It is indeed true as written in Proverbs, "there is nothing a man takes to the grave that he can carry in his hand." But there is something he can carry in his hand when he goes to any other place on earth, and that is gold or silver. If you are going to own, then OWn and have, and in the worlds of Eric King, "Take possession." Don't trust that the gold ETF isn't a scam. Hopefully it is not, but it just might be, and when it all comes crashing down, you will want to be holding gold and silver in your hands. Because if it all comes crashing down, most likely it will all come crashing down, your bank account, your mutual funds, your ETF's, everything except what you carry in your hand. And what government official is going to help you get your money back when he's worried about getting toilet paper for himself? It could take a while to sort out if something bad happens, and something bad could happen. Bull
