NY Gold Hits 15-Year High in First '04 Session



January 5, 2004
By Alden Bentley

NEW YORK, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Gold futures traded above $425 an ounce for the first time in more than 15 years in New York Monday, extending its watershed rally on the first trading day of 2004 as investors continued to diversify out of the beleagured dollar.

Other precious metals surged as well, but gold is considered a form of currency and is seen as a hard alternative to the greenback. It built on last year's 20 percent gain as the dollar hit a new low against the soaring euro and fell to its cheapest level against the yen in three years.

At the COMEX division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, February gold rose to $425.50 an ounce, its highest since the summer of 1988, as London traders wrapped up for the day.

Here's a germane excerpt from that head spinner:

"Either the jets were ordered to stand down (get your tinfoil hats on!) or the military was asleep at the switch and thus criminally negligent."

"I heard parts of the hearing on C-SPAN yesterday. It turns out there was a NORAD exercise the morning of 9/11. I suspect initial reports of what was going on that morning were discounted as being part of the exercise."

"But that raises the question: how were the terrorists able to learn and take advantage of the timing of that exercise? Just as we've had to wonder how they later that morning showed knowledge of White House codes and communication procedures."

Given the duplicitous arab-american translators the FBI had working for us is it any wonder?
