re China it was tongue in cheek, yes, and, yes, it is factoids - both gold n silver in China and family trees. I guess by now Jay is grimassing at both of us. >>I think we all agree that bad loans and bad monetary policy were more to blame, but what we disagree on is what effect gold had.<< Not just effect, Id say role. Silver, gold, what's the difference, when the trust in paper money is on the wane. People look for alternatives - shells, mill stones, you know it. In this sense, from not too close, silver and gold are both safe (safer...) havens. regards dj
