Gold price, page-613

A little caution in my mind here,
if such government shenanigans are a threat, I'm not sure holding shares in a foreign gold miner is "all gold"

Such calamity could quite easily have governments nationalise their gold mines.
i.e. increased Sovereign risk - "national security"

at the same time, I think I once read that the majority of physical gold holdings at Perth are for non nationals - from memory there's a law that allows the Australian government to confiscate gold from it's citizens? Switzerland become famous for a reason

No different really to the Japanese example above, or when the Cyprus bank turned anyone with $100K+ into a shareholder overnight by taking half their savings...

Those that make the rules.....

Boy this could get complicated quickly..
