I see, Mark. According to those data US inflation in the last year was only a little bit over 2%. So the stimulus to buy gold comes from the balance of payments, the rapidly increasing public debt and the very high consumer debt, not yet from inflation.

1995	2.02%	1.41%	0.60%
1996	2.94%	1.71%	1.21%
1997	1.31%	0.80%	0.50%
1998	1.41%	1.00%	0.40%
1999	2.73%	1.41%	1.31%
2000	3.24%	2.32%	0.90%
2001	0.70%	1.41%	-0.70%
2002	2.42%	1.81%	0.60%
2003	1.50%	1.20%	0.30%


I assumed the numbers in the table from data.bls.gov are month-to-month (right?)

It looks VERY good... what's been the heating costs and gas doing lately?
