GF great to see you posting ! Yes silver is looking good. Best regards AB

Thanks for that reply notanewmember AB

*********************** "They are legal tender, contain fine silver.... they are VAT free." Do you have something to back up the VAT free statement as silver Britannia's have VAT charged on them by dealers and they also have a sterling face value. Thanks AB

The Cyprus bank account raid if it goes through would leave everyone with a deposit in a bank feeling very nervious. If I had a deposit there, first thing Tuesday morning I'd be making arrangements to empty the account in case they try the same trick a second time. But where to move your deposit to? This is looking good for physical gold. I'm also getting confused at the line between taxation and outright theft.

GOldfinger great to see you post again! As always great charts. Thank you.

That picture has made me think! In some ways the house looks good to my eyes, but in others not so........ Maybe because I was brought up in a area in London with that style of building it lacks ' depth ' to my eyes. It just feels two dimensional, the building lacks something..... The proportions of the windows are good like you say. But to me it has the feel of a pastiche. Getting to your point about charts, like the house picture, if they don't 'feel' natural on viewing I tend not to trust them whatever scale is used. Not sure that this will make sence to you guys...... : ( Thanks Sledge your post has helped my thinking.

RH I don't know how to post charts, but went to Yahoo Finance and got a two year chart comparing AGQ with SLV The result was using AGQ had no advantage over SLV at all !! You maybe increasing your risk over the two odd years time frame, without getting ANY benefit. Hope this link works........ http://finance.yahoo...n&z=l&q=l&c=SLV ******Also posted in your trading volatility thread******

I suspect that this subject will already have been covered in the past, but does anyone know if 1oz silver Britannia's are CGT exempt like gold Britannia's and sovereigns as they are considered specie ?

YES..... Or just trying to find a good entry point to put new money into this bull market!

GF............... Why did you do that ? You may have started another long consolidation. Ho well, it'll give me a chance to buy some more............

I also am looking to dispense with new turdling and have not sold a single oz. Alchemising paper into gold................. Good way of thinking of it fitkid

Your point is well taken, I have been lucky in this approach a couple of times in the past, but looking back it was gut feelinh and luck. As you say the accelerating trend lines make this an increasingly risky game to play.

At the moment I'm in the same frustrating position as fitkid, hoping for a correction to buy. Please do not be rude.
