What are the chances that safety-deposit boxes in banks could be raided for the same purpose? (No wonder grandma buried hers in a mason jar in the garden.)

If you can’t roll around naked in your bullion or drop a bar on your toe, you don’t own it. You must physically posses it.

"The regulators and the exchange are aghast, and are trying to imagine how to resolve and spin this to preserve investor confidence and prevent a run on the system."

I wonder how the markets will react Monday, (If they open Monday).

They do it all the time.
Always an innocent mistake.
Always.
You had gold in that box?
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Of course you did.
HA Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...
When we mistakenly emptied your box all we found was this chipped ashtray from the King David Hotel.
Here we saved it for you.

Welcome to Obama's America. "You have no property rights!" says the Kenyan-in-Chief. No surprise that a far Left liberal was running this scam of a business.

Saw this and thought, hmm...after our conversation last Tuesday about what Ann Barnhardt had to say, I thought you would be interested in reading this article.

Back in July 2008 I became concerned the stock market would crash. I talked my dad into closing out his investment accounts, paying the penalty, and putting all his money in hard gold, silver, and bank CDs.

It turned out to be the right thing to do.

The reason I mention it now is because the broker tried to talk dad into buying gold and storing it out of physical reach in some vault. We didn’t do that, and what has happened to these people in the article is an excellent example of why I think the way I do!

Corzine stole the money because he knew he could get away with it.
And, of course, he did get away with it. (The dog-and-pony show at the Capitol was funny, though.)

Very Very Bad.

Ann Barnhart may turn out to be right about the impact of MF Global Failure. Next shoe to drop is the Derivatives market which MF Global was a large player in.

Well I for one am glad that Bill Clinton was paid mega-bucks as a “consultant” for the democrat party infested MF Global.

I am sure all the investors will receive that patented liberal treatment: You will be robbed blind by expert thieves.

The chances of that happening are about 100%.

But blam, Chairman Obama has already hired enough regulators so nobody would be “to big to fail.”

Corzine was a loyal Democrat, and - - - . Are all Democrats bad “persons, “ or just bad managers of other peoples money?

What is Chairman Obama going to do? Obama can’t hire more regulators, as he has already proven that it only encourages monetary failure. Obama can’t do anything himself, as he is incompetent on anything involving money, logic or personnel.

blam, what EVER is Chairman Obama going to do?!! Oops, I forgot. Problem solved! Chairman Obama is going to take a golfing vacation at a location that is far, far from legislation or frustration. Whatta guy!
