I've spent the day at a Chinese Art, and Gold, and Paintings Auction today... the PRICES of items containing gold were ASTRONOMICAL..... but Diamonds weren't selling well. For those of you who know, a flawed 5 Carat diamond went for Ł3,500 whereas we all expected Ł10,000 to Ł12,000 prices.... It was a shock!

The funny item was a Chinese Jade disk. Three were sold in a row, the first was Ł210, the second was Ł230.... the third one (estimated at the same values) had an OPENING bid of Ł12,500...... and rose to Ł15,500..... even the auctioneer's COLLEAGUES gasped! God only knows what happened!

It just seems that people are starting to hedge their investments into SOLID objects (gold, antiques, paintings, etc.) rather than 'currency' or 'business'. Damned scarey times, chaps!
