Help w/buying gold

[Eugene]

[quote=Diego Mamani]What if the U.S., European, etc. governments decide to sell gold in the open market? The price would collapse in a matter of days.

Here’s another scary thought. What if private investors decide that stock market is looking attractive and start moving money from gold into stock market?

SPDR Gold Shares Trust (ticker GLD) has more gold in its vaults than China and Russia combined …

Ugh! That’s why I haven’t bought. I keep thinking it’s so friggin high and everything that gets so high – my rule has always been and always will be – can’t have an erection forever. I said it about oil. I said it about real estate. Anyone I said it to about real estate laughed at me and the usual “It’s different this time.”

What to do. The part that scares me about buying it, besides the bubble of it, is that back in the day the gov did what it could to devalue it, confiscate it, etc.

What if they do something this time around? They are master manipulators. We all know that.

Help, guys! What should I do?

I’m inserting Partypup’s post from another thread:

JP: my favorite merchants are apmex.com

Kitco.com is also a major metals dealer. I’ve never bought from them personally, but they are one of the biggest in the business, and I’ve never heard a negative thing about them.

Bullion is the preferred way to hold physical, I believe. Stick to widely-recognized 1 oz. minted coins like Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, American Eagles, Austrian Philharmonics and Australian Kangaroos. I stay away from coins minted from China and other non-Western countries. When TSHTF, you want to be able to easily barter/sell/trade with known quantities.

Same goes for silver. Although it’s so damn heavy that it’s actually worthwhile and preferable to go with 100 oz bars (if you can find them).

Whatever you do, DON’T buy stocks/ETFs or certificates. Make sure you hold the real stuff in your hands. When the hammer falls, you absolutely don’t want to be caught with paper.
