I am actually really interested to know this. In Aus there is a theoretical 250k federal insurance on deposits. That I think has been somehow watered down by the government to be capped at a certain amount and in reality it means that not all deposits will be insured up to the 250k amount... I...

Any bankers out there? Some non bankers may have the answer. The government savings guarantee that came in post GFC. 200k per person per institution. Does that mean that someone with say 800k in savings should split their savings up among 4 different banks so that each of the 200k is...

For those looking to get into, or further into precious metals at a nice AUD price point. What conditions do you think we should be looking for to see the AUD price of Silver and Gold at really low levels. Quite often drops in precious metal prices coincide with drops in the value of the AUD...

Looking for some graphs on government revenue and government spending. To be clear, I want to ignore GDP figures and percentages of GDP. Everything I can find is GDP related and I want to measure actual nominal revenue receipts vs actual nominal spending year on year. I'd like to go back to say...

Anyone know where I can get a comparison of the current rates for USD term deposit accounts in Australia?

Numi people I need some advice. I was just in an Iraq antique store and the dealer had a 1932 iraq coin that I believe is at least part silver. At least no attraction to a magnet. I didn't have my phone with me so couldn't take a pic. The coin was larger than normal and had some weight to it...

Hey Guys I was wondering if ya'll could help me. I figure this would be the perfect place to get the answer I need. A work colleague wishes to buy a metal detector for her brother who has wanted one for a long time. He will be a novice prospector so please take that into account. She has a...

Hi all! I thought I would get some feedback from those that keep records of their previous purchases. Just had a look at the Perth Mint website and saw that with a spot of $22.52 the Perth mint Silver coins are selling at an exact $10 premium of $32.52. Can anyone give me some rough dates...

I thought I would write this as much as putting my own words to paper as much as anything and to get some further discussion to possibly complete my thoughts to it's end conclusion. I wrote the below in the platinum trillion dollar coin thread. Although I and any sane person would not believe...

Do you hope a deal is not reached and the automatic cuts come in and why?

Hi all, Can anyone help in advice with the most reliable courier service that ships from Australia and Singapore? Pricing and reliability the most concern. Cheers Chris

I thought I would start a hypothetical discussion and get some points of view on an idea. What if Australia had some forward thinking leaders that understood gold enough to understand the need for Australia to hold larger gold reserves instead of foreign paper. While "nationalization" isn't...

I know it's probably come up before but I have to ask anyway. Why are Perth Mint Gold Proofs so exorbitantly expensive? I can understand mostly the mark up on silver proof coins but for the gold? Seriously? If you weren't trying to get some sort of Lunar set or other Proof set from the Perth...

Hello all, I have heard the use of the phrase or term "the banks calling in loans" several times on this forum and in other economic newsletters/editorials in recent times. So I have to ask, while I am more than up to date with housing loans and other bank products, I am at a loss to have ever...

Hi all, I have a very very dear friend of mine living in Italy and she is considering investing in bullion. Can anyone give me some insights on the best way to do this and all the pitfalls etc. What are the taxes on PM like over there etc and storage solutions would be handy also. Thanks in...

A fantastic article by Greg Canavan for the Daily Reckoning.

After receiving finally my Dragon order from Bullion Bourse today, I am now left over with a roll of 2011 Kooks that I neither wanted or needed. Finding out from them that I was not going to receive what I had paid for three months ago AFTER the Dragons had sold out at the Perth mint has left a...
