Fred,

Maybe you or another on this thread could help with an ongoing
debate on another thread that links the price of gold not to
a free market of supply & demand, but to manipulation.

Seems to be two sides only, one saying the price of gold is low
because of low demand, high above ground supply and a trend
by Central Banks to regard gold as a poor Store of Value.

Bottom line for those who see gold's past history as a backing
for a nation's fiat currency is that it never worked and actually
prevented growth. For these folks gold is just a commodity
with limited uses for jewerly and corrosion concerns for electrical
connections, with again a 10 years supply above ground.

The other side in this debate is of an Area 51
and USA cover-up slant, as for example they
have put out the following information which
may or may not be real or valid or true,
and even if so, it may means nothing.

"... the notional value of the gold derivatives
exploded this past year on the books of
JP Morgan ($18 to $36.5 billion),
Chase Bank ($11 billion to $22 billion)....."

thanks
doug
