Gold and Silver - Last Chance To Get Physical?
What do you think?

I'm reading various articles on free and paid-for sites sounding major alarms about the financial crisis, and urging the reader to buy physical gold and silver.

I've only got about 160 one-ounce units of fine silver at the moment, and no gold.

I'm getting jittery now. May have to plunge into some UK Sovereigns before the end of May.

I've got a gut-churning feeling that things are speeding up now, real fast.

Gold is obviously breaking to new highs.

Where it will be fairly valued remains to be seen but I think it could easily double this year.

I can see gold north of $2000 by year end, certainly.

I think I've got to buy pretty soon.

Don't get too anxious. The US dollar will be the last to collapse. The Euro and UK are lining up as first to get clobbered. Some of that Euro money will flow into the US.

We still have the largest economy in the world by a wide margin and the biggest military.

The USD is still rising so wait. You can get alot of mileage out of top notch gold and silver companies as well. Buy the ones that have huge proven reserves and have less than 5% debt to equity.

As an Englishman, I deal in Pounds Sterling, so I want to get rid of them for tangible PMs, preferably gold.

Gold, and silver, have always been, and probably will always be, stores a real wealth.

Never heard of barter? Personally I prefer silver, if for no other reason than smaller denominations makes trading for smaller items easier.

Gold coins saved the life of many a Jew in WW2, crossing the border into Switzerland.

Probably saved a lot of Ugandan Asians too, when Uganda went "Mad Max".

Look, I'm not some dork who has only found out about gold and silver recently.

I've been following them for years, and I'm pretty much "all in" the mining shares.

I have a bit of cash left over, and I'm beginning to think I should bag some physical gold, as insurance.

UK gold sovereign coins are recognised worldwide as money, plus they are VAT-free, and have no capital gains tax liability in the UK.

That's what I'm going to do next week - buy sovereigns!

If you plan to accumulate then try buying when the RSI(14) for GLD or any other gold proxy falls under 40. Right now it is around 69 which means this may be a short term top in GOLD.

Re: Gold and Silver - Last Chance To Get Physical?
Merci,Best of British luck to you too me old mucka.To be honest If I had a wedge of spare cash gold coins are probably as good a bet as any,as I don't it's not an issue.My main concerns with this gold run are that it it a self fullfilling prophecy at the mo but as you know,what goes up must come down.Seen people stung buying high on both property and shares in recent years and it allways hits the small investor first.

I try to keep about 100 ounces of gold on hand but its hard because I do sell it. I dont deal in bullion (scares the fuck out of me) so I have to buy numismatic coins. I sold 1 gold coin for $35,000 yesterday and this coin weighed less than an ounce. I will be replacing it with another and with the profit, several more $20 gold coins.

I get lucky once and a while.

35000? Man! Punk you rock...

Question to you as reputed gold bug. I followed advise here one year ago and bought 16 ounce gold, 330 ounce silver. Do you guys still think that buying today is still good idea?

Get a bit shaky now and then when I see the prices today and get the urge to sell although I know I should not. I think I will hold (consider it my daughter's heritage) but do not know whether or not to continue to buy at these prices....Thoughts appreciated.

I remain neutral on advising anthing. I cant get myself to buy bullion thats for sure. I guess if you have enough cash to hold you for several years you might buy more but think of it as insurance only. I think gold goes much higher I really do but you have to admit the dollars rally is pretty impressive and a reminder that no matter what these dollar bears on GLP say, the dollar remains the world reserve currency for now.
