Kudos for a great link!

Osmium has plummeted in price - 20 years ago pure Osmium was literally in the 100,000s of dollars per ounce, because it is fiendishly difficult (or used to be?) to separate it from Iridium as the two have very similar physical properties.

Maybe my osmium paper weight is a step closer to affordability, although it would need casing inside some inert metal such as gold because it (or the powdered form certainly) spontaneously oxidizes in air, producing a highly toxic gas Osmium Tetroxide. Also, only about 100 Kg is produced worldwide annually.

I made a mistake, in that I quoted your post, I wasn't trying to say anything about your suggestion, I apologise if I offended you in anyway.

Apology accepted. By the rules of CUK General. I now own you.

May I suggest

It may help you to find out why you got your argument about Platinum vs Gold so wrong and how you're trying use some nonsensical argument about French spring water to back up your mistake.

Ok, meet you in the middle of the Sahara desert, wait there for 3 days (remember to keep the water for me), then we will see how willing a trader you are then.

Did it have a bottle of Evian on the list?!!!

It's a deal. PM me with details for a meet up. I'll bring an Evian (I'll chuck in a bars mar as well) for 10Kg of Gold or Platinum. I'm happy with either.

I'm thinking more about protecting something against a potential government grab rather than total Mad Max. What I like about bulionvault is they have vaults in UK, US and Zurich so one can effectively move the money around by selling and buying physical and having it stored in different vaults..

That end of Britain report really did get me spooked!

You should Google "Tim Morgan project Armageddon" he goes into a lot more detail. The chap is global head of research for Tullet Prebon, a financial services company that in their last accounts had a nett worth of £623 million so probably a bit more knowledgeable than the people you find on here.

If you were in a desert dying of dehydration buy you had 10kg of gold, you would swap them with me for a bottle of cool Evian water. You seem to know the price of everything and value of nothing.

Is you a big thick? If we're talking platinum versus gold, platinum although 15 times rarer than gold is presently cheaper.



I'm more than happy to swap by platinum for your gold if that makes you feel better?

If you're keeping the physical stuff, is gold the best or would something with higher £/Kg be better so you can store it in as small a space as possible? Platinum or rhodium or something?

Platinum is cheaper than gold.
