Do not buy gold whatever you do. Buy silver instead. Remember that a traditional 15-1; 16-1 relationship exists between gold and silver. Look above, Silver always weighing $1.30 an ounce and Gold always valued at $20 of Silver per ounce of Gold. The Money Changers right now are changing their gold money for a premium amount of purchasing power. The Bankers want you to buy their gold from them at $1000. an ounce because they know that when the system comes tumbling down they are going to buy it all back at $20. an ounce just like they did the last time... Click on the Gold Confiscation Act link above...

Consider, If I have $1000. in phoney paper money right now I can buy one ounce of gold or 50 ounces of silver. When the system crashes, everyone will lose their credits and paper currency will be nothing more than fancy fire starter. The $1000. you spent on gold now leaves you with $20. of real money. The $1000. you spent on silver now leaves you with $80 of real money. Remember, after the crash of '29 you could buy a house for $10.... and the scam needs Commerce.... all the best..
