I really don&amp;#39;t have enough info, but I am skeptical of this particular bit of news because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)  jewelry makers and industrial users use the LMBA market to buy gold.  If &amp;quot;HALF of the 400oz gold bars out there are realy tunsten&amp;quot;, then it would have been discovered long ago as gold bars got melted to make jewelry.  The last thing those short gold want is for some jewelry maker in India to start panic about Tungsten LMBA bars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)  If there were a lot of go Tungsten bars going around, there would be more evidence of it.  Stories in the Chinese press for example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the story of there being Tungsten filled gold bars at fort knox is a bit difficult to believe.  I mean, no one ever audits or visits the gold at fort Knox, so why spend the effort to create fake gold bars?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider this, if there was factual evidence of even one LMBA Tungsten filled bar being discovered anywhere, it would create a panic and drive gold buyers away from LMBA gold.  This would be an utter disaster for anyone short gold.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is over 100,000 tons of in the world.  Counterfitting even several hundred tons would not make that big an impact on the world gold supply, but it would created the risk of a complete disaster (a gold banking panic).  The risk/reward doesn&amp;#39;t seem worth it for someone trying to suppress gold.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/2632453333334036797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/2632453333334036797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html?showComment=1258069758310#c2632453333334036797' title=''/><author><name>Eric deCarbonnel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08023745289801416061</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='16647247438234894981'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-536279220921494690' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/posts/default/536279220921494690' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-6370572873970773510</id><published>2009-11-12T14:56:15.299-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T14:56:15.299-08:00</updated><title type='text'>IF he is right, then HALF of the 400oz gold bars o...</title><content type='html'>IF he is right, then HALF of the 400oz gold bars out there are realy tunsten.&lt;br /&gt;How do you tell who has the real and who has the fauls??&lt;br /&gt;Without testing every last one of them.&lt;br /&gt;IF he s right , then this is the biggest news ever in gold history.&lt;br /&gt;Would love to hear Erics take on this</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/6370572873970773510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/6370572873970773510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html?showComment=1258066575299#c6370572873970773510' title=''/><author><name>mr pinnion</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02141885907635151093</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-536279220921494690' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/posts/default/536279220921494690' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-2196454601954269289</id><published>2009-11-12T14:33:48.176-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T14:33:48.176-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Or he is completely insane and paranoïd conspiraci...</title><content type='html'>Or he is completely insane and paranoïd conspiracist, or (REAL) physical gold would skyrocket:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article14996.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also good news for goldowners:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/industry/mining/6546579/Barrick-shuts-hedge-book-as-world-gold-supply-runs-out.html</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/2196454601954269289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/536279220921494690/comments/default/2196454601954269289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html?showComment=1258065228176#c2196454601954269289' title=''/><author><name>Jimmy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09196802077456104331</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketskeptics.com/2009/11/trip-to-visit-black-earth-farmland-in.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-502356674750161309.post-536279220921494690' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/502356674750161309/posts/default/536279220921494690' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
