Gold Price Hits Six-Month High as More Gains Seen
JCK
Sep. 10 , 2012
name="ACCOUNT.IMAGE.2913" style="text-align: left;">
The price of gold hit a six-month high last week-and now some forecasters predict
the metal's price will start to rise again. Gold closed at $1,728 on Sept. 7. The
metal hadn't reached the $1,700 level since March-and for most of the year has been
showing mostly flat growth. track="on" style="color: rgb(140, 140, 106); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">

Compare the business Diamonds to the business of Gold, the Diamond industry is very
small. The worldwide retail market for diamond jewelry was $60-B in Y 2010, and
like the Gold business, the Diamond business involves several sectors: 1. Miners,
producers and sellers of the rough goods. 2. Cutters and polishers. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0016yDL73TvdZPJ1uii9NwSPM07CEp5JrPQ_e-TbIsYD0874ltQK7L_XiR35YyLygSmhQMa7ZnYhyAdBN3WYL0SKPNE3bjtamSHTe6PvxZoW3xhO10gSPe8TySvESIWLSJdHaSD1ycK21M28LcWmJYYg1B7gsvCubg9DBPAPhQf9XgquEPVbg7NmlWT6fQEiU1zrx-in-naLiU="

Should your business website

public stand on a political, social or religious issue. The privately-held fast
food chain did so on a highly visible national scale, but the same thing happens
every day -- albeit much more quietly -- at the small business level. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0016yDL73TvdZPJ1uii9NwSPM07CEp5JrPQ_e-TbIsYD0874ltQK7L_XiR35YyLygSmhQMa7ZnYhyAdBN3WYL0SKIJqhRmteTNFM2IJtaE7MiIKxnoX342-DoKApjgRxEvBTnfMH3-Bz9t4JViiYH9cMRzeyW0-jhGtF9EyCdPqu966xWXUwsp4_g_MwKpIwefmYCyaIz5Z9QHHn81pf1F3wRbK4RUXC_GTzTgJdZ8HRakB6mnop_92PzxKzAvFhCii"
