Thus, I take a gamble it will stand just long enough so that it is either a) standing long enough so I can transfer my dollars out to another 'safer' entity or b) it's one of the last entities standing<br /><br />And then one has the issue of if you don't get your physical gold now, you might not be able to get it later.<br /><br /><br />imo, too many headaches, too much risk, would rather spend my time and energy elsewhere and be able to sleep at night with knowledge that physical gold removes all counterparty risk.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013187540374062181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089228851855763774.post-37853654611051332972012-01-24T06:01:55.706+08:002012-01-24T06:01:55.706+08:00Also off topic, at least sort of.
