  1. Here's a very interesting item from the Ticker Forum: Indiana considering a bill requiring gold accounts for state. Here's the bill. Zero chance of it being enacted, I would have thought.
  2. I think the big money last year was to be made shorting stocks (mainly banks), but that's not so easy to show in a graph.
  3. From the Ticker Forum: Gold NY Spot and Market Prices Diverging Wildly
  4. New use for gold: clothing. As an alternative to stashing your gold coins/bars in the wardrobe (or in addition to).
  5. I had thought that the Chinese were postponing a lot of things until after the Olympics, but now I see that it starts tomorrow on 8/8/08 which seems particularly auspicious (8 is lucky in China, I think?). Hmm, Wikipedia says that for the Chinese 8 is associated with "sudden fortune, prosperity" and that 888 is "three times the prosperity". I guess there are a few people here who might think that buying a lot of gold would help with that.
  6. Looks as though they may have been selling gold in order to buy up Visa.
  7. Another HPC refugee here. To be honest, the house price crash is underway, and the macroeconomic stuff (including gold price) is much more interesting now. On the subject of which, I came across this on FT Alphaville: Short View: Things are very bad, or very exaggerated While I still see gold going up further (on speculation and as a hedge against inflation), has it now gone above its long term price (in dollars)?
