Are you worried about the major bank owned brokerages like Scotia Mcleod, RBC Dominion and Nesbitt Burns? Presumably you were talking about Vantage. Were their RRSP accts mixed in with general funds ? What if the far east has been the buyer of gold recently as some people seem to believe?

Excellent points Ray.. Heard an analyst on CNBC from Japan saying that he thinks the stalemate between the two parties in Japan will be broken within the next 48 hours with major conscensions being made..greater transparency was all I was able to pick up.. I wonder if that is another false alarm..if not it is going to be interesting to see what happens to the market..would think it would be good for gold. bobby ps just heard that warren buffett has nine billion in cash and told shareholder something to effect that he wouldn't have that next year.. guess Warren expects a big drop and bargains..I guess nothing does change

don't know if you are interested in this pei-intl.com If there is going to the dollar and euro won't there have to be a strong yen for that region of the world? Also heard Muriel Siebert speak yesterday..she said a lot of the currency difficulties could be solved if the group of seven set down much higher margin requirements for currency traders which would reduce their ability for incredible leveraging with little to put up..
