Thanks for that historical data TJ. Using financial relativity theory and mathematical review of said data we should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010. How is the pollution level in Hong Kong today? In Auckland it is zero, and there is a clear blue sky, intensely bright sun [requires hiding from it if one has melanin deficiency], it is balmy and beautiful. The leaves are iridescent with their waxy epidermis clear of soot and the usual goop of the northern hemisphere. Freedom is not too bad here though officious spivs and bludgers running the kleptocracy are always on the lookout to meet their quotas of fining people for breaching capricious rules. Roads are uncongested, beaches are uncrowded even at full beach-going season. Here's to 2009. So far, so good. There seems no great rush to get Qi ready for action, but maybe it'll be up and running and US$ can start to be replaced. I'll goof off for a while then get on with the job. Mqurice

POG prediction - $720 USD 2009 Dec 31st USD 720/oz Low next year will be about $620, and price will be around $680 a lot. Why ? Still in Deflation for many months, and even when the money supply is inflated, there will be a delay before the gold market responds. I expect that gold at $2000 within 5 years is very probable. I will also predict that Platinum comes crashing back close to $800 per ounce again in 2009. Those big catalytic converters on SUVs have lots of Pt.

How long before larger numbers of people notice that gold has not had a down year for eight years? There's still very little discussion of gold in comparison with common stocks, to judge from the TV financial programs. Every so often Marc Faber comes along, and what Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers say implies good prospects for gold, but I don't think many people take them very seriously. Then there are the hopeless nutcase gold bugs whose names I won't mention. I myself don't dare discuss my interest in gold among friends and acquaintances because I don't want to be considered a lunatic now and detested later on (if I turn out to be right).

It looks as though my perspicacious prediction is on the money again: <Thanks for that historical data TJ. Using financial relativity theory and mathematical review of said data we should expect US$1100 at 31 Dec 2009 and $1400 at 31 Dec 2010. > The 31 Dec 2009 figure was right to 4 significant figures. We are tracking to $1400 as predicted too. Note the predictions were long ago in Dec 2008. We have to wait a few years, but reglaciation in 2020 and Peak People in 2037 along with Peak Oil in the same year are tracking well too. Meanwhile, QCOM is down at delightful prices [$32ish]. JPM and WFC are doing the right thing too. It looks as though there is a LOT of fun to come. Interest rates still have to get back up to nearer 10% than 0% and vast debts have to be resolved [probably in the usual manner], while standards of living are adjusted to more realistic proportions and relativity. Speaking of which, financial relativity theory continues to match reality. Black Scholes event horizons loom dauntingly close even as ion drive central bank pixelation processes attempt to accelerate 6 billion experimenters towards the speed of light to avoid going "aground". Because experiments by random number generator must fail 99.9999999% of the time, there is a good chance that the world scale experiments might not work according to plan. Fortunately, there is some applied intelligence being used so the odds are better than that. They are more like 50.0000001 to 49.9999999 that things will work out fine. Mqurice
