Dan, et al,

There wasn't anything in Barron's this past week focused on PMs but Part II of Barron's Round Table included some interesting comments from Marc Faber. He believes silver will move higher relative to gold near term and has it on his buy list. He sees gold holding here or possibly falling below 400 near term, but rising seriously by year end. He feels gold should be a part of everyone's portfolio. He expects the dollar to fall a lot more though its fall may be delayed until the second half of the year. It is most interesting that no one seemed to strongly disagree with him.

In Abelson's column it is mentioned that NG storage is greater than last year and he quoted an analyst saying that its price should fall back to the $3.50 range. This should be good for the economy.

The GMI/POG ratio:

On 01/22, the Barron's GMI was 642.46, up from the previous week's 626.38. With the POG up slightly at 409.00(01/23) the ratio was up at 1.57.

The ratio a year ago was 1.37.
