I haven't followed this one in detail but a couple of observations, is there a shortage of investment gold or silver? Lets be honest the real money wont be buying 1oz coins, you would need to see if there are delays in signing up to Perth mint or goldismoney.com I think its great that he general public is beginning to wake up to bullion at least but in the short term it maybe a contrary indicator, when Joe public gets panicky its normally time to fade, remember rice earlier in the year.
