I believe that if FDR could get away with this in 1933, there is absolutely nothing that could stop Obama from going even farther if we have an economic crash.

In fact, all he would probably have to do is ammend this Executive Order to include gold.

If it's not in my hand, it doesn't exist

My dad, having been a teen in the depression, was always very concerned about having something of value. Coins, genuine jewelry, property. He did get it wrong on one thimg. He had a very large pile of $1 silver certificates, which were supposed to retain the value of a silver dollar. The US government promised it.

Any idea what I should do with my 30 silver certificates?

If I don't have something, it isn't mine. Definition of insanity....a gold bullion IRA "in safekeeping".
