Looking at the 100 plus billion that China has put out for oil, one would think that 2 billion for 30 billion of gold would hardly be noticed. Maybe they've been talking to Chavez, while negotiating for oil deals. Lets think positive....oops.....sorry about that :), lets think that China thinks the exchange rate is good enough to enter the fray. Geez, for a piddly 2 billion, they woyuldn't even have to do anything right away....just wait for more congenial cirumstances, and higher gold prices....come one Rober F, use your 'golden rolex' magic!!!!
