Gold hits $1,000 for first time

Great news.

The British government sold almost 400 tonnes of gold between 1999 and 2001 at an average price of $275 per ounce, raising $2.3bn.

At 2008 prices that sale would have raised more than £8bn.

Brown should make up the difference out of his own pocket money.

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

All they need is an alchemist, but all they have are alkies.

Well it will keep my JPM Gold and General fund flying along quite nicely if nothing else.

Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.
