Nice post. I agree if things get worst a lot of the baubles of life become unimportant. I think we saw that in the US in 2008-2010 where a lot of...
Ok, I was just envisioning, if it was accessible to outsiders, some van driving up with a couple of jackhammers in the middle of the night.
Well, I believe only 13 or 14 people at most could ever claim that they do. :) I have a couple of John VIII's, (a half and quarter), along with...

Fair point. I remember a story about massive outflows of gold from Italy recently as well. It was being transported to Switzerland. Sounds like...
The attribution is very much in contention btw. Many attribute this coin to an area around Syria. There are many ancients like this, the mint and...
Well, this one has high debt, and is still in startup mode. :( I like future prospects, though.

Thanks "dear heart". In fact I have read these prospectuses, have had tests on the language in them, and have given the same tests. If you will...
Stories of men being 100% right and broke are everywhere from those predicting the dot-com crash a year early, to those predicting natural gas...
