<SPAN

>: No, actually Homestake's share price
initially fell too from $83.50 just before the crash to $65 about two weeks
after the crash. So perhaps the law of substitution did initially apply. But
from November 15th and thereafter, Homestake's shares rose dramatically, to a
high of over $500 by 1936. And during 1932, when the DJIA had lost 90%, <SPAN
class=SpellE>Homestake's shares had reached $162. So investors who
diversified their portfolios with a little Homestake
were able to travel through the Great Depression relatively unscathed, while
those who owned only the Dow Jones Industrials, were
devastated.”

<SPAN
>Unfortunately; a google search
didn't turn up the article referenced. In this article;
he referenced the fact that the price
of
<SPAN
>Homestake Mining SOARED during the
depression of the 30's. How odd is this; or difficult to understand;
given that the
<SPAN
>economy at that time was
undergoing massive deflationary pressures? I can only suppose that it
has something to do with
<SPAN
>the following historical events;
on which I would like someone to please comment? I suppose the question
I'm asking is that
<SPAN
>if the economy teeters towards
deflation; can't a case be again made for gold? Many feel that
gold will not be a good
<SPAN
>investment in a deflationary
scenerio.

<SPAN
>"An aftermath of the Panic of 1929
was a wave of currency hoarding and gold withdrawals which resulted in the
failure of 5,504 banks between 1930 and 1933. Commodity prices sank to
their lowest levels in 20 years. To restore confidence in the banks, to
stop the gold drain, and to bring about higher commodity prices, President
Roosesvelt issued a proclamation of <st1:date Year="1933"
Day="6" Month="3"><SPAN
>March 6,
1933<SPAN
>,
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>
<SPAN
>* closing all the banks in
the courtry for 4 days,
<SPAN
>* placing an embargo on the
export of gold, silver and currency during that period,
and
<SPAN
>* ordering that gold and
silver could not be exported or withdrawn except on a license from the
Treasury Department.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>
<SPAN
>The President's actions were
confirmed by Congress in the Emergency Banking Relief Act of
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>March 9,
1933<SPAN
>, which also authorized the
Secretary of Treasury to call in all gold and gold certificates in the
country. The foregoing government actions took the
<SPAN
>U.S.<FONT
face=Arial size=2> off the
gold standard and made it illegal for
<SPAN
>U.S.<FONT
face=Arial size=2> citizens
to own gold."
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>
<SPAN
>From "Historical Survey--Gold
Prices" by David Williams......CYCLES Sep/Oct
1981.
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>
<SPAN
>Prior
to <SPAN
>Roosevelt<FONT
face=Arial size=2>'s
actions; gold was selling around $20/oz. Here is some pricing info
after <SPAN
>Roosevelt<FONT
face=Arial size=2>'s
actions:
<FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>
<SPAN
>"The money panic was
checked. Then the President authorized the Secretary of the Treasure to
buy gold at higher prices, viz. $29.62 an ounce at the end of August 1933,
$31.36 on <FONT
face=Arial size=2>October
25, 1933<SPAN
>, $34.06 on
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>December 18,
1933<SPAN
> and $35 on
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>January 31,
1934<SPAN
>; at which level it remained for
the next 37 years and the dollar was only worth
59.06."

<SPAN

comments.
