Hello CB, Saw same articles in IHT, the sister publication, and I am in full agreement that all gold mines should be shut down. The action would help the cycle progress along, with many consequences, not all of them intended. Of course I am unsure of what the same logic would do to other types of mines, and also, a ban on gold trade will of course be not practical, and will make copper mining costly (no gold ingots to support the same mines' fixed cost, etc). I suppose folks can come up with a more costly but also cleaner way to mine gold. I would support such an initiative as strongly. There is always the route of enhancing central bank gold sales as a way to depress gold price and encourage the shutdown of mines, but that would destitute many, and is politically difficult to arrange. Chugs, J
