Trading green backs for gold is not a direction that makes the Fed happy right now.Australia , S/Africa , China &amp; the USA were the four top producers. S/A will mine fewer ounces in 2009 then 2008. They have dropped from #1 for the fist time in thirty years. Strikes, compliance upgrades and energy are serious problems. Coal mining is also difficult without the money to buy energy. Investors will not invest in mines that are out of compliance with the Govt of S/A .</p><p>It looks like other countries are having problems with making up the difference or demand is very strong. Possibly to strong for currencies to stay where they are today. Slowing down gold purchases will send people to silver and certified diamonds. Other commodities look like they have had the stuffing kicked out of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
