SPX currently at 1,864.78 Probability of reaching 1,965 by 3/1/16 is 6%. This vertical bull spread of selling 1,965 and buying 1,970 will pay around $40 with $500 margin required. Expected return = +1,000 (assuming 100 trades)

So I buy into the 80/20 rule. That is thatb80% of the wealth is controlled by 20% of the world. I have done the calculations to determine what a person would need to own to be in that 20% for gold and silver but the numbers seem off to me. So I was wondering if someone would do the calculations...

Does anyone use elemental vault? It is advertised on provident metals website. I know it is currently only a North America possibility, but still curious. The cost looks reasonable. I am mainly wondering about the costs associated with taking physical delivery and what you receive.
