Just been reading this on the net and with the recent events surrounding the stock markets around the world, and now this.

Watch this space.

That's all we need, the Swiss banks historically have stolen millions of ounces of gold from the public, and now they want us to pay more for our gold as they initiate a buying spree. Wouldn't trust the Swiss as far as I could chuck a toblerone at them. 

 

They should stick to clocks and chocolate, well at least till I get a big enough stack of that shiny yellow stuff.

We could do with a bit of good news unless of course you are still buying the stuff.

Hopefully if gold rises it will pull silver up at the same time.

its a sign of the world we live in today where this article in the mail gets 8 comments,

and yet on the side panel of shame an article on Kim Kardashian's butt in Bermuda denim shorts gets over 1,500+ comments

 

this aside, the swiss vote will certainly be interesting to follow as to see what the outcome brings if they vote, yes

 

swiss are the monkey cockroaches of the world and a lot of the dirty money leads there

Also home in Basel to the BIS the central bank for central banks

I might have to have a pre-emptive strike on gold here.

 

eBay beware!!!

Interesting that the Daily Fail would even publish this. Doesn't involve immigrants, benefits cheats, or pictures of young women. What's their angle?

[Paul]

or vote UKIP - i bet some does though, they are in every other bleeding article they publish

LOL, that'll bugger up the Swiss if Keith buys up all the gold first. There'll be none left for them to buy. Go for it mate, (just save a few coins for your forum "mates")

It did mention Diwali, and the fact that the Swiss voted to end the freedom of movement for foreigners into Switzerland.  So they were close

Back to the article, and I note the comments are closed. Almost like someone doesn't want the public to discuss the merits of gold...

This comment was just.. 

 

"Everyone in the world knows that if you have a lot of gold - you are rich. This holds true today as it did 4,000 yrs ago. Then comes Property Then comes Diamonds"

 

Diamonds?!

I have just been reading some of the comments. Very interesting.

 

There's one that mentions Gordon Brown and the UK gold sell off.

Still pisses me off just to think about it.

[Keithoil]

Looks like Gordon Brown did piss everyone off including the Queen.

[Cornishfarmer]

Since he sold our gold it's gone up 500%, I believe he bought Euro bonds so I reckon we're down.

Don't laugh, but I made a couple of thousand pounds profit selling Pokemon cards on ebay in the early days. Used to get my local comic shop to ship in boxes of them for me, I'd open the packs, split them into sets and sell the special foil cards seperately. Good little sideline I had till the kids got bored with them and went onto the next thing. I've still got a large box full of the cards that I was left with.

Ah the old ones are the best.................LOL

Gordon Brown sold UK's gold at the lowest price in the past 20 years, it is speculated it was simply to bail out 

mega banking empire Rothschild and also rarely mentioned, AIG

 

There is also a credible speculation that the sale was designed to

benefit a few of the London based bullion banks which were heavily

short the precious metals, and were looking for a push down in price

and a boost in supply to cover their positions and avoid a default. 

 

Then from reuters sources:

 

Not long after the sell off NM Rothschild & Sons Ltd., the London-based unit of investment bank

Rothschild, will withdraw from trading commodities, including gold, in

London as it reviews its operations, it said on Wednesday.

The manner in which the sale was conducted, and the speed at which it

was undertaken, without consultation of the Bank of England, made many

of the City of London's financiers a bit uneasy.

 

It was later in 2004 "LONDON, June 1, 2004 (Reuters) -- AIG International Ltd., part of American

International Group Inc., will no longer be a London Bullion Market

Association (LBMA) market maker in gold and silver"

LONDON, April 14, 2004 (Reuters)
