I just read this: Why Germany wants its 674 tons of gold back Kind of scary when you see it all happen in front of you. I wonder if they will get a good rate for their gold, or if we will devalue it some more for a while. With LIBOR and QE#? it's no wonder they don't trust us anymore.
yes, i heard rumblings that the dutch wanted theirs too. Me thinks there is going to be a run on the fed. gold vaults. I mean seriously, do you want to be the last ones to get theirs out, or do you believe the FEDs self audit program. Seriously though, would you let someone hold your shiny gold metal to keep it save say .. 5k miles from your house or would you want to have it close where you can guard it from say .. Inflation? A super power saying, no you can't get it right now? I don't blame any nation for not trusting the bankers, even if it is the bankers that don't trust another nations bankers. We are about to see the problem with Fiat currency up close an personal before too long. Fiat is by decree and trust. once the trust is gone. Wipe your a$$ with it time.
I believe the time allotted for delivery coincides with the time needed to gold plate 674 tonnes of tungsten. Here's the story with a link, just in case you want to buy some gold plated tungsten for yourself: Here's How To Order A Gold-Plated Tungsten Bar - Business Insider and impress all of your friends.
wouldn't that be a pisser. Germany would invade NYC during a meeting of the UN. That would be great. There aren't going to be any guns to protect it anyway because of the states' legislature and governor. Shortsighted to say the least. Oh well, maybe that will be an example of why the other 56 er 55 er 49 states shouldn't give up their firearms.
