By the way, it's nice to be back.... not that I was ever the most prolific poster on this thread... but despite being internetless while emigrating, I've managed to check in for a quick lurk most days. Always enlightening.

Hi Marceau, Those two statements seem to be a bit at odds with one another. Currencies worth a hell of a lot less would suggest gold worth a hell of a lot more, in fiat terms at least.

Seems to be on a bit of a tear at the moment... at this rate, it'll be over $910 in about 15 minutes.

back over $900!

Ah-ha! I stand corrected! Those Hollywood art directors exercising their creative licence.

Keeping a beady eye on the ol' Joe-Publicometer.... What's going on here?

The Halifax index shows that prices are down 7.84% from their peak in August 07. What Howard Archer is effectively saying, is that there'll only be another 4% or so of falls before the end of 2009. Personally, I don't see what's going to stop the rot. Edit... the June, July, August falls are only taken into account by the YoY

The precious metal getting ever more precious.... From Money Week http://www.moneyweek.com/file/48194/the-pr...e-precious.html

Wow. Down 14 points in 15 minutes!

Looks from the Bullionvault information as though there's a continuing steady rise in their gold.... the rise tailing off a little if anything. Strange how the amount of cash that the 46,000 users have on hand corresponds so closely to the price of gold. I'd guess that's buying occuring on dips. Also, the distribution of cash has moved away from pounds towards euros. Seems like Brits have been buying gold or withdrawing cash, while Europeans have either been selling or charging their accounts. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess it's the buying and charging option. Any thoughts? W.
