g-dog, First thanks for the input. I like hard assets also.. Home is free and clear.. may not sell as easily as gold but I can live in it .. I'm loaded with energy and fertilizer, some gold, some base metal some other agri stocks... I'm thinking of the physical metal though... Except for my home all my hard assets are really paper .. all the paper stuff can go poof.. hence my interest in whether or not to pursue the stuff I can burry under my basement floor :O) I do have some junk silver I purchased during the 2001-2002 gold stock rush.. The Black Swan EDIT: I guess part and maybe my biggest problem is that if we really should be accumulation physical gold/silver. then is it worth keeping any stocks at all.. since possibly they will be nothing more than liabilities in the you need gold scenario...

The volume de capital allocated abroad increase 36.2% US$ 152,2 billion allocated abroad vs US$ 111,7 billion last year. Source: CBE (Capitais Brasileiros no Exterior), registered yearly since 2001. Any company or Brazilian person that has US$ 100.000 abroad have to register with the authority. ELMAT: Capital being allocated abroad is good. Piling up at home is not good.

<<I'm not concerned about gold as money. For me gold and silver maintain my hard earned wealth and future standard of living. The Gold and Silver act as a wall of protection from the storms of fiat money, taxes and government intervention into my life.>> G-dog,do not ignore what happens on the street. Take a few silver coins, go down to main street and see what you can get for them.Do not count on coin shop or bank.Do a test.Would you get full value for them?It would be the same a s selling the boat. If the currency system comes apart at the seams, what would you get for them on the street?What would you want??what would people have to trade??You give paper for gold now, if paper has no value what would you get for gold in the real world? I would give you nothing for golden lucre, but i would trade you even,two shiny rifles, ammo and Cobalt Blue pistol for one of my tractors.I am with Maurice the magnificent on this one.<gg> PS If the herd can take gold to 1500 bucks...get the hell out for paper currency, buy some land and store lots of stuff on it you can sell if ""the dark times come.""
