You cheeky bugger!

I know it is hardly riveting stuff, but the future is important and people need to look out any way they can. Like I've mentioned elsewhere, the future worries me. I want to get on the right track before things get too late and I end up destitute, toothless and busking for my meals. But, yeah, not such a fun topic.

*Lets change it to politics then and get Lyle and Kirkland lang in here ..


Actually just shoot me in the head.

So, I was just wondering how common it is for people to buy gold? Who on here is a storer of ingots and how do you go about purchasing them?

I've read that they are kept in secure vaults in places like Zurich. It all looks very interesting, but a bit strange to a non-expert such as myself. Gold might be a relatively safe place to stay when the world collapses in the next year or so. It's been doing very well for a good while now, so it's probably getting a bit late to make maximum returns on it, but it looks stable enough and it must be pretty cool to have some chunks of shiny gold.

Any thoughts?

My parents like gold.They buy gold whenever they have the opportunity.

I hate wearing them. All I have is my college ring coz I'm proud of my alma mater.:cool:

Be careful with the love thing on Miles. He takes it seriously and he doesn't stop from showing his love by just a manly handshake.

Be very careful. :-X

There are a million places that make it and they all have their own seals and stuff. Some places seem to have vaults and others expect you to go and pick up your gold. Some say bullion chunks are decent, whereas others say they are harder to sell than coins. I quite like the idea of owning Royal mint sovereign coins now, but I have no idea how they would get them to me. I don't know, maybe I just wasn't meant to own any gold. I might just buy myself an earring or something.

Thank you for joining my thread, Bruce. I just knew you would pick up on my earring comment. I drew you in with a single camp expression and you just could not resist.

You got me line, sinker and hook. LOL.

Apparently the price of gold has plummeted in response to the Strengthening of the U.S Dollar.....BBC news said so.

I guess i missed that one. People were investing in gold instead of money ???

Andre has it Spot On.

Yeah, a bit of a dip just recently. It's hard to tell if it is just a blip or not though. All the sensible people would have got into gold a long time ago now. My latest venture is to look into private pensions, I'm sure a week later we are going to hear of millions of pensions lost in some scheme or other. All I want is a little security for when I get old, it all seems so complicated.

What about art Miles? Its on a running scale and is affordable to most. pick a well known artist whos alive still, but not looking to hot or is in his sixties or seventies depending on how long you wish to invest for, wait for him to pass , up goes your stock. New street artists are in the big $, some of them live on the edge.

I watched a program on people who invest in Art... It's a very clique/ shady business. I was quite shocked.

Shame i can't remember the jist of the story :-\

Forget about art, you're best bet is long life canned food.

Once armageddon starts and you're the only person who can eat people will give up whatever they have for your precious baked beans and corned beef.

Oh and guns too, you'll need them unless you want them to take everything for free.
