makes sense...this black market demand for dollars in Europe may explain what on the surface appeared to be a logic defying move by the dollar to new highs in the face of aggressive and lone Fed easing.

The well-heeled turn to gold for alchemic transformation

London - Gold is worn usually as a sign of wealth, but the well-heeled of London and its environs have been eating it for years for health reasons and now believe it has anti-ageing benefits when used in facial treatments.

"In the past four or five months there has been an upsurge in what people do with gold," said Bruce Alexander, the joint owner of the Archipelago restaurant in London's West End. "We have been using it for many years here - we try to do something different with food."

A lot of the food prepared at Archipelago is geared towards healthy eating - such as kangaroo meat, scorpions and locusts - and gold is used for the same reasons. (cont)
