[E. Pluribus Unum]

Where do you keep it?

[coloradan]

Some geocached, although I might lose it, some at home, although I might be robbed, some in safety deposit boxes even though banks might facilitate its confiscation, and some abroad in services like GoldMoney and BullionVault, even though those jurisdictions might become subject to confiscation, wars or Acts of God. But bank deposits are unsecured loans to banks - for 0.05% interest. Do you feel that's a good risk-based return on investment? If they go bankrupt, bondholders will be paid before depositors, thanks to regulatory capture.

You keep those precious metals on your wife's arm. Imelda kept her investments in her shoe closet. This way it's in your possession rather than on paper.
