As for the OP, 90% silver is a safe bet. Not that the price of silver can't drop from here, but rather that they are easily identifiable, hardly...
Why do people so frequently make the assumption that it's either precious metals or guns, and not both?
One thing to think about with the $15 for using Bill-Me-Later is that by signing up for it they will pull your credit history and extend you a...
I probably shouldn't share the secret, but this is part of my retirement plan. (I just haven't actually acted on it yet) Buy cheap land that is...

I do hope he is OK with your sharing his full name here. Many people would not. [edit] I go the petition to display, I'm reading it now...
