the square is usually full of strollers.

“According to the first set of information we received, it was a man in his 50s, dressed in a chic costume and wearing a Borsalino [fedora] hat,” Olivier Lebon, a police union representative, told Reuters news agency.

“He came in like any other customer, pointed his gun at employees and asked for about 15 pieces.”

It was not immediately known if the robber had an accomplice waiting for him outside the store.

A sales assistant working in an adjacent jeweller’s store told AFP news agency she had heard and seen nothing. “We were working,” she added.

Late on Saturday afternoon, the store at No 1 Place Vendome stood closed behind iron shutters, an AFP correspondent reports.

Only some leather handbags could be seen in the window, and no trace of a robbery could be seen from the outside.

The French capital was basking in sunshine on Saturday, with temperatures rising to a summery 23C, AFP reports.

At least some of the capital’s beau monde would have been attending the French Open, one of the tennis world’s most prestigious events, at the city’s Roland Garros stadium.

Among Chopard’s commissions is the Golden Palm awarded at the Cannes festival.

Founded in 1860, the firm has branches in major cities across the world.

Barcelona 2, Manchester United 0

Click Here for Fc Barcelona

90th minute plus … Barcelona has exposed the long accepted soccer and sports bromide that defense wins championships. With a hobble defense, the Spanish champions weathered United’s early onslaught and fought back with style. Dominant midfielder play led by Xavi and Iniesta. A truly deserved championship for the Blaugrana.

90th minute plus … Rodriguez for Iniesta.

87th minute … Berbatov header sails over the goal.

85th minute … Puyol takes a pass from Xavi and nearly makes it 3-0.

84th minute … Barca in complete and utter control. United players walking, stunned.

75th minute … Last gasp for United, Scholes replaces Giggs. Probably too little, too late.

70th minute … Absolute DAGGER. Xavi finds Messi at the far post, and the Argentine flash scores an goal on an unlikely header. Barcelona, 2-0.

67th minute … Berbatov replaces a frustrated Park.

60th minute … Nothing but frustration for United. Ronaldo offside, errant passes, nothing clicking. But still a long way to go.

52nd minute … Iniesta fouled at top of United penalty are. Xavi beats van der Sar, but shot slams off the near post.

49th minute … Barcelaon pouring forward, with control and confidence. But without scoring so far, which could be deadly.

47th minute … Xavi springs Henry down the left, one on one with Ferdinand. Fakes the big defender off his feet, but shot is saved by van der Sar. Could have been a dagger.

46th minute … Tevez replaces the ineffective Anderson.

Halftime … The type of match where you look up at the running clock and are amazed that 40-45 have passed. Sheer entertainment, regardless of which team you’re supporting. If you’re reading this the real question is: Why aren’t you watching the match?

If you’re Sir Alex, who comes off and who goes on for the second half? If you’re Guardiola, do you make any changes?

45th minute … Messi takes a throw-in on the near side and just motors 40 years with the ball seemingly attached to his left foot for a shot that van der Sar can’t gain control of. Cleared by United defense.

43rd minute … Rooney looking increasingly frustrated out on the left, seeing little of the ball. While Iniesta and Xavi bob and weave at will in the midfield.

39th minute … As hobbled as Barca’s defense is with the absence of Marquez, Abidal, et al, United’s skill players are getting little space to turn and run. And Sylvinho is holding his own.

33rd minute … Barca captain Puyol blankets Rooney, and United’s Park has not yet imposed himself on the game; while for Barca, Henry seems lost on the left flank.

27th minute … If Messi was quick enough, the little Argentine is replendent in his new electric-blue Adidas Tunit F50i shoes. Like some many players today, they’re going with the day-glo colors on their flippers. Break out the sunglasses!

25th minute … Can we stop the clock or put it in someone’s pocket? This is end to end stuff. The game at its pinnacle. Play all night!

24th minute … Anderson jostles Iniesta, Barca’s engine about 25-28 yards from goal on the near side. Xavi’s curling free kick sails wide.

23rd minute … Eto’o’s goal seems to have settled Barcelona and renewed its confidence. United’s early ball possession game seems a thing of the past. … For now.

20th minute … Valdés wipes out Park on a sprint to the edge of the area to clear.

17th minute … Ronaldo makes a fool of Pique and forces the Barcelona defender into an obstruction 25 yeards out. Pique also takes a yellow card from Referee Massimo Busacca, but free kick sails high.

10th minute … Barca’s first offensive foray led by Iniesta, who carries 10-15 yards and leads Eto’s into the United area. The Cameroonian international cuts around Vidic and slips the ball past van der Sar. Talk about counters. So much of United’s early dominance. Barcelona 1-0

9th minute … United buildup on left springs Ronaldo for left-footed shot pushed wide of goal.

7th minute … Ronaldo, who has had so much success from long range recently, unloads from about 30 years. And why not? With Valdés showing signs of the yipes.

5th minute … Pressure is all from United.

1st minute … Anderson nutmegs Toure, Ronaldo’s low free kick is coughed up by Valdés, Park misses rebound and it goes for a Manchester United corner. Valdés looks shaky early.

Underway at 2.45 and Valdés immediately flubs a clearing pass over the touchline.

Minutes before kickoff … Manchester United in all white; Barcelona is blue-and-red striped jerseys.

OC – The Chosen One lyrics

I’m coming from an Egyptian Mola story, rarely told
Back in the mix of things to break the mold
Good as gold mind ya leave negative thoughts behind ya
Type of how I’m living be more potency than ganja
Oh Period; when you see my face I’m serious
Move with the mystique of a cheetah, mysterious
Dominate jungles when I walk the floor rumbles
The baddest motherfuckers – I make their attitudes humble
My aura shine bright like sunlight, in Fahrenheit temperature
Stylee’s, you file these
Most is type of scriptures, follow me is for reference
Other MC’s make no kind of sense
Oh freeze foes and bleed souls and leave those stunned
Descended on the planet, you’re in confusion
Pick ten, subtract five then, subtract four
Watch the Sun leave a shadow on the man that’s raw
I be

Chorus:

The Chosen One, beyond the Moet and the Cristal
The Son of a King and a Queen, I’m a gifted child
All bow to me like the image of God, Supreme Being
Get you to the eyes worth seeing

When in Commodities, Do what China does

If China is increasing protein in their diets and buying more soybeans, then maybe you should be long soybeans. If China is stockpiling copper to have an ample supply for building an infrastructure, then maybe you should be long copper. If rumors circulate that China is diversifying their reserves from US dollars by buying precious metals, then maybe precious metals should be in your portfolio. China has become a major energy user so there is a logical potential for energies to bid higher for years to come. The moral of the story here is to view what China does as to what the smart money is doing and maybe investors should follow their lead.

Energies

July crude oil advanced $3.85 to trade at 6 month highs. Resistance is seen between 62.25 and 62.50 with support at 60.00 followed by 57.50. July heating oil gained 10.71 cents last week but has been unable to trade above 1.57 after multiple attempts. The last time prices were above those levels was mid-January. On a move thru 1.57 look for an additional 7-10 cents. Support is eyed between 1.50/1.51. Prices could retrace 10-15 cents with no long-term chart damage. The Memorial Day holiday marks the beginning of the summer driving season. July RBOB gained 13.27 cents last week to trade to its highest level in 09’. Resistance is at 1.8150/1.8300, support is seen at 1.75 followed by 1.70. On setbacks we’ll be entertaining 20 cent call spreads in August. OPEC will meet on May 28th and so far, the consensus seems to be that they will not change production levels.

July natural gas fell 58 cents last week, down 14%. In the first 2 weeks of May prices advanced over $1 and now in the last 2 weeks prices have reversed and we are back to where prices were 4 weeks ago. Support is seen at the contract low at 3.40. Once a low is determined, start scaling into mini futures but until then we have an option play. Sell the $3 or $3.25 August puts while simultaneously buying the September $8 calls. As of Friday’s close, for virtually no debit one could sell 1 August $3.25 put and purchase 8 September $8 calls.

Financials

Stocks: Last week the Dow, S&P and NASDAQ all registered slight gains but we have not changed our view that a 10-15% correction is in the very near future. This week being a shortened trading week and light on volume may be an opportune time for the shorts to begin the move lower. The recent dollar drop signals that investors are willing to put risk back in their portfolio and being that prices have advanced 35% more or less, the Johnny came late investor, may have entered at an interim top. On a setback in the Dow we are looking for a move to 7750 then 7250 and for the S&P 830 then 765. A move above 8500 and 915 respectively would most likely mean that traders have bought themselves more time before we get the unavoidable correction.

Bonds: S&P lowered its outlook for the UK economy, saying that government debt may increase to 100% of GDP in the next few years and lose its AAA credit rating. US Treasury Secretary Geithner tried to ease investors’ concerns, saying that he is committed to bringing down the budget deficit over time so that the US’s high credit rating is preserved but based on market movement, not everyone is a believer. The trend remains down in treasuries as June 30-yr bonds were lower by 3’16.5 points to trade at their lowest level in 09’. Support is seen at 118’10 followed by 117’20, mild resistance comes in at 120’16 followed by more significant at 122’00. June 10-yr notes were lower by 2’08.5 points, also to new 09’ lows. Resistance is seen at 120’10 while support comes in at 118’00. After 12 consecutive positive days March 10’ Euro-dollars finally ran out of gas. Resistance is seen at the contract high at 99.095 while support is seen at the 20 day moving average at 98.81. We suggest your current short position to be 25-40% of the ultimate position you want to own. For every $10k you should be short 3 to 4 contracts; $750K-$1M in leverage.
