Gold has finally made it to the front page of MSM last Thursday, 9th August 2012. However it was not a newspaper article but an advertisement for "How to buy Gold Bullion" for SMSF. The add was right across the bottom of 'the Australian' and was for a company called City gold Bullion. It was a bit of a shock for me. I stopped buying the Australian sometime ago after many many year of being a reader. I still glance at the headlines however and this caught my eye. It was probably more inclined to have been placed there because they recently opened a new bullion store at Upper Mt Gravatt. Well its a start anyway. Maybe one day it will be at the top of the page with Headlines'like Gold soars To record Heights.' Regards Errol 43
Um...yeah...no... I'm waiting for taxi drivers to start recommending it to me (unsolicited). I'd still argue that most of the general public have no idea about gold whatsoever, other than it looks pretty and is 'rare'.
I'll have to rely on you to keep an eye on the taxi drivers, as i don't catch taxi that often. And i'll cover the bus drivers.. oh wait, they don't talk that much :|
The time to pull out is when you go to a party and everyone is talking about "how many ounces i bought this month" and the government has some kind of first gold buyers scheme, to help the latecomers build their stack
