Hello all! I've heard a few mentions before that Stefan used to do gold panning, but when I searched on this forum for gold panning info, I found very few actual references to this. I was wondering if maybe considering the price of gold going through the roof, people wanting to be their own boss...

You may find this interesting as far as reasons for gold plunge go (or governments' interventions into banking). Basel III agreement has removed gold as possible liquidity carrier in a move regarded as effort to keep USD as the main reserve currency. http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations...

If you have some experience buying gold online I would apreciate your advice about the best gold sellers, as well as your thoughts on the best makes/issues of coins and bars.

I was listening to a lecture by George Selgin the other day on Private money (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-gn55fTRXZw ) and got to thinking something: Let's assume we've acheived a free market with competing private currencies, what are some ways mints can...

Hey Stef and Listeners, I think that Stef doesn't like to give financial/investment advice, but where we put our money is and important part of life.
