Terry, I whole heartedly agree with what you are saying.

From heart disease, to diabetes and through many kinds of cancer.

Today is a day we will never forget,.but a day we can forgive, my heart hurts for anyone affected by this tragic day 9/1/01

Sitting around in a stupor and munching down twinkies by the case while staring at a lava lamp isn't exactly heart healthy.

This is heart breaking.

It is definitely in the heart of the Texaplex,see Texaplex.com.

matty,not sure where you heard the info about not being able to deliver. i'd be interested in seeing that. all analyst reports that i've read including the fund reports state that the physical bullion is held directly in the vault. with that being said, delivery 'shouldn't' be an issue, though, again, its etf investing against a physical security and not investing in a physical security.commodity and currency investing is not for the faint of heart. i certainly wouldn't advise anyone in investing the farm in it though, it may hold a place in a properly diversified portfolio.also, the only clients that i have that hold it physically are a few coin dealer clients. shipping, storage, security, etc can def eat up a lot of costs and i am not an advocate of holding large amounts in hand. i had 1 client who wanted to invest a 'sizeable amount' of money into gold and wanted physical bullion. i asked him what a 'sizeable amount' was and he said 5-10k lol. i told him that at $1500 an ounce, he wouldn't get much. infact, i compared it to the 16oz steak that he orders. he woudn't even own half the weight in gold. it was pretty eye opening for him.

Every member of Congress that had ANYTHING to do with this should be done.And as for Obama- he's virtually at the heart of the whole debacle in the first place.

Well, that is for each to decide.However, the huge flaw in the system allowing itself to be gamed is at a heart of the mechanics allowing the housing bubble and the extreme proliferation of mortgages that should have never been written with borrowers who should have never been approved.Now, don't misunderstand me.

Real estate investing isn’t for the weak of heart or the risk-averse personalities.
