< Care to go out on a limb and state your best guess for the POG on January 1, 2000? >

If the US Dollar Index can break decisively below last falls low, if Inflation can increase to a rate which is higher than short term interest rates, if GDP can contract even further ( from the 2.3% most recent level) to very sluggish growth, and if the US Stock and Bond Market continue their recent decline, I see no reason why Gold cannot trade north of $400 an ounce by Jan. 1, 2000. Lots of ifs, I know. But that's life.

At the very worst, I think gold will challenge the $300 level sometime later this fall.

According to this "This is London" story:

Right now, 100,000 Londonders are without electricity: no hot water,
no lights, no cooked food. What happened? A Y2K repair went "horribly
wrong."

This story is of such magnitude that we had to get out the alert fast
-- before the story gets yanked off their site or stripped of Y2K
details.

Grab it now. It's one of the top headlines on our site:
206.54.108.130

Remember, too, that we're now collecting the Internet's first
publicly-available database of Y2K failures, and we've already
received hundreds of reports from readers like you. If you've directly
experienced a computer failure that disrupted your life (financially
or otherwise), report it at:
