You make good points Claude and I didn't mean to misquote you. On some of the other subjects I will offer these observations:

1) Gold: flight to quality? - where/when? - we have had debacle after debacle with no reaction by gold at all. The fact of the matter is that there is a big overhang of gold, not big, huge and in addition to that you well know that the minute prices rise producers sell into the mkt like crazy. Bottom line, we have been in a 20 year bear mkt. I will say that if we were to have a big drop in the value of the dollar then I would expect a good price rise in gold, but not until then.

2) Palladium - I am well aware of the switch from PT to PD, however, PT and PD are already closing the gap and I could see PT passing PD which would not allow them to switch back to PD and makes the issue moot. PD is increasingly being used in the technology world as well. I would predict that the uses for the PGM's will just keep being invented.

The bottom line is that gold was down to $274 on Friday and PT was up $36.60 to over $500 and PD was up over $25 to over $600. Those are the facts as they exist today and you know what they say " the trend is your friend", I know, pretty corny <g>.

Last, the PGM's are precious metals themselves, so if the dollar drops and gold does move, the PGMs will probably still move with that move and move even better.

PS, there are less PGM's in existence and it is harder to mine then gold, so they should have a higher price, it seems to me.
