[QUOTE="Rono, post: 1690967, member: 6492"]Howdy all, First to respond to wl - they talked but they never actually confiscated anyone's gold or raided any citizen for theirs. It was a voluntary and honor system. They also exempted coins and jewelry, so . . . feh. As for scyther, Sure, the black helicopters might come to steal our chickens and take our gold, and this is a possibility. But I see the odds so low as to not really count as something we need to worry about. The logistics would be impossible to handle - even for Big Bro at his worst. And believe me, our gov't earned my distrust in the paddies of vietnam so don't for a minute think that I don't know the gov't is going to screw us all as often and as hard as they can. It's just that are so many much easier ways than trying to confiscated peoples gold. For $ they could seize the 'gold' that's being 'held' by the ETFs. Much easier although I would want every bar assayed. ;-) However, in summary, if anyone fears the gov't might seize their physical bullion, they should disguise it as a numismatic collection, they should diversify it, they should buy from many different sources, and they should keep their purchases at a discrete size. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
