Do the math, that&#039;s just about 0.1-0.2% of the population, certainly not a &#039;huge market&#039; you&#039;ll admit.&nbsp; As a percentage, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to learn the Au bullion/coin hoarding base has actually SHRUNK since 1979.</p><p><br /></p><p>Love to see some hard data, either way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
