“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Gold In The News

Always take PHYSICAL DELIVERY! I take physical delivery (not to "their" warehouse) and so should you. If it is 1KG or just a little 1g bar (which anyone can afford:) take delivery so you can get it into your hot little hand if need be.

Russia backs return to Gold Standard. Not sure what I think about this whole international currency idea (methinks its a bad idea) but the reestablishment of a gold standard would be great.

Hat tip to Survivalblog for these.

I couldn't agree more on making sure you take physical control of your gold or silver etc.

Without it in your actual possession, you're not going to have access to it in a true emergency... just like you won't have access to cash from the banks, which is probably why you NEED the gold/silver!

Protect your investment and make sure you're getting what you paid for by making sure you're the one holding it.

I track prices and keep an eye out for deals at Bullion Market Watch (just b/c it lets me browse several marketplaces at once)

Aron Thorne, Yup. I will have to check that site out.

Stephen, Doesn't quite get that reaction out of me but I sure do like them a lot. I believe Wifey would say they cause an especially odd twinkle in my eyes as I pass them through my hands.
