<...diamond prices are holding up (cartel
of course)>

You got THAT right. Diamonds are actually quite common. Certainly, not what DeBeers would like us to think. They've done their job masterfully. Ya gotta give them credit where credit is due.

White shoes diamonds may be a girls best friend but not mine. I believe Jimmy Rogers had a piece in Worth a few months back about the deBeers diamond monopoly and how the Russians could upset it. The gold mkt needs a change in psychology I believe someday the mkts will overcome the manipulation by the central banks when I don't know . Mike
