<5> redfish maybe I don't look good
<0> go browsing usenet articles dates 9/12/01

<8> kaliuna: What is the best way to invest in physical gold
<0> Krugerrands are fairly inexpensive
<7> move to south africa?
<0> http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en
<7> physically
<8> The only drawback is that you also have to invest in insurance and storage when you buy physical gold
<0> buy krugerrands. Last I checked they had the lowest face-value
<0> but that was years ago
<7> geez ... how much are you buying?
<9> buy old gold coins that have numismatic value
<0> old gold-coins aren't pure gold, tho
<10> The 20 dollar gaudens
<8> Do you really think its wise to keep even a single gold coin at home ?
<11> I bought gold coins when gold cost around 300/oz
<0> they're about 90%
<10> Best ever made
<10> ever!!
<11> I prefer engravings of Paul Kruger
<0> 10% copper is added to circulation gold-coins for hardness
<0> or was added
<11> Airburster depends on the coin
<0> Kerpal, if you have a good hiding-place
<7> i'd rather pay for a gun than storage and insurance
<11> pandas Krugeraands yes, Maple leaf no
<0> put it under a loose board or something
<9> or a safe that is bolted in
<10> Finest gold coin ever made....ever!
<11> my safe is bolted but that is not where I keep them
<11> Foorbin
<11> the finest gold coin is...any gold coin I own
<0> safes are natural targets
<9> i have 1 of those
<9> you got to find the safe first
<9> then you have to unbolt it, moce it then open it
<0> a hidden safe combines the best of both worlds, I guess
<9> move it then open it.
<11> mine is bolted and locked and you do NOT want to take a torch to it
<0> just don't keep it behind a painting. they all look there :)
<10> And if you live in an apartment....you better be sure the elevator can handle the safe
<10> :>0
<11> 4 lbs of black powder is inside the doorplate
<8> pilgirm: There is something mystical about gold..When you hoild it, you impulsively understand why its also called the Metal of Kings and why millions of people died throughout history trying to acquire it
<12> cool that will help blow it open
<11> Kerpal good electrical conductor too
<8> Yep
<13> My MP's weblog got hacked and turned into a porn ad site, hah
<14> I've never thought gold was that great of a metal
<14> it's weak.
<11> its great as a silicon dope
<7> pikcle: mp's?
<14> Well yeah, but I mean in terms of a metal in general.
<0> I've heard of gold cake-frosting. I suppose it's also edible
<8> P_O why do you think humans have been madly obsessed with gold throughout history
<0> tho gold is a heavy metal, and heavy metals are usually bad for you
<14> Kerpal-, cause it's shiny and people aren't too smart in groups?
<7> mercury is also "edible"
<12> naw, they are all shiny
<0> Kerp, it's rare, pretty and malleable
<12> it's valuable because it's relqtively rare and durable
<14> US-Male, I've never really seen shiny lead.
<0> malleable so it's easy to turn it into jewelry and such
<12> it doesn't degrade
<11> it is also around 500 bucks/oz right noe and I like that
<8> and incredibly beautiful ?
<0> facemasks
<0> Kerp, quite
<11> now
<12> P_O: cut open a piece of lead, it's shiny
<14> US-Male, I'm talking in their more natural forms.
<12> the exterior is an oxide or something
<14> You can make anything shiny if you want.
<7> lead isn't rare
<12> P_O: that's not lead
<14> US-Male, you think the ancient civilizations that battled for gold knew that? :P
<12> "shiny" is irrelvant
<0> lead doesn't shine that lovely golden color
<12> all metals are shiny.
<1> except for nonshinymetalic#4
<0> humans are just naturally attracted to that golden color
<12> P_O: they knew more than you =)
<14> Kerpal-, gold never really impressed me.
<14> US-Male, not surprising.
<8> pilgirm: Its actually 551$/oz right now..amazing and its still not too late to invest in gold funds
<14> Kerpal-, then again, I've never seen like a huge ultra-pure nugget of gold
<14> but gold jewelery doesn't impress me much.
<4> buying gold is only "investing" ;)
<0> it also meant a lot to the ancients who worshipped the Sun. Gold was like the light of the Sun on Earth
<0> many reasons why Gold is valuable
<4> the ancients were ignorant, though
<1> occ blasphemy
<11> interestingly before 64Ad the Roman solidus was gold, after 64AD they were aloyed with lead. It was claimed that the Roman main treasury when it burned mixed lead roof tiles in the gold, so coins minted with the current Ceaser's face: Gaiius Nero, are about 40% lead
<12> Romans were all drinking water laced with lead too
<11> note pre 64AD coins were required for paying taxes, post 64AD were used to pay Roamn gov bills
<7> how were the ancients dumb? ... what precious substance did they get wrong?
<0> lead fumes were also bad for you, unlike gold fumes
<12> the water supply pipes were lead
<0> does gold fume?
<0> also hear that lead may have contributed to the fall of Rome, by poisoning the people and driving them nuts
<4> everyones heard that
<4> i think its too pat.
<12> it's hard to ***ign a single cause
<0> may have been a contributing factor
<12> but it can't help
<0> but not the biggest, surely
<15> in many communities, in pre WW2 parts of town, lead water lines are very common yet today
<8> The Roman poer Virgil declared man's obsession with gold to be a : "Cursed Thirst" ..the evidence of centuries suggests that he was right
<8> poet
<5> Ad Buyers are reporting that Sirius Satellite Radio is getting about 1/2 the rate they had originally asked for to advertise on Howard Stern's new show.
<5> hahah
<0> My preciousssss
<12> gold is evil, but I will save you from the evil
<12> send your gold to me
<5> Sirius was asking $20,000 for a live read on the show - compare that to the $27,000 for a live read on his old terrestrial radio show.
<4> are you serious?
<4> <smirk>
<8> US: Will you destroy all that gold ?
<5> what new good movie is out
<12> Kerpal-: sure !
