I agree with everything you say -— tell people the sky is falling and sell them gold to weather the storm. Good business and nicely targeted.
The sky IS falling, and gold might be a great way to weather inflation, and in fact, coins may resist a govt confiscation better than straight bouillon, but, from what I hear, GL is NOT the place to purchase your gold.
I am still learning about all this stuff, precious metals, you have to really be careful, I read yesterday about rust showing up on some gold coins that had come straight from the Russian bank!
