RE:Some Balance to DiamondboyLet me first say that Panmure Gordon , a London based broker who specialises in the diamond sector , came out with a report yesterday on 2023 rough prices. They forecast considerable price increases this year. De Beers have recently increased prices for smaller goods I believe by 15 pc. This is an area that mpvd specialises in, filling a void after Argyle closing down. You are right that zimnisky index two weeks ago showed .6 pc on an increase in week, followed by a .2pc drop last Saturday. What you failed to say though was that the index was up .4pc today for last week. That is a net 1pc gain in last 3 weeks. I think if this trend continues, mpvd could pay off 200m usd this year in debt.
