    milan buys gold bullion delivered by pony and cart, which he buries in his decrepit falling-to-bits barn, next to his dilapidated peasant's hovel.

    you must of course do your own research


    reading the latest research about the world's largest producer, Barrick,

    http://news.google.com/news/search?a...ick+gold+hedge


    it appears, for several reasons, the hedge funds are piling into Barrick



    this would suggest the answer to your question is yes

    pls do your own research

    Milan.

    yes you may know more about derivitives and complex financial instruments, but I know the simple rules like:

    . don't trust any pension product or the people who sell them

    . if you need to borrow to buy something it means you cannot afford it

    . shares can go down as well as up

    . in the long term, property will always win and grow with inflation

    . au will always be a transferable wealth holder and grow with inflation


    simple rules which helps one to sleep peacefully at night what

    Milan.
    So is gold a good investment today?

    Stick to tape changing and potato farming.
    When people who are, shall we say, not up to it, get into finance they end up like Santa, slowly pissing their pittance into the wind.

    started a topic ay you goes from strength to strength

    ay you goes from strength to strength

    sign of the times

    was reading a couple of days ago barick are going to buy back their hedges

    the hedges have been holding back their growth for some years but their configence in the market price mean they will buy out the hedges and get the full benefit of the growth in ay you

    which suggests there is more to come

    in terms of divercifying barick is looking like an interesting play

    what does the jury think ?

    and don't keep quiet those of you who were laughing at i when ay you was 600 green backs

    Milan.
