Confiscation? Diversify.
This past week Julian Phillips put out a 5 part series on the future potential of a Gold confiscation in the U.S.. I personally am on the fence as to whether or not this will happen.

I Disagree With Julian Phillips Article on Gold Confiscation
READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER I detect a different “tone” to Larry Edelson’s most recent article. He’s not shouting that gold is headed down toward $1,450.

Read the Thursday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 10/18/2012 and the Friday Morning Commentary for 10/19/2012 There are just five MAJOR bullion mints – in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Austria, and Australia.
