Craig: What is the short position in gold? How big is it? How large is the short position in relation to daily sales? Annual sales? Which varies more from year to year, supply for gold or demand? How much of the gold suplied to the market is coming from central banks? How much selling has there been from central banks? Why have they sold? How much more gold are they likely to sell? When? How do they sell it? Who buys it -- other banks or fabricators? Is the supply coming from mines enough to supply current demand? How price sensitive is gold demand? Why do people buy gold? How elastic is the supply of gold? Do central banks sell depending on the price or are there other reasons to sell or not to sell? TIA.

gosh...if 80% of gold demand is for jewelry purposes i don't see how you can state this so confidently.



How did you come up with the 80% number?
