Hey All,

Can anyone please point me to some reasonably good numbers on the total value of the gold market?

When I say the "gold market," I mean gold in all forms: metal and paper:

METAL

- Government gold reserves
- Privately held bullion
- Official Guv'ment Coins (Eagle, Leaf, Kugerrand, Panda)
- Jewelry
- Industrial
- Coinage (Numismatic)

PAPER

- Futures
- Options
- Warrants
- ETFs

OTHER

- Mines, public and privately held
-Any economies left still on the gold standard, and/or have their currency pegged to gold?

Thx,
Keith

you want that or you want all the farmland in the USA.

gold is a comfort pick for the dumb money who has missed the stock rally.
 
You really shouldn't include "paper" in your research.
Futures can be settled in Cash. Options can be settled in cash.
Warrants are generally exercised for a different paper instrument.
The (said) amount of underlying physical for ETFs should be listed in prospectus.

The amount of Official government minted bullion and precious metal coins can normally be found through the mint of the issuing country.

155 thousand metric tons is a number that is commonly thrown around.....
