Richard, I am confused that you say the USA public has no
investment vehicle for physical gold. Do you mean that it
does exist but not marketed in a way that its available
and easy to access and use as buying stocks or mutual funds?

You posted about this here on this thread and also as copied
below with a reply from a SI member.

Subject: poor marketing effort & manipulation of the news

... American investing public would have been better off
had they put money into gold bullion in January of 2000!

... The mining companies are marketing FOOLS!

... there is still NO INVESTMENT VEHICLE available
to most US investors who wish to put money into
precious metals bullion! Gold bullion must be marketed
as an INVESTMENT!

... bullion via their 401k's- THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE!

... how many ounces of gold might be off the market
if people had a vehicle available to invest directly
in gold bullion? Isn't "might be off the market" better
than the condition we now see?

... what would it take to put together a storage facility
& market some form of gold bullion mutual fund so as to
pull some of this damned excess gold bullion off the market?

From: Claude
Richard, Sure... US investors can buy bullion as INVESTMENT.
There are at least 4 very good vehicles.

1) coins and gold bars
2) a gold/silver close end fund
3) participation units in gold pools
4) digital 100% backed by gold currency

All 4 are investments and are being advertised as such at various degrees.

I agree that the marketing programs are not highly visible,
but they are there.

We, at Ormetal, will be soon launch goldcurrencies.com
to do exactly what you want.

From: Richard
Will it be available to people in the workplace?

From: Claude
Richard... I will be concentrating on the Canadian marketplace and my project
will allow the men and women in the workplace to buy
their $50 worth
of gold every month if they want to.
I am sure someone will have the same idea for the US,
if it is not yet the case.
