Hey Chugs, man of with all the numbers... need a favor
got this article that is 99% done "The Gold Volcano: 15 Roads Merge Golden Lava" catchy title, eh? it discusses many very large capital pools that are or will soon move in a big way into gold I personally think this far outshines the first article "25 Reasons Why Gold Will Rise"
but have several sizes that I cannot easily verify since you know every number that has come into existence, I was wondering if you help me some might be on the tip of your tongue, or at easy reach if you help, I will remember you in my will mind you, it is a tiny will
could you confirm or correct with definite numbers ???
here they are, with my guesses or known numbers: US Trez Bonds, Notes, Bills (known $6.4T) European Bonds (wild guess $3.5T) US Corporate Bonds (guess $6T) US Stock Market (guess $5T) US real estate size (guess $11T) US Mortgage Backed Bonds (wild guess $3T) US Pension Funds, managed & unmanaged (guess $4T) Hedge Funds worldwide (silly wild $200 billion) US Money Supply MZM (known $8.5T) US Gold Reserves (known 260 million oz) Japanese Savings (known $11T) Chinese US Trez holdings (silly guess $350 billion) -- I think this is wrong Chinese trade surplus (good guess $6 billion per month) Russian Central Bank reserves (known $55B) Arab, OPEC, Persian Gulf, Oil Imports (got it)
any help would be very appreciated, but not depreciated nothing capricious or auspicious thanku vermuch many thanks much appreciated solid numbers adds to the impact of article on capital pools / jim |
