true - but they would be mad to do so.

the thing is, cyprus only has 13.9 tonnes of gold - not a great deal considering the massive falls. Some good stuff on kingworldnews - apparently 155 tonnes of paper gold was sold in one hour in london, and central banks bought up 55 tonnes of physical - as far as i understand. something massive is happening, something i don't understand.

god knows! something big must be happening behind the scenes but its incredible that gold/silver can fall so low and nobody knows why!

wow, just wow.

scary to see my investment drop so fast and so much but staying the course as above. Its a rigged market based on paper - i don't hold paper.

i agree, they physical supply just isn't there. The maguire comments are very interesting.

such a huge drop in gold for no particular reason is highly suspicious. i wonder what is going on in the background.

i sold some silver on ebay recently - lucky really. but not that lucky since i still have loads!

just wait until the fiscal cliff, then we'll see what happens.

lol - nonsense as chris says.

also earlier than me - i starting thinking about it when gold was at $500, only started buying when it got to $600-$650.

+1

yet again i find myself agreeing with JD

lol at uri geller reference - such an obvious con artist. anybody who takes him seriously needs their head testing imo.

jeanne needs to see a psychiatrist

lol - what a load of bull.

hmmm, its only 1% efficient and only lasts for a few days in the light before decomposing - interesting but its going to need a lot more work.

i think we need to distinguish between 'free' energy in the economic sense (and very cheap energy) and 'free' energy in the scientific sense. these concepts are frequently mixed up on this site hence a lot of confusion. one is very possible, one is very impossible.

and sovs are 'worth' one pound, so not a good idea. of course all the gov has to do to get tax off them is to declare them no longer legal tender but they haven't shown any sign of doing that in the last 100 years so its relatively unlikely imo

coins which are legal tender (sovereigns and britannias) are exempt from CGT - everything else isn't.

gold leaf is so thin it can be transparent (gold is actually green when you look through it - interesting fact there). covering a building in gold leaf requires very little. (just look at the number of books etc with gold leaf on them - it all adds up to only a small amount).

baseless supposition - there is no evidence of all this gold, just talk on the internet, and talk is cheap. as for paying for all the stuff we got from china - we offered a lot - our own texiles, technology, drugs, weapons. historical trade is not all about gold and silver.

i agree - conspiracy theory nonsense from a nutcase.

i agree, its ridiculous. how did we get to the point where people actually believe these nutters on the internet? i've got a crazy thought - how about some evidence/proof. the crazier the theory the less evidence some people seem to require to believe it, its moronic.

exactly - they are fantasists.
