Aleksandr:

I hope I speak for all of us here who are for now the main crowd
of this list service:

Keep it up.  We enjoy your contributions.

I am not ready to make any bet on new Asian demand for the (precious)
metal for some time.

In the meantime, according to an articel in Barrons 2 major scholars have
stated recently in the Wall Street Journal that the P/E of the stock market
might easily be correctly worth twice what we are paying for the stocks 
now.

$24 billion new money went into stocks this last month (into stock funds)
and even if some of this came out of cookie jars or were the result of 
many people paying minimum payments of burgeoning credit card debts, the
pressure is clear.  The DOW and the NASDAQ composite averages are heading
up another 10%.

It would not surprize me to see a DOW industrial avergage of 11,200 this year.
It might land at 9500 at year end, but that's OK.
