Silver Hits Another Record Price

Gold rose on Monday but remained below a 25-year peak of $598 an ounce hit last week, while silver gained more than 2 percent to hit new highs not seen in more than 22 years.

Spot gold rose to $592.75/593.50 an ounce from $588.00/588.90 an ounce late in New York on Friday, when the metal hit another multi-year high on buying from funds and investors.

The upside target was pegged around $600 an ounce, a level last seen in December 1980.

"It's certainly looking to test that area," said Darren Heathcote, head of trading at N M Rothschild in Sydney.

The price dips attracted buying from investors but it may not be strong enough to push up gold to $600 during Asian trading, said Heathcote, adding that the metal could find stiff resistance at $596.

Investors have turned to the booming commodities markets for investment alternatives to lagging equity, bond and foreign exchange markets, said dealers.

Tensions in the Middle East, uncertainty about the dollar's outlook, worries about rising energy costs and speculation that central banks would diversify into metals have also boosted gold's appeal, they said.

Do you people have a facebook fan page? I looked for one on twitter but could not pick up on one, I would actually love to become a fan! Thanks a lot

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

It's definitely a charming and worthy piece of facts. I'm happy that you shared this helpful content with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.

I too believe therefore , perfectly composed post! .

Hi. This blog was extremely fascinating, mostly because I was looking for ideas on this matter before lunch.

My husband and i have been really happy when Ervin could complete his basic research out of the precious recommendations he grabbed through your blog. It's not at all simplistic just to possibly be releasing tricks that many other folks could have been selling. We really know we need you to appreciate for that. All of the illustrations you made, the straightforward blog menu, the relationships you can assist to create - it's all astonishing, and it's making our son and the family reason why the idea is fun, which is incredibly vital. Many thanks for all!

City of Melbourne is amount 1. The depth of their redesign was amazing, and its applications throughout all media is equally refreshing and functional. I am unsure if AOL meets a similar degree of usefulness. Sure, it is a step about the earlier style, but how much additional so? And to what conclude? Very well, that is my two cents. Peace.

how aged is th is post?

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
