ozpharlap Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Most of the gold demand is coming from India (inflation 9%) and China. Are those your idea of stable markets? http://www.prlog.org/11503134-gold-prices-rose-as-chinas-invest-in-gold-surged-179.html More stable than those tin pot South American and African countries that spin tailed out of control. Inflation comes with any capital market, it is not a steady incline and decline ... they are bursting at the moment and economists all over the world have never ever got it 100% right, so, China and India are experiencing some hick ups, it is still relatively stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allistar Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Why not try the derivative markets? That might be the ultimate in hedging your bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckwoww Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 You asking me? Inflation, crooks on Wall Street, massive unsustainable government debt, bond defaults, alien invasions, asteroids collisions, global warming, unknown viruses, armies of brown people swarming over borders, killer bees, zombies, nuclear terrorists.....that's just for starters. Not saying any of it will happen but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexi Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 That sounds pretty bad.....I think the best course of action is to buy the Teerak that 10 baht gold chain she wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Oh it's bad. And that's just the big stuff. Never mind all the little daily problems. Fear and worry are endemic to the human condition, even Australians do it. Fortunately I don't have a teerak so that's one less problem. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Gold, silver coins to be legal currency in Utah By JOSH LOFTIN Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Utah legislators want to see the dollar regain its former glory, back to the days when one could literally bank on it being "as good as gold." To make that point, they've turned it around, and made gold as good as cash. Utah became the first state in the country this month to legalize gold and silver coins as currency. The law also will exempt the sale of the coins from state capital gains taxes. ...... http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_BACK_TO_GOLD?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2011-05-22-15-23-20 Gold and silver coin investor think they are getting a good deal on coins but they probably are not. If the sales tax rate is 10%,after the coin has traded hands 10 times, [color:red]the State has made the face value of the coin without lifting a hand[/color].
