people robbing people makes the price of gold go up, not down. Oh come one Jay, I am just worried about your personal safety in the street. Who cares about the price ! :0)))) So, what is the matter with buying and investing in gold? Nothing wrong with that. But I think I can put my money elsewhere with higer return. Do you know which startup will rival Microsoft? Microsoft has a darn good balance sheet still. A good investment, even though Google is threatening them. It is still a rock solid company. Gold will be gold, and will still be valuable 200 years from now, to the offspring of the original purchaser, as long as not sold. And there is no management risk or R&D danger. So you are purely a gold keeper, bar none... not even invest in the expanding capital world. This is a bit socialist view. Hope you can hide your gold, generation after generation for 200 years.

China wants trade pact with India. Delhi would have to grant "market economy" status to China, something that most of the developed countries have so far refused to do China wants trade pact with India..Saibal Dasgupta [ 7 Nov, 2006 0241hrs BEIJING: China is pushing India to sign a free trade agreement between the two countries. This would mean New Delhi would have to grant "market economy" status to China, something that most of the developed countries have so far refused to do. The matter is expected to come up for discussion during Chinese president Hu Jintao's visit to India from November 20. "Following the reopening of the trade post on the Indian-Chinese border, our government is considering FTA talks with India," Chinese assistant minister of commerce Fu Ziying said at a recent meeting of the 2007 China Industrial Development Forum in Beijing. The two countries recently reopened cross-border trade at the Himalayan Nathu La Pass last July, 44 years after trade ended in the wake of a short border war between them. India has filed the largest number of patent violation cases against Chinese companies at the World Trade Organisation. Chinese leaders feel that the main reason for this is that New Delhi refuses to recognise China as a free market economy. However, most western countries have taken the same stand saying that China subsidies its exportable products and cannot be regarded as a free market economy. Beijing managed to persuade four African nations to grant China the status of free market economy following announcements by president Hu Jintao of large-scale assistance to the African continent.
