Greetings from yet another Goldfinger/G0ldfinger disciple.
I stumbled across HPC around three years ago (when Dr Bubb was a prolific poster over there), and was fascinated by the wider financial knowledge being shared and discussed.
I lurked and learned, paid off all non-mortgage debt, switched to a cheap ten year fixed rate mortgage and rearranged my savings and investments based on my newly aquired knowledge. I even tried GEI in its early days, but felt out of my depth.
In January 2007 I took cgnao's advice to "protect myself" and nervously ordered a single 1oz Kruger from Bairds (c£350), just to test the water. As predicted by the goldbugs, once I had handled a bullion coin and understood what constitutes real money I started buying little and often and have recently started accumulating Silver as well.
Thanks to the many ex-HPC goldbugs, I now feel that I have some kind of financial protection for myself and my family.
I intend to spend more time lurking on this forum, but it will probably be a while before I can contribute anything of any value. I'll just sit at the back of the class and try to take it all in.
Cheers
Dutch
