I don't normally post my purchases but thought I would share this little 1/10 kiwi gold doo-darr I picked up locally in town yesterday as I have not seen one on my travels before or on the forum.  £107 I paid which was fair enough

I'm going to attract haters.
You'll never achieve financial independence through PMs. Sorry.

We've been here before.You could look at it as a buying opportunity however it could be a falling knife for a while.Depends who you listen to.The thing is we all know that paper money is doomed at some point in the future otherwise we wouldn't do what we do.On the other hand the majority of people aren't aware of this fact.Most people don't even know how "money" read euros,pounds,dollars etc. Is created so until a significant number of people wake up and no longer accept monopoly money we are in a paradigm of government backed central bank issued paper.The fact that they have used this "money" to buy politicians,media,etc. Means at least for now the majority know something is wrong with the way the economy is but can't put their fingers on it.You can't blame them as when was the last time the gold standard or money creation was taught in schools,colleges or universities?The mainstream news won't discuss it as,as we have seen with Brexit,Trump etc they have their bias and will continue to peddle the fact that debt doesn't matter and if the government stopped defecit spending noone would vote for them!So I'd rather have some than not because at some point in the future it will be "worth a lot more than it is now" when that point is who knows?I can't see it being more than a decade but thats just my opinion.If your looking at making a quick buck look somewhere else other than gold.If you want to preserve a bit of wealth for the inevitable destruction/reset of the money sytstem we have coming put a bit of gold/silver away somewhere safe and don't think about price in paper as sooner or later it will be measured by a different yardstick maybe,possibly,could be,who knows.
If you just like collecting then fine do that just for the fun of it!

in GBP terms we just broke £1060oz - highest price of 2016 !
Russian problems on horizon, a new war monger in the white house in a few weeks, euro still in the toilet and nothing solved, highest levels of UK personal debt and highest increase on a month on month rise, same fiat billions getting printed monthly and national debts increasing
Everyone holding tight ?  anyone selling  to take some fiat profits ?
