Just for the Gold Bugs

From BBC today:

"South African gold producer Harmony has bid to take over larger rival Gold Fields, a merger that would create the world's biggest gold producer.
The move by Harmony is said to have the backing of a number of shareholders, including Russia's Norilsk Nickel.

They are thought to disagree with a plan to join up with Canada's Iamgold.

Harmony said the offer valued Gold Fields at 52.9bn rand ($8.24bn). The new merged firm would have a combined market value of $10bn (£5.5bn). "



FYI for the gold bugs. Wonder what impact this will have on the class action suit against one U.S. company manipulating the world price of gold.

    There's a big cover article on it in today's Financial Times. I haven't read it yet, but when I do I will try to report back.
