While I have NO clue why you are fascinated with my panties, I can easily dispute your latest silly utterance: you said: "...if you have gold bars they are heavy, difficult to move around -" HORSE PUCKEY!!!

I was in my favorite refiners just last week. While I was there being waited upon, the wrought iron gate opened and a nice looking oriental chap walked in to pick up his order.
He opened the plain kraft colored envelop, about half the thickness of a package of cigarettes, slipped the 30+oz kilo bar out briefly and let its golden beauty slip deliciously back inside the small, unmarked envelop.

Then he reached into his BULLLLLLLLGING pants pocket and pulled out a WADDDDDDDDD of bills, seen only in gangster movies, and counted out over $10,000 in circulated but crumpled up paper.

I did NOT notice him particularly listing starboard from the small envelope AND contents in his shirtpocket as he left.

No, Double D, gold bars are NOT heavy and difficult to move around. And neither are diamonds, emeralds etc. Only some out of touch, never had held one or seen one in his entire life would even utter that nonsense.

Oh, and regarding my stock in GM? Well, IT sits in my driveway, and is NOT difficult to move around either, silly!

And since I can't drive a "GM stock certificate" why in the world would I want to own a piece of THAT bricks and mortar?

Nope, give me small, compact, thin, beautiful 30+oz goldbars anyday of the week, or a single, flawless 4+carat, G1 diamond any day of the week over phoney phiat.

Until you actually have a houseful of them, I suggest you not worry about "moving them around." I'm certain ALL your best SI buddies would be glad to come over and help you move them ANY where your little heart desires should that ever become necessary.
