Thanks for the explanation Bob, I see your point on the jewellery market. I guess the "FIRST GUEST" on the Gold Show should be the goldsmith from Asia that designed the Golden Slippers. He had lots of offers to buy. Did you catch that on the news quite a while ago? thanks -mike

<<"P.S. I don't know about physical storage costs, because I would NEVER buy gold bullion without taking delivery. Why exchange paper dollars for a paper receipt, get the real thing.>>" That's got to be one of the most sensible statements I've seen posted in a while. History tells us that anybody who leaves his gold on deposit ANYWHERE takes the chance that the storing organization will either lend it to somebody to back up his shorting activities, or do the same shorting himself. IMHO that's how this problem got started. Wasn't there supposed to be a growing use for Gold wire in the manufacture of Computers.?? Whatever happened to that? Cheers
