The timing of the expected surge in gold/silver is of course unknown to us ordinary mortals. But I tend to agree with FF that their will be a sharp upward movement sooner rather than sometime down the road. Of course, I've felt that way before (gold went up, just not as much as I expected or hoped). Contrary cuss, that.

This is not an academic exercise. I am going to liquidate a couple of shareholdings and get some more gold. Any ideas about the medium? I am partial to bullion gold coins (maple leaf) and maple leaf silver coins, but realize there are cheaper spreads available over the base price. Anyone have any suggestions in this regard?

Anyone think there is a risk factor in holding PM in a Canadian Bank SD box? I've read cautionary pieces about the UK and some US States.

Best wishes to all ex-ARUers,

O.F.
