hello cd, following up to the script of china officialdom encouragement of gold and silver ownership by its patriotic citizens detailed here Message 25916530
significant advancement of the cause is tee-ed up, icbc, the largest bank in china and not coincidentally, the largest bank on this planet, in this galaxy, and in known universe, is setting up to introduce iii.co.uk metal trading for its customers, and i am sure some large shareholders of icbc, including the prc government, goldman sachs, allianz group and american express are enthusiastic of the prospect to do well by doing good, to gain by doing right :0)
to prepare for the eventually necessary leveraging-up of my balance sheet, i got a small mortgage loan from a china bank with hk branches.
the unneeded loan is ostensibly for a recent real property purchase and as part of the stipulated program i had to open a personal bank account. the wrap account featured capabilities to trade and hold hk equity, bonds, as well as ever lovely paper gold (a common feature in hk), but also (rare) wonderful paper silver and gorgeous paper platinum.
i will put the entire loan amount to paper silver by and by, and once it 4x, will use equity to buy more real estate :0)
regarding <<rats and ships>>
asking on behalf of increasingly desperate friends residing in n.america, the bank says it would not take on prospective customers from america and canada ;0/ |
