Hang on….. I’ve just visited a couple of websites that sell gold coins and there seems to be no problem buying…??? I’d have thought that considering we are constantly being told by the media that we are ‘standing on the precipice’ etc… that there would be a massive shortage of physical gold and you’d have to sign up on waiting lists etc… Gold is being talked about more now than at any time I can remember but still there seems to be an abundant supply…

+1 I’ve been an avid reader back from your days at HPC!

I take it ChinaDaily are state controlled? Why are they publishing an article like this?? Why are they undermining their own currency?

He’s an engineering graduate, which IMO gives what he says more credence.

Anyone know what caused today's spike?

Good work! It’s nice to have all that info on one page. Have to say I’m impressed with the effort you put into your online presence!

Gold & Silver in DVDs OK the amounts per DVD are tiny but there are a lot of DVDs produced. I also like the idea of PMs in my DVDs

Only 75% up.... I was expecting 750% at least! I thought articles like yesterday's FT front page would increase gold holdings dramatically but I guess most people still put their faith in sterling as most things are fairly stable in price.

Any idea what caused today's sudden fall?

Catching falling knives is risky..

The end of the financial year is approaching, if one wants to use up their capital gains tax allowance for this year, do they have to sell as much of their gold to provide them with a profit that matches the current capital gains tax threshold which I believe is 7000 GBP? I take it you then have to wait till April to re invest that money?

So what currency is it going to accept in return for the gold?

Do you really exist or are you purely figments of my imagination?

UK Gov to get $1bn of gold!

Financial Planner over at HPC thinks the stock market will rally over the coming months! Who's going to be correct? If money in printed it may encourage people to invest in stocks, then again I can't see too many firms doing well over the next few years.

As of last night it started working again, I can only suspect that they fixed it to work with the latest Java VM as my lap top on which I'd not upgraded my Java version never had a problem while my two other machines on which I'd upgraded had a problem for a day or so. As a general comment maybe it would be better for them to use Flash or Silverlight for their graphs as a number of workplace firewalls block Java.

Same problem on Firefox as is makes use of the same Java Virtual machine, I've tried another PC that's not had the Java upgrade and it works, I'll contact Bullionvault about this issue; cheers for the advice.

Since updating my Java version the Bullionvault chart does not work! Anyone else had this issue?

Come on, which one of you was it?

All this talk of the gold price falling seems to follow on from the reported saving of the banking system; most experts have now jumped on this standard mantra. What I don’t understand and it’s a pity we have no bulls on this forum to put the case but is it wise for the UK to get even deeper in debt when it’s got the following problems: Over reliance on a shrinking financial sector An aging population An overpriced workforce A large benefit dependent population A large military commitment relative to its size An overly large service based economy built on debt based purchases Young people with the wrong skill set and attitude to work And thus its ability to pay back the debts must be in question! Would you give a massive loan to someone about to retire?

Gold Set for 2-Year Low as Deflation Trumps Inflation So boys, it looks like you should sell your gold! (or so the 'experts' think)

So Why the spike on NY opening?

Thanks! I thought something had changed. I can easily Imagen trying to log onto the site one day to discover it no longer works, just like Icesave ( which luckly I got out of over a year ago due joining HPC). Bullionvault need to make these terms clearer as people are flocking there for safety...

I think this may have changed since I joined over a year ago, or is it just me getting paranoid?

Me too, I'll have to check what denominations of gold you can get physically from their vault, if the price really does start in increase say more than 3X I think I might have to get on down there before it somehow disappears..
