it is good that the 'market' is bringing down gold that is up for the year

am experiencing difficulty in acquiring the officially sanctioned and properly stamped rmb-traded gold kilo bars. the bar is almost mythical. there were some on display at the launch ceremony shown on tv, w/o close up, and no pics can be found by google search on-line.

bank of china metal desk say they have none, and shall go looking in the coming week to sate our curiosity.

in-law has been tasked by the family to directly charge into the gold n silver exchange building and go door-to-door for the bar.

must have it, even if for commemorative purpose, because I believe the bar, legally sanctioned for trading in both hong kong and shanghai, would at some juncture trade at premium to lesser gold only sanctioned to trade in one of two places, until such time the rmb become legal tender around the planet.

we may well have dueling golds, the rmb gold that shall be, and the usd gold that were, last gold standing.

rmb gold could well encourage renewed thrift in china, as a rmb spent on gold is one less spent on anything else. gold is habit forming; so should savings.

more gold porn - buffet style - the boyz snarfed up some pre / post regular lunch gathering this past friday - i did some field work to ascertain premium over spot

premium over spot widened from 2.9 to 3.9% of the coins
