TD: <<If you own actual gold it is free of bankers, brokers, loans, paper promises of any kind. Gold represents the ultimate freedom in a way, it is the same anywhere in the universe and spendable anywhere in the world. If you carry fire insurance and don't collect on it are you upset? Perhaps gold can be looked at in the same way, ?>> I agree, but I, and I believe most investors, are not ready to confront a scenario where world conditions would arise such that this option would become seriously important. That is the problem.

I agree completely with your thoughts. My problem/concern is how to hold/own the metal. In a Swiss account? In my backyard? Bullion or semi numismatic? What about the government "collecting" our gold again? What about silver? Is it safe to hold silver in this country without fear of confiscation? Are US citizens safe to hold gold in a Canadian account? These are but a few of my concerns. Would someone please be kind enough to give me some of your thoughts? Eldon Slife
