Also, it is suggested it was drilled. Meaning, the rods were inserted later, explaining the offset in weight (lighter then it should have been). Interesting would have been to see photo's of the bottom or top, how this forgery would have been "sealed".
As for gold, I have a long-term position in the yellow metal that I will probably never exit or sell. My thinking is that sooner or later we will be subject to a major correction (bear market) that will wipe out or correct 60 years of inflation and leveraging. When that happens, I want to own the only kind of money that the Fed can't destroy.
Pretty much says it all.
Eventually there will be an awakening, a balancing of the scales and a bill to be paid, and for that I hold gold - Jim Sinclair
