> Bob, much appreciate your diligent assembly of gold production and > other statistics Thank you. I think reasonable people can look at various pieces of information and come to very different conclusions and opinions. What I often try to do is "get back to basics" Facts like central banks are 10% of supply, primary mine production has doubled in the last 20 years, scrap is an important factor in supply, South Africa is now only 20% of the world's supply, Anglogold is only 7%, etc.. help provide a broad general context for the discussions. If one thinks 2 or 3 miners control the world's gold supply, one might jump to incorrect conclusions. One can build a better case for any opinion (pro or con) from a firm foundation of facts, instead of vague perceptions of the gold market
