    I wonder how much physical gold can be accounted for?Not just here but anywhere.

    Very interesting article.

    I wonder how much the balance of these reserves has changed over the past year since the world entered this financial crisis. I wonder if central banks are hoarding more gold (expected) or if they're seeking other types of reserves (other currencies, commodities).

    The gold price suppression scheme of the Central Banks has required most of the gold cited in this article to be leased out. So the actual physical possession of this gold is far different than shown here. It has been reported, for example, that Germany's gold vaults are empty.

    Gold has the wonderful property of being the most malleable metal in existence. This, despite its very limited supply, allows it to be beaten into forms that seemingly stretch to all corners of the world.

    Not only does the IMF own 3,200 tons, little Afghanistan claims to have 400 tons on deposit in Switzerland. As its economic importance grows you can be sure more and more holders will surface, each with a piece of paper proving title. They won't want you to actually see it of course, for security reasons you understand.

    Lets face it folks, this is just speculation, pure and simple. Unless one can SEE, via inspection, the gold that is alleged to be held, there is NO gold! To say that Ft. Knox is the home of ANY gold is ludicrious. If the US DID have any gold, it would be buried in the backyards of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Frank, and Dodd.
