Mr Pipples

EDIT - Bobsta beat me to a trader/investor stuff question. In fact ditto what he's said in his last few posts - that's where I'm at too.

I feel like the next Silver Sammy... Just exchanged quite a bit of my gold for silver yesterday! Shite.

James Turks latest: http://www.goldmoney.com/en/commentary.php Re. Physical/Paper - demand/supply/price I'm seriously considering going 100% silver right (for) now...

Ahhh, yes - I see that I would have to pay an exercise duty at customs equal to the vat due... Bummer.

So if I take delivery of silver in the Channel Islands (not part of the EU) I can then bring it back into mainland UK without paying VAT? Would I be liable to pay tax of some sort at Customs? May be interested in taking delivery of silver bought through Goldmoney - who say re. taking delivery of silver... Please note that if you plan to take delivery of the bar(s) in the UK or any other European Union country, VAT charges will apply and be added to the total cost mentioned above.

OK Dr Bubb - what's 'mystery'? An index of juniors or? I'm considering Jinshan (jin.t) , Endeavour (edv.t), Pinetree (pnp.t) at the mo'. Would you still recommend GROW? Have already gone into Leyshon, Capital Gold, Fresnillo, Royal Gold. Thanks to you and Frizzers for the pointers - maybe they'll turn good for me! Hopefully I can get by playing these as an investor and not as a trader - don't know what I'm doing enough for that! Cheers.

Re. Q.1 - there's bits on this over here and here. Really down to how extreme you think things will get!

OK - what's current recommendation on non-uk etf for juniors - if there is one? Cheers.

Thanks for that. After a quick look it seems that in 2006 Ambrian split of PM's into Golden Prospect Precious Metals Limited - trading as GPM / GPMW - 'investing in the equities of metals and mining companies operating in the Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Diamond and Uranium sectors.' Hmmm.

Does Ambrian Capital still get your vote Dr Bubb? Any other good UK ones? Cheers.

The pound spiked down against the euro at the same time too: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=GBPEUR=X

From FT.com (loads more along the same lines over there this evening): Insight: Life won’t be easy in the ‘nasty decade’ Edit: sorry - should have been posted in inflation forum...

A very bullish story - almost as bullish as Sinclairs bullseye!

What prices were you getting for 100 coins inc vat?

Wulfgar goes on to say: What do you guys think of that!

Is it realistic to think you'd be able to 1. get a plane, 2. get on it (and off it) with loads of physical gold, 3. use that gold easily as a practical currency anywhere - in the event of a societal collapse? I'm not so sure...
