shades, if you believe in diversification, why wouldn't physical gold/silver be in your portfolio? Good point - here is why - I ask many goldbugs here OK - the world blows up - nukes go off in 20 cities and thousands of finance dilbert managers get blowed away - mad max mohawk guy coming for me and my family - janet reno and her tanks got thier sniper rifle troops trained on me and mogambo - what do I do? TEll them to rip the shiny metal from my dead hands? I would be dead in seconds! NO way they say - in times past elroy said grandpa used his little bit of gold to FLEE the mohawk guy and janet reno to another land - so you see - that is the REAL power of gold according to these goldbugs - when things go to shit - you can use GOLD to buy your way to nice place cause the evil army types wont take paper or such. Ok - so elroy and others grandparents fled and came HERE - and I ask them OK - so america - land of the free - home of the brave going to shit - I have to pay RAmbo wannabe bush lover sniper some gold to escape the borders - where do I flee too - Elroy says many places - but uncle have you travelled the world? I have lived in many places and if things get that shitty in the USA - they gonna be that shitty pretty much everywhere but maybe way up in alaska where there only a few eskimoes and seals. Where do you live now? If things get so bad you have to pay an american soldier gold coins to FLEE - where are you gonna flee too? Elroy never gave me specific answer to that question. As white english speaking redneck geek - should I flee to zimbabwe - nope - russia? france? ukraine? venezuela? Brazil? China? Japan? Phillipines? Cuba? Another point - My indian friend - he used to be in the military - he the kinda guy that if he were in nazi germany and you were jew with gold wanting freedom - he say Ok and take you behind building - shoot you in head and take your gold coin. So much for elroys grandma buying her freedom and getting good california real estate deal. I think it much more effective and sensible to keep a cool head then spread fear and panic in the hopes of getting rich overnight so I can fight sniper teams with mogambo guru. Some people jumped off buildings in the depression - some who were just as broke went back to work and had a great life - who was the bigger fool? It's sort of like long-term disability insurance. It's cheap and you probably/hopefully won't use it but you'll be damn glad you have it in case of a severe problem. So you are counting on nice nazi officer type to let you flee for your gold instead of taking you behind building and putting 2 cent bullet in your head and taking it off your dead body? Is that real insurance? I watched this movie with liam neesom - schindlers list - best not to get into that situation to begin with eh? Did you ever read the story in the bible - where 100 warriors surround the large army - in the madness and chaos the army wakes up in the middle of the night - hearing these drums - they all start killing each other - not knowing who the enemy was - the chaos was thier real enemy - if they hadn't gotten panicky - 100 men wouldn't have defeated thousands.
