The real thing? The real thing is that dealers of bullion and coins take too big a cut to really make physical a good investment. small guys get suckered in at 11% to buy and 11% to sell bullion and coins have a 30% spread. Sure a bull market will make buyers feel smart but that does not make it a good way to go. The ETFs do result in physical being taken off the market entirely, one day I hope the average person will realize that the actual gold and silver aren't as good as paper if the guys selling it to you are scaming you. <g> BTW Profile as of 05/11/2006 Total Net Assets $894,489,787 Ounces of Silver in Trust 61,994,778 Shares Outstanding 6,200,000 Tonnes of Silver in Trust 1,928.2
