Congratulations to all of you--the Gold believers have been proven to be absolutely correct. Gold has hit this thread's target...what is next-- Gold to 2000? 5000? Or is it time to sell? I see some of you buying the ultrashort ETF--or is that just for a trade? I remember when the brilliant Jim Willie was beating the drum for gold 4-5 years ago. Wish I'd heeded his advice. Haven't seen him post recently around here, but I hope he is somewhere enjoying his money! But here's my real reason for writing--I have an open question for the board: how does one buy physical gold, and what is your preferred medium? I've gone to Kitco and I see the various coins and bars...but then there seems to be some debate about whether the bars would be harder to liquidate in a crisis, or whether this or that coin is 'raw' or 'first strike'...? Thoughts? Thank you, Kate

for fun (OK maybe I'm warped) I thought I'd peek @ the 10 year BMO (Bank of Montreal) chart on the TSX... Message 24414853 The Black Swan

just in in-tray QUOTE Met with one of the very largest Private Equity / Distressed firms with impeccable political and economic contacts. Their view: Major bank failure to come - probably in Europe (within the next 3-6 months). "It will make the Bear Stearns failure look like a pimple on a bum." Also: They are excited about the opportunities going forward. They are "scared" about their existing investments. If it is a European Bank, will that then tank the Euro? I think that would be an outstanding time to short the Euro. However, does the Euro go to 1.70 before it turns? UNQUOTE
