Much of the gold sold of late has been a paper promise. If you don't have the gold in hand, you may have nothing but an empty promise. Silver is probably getting more attention due to the inability to get gold physically in hand. It appears South Africa is about to go the way of Zimbabwe. That will cause additional scarcity for metals mined in that country.

EXACTLY!....the only way to own is physical gold/silver...why accept a piece of paper from some guy you never met saying gold you’ve never seen is ‘stored’ some place you’ve never been?
