TATRADER, I may lose my goldBug status after making the following disclosure. In my whole life I have never held a piece of gold in hand, and have read that it has a certain weight and feel unique to most all other metals. This I read in an advertisement for gold jewelry. Not without gold tho, I have 9 gold capped back teeth as a result of Tonnes of Halloween candy. My dentyst is extra careful and would not let me touch them, but I can feel them with my tongue after the glued in procedure. Know I do the feel of a lead bar, and the touch of brass and copper, but together what I felt would not feel like gold as these two combined do not excite and smooth ones' soul. I also hold no shares in the types of an IBM or GE, and if did so I would not feel a need to touch a cornerstone brick at one of their companies locations. But if I held a paper that identified it as representing physical gold, then unless I'am not into a short term hold, I would feel dumb and stupid not to exchange the 5 cents piece of paper for the physical gold it represents. Storage charge ? No problem, for the piece of mind knowing I have The Piece of Gold (in hand). Now fiat money, paper money, noooooo problem as we know, a little ink adabbado onto paper in the press, and presto . doug
