Ron, <<Do you mean to imply that, if Y2K fails to create the economic disruptions that many fear it will, that very little of that physical gold/gold coins that has been purchased will be resold back into the markets and converted back into more liquid assets (like cash)?>> IMO - nope. Most of those buying are small players and I suspect most will keep it. With the market as high as it is, it would not be a bad bit of insurance. Recently, when currencies have looked unstable, gold has reacted positively. MB
