Doh

Is quite a boing 733 and rising

Remember the banks are all solvent now The problems are all over and everything will be fine once this little recession is out of the way ...not.

Just signed up after having been on the other place for a few years. Haven't had a chance to read all the gold threads here yet, but one thing that should be noted, as a percentage drop, what has happened in the past couple of months is less than the drop that happened in mid-2006. People seem to forget that. Last gold I bought was at circa US$850 towards the end of last year...which was then about £404. In terms of GBP and AUD (the 2 currencies that affect me), it has still been a good investment. Having said that, what has been going on the past few days (not just gold and silver) since the FM bailouts is puzzling...and I think further falls are possible in the near term. One question that I would like to know the answer to: has anyone tried to buy allocated silver at the Perth Mint in recent times...and if so what happened?
