Hi stock-picker,

My intention for holding shares in gold and or silver companies, is first and foremost, to have value if ALL FIAT monies fail, which I firmly believe will happen, including the Canadian $.

At this time am not interested in difference between currency rates.

Am more interested in having alternative bartering media. i.e. primarily gold, silver, pm shares, etc. and some other essentials to ease hardships when the currencies do fail.

Suggest if you think collecting bullion causes headaches, you may be in for a rude awakening.

As for transportation, insurance and storage costs, if you do not have possession of your bullion and your pm share certificates, you have no guarantee you will be able to access them for your use, when TSHTF.

Good Luck to all!
