Gold won't tarnish as a world money factor says platinum leader
Robin Plumbridge, president of South Africa's Chamber of Mines, argues gold will remain a major money market factor at about $150 an ounce. He notes gold's value may fluctuate but long term demand is balanced by investment demand and commercial use. He says demonetization won't happen as gold never tarnishes and retains value.

Opponents warn rule change threatens exchanges
New York officials and Wall Street critics warn the SEC plan to permit off floor trading could erode auction markets that meet buyer and seller for best prices. NYSE chairman William M. Batten says mergers may rise and regional access could shrink as in house markets expand. He notes investors could lose best price discovery and calls for timely, prudent regulation. The NYSE also resists broad options trading and keeps merger talks with the American Stock Exchange alive though quiet.
