Message:: [QUOTE="fretboard, post: 1008143, member: 19765"]I was only able to glance at the article but it looks like a good one and I'll check it out when I get home.  I know some ppl have their money tied up in ETF's but I feel that physical gold in the hand is much better. Feels better all the way around!! Here's an article and video on ETF scams. I'm just sayin'  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <a href="http://www.shtfplan.com/precious-metals/the-great-etf-gold-scam_03312010" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.shtfplan.com/precious-metals/the-great-etf-gold-scam_03312010" rel="nofollow">http://www.shtfplan.com/precious-metals/the-great-etf-gold-scam_03312010</a> Here's a small part: "But not all ETF’s are created equal, and some purport to invest directly in specific commodities like oil, silver or gold. Many investment advisers, recognizing investors’ need for safe assets, have offered their clients the opportunity to buy gold via these commodity based ETFs. And in recent months, some of these precious metals ETFs have seen massive inflows of capital. The problem, of course, is that while investors believe these gold commodity ETFs to be the equivalent of purchasing the physical metal, nothing could be further from the truth".[/QUOTE]
