A New Widget
I was just over at Ancona's blog, while there I saw he had an interesting widget which I will try out now. It comes from ClustrMaps and it apparently will track where my visitors come from for all to see.

Tracking The eBay / 24hgold.com PM Price And Premium Widget
I have undertaken a new project, much smaller in scale than my earlier one to categorize Zero Hedge articles.
I have been interested in that widget ever since I first found it (at 24hgold.com, at the bottom of the home page). It is a very imperfect measure of physical demand vs. paper gold price at the retail level. Yes, I know it tracks Gold and Silver Eagles only, but that is what the widget itself tracks.
I have just started this, so the below results are NOT particularly meaning (except for the majestic 115% premium of ASEs over spot, I have seen it at over 80% but never over 100%) because of the very short time frame.
Note that typically AGEs run some 5.5% - 8.5% over spot. The LARGER numbers here I have often seen when PM prices PLUNGE like they have lately.
As time goes by, this information might become more useful, I am hoping that it will give us clues as to when the physical markets for gold and silver get tight...
I very much would welcome ideas and suggestions!
EDIT:
I lost price data (spot gold and spot silver) when I published this (the farthest right two columns did not come through). I think I will produce this in future posts with a GoogleDoc link, as I know how to do that now.
RE-EDIT:
Published in the cloud, this link includes price data for Au and Ag:
