Comments on: China’s Gold Purchases Another Wild Card in Market http://www.personalliberty.com/preserving-wealth/chinas-gold-purchases-another-wild-card-in-market/ Live Free in an Unfree World.

China will and has sold off gold when the dollar declines just the same as central banks in the rest of the world do. The confiscation or simple inaccessibility of what you have in your bank safety deposit box is not a plus either, nor is bad people thinking you have a stash of gold at home. I'm suggesting you invest in the means to survive, food, water, medicine, security and alternative energy but most of all KNOWLEDGE. Make sure all your friends and family members know the basics of survival, edible/medicinal plants, etc. and how to grow a garden and orchard, if you have to rip out the flowers and plant fruit trees and berry bushes to supplement your diet if you can. Don't make it a special project you get tired of and give up on, work it into your daily routine, common sense and healthy habits. Invest your money in simple self suffiency measures that make life healthier and easier no matter what comes. It will only boost your property value, but don't hinge everything on local utilities, you have to be able to exist off grid, off municipal gas/water/sewer, or you will be in an untenable position if things go really bad. A woodstove, ax, handsaws, etc. will be worth more than a oil furnace or pellet stove, more work but more available supply, and there will be plenty of idle hands capable of cutting and hauling wood. Good quality fastening hardware, fencing wire, small game traps, hand tools, drill bits and saw blades only go up in value, pick them up at a bargain when you can, even if you only oil them and hang them up in the garage attic. If we hit a prolonged crisis, people will be trading gold for tools. Safe storage for food reserves in case someone breaks in, either a root cellar or hidden pantry is advisable. A bow or crossbow for hunting is silent, gunshots will draw attention, (as guns will become a form of currency and especially desired by the worst elements), and it's easier to make arrows than bullets. Bicycles, wheeled carts, etc. anything not requiring gasoline/diesel needs to be kept safe and usable, wheels and tires especially. I would prefer being off main roads or rail lines which would be conduits for roving masses, and where overflowing sewers wouldn't pool, waterways downstream of sewer plants will also be polluted, so make sure you are away from that. Consider these investments before you bury a jar of gold in the backyard. If you do bury coins or guns or anything, bury junk to help confuse metal detectors.

WAKE UP AMERICA before it's too late. Recall those representatives. The dems have an agenda to put in place before 2010. Unfortunately too much damage will be done by then unless the blue ticks wake up...and they have on cap & trade in the midwest because the public is getting educated what it will mean to their personal utility bills. Oh but obama was not going to raise taxes except for the top 5%....my butt. Beck nailed it yesterday. WAKE UP AMERICA before it’s too late.

Also the several articles unrelated to the company's saying the same exact thing were wrong. You however who are advertising here are right and want to sell us your gold. Ill stick with the ones I went after instead of the one that comes after me. By the way none of the other business made us PAY for info. Therefore I suggest anyone interested go to the one Glenn Beck or Rush or any other of the others have already investigated or to Blanchard. They will give you prices and info for free and sell you bullion too if you like. They all will also send you FREE info.

The simplest and most obvious way to buy gold is in its physical or bullion form. Bullion refers to the metal minted into coins or cast in bars with the weights marked on them. There are many gold coins that have been or are currently being minted.

The gold coins we recommend you buy are the American Gold Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, African Krugerrands and the Australian Kangaroos. We prefer these because they are stamped in English, have their gold content stamped on them, come in convenient, well-known sizes (1-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and one-tenth-ounce) and sell at small premiums over the value of their gold content.

Gold bars are growing in popularity for those interested in accumulating gold. They are available in 1-ounce, 10-ounce, kilo and 100-gram sizes. All are .9999 fine gold, which means they are 99.99 percent pure.

Larger quantities of gold can be purchased on the Comex, the commodity division of the New York Mercantile Exchange on which gold, silver, copper and aluminum are traded.

Generally, we recommend you avoid collectors’ or numismatic coins, unless you also collect such coins as a hobby, and deal with a firm you know well and trust. The numismatic market is highly complicated and demands that investors take considerable time and effort to educate themselves, and to shop for the best prices, if they hope to be successful.

American Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:04:35 +0000 http://www.personalliberty.com/?p=3383#comment-10771 Well altho I appreciate the thought I do know this from my bible that no man will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast.Rev:13,16-18. So I know there will come a time when none of it matters. But God also shows us in several places to save up in good times for times of trouble. So saving some gold for when times get bad is just as smart as saving some food and being prepared. Im not saying dig a hole and hide in it but we are to be smart about it. Also we are to rely on God through Christ to see us through the times ahead so It doesnt matter what you or the Government or the united nations or the anti-christ says and does because it is GOD who is ultimatly in charge and HE is the one letting stuff happen to bring about HIS plan. And by the way they didnt take everything. I wasnt there but my father was and one should know who lived through it.

Do you really believe Obamma is in charge? The only people dummer than politicians are the 14th amendment citisens of corporate UNITED STATES.
