<A big change in jewelry demand may be 20% year-to-year, whereas a big change in investment demand may be 2,000% year-to-year. > In the last decade, investment demand (coins and bars) has been as high as 700mt, and as low as 46mt (last year). There has never been a year when year-to-year investment demand jumped more than 100% (1996-to-1997 was the best going from 247mt to 422mt, up about 70%) A 2000% increase on last year's pathetic 46mt would be 966mt, a level never seen in the last decade. A reasonable case for a 300-400% increase to the 200-250mt area could be made, while 2000% makes for a better goldbug newsletter headline or for a gold dealer promoting/selling gold.
