I dont see the Chinese here in the forefront; they want

base metals in the first place like CTQ. Less risk for

the Chinese to buy bullion in the market

However I cant get Temasek Singapore out of my mind

PROVIDED they can do a JV deal with an experienced and

trustworthy operator like Vale or Agnico - a way to

diversify further from financials (they have already 10 % of

Citibank und bailed out USB; have a stake in Grindlays..) -

this way they get out of dollars and obtain gold exposure

at least this way I would skin the cat and throw out

ARU thieves

just some thought tonite
