You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Except these are lower class diamonds not what would be used for commercial sale.

The great majority of diamonds mined are destined for industrial use already anyways. Most likely the article mentioned it as a disclaimer for those believing the russians have an endless suply of jewels at hand.

Still this could be an extremely powerful economic weapon. Full-scale mining could make a market worth billions collapse. Hey, it could end the blood diamond conflicts in Africa.


....Uhmmmm....are you making some kind of statement based on analysis or just talking for the sake of talking?

What? It's common knowledge a very large supply of anything will push prices down dramatically. That's how the market works and any economist can tell you that. What part of that is so hard to understand for your mind? 

I gave up medical school to study and work with financial and tax law so unlike certain posters here I'd think I'm allowed to talk about certain subjects more confidently without being harassed by annoying questions. 


If it's common knowledge, why comment? You have no inside knowledge of anything so it's just baseless conjecture and therefore pointless to post on something you have no in depth knowledge of...no?

It's not an insult.

what's your beef with Israel ?

Wrong thread, but I have wife with Palestinian roots, studied middle eastern history as a minor. I want Israel to follow international laws and hope that someday US will actually be a real unbiased negotiator in the region and forcea two-state solution. My religious views have nothing to do with it and slimebeast and I have a history with this topic.


Palestinians and Israelis are the same people with different religion. And i doubt two state thing would work out. Still thanks for answering

How do you get that they are lower class.  They're actually harder than diamonds used in jewelry and subsequently more valuable.
