Buying Gold today is easy and safe. With the World Banking system at melting point, buying Gold today is the best long term financial decision you can make in this economic climate. The U.S. and World banking debt is in the region of 46 Trillion Dollars, thats? a lot of debt! This is why Banks are apprehensive about lending to one another. the Governments bailing out of Banks with injections of cash, will only paper over the cracks. The banking system will collapse as it no longer based on anything tangible, it exists only as a confidence in itself which has now gone.
With Government ownership you will not be allowed to access your money. The Government will use the same anti-terrorism laws they deployed during the Icelandic Banking situation and seize assets to block people from rescuing money owed to them. Millions of people are now converting from cash to Gold.
