<< that much equipment such as Caterpillars, etc. have date sensitive chips, especially to remind that service is due. Could that stop supply of Gold? What about railroads used to ship? My thought is that mining may shut down as well. Many gold mining companies may not be Y2K compliant with their computers. >> Could be right. That is why it is so difficult to have the right feeling of Y2k on the price of mining stocks: - Price might escalate even faster the coming 6-12 months when people realise possible disruptions in 18 months (additional hoarding / mining of gold..) - Price might drop in the face of the actual disruptions after 1/1/2000.
