RE: an article on jewelry demandI have not heard about this "loose gold" demand....can you explain a bit more....who are the buyers, what do they use it for? or maybe a link?
actually I am not a big fan of diamonds and have difficulty thinking of them in the same space as precious metals
did anyone notice in the K report that the number of oz they sold was less than they produced? inventory/distribution glitch? hoarding waiting for better prices? given the difference between demand and supply I had always just assumed that the mines sold everything they made (with the exception of G which keeps some for itself but that is a stated policy)
