[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 404611, member: 12159"]Yeh, GD, I was once the little guy, and because of my hubby's successful job and website, I am a big guy who is considered a special person in many little guys eyes and minds. We quit the 'food clubs' a long time ago when all our kids moved out, and only buy in bulk what we have difficulty finding what we need in the stores on a regular basis. I can still be a little guy someday when our income fades away into a non-inflation proof retirement income. As far as the mint goes... if we little big guys get lousy runs of proof coins something is terribly wrong and there is no incentive to buy them even one at a time. You are quite right about our gold and silver and other precious metals like copper, platinum, etc. Because of the new technology a company south of San Francisco has a great business reclaiming gold from old computers and monitors. They have a much lower overhead than the mining companies, but get as much for their bullion as the market will allow. It hasn't been a terribly long time since the government deregulated the price of gold. After that it got so pricey that most of us could not even afford a wedding band. And remember, if Marshall Law were ever declared for the US we would all be in jeopardy of losing our precious metal by the government having the power to confiscate it. I know I stirred up a hornet's nest with the questions. Yet I think it is worth it because it makes us think and helps us to learn more about the processes that are required to get the product for which we are very hungry. jeankay[/QUOTE]
