Koos Jansen: Dutch wanted their gold back more than the Bundesbank did

Bullion Star market analyst and GATA consultant Koos Jansen today analyzes how the Netherlands central bank managed to repatriate of a lot of its gold stored with the U.S. government even as the German Bundesbank has not managed to. Jansen's conclusion: The Dutch central bank actually wanted its gold returned, the Bundesbank not so much. His commentary is headlined "Dutch Gold Repatriation: Why, How, And When" and it's posted at the bullionstar.com Internet site.
In a second story, Jansen also calls attention to a Citigroup report scoffing at the Swiss Gold Initiative, a report disparaging gold as "a 6,000-year-old bubble" that yet may continue for another 6,000 years, which would make the bubble seem rather iron-clad. Jansen's commentary on the Citigroup report is headlined "Citibank Releases Anti-Gold Report Before Swiss Gold Referendum".
