excellent reasoning pintohoo, yes you are holding physical gold not because 'the end of the world is coming', (my goodness where could one interpret that from what you wrote?) but that you see it as the bargain opportunity of a millenia to buy the physical at paper prices...well done and congratulations (:
Oh BTW George Soros is a convicted criminal for insider trading......
it should be noted that without prejudice there are several layers of 'quality' in paper gold, with PM certs being right up there in the AAA category.....JIMO
