  1. They did. The US just took it's sweet time, and returned (eventually) different bars. Originally they claimed it would take 5 years to return them! That raised a few eyebrows
  2. Go figure - if it's been remelted it would be impossible to tell That's one reason it is money, no extra counterparties involved, no interlopers. Try that with bitcoin🤣 once the wallet addresses have been exposed. The 'agencies' have picked up people even after they'd gone through tumblers (liquidity was low at the time) I'm currently reading 'Gold Warriors' and it is eye-opening to realise what has been going on behind the scenes to shift stolen gold through Asia, Europe and the US. Lots of dead bodies left behind
  3. As stored wealth goes, gold has always been the ultimate aim. Either with outright violence, subtrefuge, deception, confiscation or whatever else This much for the recent myth that government 'securities' and all sorts of promisory notes are money. They are not. The Romanians could have dug up deep underground tunnels to hide their gold, like others do (often boobie-trapped and burying in the workers and engineers so no loose ends are left) Now they're still asking for their gold back. Possesion is 9/10ths of ownership There's a lesson there
  4. https://www.politico.eu/sponsored-content/the-gold-treasure-of-national-bank-of-romania-that-was-sent-to-moscow/
  5. https://www.bis.org/publ/work906.pdf These are the guys pushing the 'paper is money' narrative Yet the percentage of gold they calculate for portfolio risk minimisation is kinda larger than one would expect..
  6. Tried to transfer a few hundred squid and 'computer says no'🤬 Not a new payee either. WTF Says now restrictions are £1000/day for all payments altogether. It used to be £1000/day for a new payee because supposedly they are not 'verified'. Now it's the same limit for all of them, even if it is a few hundred here, a few hundred there. They're tightening the noose it seems..
  7. Yet another update: Barclaycard updated their app yet again. In order to use it you have to agree to a long list of terms and conditions. Many pages long. Bit towards the end is the 'paperless only' thing. I declined their offer. Sod them. No paper = they can claim whatever they want whenever they want and you've agreed to it.
  8. It was also indisputable and immutable It could be used as proof of fraud, depending on the content. Now they pretend that everything has to be 'electronic' for speed and efficiency. Bollox. Without paper and proof of postage from Royal Mail you've got nothing. They can claim anything.
  9. And never trust email through a phone. If you can't see the real link behind, don't click anything. They rely on people accessing email through phones because they are more vulnerable. I would only respond to an email from a PC, where I can see the real link behind. This is a big gotcha.
  10. A fool and his money are soon parted. I like the 'police officer' twist. As if you know who they work for (what is the so-called police station registered as?) As if you have a contract with them. At least with the bank you have (heavily skewed) T&Cs to fall back on
  11. This makes more sense for stacking silver. If you are prepared to sit on it for 10years plus, then you have the right attitude to tackle the speculative element of silver stacking. The wrong attitude is to keep checking the price every day and biatch and moan when you've 'lost'. We only gain/lose when we actually sell, by the way. Stacking silver is for contrarian thinking in my view. It is unloved by the (rigged) markets, a look at recent price history indicates it's going nowhere, a loser choice. A deadbeat investment. Industry loves it though, and in real terms it is extremely cheap and getting cheaper by the year. I love it! For short-mid-long term savings, stick to sovereigns/britannias. If you are prepared for a price explosion that may happen anytime (even after you're gone though) then silver is right up there
