thanks - yes, I recall the confiscation - they didn’t want scrap jewelry tho - so if there’s a good, reputable source who wants to trade cash for it, I say why not? what else are you gonna do with a smashed ring or necklace in 4 pieces? Sell it and buy seed, right?

But I agree gold is a risk - I recall not to long ago, gold being trumpeted as going to go as high as 5K/oz - I think Dec 07 it hit 1K and has taken a full year to get back to 1K. Not sure if Any market rules still work, but the wisdom was, to sell into strength, in increments over a set time while watching the market, not ‘all in’ at once, either way. If I had bought at $300, I’d be selling a bit now (but this is, just all hot air since I don’t own any). I did read somewhere that investment gold peeps started taking delivery of their gold instead of rolling it, which pushed prices up a tad - seems it should have driven it up further, tho. jmo

Gold may go to $5k or even $10k an oz in a hyper inflationary environment which would be wonderful for paying off old debt.

But if that happened, we're talking Thunderdome conditions. And the Government would confiscate at some point.

Even Rhodium was over $10k an oz in the past year.
