<<But with Osama gone for good, it might be bad for gold, don't you think? <ggg>>> Maybe a slight bit, but gold gave up most of the rally of 9-11 rather quickly, didn't it. Much of the current PoG rally is based on bank / currency concerns of Japan / 3rd world / US...Getting bin Laden won't fix a single Japanese bank. Then again, capture / death of bin Laden might even increase demand - drive a demand spike. "When Johnny comes marching home", he often gets married. Today the greatest % of US soldiers / sailors belong to ethnic groups other than Anglo - groups that prefer yellow gold jewelry to jewelry of white gold / platinum. Look around, sure, you may see the white precious metals on skinny white girls, those hooked on the current style. The next wave of demand will not be driven by the rail skinny boring white girls. Look, instead to jewelry styles worn by the likes of J-Lo, Nelly Furtado, Christina Aguilera,- beautiful song birds, who more closely resemble the current coming complexion of the new - no longer white bread - US. The current / coming US will contain a greater number ethnic population groups that well know the enduring value & beauty of yellow gold and are less a slave to the fashion trend of the moment. There is hope the rail skinny white girls are also learning - or at least picking up the trend of yellow tone gold. Have you seen Pink? She wears yellow gold. The P.C. war against wearing yellow gold is failing & more people are understanding yellow gold helps instead of hurts the peoples of much of the developing world. Those that claimed they would help the poor by forcing Central Bank sales lied & only helped the commercial bankers. Watch some MTV, but feel free to(sometimes also) mute the sound. You'll see plenty of gold & hear and hear more than a few golden voices..

Osama - the fact that he has not been captured is an embarrassment, and so the spin merchants are busy minimising his importance. Anyway his capture or death has long been swept aside in the larger aim of imperial expansion with or without allies. Hopefully IMO if Blair supports the overthrow of Sadaam the backbenchers will vote with the LIB/Dems and topple him. The question is now - is the world a safer or more dangerous place now that Pandora's Box has been opened? The so called war against terrorism is being used a a pretext for open season on opposition forces in country after country.
