I'm looking forward to hitting IBM again, but I'm going to wait possibly for the rest of this year by the looks of things. In response to imprisine's question of which SI member is A.G. I think this is a likely candidate... Member 7529158 If we can stave off deflation by giving money away via the market, so be it. It would seem more simple if AG just sent everyone a brown envelope stashed with money though. It is, after all, how we do things in the British Parliament -lol- (from 1999) news.bbc.co.uk

COMEX gold dives to six-week low as stocks soar Tuesday October 15, 3:18 pm ET NEW YORK, Oct 15 (Reuters) - COMEX gold skidded to a six-week low Tuesday, trampled under a Wall Street stampede back into recovering equities. Gold for December delivery (0#GC:) fell $5.20 to settle at $313.40 an ounce, trading from $319.30 to $313, its lowest since Sept 3. Spot gold (XAU=) last fetched $312.80/3.30, down from $317.80/8.30 at Monday's close and London's afternoon spot fix at $316.20 an ounce. "The market is long and I guess with the stock market performing the way it is, obviously more profit-taking has occurred in the gold," said George Parrill, a vice president at bullion dealer ScotiaMocatta in Toronto. "If the stock market continues, you may see even more (gold selling.) The next level of support is the $310 area." Monday's jitters about another wave of terror attacks took a back seat after offering a safe-haven cushion for gold in morning trade. Overbought investors ditched the low-yielding yellow metal to chase the stock market, which only a week ago was plumbing six-year lows but got a new lease on life after recent positive earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 3.9 percent, or 307 points, in late trade, following a near six percent surge in European shares. "Everyone thinks everything is fine again. I actually think it's something to fade," a gold dealer said, recommending stock investors sell into the rally. "I can't help but think this bubble will be burst in another 24 hours or so." A weaker euro helped make dollar-based gold less attractive to European investors and fabricators. The gold selling came despite lingering jitters over the deadly weekend bombing on Indonesia's resort Island Bali, which raised the specter that Islamic extremists of al Qaeda were regrouping to target Americans and other Westerners. The move punctured the floor of the $315-$325 range which confined gold in recent weeks. On Sept 24 December gold hit $329.30 an ounce, failing to get back to the 2002 highs from June at $333.30, even with Wall Street in the jaws of one of the meanest bear markets since the Great Depression. "It's mostly equity and dollar related," said David Meger, analyst at Alaron Trading in Chicago. "Needless to say, when the market started taking out the $316.50 lows you saw long liquidation." December silver (0#SI:) rose 1.5 cents to $4.323 an ounce, trading $4.285 to $4.34 after failing to retest the eight-month low at $4.28 hit last week. Spot silver closed $4.31/33, up from $4.30/32 late Monday. Tuesday's silver fix was $4.305 an ounce. NYMEX January platinum (0#PL:) rose $3 to $581 an ounce. Spot platinum (XPT=) was quoted at $590/595. December palladium (0#PA:) gained $3 to settle at $321.50 an ounce. Spot palladium (XPD=) was at $315/321.
