From Richard Russell, The Dow Theory Letters.

So there you have it. Among countries, Italy, France, Germany, and the US have the most gold. Switzerland has a third of what they have.

The UK, South Africa, Australia, and Saudi Arabia are next with about  1/5th – 1/10th as much.

Russia and Japan have only a small percent in gold.

China and India have even less.

What do  most Asians have?

Debt (treasuries and dollars) from the US.

Neo-colonialism anyone?
