    I remember when I was Group CFO of a pan-European business which was structured geographically. (UK Division of 6 companies, French Division of 3 Companies, Scandinavian Division of 4 Companies etc).

    We acquired a small Polish company and asked the Head of the Germany Division if he would want to have it in his portfolio.

    A week later Uwe decided to reject the offer - I said ‘It’s a pity you ‘bustards’ didn’t feel the same way about Poland in 1939 .......’ <laugh>

    I think you will find that the fact that the gold was put on the market caused the price drop. It was inevitable. Demand for gold is pretty stable (unless some government starts a hoard) and supply is pretty steady too so when gold comes on the market in any quantity the price will drop. At the moment, gold is up due to many resorting to it for their investments. War and crises are great for gold prices.

    The nuget did sell off a pile, which was criminal given we didn't have a large amount to start with! you will be surprised who is stockpiling Gold reserves, and Russia and Germany head the list. You are prudent when in times like these you diverse into Gold and other precious metals, and stocks in Crypto-currencies and Gold mining stocks.................<ok>

    Fauci Backed Wuhan Lab with Millions of Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research



    please log in to view this image

    The more we look into the origins of this novel Coronavirus strain, the more we seem to come back to the Wuhan laboratory in China, which has fueled the ongoing finger pointing at China and of course the anti-China propaganda. But while it may turn out to be true that the virus did leak from the Wuhan lab, we must consider the outside interests in this controversial laboratory. For example the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses only last year.

    In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million. Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release. Its also worth noting that the Laboratory itself was not single handedly created by the Chinese Government, this was a joint effort with the US Government:

    In 2015, the WIV’s National Bio-safety Laboratory was completed at a cost of 300 million yuan ($44 million) in collaboration with the French government’s CIRI lab, and was the first biosafety level 4 (BSL–4) laboratory to be built in mainland China. The establishment of the laboratory was partially funded by the U.S. government and took over a decade to complete from its conception in 2003. Just how much other outside influences are responsible for the daily running and decision making processes within the lab itself is relatively unknown, but you can be sure that any incompetence and malpractice is not just in the hands of the Chinese.


    All the above is in the public domain................<ok>
