George Cole:

One way the gold industry could find out if there really is any demand out there would be to shut down production significantly or completely. Then the world could figure out if it really needs gold (which I think some bashers will be surprised).

The situation reminds me a lot of the oil industry two years ago. Consolidation in the gold industry is a positive step in gaining control of the future supply of gold. Just as the oil industry figured out how to be profitable at $15/barrel oil prior to the ramp in price, the gold miners have also figured out how to produce gold at current severely depressed prices.

Who's brilliant idea was it to lease gold for 1% a year anyway? A person could control a lot of gold at that ridiculous rate. I might just see if I can borrow some. That beats margin rates at my broker by a long shot.
