Terry >What did you expect to happen when they brought Robert Rubin back? < May be so, but he's certainly done a magnificent prop-up job on the USD which is the main concern. I suppose with Japan in recession and Europe in the doldrums it wasn't too difficult. Still, with interest rates almost nil, stock prices valued at historic highs (on the basis of fictitious earnings) and State-printed money pumping into a paralysed economy like there's no tomorrow one has to believe that gold will regain some investment merit. By the way, I read on GPM that you're very interested in anthrax!! Here's something for you to ponder: newscientist.com

Twice as much to ponder on now it is not public to my knowledge abcnews.go.com bioport was created solely to take over the assets of MBPI by Adm. Crowe, his partners in a company called Intervac L.L.C. and a group of former managers of the Michigan-based institute. It is Intervac that has the most interesting history. Crowe owns 22.5 percent of Intervac shares, though he hasn’t invested a penny" in the venture. Another 30 percent of Intervac shares are owned by Nancy El-Hibri, a mother and homemaker in suburban Maryland and the rest of the company is in the hands of "I&F Holdings," a company directed by Nancy El-Hibri’s father-in-law, Ibrahim El-Hibri, a Venezuelan citizen, and her husband, Fuad El-Hibri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent.
