It's hard to buy a billion dollars of mint Babe Ruth cards, or NIB Colt Pythons. Gold is a pain and you have to pay people to store it.

Buying US Treasuries is like becoming Saddams best friend for life. Not so great, but where else do you plop ten million, a hundred million, ten billion dollars and not only have it safe, but a little profit?

I don’t see anything painful about it, and you can store it yourself. A small box holds enough to pay off a typical mortgage.
