trashing of SoAfRand will ultimately backfire
in the last 2-3 years, the Rand has lost 75% value
this enabled local gold production costs to plummet in $terms
JPMorgan and Deutschebank are facing legal action now in Johannesburg
production was vastly increased as a result
but in a matter of a few quarters, gold production will slow down
JUST WHEN THE GOLD DUST HITS THE FAN

everthing the Gold Cartel has done will backfire
NYCity gold price action lately shows lost control
gold touched 319 overnight, which is only the beginning

here is a tidbit on the magnitude of miner hedging that must be totally unwound
AngloGold in Q1 unwound a bunch of forward hedges
they essentially bought back futures and options on shorts
the amount of gold involved from just Q1 equalled the entire amount of gold purchased by Japan in 2001
AngloGold is SouthAfrica's largest gold producer

the hedge issue is corrosive hydrochloric acid on their books
they know it
I expect Barrick to implode
