favor: need to confirm, correct some big numbers in article

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
many of you guys are real hounds
I was wondering if someone could help me
some might be on the tip of your tongue, or at easy reach
if you guys help, I will be grateful

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
thanku vermuch
much appreciated
solid numbers adds to the impact of article on capital pools
