> the first time in the 30 years I have followed them that they have 45% in those assets I was just commenting they had over 40% in those assets back in August 1999, so it really isn't much greater now at 45%. No one was interested when I pointed out the 40% and started a thread, so I don't think they will get excited now at 45% <g> Besides, PGMs and PGM stocks look near their top, with hugh production increases coming out of RSA in the next few years.

RE: ASA holdings I get a lot from this thread so i thought i would put a little back. Just received this from ASA after a few days of waiting... The first part was my message addressed to them through their website. Their answer which i hope will be useful to Bob, Ike, Joan, Heinz (when not on the Clown Thread) MB and others ... >>> Your site is poorly designed. It is difficult to obtain information unless one is using Windows and some of the scripts just dont work. I am a buyer here of ASA but cannot find the information i need. What is your biggest holding? What companies are found in your holdings and in what percentages? Can you provide these details through text only email? <<< Our web site is presently being redesigned and should be available to you shortly. The information you require is as follows: CANADIAN GOLD MINES - 5.67% Barrick Gold Corporation Franco-Nevada Mining Corporation Ltd Placer Dome Incorporated SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINES - 45.85% Anglogold Ltd Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd ADR Harmony Gold Mining Co Ltd Gold Fields Ltd Western Areas Ltd DIAMONDS - 10.23% De Beers Consolidated Mines Ltd/Centenary AG MINING HOUSES - 8.89% Anglo American PLC PLATINUM - 26.49% Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd Anglo American Platinum Corporation Ltd <<< I own my quota of the names in there, some in soize, so i am not sure i really want to add here, unless my 10 dollar bid for ASA is hit of course... Somehow i think it wont be hit though, just that eery feeling before you go off carrening over the cliff i suppose. Remember, no investment advice intended to anybody. All disclaimers apply. sg
