long-term supply demand equation: It shows that, with supply stagnant, and demand
steadily increasing, diamond prices will go up in the long-term. When I was in Vegas,
I saw three presentations with that chart. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

Best Buy has been in the news lately. Its founder has resigned his position,

the sole big electronics store. href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0012BSDwX0Zky9xwrlaoU0rFD3GEnkjmOa1VoP5CIlGMm_QLqBzVaIOnJr9UHC20lBHSoEL4uPsRbYg7yD-sV-N-kMuVhyOsLan0GAJxa6LWwmyAbRPQ4KGsqvIQ907p5jUKw531cdP8fVn2HTbO-HudJKbw4LPgrXBZuUDveITCR0="
