another gold point to disagree on... still no gold views I used to teach myself, publish a little, so what? I find the topic of gold fascinating and very misunderstood full of politicized views, ignorance, and assumptions just trying to understand your views and finding no satisfaction my original message to you was an invitation refused, Jim

thanks, but just one added factor addressed -- trade debt it aint about supply, never has been even in previous spikes I believe the Supply Argument is the Great Gold Myth it is about heightened demand periodically over the ages that is precisely why I address its many other factors excess supply did not explain the 1980 spike but if that exhausts your limits, fine stop by anytime and share your wisdom, appreciated / jim

seriously, Zeev, thanks for sharing thoughts, I didnt dig your thread is very interesting, many bright people its volume overwhelms me sometimes when trying to find certain topics you may have addressed gold issues many times over the months my lack of digging is no proof of lack of your shared views politics and fear are two interesting factors for gold one keeps it down one sends it up but imho Central Banks are left with few weapons besides TALK they can surely continue to drain their gold reserves but they did that all thru the 1990's and like cowards, they did it secretly and collusively probably illegally via gold leasing now that the public and Congress is shining lights on them I dont think they will continue to unload tons of gold just look at the firestorm in England's Exchequer now poor Eddy might be impaled in Trafalgar Square curious your reaction to "Gold Mines Exposed" I found it surprising, despite being pro-Gold have a good weekend / jim
