Bobby: I think you greatly overstate the case for deflation. CRB indeed heading south, but commodities just a modest portion of the CPI. Money supply is growing very rapidly in he US and most other nations. Unemployment rate at near record lows. Service inflation -- a far bigger chunk of the CPI than commodities -- is accelerating. Greenspan is scared to death of what will happen if people start spending some of their big stock market profits.

Bottom line -- commodity deflation accelerating because of the Asian crisis and the strong dollar. But the overall inflation rate is headed higher. Good for gold.
