Gold is held in vaults of Central Banks. If they would sell that gold, people would pay money to the Central Bankers and the government would use that money and it would circulate into the economy. >>Some day Tobago Jack will be one of the superrich so his contributions to charity will be 100 times that of the sum of you and I together.<< I think I won't consider banning TJ, off the thread, I have never had a friendsuper rich and TJ can come in handy...

Before I go: < Andrew Carnegie. His steel mills contributed little or nothing to humanity but his libraries all over the continent of North America were a tremendous contribution to civilization. > His steel mills were great. How insulting to say they contributed little or nothing. I also add that the free Onehunga Carnegie Library [in Auckland, New Zealand] was of direct and great inspiration to me as a boy [about aged 8 or maybe it was 10 in the late 1950s] when my parents would take us there on a Friday evening [in our clunky Model A] and I'd get out books on rockets, volcanoes, nuclear reactors and stuff. I can still picture where to go and look in the libary for the good stuff. Now it's just another cafe. When I go by, I always admire it [the building and memory, not the cafe]. He made steel and libraries. Both were great. Others drink booze, buy flash cars and love casinos [and gold]. Mqurice
