from India several weeks back. I was asked him how gold sales were at this time of year. He commented normally strong but recently the younger crowd have asked for other items other than gold and they seemed to be loosing interest...he mentioned diamonds in particular. I thought of this conversation when I read an article this morning about sales of gold were down in India for this time of year. I'm goot with diamonds..hah...well I would just love the diamond market to shine although some stocks have done well I'd like to see swy and mpv trade for those higher dollars.....one of these days. Mpv in particulay has come along ways from the under a buck but has a long ways to go....it seems.
