Pick Up The Phone Make Ten Thousand In A Day
European gold buying this week produced rapid profits for a few big players who placed simple trades by phone. A London dealer explained a hypothetical client who bought 1000 ounces at $99 750 and sold when price rose to $110, netting about $10 000 in one day while gold stayed in dealer safes. Potential Paris gains reached higher levels as prices spiked, though such cases are rare.
