Awesome, that would be great, thank you v much (it will help hiho too). Strangely I was just reading your post on the 'international swap is it worth it' thread and considering asking your opinion. Thanks again, Macros

^^^ Nice one Em! That's an excellent idea, ask those guys. Onto it. :cool:

Tnx Emanance (& hi, long time no see), Yeah it's not me travelling, but that would be the plan in essence and wouldn't be an issue for example arriving in Oz. But Singapore has this 0.5Kg rule and I'd be nervous in the event that a shakedown in the "Green Channel" revealing more than that...

Tnx mate - did you have any PMs at all on you for those trips? The KG AG should reveal the same process required as for gold (since they don't put a monetary value on it - though in some places they say 'over SG$400', it looks more like it's reportable if over 0.5Kg.) Your time frame should...

Thanks for the link that, was interesting reading though obviously doesn't apply to the Singapore jurisdiction which the info I need. Haven't heard back from SG Customs yet, but when I do, I'll post that back here for you Philber (and any other info I dig up). It doesn't need to be...

If anyone has had experience with this, feel free to post here or PM if you wish to be more discrete. I'm looking for some advice if travelling internationally and carrying gold on one's person when a Singapore stopover is in the itinerary (for a few days). Here are some facts to assist: - I...

But we have no way of knowing if that is real 'sudden acceleration'; or just a change in reporting; an adjustment they made; China pulling a fast one ... Not that I'm specifically disagreeing, only that it might be hard to get to the real facts in this example.

Hard to tell with China since from what I've read, they tend to only declare what they want to declare, and who knows what is really going on or how much gold they really have and import. But to take this idea and broaden it, 'apparently' (again, who knows), central banks across the world last...

Thanks GP - there was an interesting snippet in the Casey research newsletter too - thinly disguised as a "Buy your gold now through Hard Assets", but interesting nevertheless: Article was by Jeff Clark http://www.caseyresearch.com/cdd/buy-gold-now

Great list - that will be helpful, cheers mate!

^^^ Great thanks for the clarification! I guess that would only be useful for silver? (Gold is VAT-free in the EU isn't it?)

As usual, too cryptic for me VRS! Do you mean order from Latvia for delivery into France? Or go to Latvia? (which is not in France hehe) Cheers :D

Thanks CL - have you used all of those personally? For anyone else I'm looking for recommendations based on usage - I'm happy to run my own Google searches in parallel ;) No need to do the work for me.

I'm being asked by someone who may be in France this year and in a position to buy gold bullion coins. If you have a recommendation, I'd be most appreciative! -- They are interested in well-known gold coins -- 999 bullion only, no numis (eg. PM; Maples; Phil) -- Cash or credit card OK --...

It's when they say things like this ... so often it's the opposite is what is being planned. Who would ever trust any of these financial chumps anymore anyway (if you ever did!)

Bex and a lie down for me.

Don't you just hope that we have more idea than they do? If not, we are truly lost. These people are supposed to be financial experts - have they EVER run a bloody business or invested -- and made mistakes AND recovered? The (first) world is one giant nanny-state and one can only hope for...

Hehe, nice JulieW. There's gold fever beginning in the streets across the world I reckon. Dunno how long it will last if the price takes another tumble. Investors might be nervous, but they don't have staying power either. I liked the article from Jeff Clark in an email just received - sums up...

Thanks mate - I considered leaving a link, but there was too much steam coming out of my ears and I couldn't see the keyboard.

Definitely reminiscent of it! @iceblue - totally agree, the MSM will never be anything other than BS and why should I expect that - it's the level of derogatory reporting that is frustrating. The failure of modern media to do anything but construct grabs is very sad. What happened to the John...
