You buy directly from the mint and store it at home or the Perth Mint will look after it for a % of total worth(Don't quote me but I think its approx 1%)

Investment tips of AFF??

Yep buy gold, then when the cash market goes back to normal the price of gold drops suddenly and you are stuck with it. Its only priced high now because everyone is scared of the stock market.

Hmmm...investment advice from someone who thinks mass job-loss is a good thing. Might as well bet on a horse.

Then at least knock off any outstanding debt you have, I particularly mean 'consumer' debt; CC's and Lines of Credit.

Just a personal opinion, no offence.

From 'Voice of the White House' :

“There is an old song about someone called Hard-Hearted Hannah and her merry pranks and one of the lines tells us that Hannah even poured water on a drowning man. Now we have a similar care wherein many, many American (and foreign) investors are being systematically ripped off on a grand scale by the manufacturing, merchandising and selling of badly adulterated investment silver and gold American coins. It is also now known that Credit Suisse gold bars, and a good deal of bullion European coinage is also being faked as well as the Canadian Maple leaf and the famous Krugerrands. All of these counterfeit items are being currently manufactured in China and sold all over the world as a hedge investment to millions. These coins, and bars, are made using laser-cut dies and therefore appear to be perfect. In order to enhance their profits, the Chinese adulterate both the gold and silver content of their fakes so that these can be detected by weighing them. Most collectors of these pieces, however, buy their investment pieces by mail and cannot weigh their purchases in advance. I have seen the figures of the numbers of coins, and other investment precious metals, sold and in this country alone, the numbers are in the many of millions. This counterfeiting is, of course, a serious crime but not in China where screwing the Americans is a great game. Adulterating pet food, toothpaste, milk and other products to cut their expenses is a well-known trait of the Celestials and anyone who thinks the innocent government in Beijing is not fully aware of this is an idiot. If some particularly nasty story of poisoned food or toys (lead paint) becomes known in America, the authorities take out a factory owner and shoot him hut the fun goes on. What these s have done is to destroy the coin market and, like the crooked mortgage brokers and their banking crime partners, screw the American public to the wall. What is needed is a good Forest Preserve and lots and lots of rope. As far as the Chinese are concerned, we should at once block any kind of Chinese product from entering this country. We should also block the arrogant and vicious Mexican drug dealers from brazenly setting up shop on this side of the border. With the Chinese, we can cut off our trade and with the beaner drug lords, we can capture them and cut off their heads or other body parts.”

yep that makes sense. oversupply of money will devalue it. supply demand rule again. Again probably why gold is going up, as there is a limited supply, its real and has special physical properties. I suppose silver is another thing people should buy too!

Having Gold in your house is one thing...

Having a gun to protect it is another thing!

Apparently the Perth Mint was recently hit with huge demand for Gold and they ran out....is that still the case?

I believe that they still have gold, its the admin work involved that has backlogged and created a delay in processing requests worldwide.
