Garick - Good find. Here was an interesting corresponding comment to this article found on zerohedge.com.

" Now, what would happen if mutual and pension funds finally comprehend they are massively underinvested in the one asset which China is without a trace of doubt massively accumulating behind the scenes is nothing short of a worldwide scramble, not so much for paper, but every last ounce of physical gold...

Someday soon, an event or combination of events will usher in a global awareness that paper is only paper. When the floodgates open, the chase will be on for real gold but the price will be too high for most to join in, so the logical alternative will be the shares. It'll be good to already have a seat at the table when the party starts. Even a tiny fraction of worldwide funds shifting into this sector will have a massive effect on all things gold and silver.
