As the US dollar is no longer tied to gold (or anything else for that matter), is it not less likely that gold confiscation be repeated in the future? Besides, who really knows now in whose hands most of the gold is held. Central Banks have been disgorging themselves of gold in favour of the US dollar. (another smart move). Maybe they can get a few tons of gold back from India by tearing necklaces and nose rings from brides to be.? gg.

The powers that be certainly can" NOT "stop" me from owning "gold". In contrast to you, I'm Free. HoHoHo Not everyone has a country on the other side of the world ready to offer them citizenship if only they will migrate back to the lands their ancestors lived in thousands of years ago. Perhaps that is why some people don't have that option (which you call being "free") to renounce their nationality to keep their riches. And some might not even take the option even if it were offered. The decision may not have been a difficult one for you, but try to understand that some people actually CARE for their country. And that majority could find quite a few other names for this situation in which you find yourself than "free".
