Good question. A physicist friend once made the claim to me that the value of gold would be just as high if it lost its investment appeal, purely on the basis of its industrial uses. It conducts well and doesn't corrode; great for electronics. Seems dubious to me -- can we get figures for gold consumption for industrial uses, outside of jewelry?

BTW, I think you guys are a riot and a lot of fun. The really obnoxious threads are those where people try to fool each other into buying or selling certain stocks based on twisted information. This bantering seems all above board to me -- or close to it. Sometimes there's a touch of viciousness, but that's just because Luc's lost more money than he'll ever be able to fully fathom <g>.
