Hi Koan

I was thinking it would be a direct sale
i.e IMF to Central Banks ...

with some pre-arranged non-market price .....

iow - its just moving the gold from 1 warehouse (IMF)
to another warehouse (CB's - who gave it to them in the 1st place) with the net effect that nothing really changes
except the price .....

With respect to China -

on Bloomberg they were talking to a Copper guy who
said in effect - the people THEY read (would not
identify) think the best China can do this year is
0% - 4% .....

their government is about to throw 1/4 of their foreign
reserves at internal spending - so sumptin' is afooot ...

note:I *still* got all my gold stocks so its not
like I am rootin -g- for this -g-

regards
John
