  1. A rather nice article appearing in The Times about the demand for British gold sovereigns in Greece. The full article: http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/busi...icle7135543.ece
  2. Your maths is correct and you highlight something interesting about the current market. At a quick glance sovereigns seem to be priced accordingly weight for weight to other fractional coins; a South African 2 Rand, for example, with a gold content of 7.32g is priced at £204.29 and a Elisabeth II sov is £204.78 What I think you have observed is the current popularity of the larger 1 ozt coins which are in shorter supply now. I have never seen the CID site so low on stock, even compared to past periods of heavy panic buying. In my view, smaller coins get overlooked by many buyers and the purchase of sovereigns, fractional britannias and other historical fractional European coins are a real bargain to be had.
  3. If gets down to or near to $200, I will pop into Harrods and buy one of their 400 troy ounce PAMP gold paperweights. http://www.harrods.com/HarrodsStore/Global...50-2e7cce700a00
  4. Yeah, small change , but when compared to what is being alleged to be held in the vaults of ScotiaMocatta it's a shed load. Now this is more like it, a hundred tons of Nazi gold. From:
  5. I would not have any confidence in putting any gold money into a deposit box with any of the mainstream banks, with or without the restrictions you have highlighted above.
  6. Oh yes, but he's not a frequent poster. I never heard a thing from him when I commented on his encounter with PCSO Nolan. Nothing against DF, but when he sweats a bit about gold/target price I feel more comfortable. Also like yourself, warpig, I believe with everything in tilt, seasonal gold is now obsolete, so an April end date is not the end of it, if it does not hit $1.4K in 4 weeks time, it will soon thereafter. Dominic will not have to wait 18 months whilst gold consolidates etc. If Cuthbert Calculus does see this, then all I can say is "Calm down dear".
  7. I read this last week in a MoneyMorning by Dominic Frisby whch was the decider for me in which way the market will go. http://www.moneyweek.com/investments/preci...rice-01306.aspx We all know that Dominic is a long term gold bull, but given those remarks and from what I have read by him in the past and what has happended, $1,400 gold is now a goer.
  8. I don't care for Terre'Blanche (White Earth) either, but there are concerns for what has happened could have reprocusions in South Africa.
  9. South African Government calls for calm after the murder of Terre'Blanche From: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S_dcmKk3qk
  10. That's something that has crossed my mind. We saw short sellers getting scapegoated for bringing down the banks, the same could happen to gold holders, as they would be seen as undermining the FIAT currencies. The way around that would be to sell it in a gold friendly country.
  11. Geoffrey Howe was right not to sell in 1980. The country's gold reserves are not for speculating; it is there for emergencies, for example 1940.
  12. The QE Fire Brigade will be called out again.
  13. I personally feel more comfortable when there is doubt, I get nervous when something looks like a sure fire bet.
