Four to five years ago when the equity bubble burst we were hopeful that gold demand would surface. But people went to other asset classes like real estate or hedge funds.

With the new consoles coming out -- and I said this five years ago when the PS2 and Xbox came out -- people all rush to ring the bell for the death knell of PC gaming, and it never seems to happen, and I don't think we're looking at that now, either.

We didn't know when we signed up for this thing, four months ago when she did, that we'd be in the Super Bowl. In fact, we didn't think about the dates being a problem.

We haven't had a burst. We have barely had a leak in the bubble. And I think that you'll see come spring, next quarter, that the hole in the bubble is going to be sealed up.

We're seeing both real estate and hedge fund become more uncertain now, and if it's going to happen, we'll see the investment demand for gold.

Middle East nations are getting more petro-dollars as (oil) prices rise, and they're not putting it back into paper assets. They're trying to protect the value of their profits -- just like in the 1970s -- so they're buying gold.
