I agree with Methinkshe 100%.

Gold at £721. Is that a new all time high?

Thankyou CJ am down that way this weekend - might just pop in.

Thanks Diet Cola, I'm a complete pension virgin so I am learning as I go. I was assuming I would have to transfer all funds in one go, I have not done enough research yet and am still waiting to hear back from Scottish Equitable if I can make the transfer at all. But averaging in seems a good idea.

In case anyone else is interested - Berkley Burke (not goldmoney) are the company that provide the gold Sipp. It is allocated physical metal and the same vaults as GM are used for storage. Thanks again chrisct, you've made my day!

Thanks chrisct. That is excellent news, I already have an account with GM and like them very much. I would be very happy having a SIPP with them, didn't even occur to me that they might do this.

Can anyone help? I want to transfer my small personal pension, which I've had for 10 years now,out of stocks and shares and into precious metals (physical if poss). Can anyone point me in the direction of an investment co that will do this? I'm not having alot of luck on google.

Wow -I hope so, if you're right that's some mountain ahead of us! A mania phase in gold would be very nice thankyou!

Maybe it is getting more mainstream - just logged onto my email and front page of www.orange.co.uk is talking up gold!

I have managed to gently persuade a few friends now to look into gold. I have passed on what I have learned from this website (thanks guys) and opened the idea to them that there are possibly dire consequences to follow this 'credit crunch' as they are still calling it. I have passed on goldmoney's website to them, told them how easy it is to use and all I can do now is hope they follow through. It is quite difficult to do cos you want to frighten them enough to make them start doing a bit of research whilst not being considered a doommonger. I try to lightheartedly slip gold into the conversation if it is at all possible even to the plumber who was whining about his shares! You never know it might just prompt them to get off their backsides and do abit of DD. Just trying to do my bit

Thankyou dst for that comprehensive answer. No I'm not thinkinking that. I don't see anything but apalling news day after day and am gobsmacked at the lagg in POG to be honest. I can't deny I am not anticipating anything other than a rocket surge in the upward direction! But when - I just know.

What time do the american markets open again? I forget.

£664/per oz is this not a new high in sterling?

Has anyone heard of an auction website called swoopo? The last 5gm gold(Degussa feingold 999.99) bar sold for £7.21 apparently. There must be a catch, there is always a catch!!!
