i've got loads of bars with no serial number on - i'm not bothered.

happy $1000 gold.......... erm.......... day
a nice surprise this morning - unusual though, i haven't seen price movement like this so early in the morning for a while.
-
going steadily up - exciting stuff!!!!
-
good old ker! i seem to remember the last time he predicted $450 the price also shot up the next day.

With RB you can never be sure. Similarly cells, with his pseudo-rationalism.
i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt - i assume he isn't that stupid, then again, this is the internet...

I recall a post on HPC ages ago where some chap was arguing that investing in gold was a mugs game as eventually scientists will be able to make gold out of other elements. Wish I could find the post now it was hilarious. I remember the chap getting quite indignant saying "and yes the technology does exist" then going on to say gold atoms are produced as a by-product of reactions in large hadron colliders! Not exactly a very cost efficient approach
yeah, it was realistbear - total bollocks but i think he was just trying to goad the gold bugs, i don't think he actually believed it.

RPI-adjusted Silver: was from 1974 to 1985 (or so) above 10 pounds, and even for quite a while above 20 pounds (hitting over 70 pounds for a few days). We've wasted a lot of silver since then, it's non-renewable. Silver today (London spot) is trading at 8.67 pounds. Any questions?

i'm with you GF - it HAS to go up at some point, its inevitable.

Rather than buying a presentation box I would be more interested in a leather belt for secreting sovs or half sovs or other ways of hiding coins either on one's person or at home.
good idea.
i do like the boxes though.
-
Alternatively it could just go up from here, talk of £450 gold seems wishful thinking to me.
me too - i honestly don't think it happen.
-
its strange, steve - i now consider $900 to be a pretty normal price for gold, now that its had an extended period of hanging around that range.
-
i'm pretty pleased the way gold is behaving recently - its stayed above $900 in a very quiet time when lots of 'green shoots' have appeared (all false obviously).
one thing i've learnt is that things seem to happen much slower than i have expected, and that disasters seem to happen in slow motion - i guess thats why they catch so many people unaware. Nothing has changed however, and a big jump in gold will happen in the next few months imo.

always nice to see cgnao back, it wouldn't be a disaster without you!

That's right.
You have to declare what you owe. AND what HMRC owe you
You don’t have to declare what you don’t owe.
good stuff, thanks.
-
You wouldn’t mention britannias/sovs on your tax return in the same way you wouldn’t mention your ISAs
ok, so i wouldn't even have to bother telling them anything?
i've never filled in a tax form before!

How are you going to get round it?
If you sell it at Chards for example, then Chards will have records of the sale in their books. This will allow HMRC to know who sold (if they chose to look).
I doubt you will get round this by selling at CID as they are also a British Company.
GoldMoney and BullionVault both say they will co-operate with the British authorities.
And ebay monitor sellers on behalf of HMRC.
It’s not worth getting caught in my opinion. I know people who have been investigated by HMRC and it is horrific by all accounts. You are presumed to be guilty until you prove otherwise. HMRC will never agree that you are ‘not guilty’ they will instead go quite. You won’t know if/when the investigation has finished.
has anybody actually tested the cgt-free nature of britannias/sovs?? i mean has anybody made a load of profit, told the tax office (and told them its tax free) and they have let it go through as non-taxable?
i'm just wondering if they might get arsey and try to do you for it.

nothing wrong with that maple.
that phil thread was weird on kitco.

New GoldStock-beta website !
I have just finished a Beta version mock-up of the new GS website
Please have a look :: http://goldstock.co.uk/gsnew.htm
I have included loads of charts that should be interesting to many GEI posters.
COMMENTS are most welcome please
thats a lot of useful info there Drbubb, its gonna take me a while to look through it and figure out what it all means!
-
only 14 tons! thats not much.
-
i don't know why anybody would use someone other than coinsinvestdirect - they are consistently the cheapest in my experience, sometimes by a large margin.
-
the new bags should be ok as they are made from polypropylene.

Nice to see some gold commentry priced in GBP for a change, on seeking alpha...
http://seekingalpha.com/article/146209-gol...-remains-intact
can't really argue with this:
'All that needs to happen for gold to start rallying in sterling terms is for the pound to start falling against the dollar. Given the state of the UK economy, this really isn’t that difficult to imagine.'
-
How much were they a few days ago? £11.49 €13.51 $18.94 at the moment
£12.29 a couple of days ago

SILVER

you realise after a while that it just isn't important - its not the serial number that tells the buyer that its real silver - its the look, the feel, the weight, the sound.
i've got some really ugly silver - a 50oz bar, hand poured, air bubbles on the underside, no makers stamp, just a 99.9 and the weight stamped on it - i don't think i'll have much trouble selling when the price is as high as i think its going to get.
