Hi all,

We are all aware of the confiscation of gold that happened in the 1930's; however, I do not recall ever hearing about confiscation of shares in gold mining stocks.

If the shares were never confiscated, then for me this is yet another reason to favour shares, or at least something like CEF (if you prefer bullion).

I am simply trying to verify if this is correct and if I have not missed something here: has anyone ever heard of gold shares having been confiscated?

Thanks,

Stone
