    @buddhabob – well I forget in which vault CEF metals are held; but it is in Canada and they have never confiscated gold before; of course past performance is no guarantee of future performance; with goldmoney, you can take physical delivery of your gold, you should have to pay the fabrication fee; their gold is held in either London or Zurich, your choice

    Regarding the price of gold, to me it is one hard asset of many, albeit an exciting one. The question is, are other metals and commodities also increasing in price?

    - Copper has doubled in price over the past year.
    - Nickel has doubled over the past year but is recently down.
    - Silicon is the same as it was 6 months ago but over last year.
    - Aluminum is a little above where it was a year ago.
    - Iron ore is down from a year ago.
    - Wheat is the same as a year ago.
    - Crude oil is down.

    thanks Stacy, as we speak Gold is impulsing upwards again on 1 and 5 minute candles. A significant target of 1173 area awaits now. My problem is if I don’t take delivery of gold I only hold a certificate with numbers on it as a guarantee and if I take delivery I have the insurance and storage problem. I will take the plunge no doubt but right now we should get a pullback after 1170 area methinks. Too much chatter, too much frenzy, should mark a temporary top.

    You are soooo right. I cant’ wrap my head around dual discussions of 90% lethal govt. sponsored bioterrorism and the best way to invest in gold. This is how people go insane.

    Infowars is spreading the disinfo about the mysterious illness out of Ukraine: labeling the pathogen a virus: antedotal evidence:

    “The biggest story on the Planet today is the outbreak of a very serious Advanced Biological War virus in Europe.”

    right off the bat: virus

    next:
    “We do NOT know what disease the people were/are coming down with. We do know that doctors are describing the disease as Pneumonic Plague, or as some type of hemorrhagic fever, or as hemorrhagic influenza, or as hemorrhagic pneumonia. We know that the illness, whatever it is, does not appear to be A/H1N1. We do not know if the disease is a recombination of A/H1N1 with other viruses or some totally different virus or if it is in fact a virus. We know that the World Health Organization (WHO) has had several days to sequence the genes of the disease but has failed to release this data.”

    This article was supposedly written by a doctor, but if the doctors in Ukraine labeled the pathogen as pneumonic plague, then it is caused by a bacterial agent. The paragraph combines information in an obfuscation of real medical reality. Why label the pathogen in the first paragraph as a virus and then relay no surety of the label in this paragraph?

    But the most ridiculous sentence:
    “We do not know what effective treatments are for this illness”

    Really?

    **UK Ground Zero is North Wales**

    The last line is the clincher.

    ……….

    Bird lovers and exhibitors watched in horror as 38 prize budgies keeled over and died during a show.

    Owners and organisers rushed about getting their cages outside into the fresh air as the budgerigars began plummeting from their perches.

    Fanciers feared a gas leak caused the tragedy.

    But after investigations by plumbers, gas workers, fire authorities and environmental health officers, there was no explanation for what happened at the village hall event in Gwynedd, North Wales.

    Retired pet shop owner Dave Cottrell, 55, who lost 10 birds at the show, said: ‘I was preparing the certificates as the birds were being put in order when a steward came over and said he had a dead one.

    ‘Then another steward came over said he had two or three dead.

    ‘And within seconds a third steward said he had more dead.’

    Mr Cottrell, who has 200 birds and been a fancier for 35 years, thinks a boiler or oven flue could have been temporarily blocked, forcing out fumes.

    Robert Hughes, 34, – who organised the annual Gwynedd Budgerigar Society Open Show – said: ‘The birds were spread across the hall.

    ‘Five minutes after the first one died eleven more had gone, one was mine.

    ‘We made the decision to get everything out of the hall because we had 350 cages so we saved a lot of birds.’

    Small birds are especially vulnerable because of their tiny, sensitive respiratory systems.

    Canaries were traditionally used by miners to test whether there were dangerous levels of carbon monoxide below ground.

    Mr Hughes said: ‘Nobody in the community has seen nor heard anything like this before. The hall has been given the all clear.

    ‘It’s bizarre. It has been really difficult to get over it.

    ‘It takes a year to organise the show and it’s a lot of work – but that’s nothing compared to how you feel for some of the people who lost birds.’

    A vet carried out checks on two casualties revealing they died from congestion and haemorrhaging of the lungs.

    Out here in West Texas I have my laying hens, couple of angus (cows for you city folk), few goats and a pretty decent garden and a way to defend them thats what the price of gold, bailouts and a corrupt goverment tells me. I listened to Jim Rogers, Peter Boy among others along with a tad of common sense have lead me down this path. The US ,2010 and a weak leadership = chaos fairly soon.
