Or perhaps some "creative accounting"? :^) I have lots of doubts these days regarding companies that big... I doubt anyone knows what will happen these days, for example, the article began by concluding "Gold hedging costs to spiral" -- that may be so, but spot prices since then remain about the same or even dropped a bit. If, as rumoured, CSFB really paid £1 million for the seat last May, it seems odd to me that they'd do this, but I am becoming immune to surprise at what seem like huge cash outlays by a variety of companies these days and a person 'in the know' assures me that a million pounds is a drop in the bucket to CSFB. Oh well. Has anyone else noticed that http://www.e-gold.com/stats.html is back to "normal" (if there is such a state) now? I think it's a good sign. :) Also, I may have lost some email the other day (oh joy!) so if I seem slow in a reply to anyone it's probably because I'm not going to reply, but I don't want to ignore you, so please email me again if you think this has happened. thanks.
