I read the thread last night too, but I was leary of the source and did not take it too seriously. Now that it is in the NYP, it takes on some form of legitimacy. The only part that bothers, or worries, me is that gold has been bought and sold that does not exist. The other items, as I understand them, seem to be part of what goes on in a market, and not fraudulent.

I could see people selling their gold positions thinking they have nothing -- causing prices to drop. I could also see a lot of folks that want gold realize they have none, which could cause gold to go up. This is have an impact. But I do not see it spilling over and causing any stock meltdowns.

Thanks...I feel a little better now(I guess).We don’t have any gold in our portfolio. I have been thinking of getting some, but didn’t want to buy at the high. Dave Ramsey says that’s kinda stupid. If all hell breaks lose, I think bullets will be worth more than gold or silver anyway...lol. Bullets and Beans...that’s my ‘investment strategy’ until Obama and the marxists lose power...lol.
