Colin's Site - Interesting News on a Gold Delivery Default

users.dircon.co.uk

<< Reuters News (Thursday January 1, 1:40 pm Eastern Time):

"Consolidated Nevada Goldfields Corp ... has not made the scheduled principal payment of 2,611 troy ounces of gold due on December 31, 1997 to ING Capital Corp ... "

A one-off, or an ominous sign of things to come? The latter, according to vronsky:

Posted on the internet Sunday January 04 1998 12:50 (GMT) by Vronsky of Gold-Eagle: FIRST OF MANY GOLD LOAN DEFAULTS???!!!

THIS IS MONUMENTAL NEWS! It is testament to the well-grounded suspicions of many experts that there will be many GOLD LOAN DEFAULTS, forcing Central Banks and large commercial banks to EAT the Gold Loans extended. >>

Not quite the end of the world, as the value of this particular gold default is small. However, as the writer says, there could be more.
