Seems like markets could be in for a rough time this week. Interested to hear if anyone is looking at specific buying opportunities. For me, I have wanted into PLS for a while but missed the boat in some respects. However I now have some more funds available, so if it dips into the 40's later...

Hey there fellow stackers, I have a bit of a wealth management question I would like your input on. The situation is that I have just accepted a new job in Moscow, Russia. Obviously things aren't going so well for them right now and look a bit grim in the immediate future. To cut to the chase...

My lovely girlfriend recently went on a retreat in Nepal :rolleyes: and came back with a bunch of books about Buddhism. Now I am no big fan of organised religion, but from what little I know, Buddhism seems OK. I have been reading some of these books and a few quotes from one book in particular...

I happened to see this episode of 'The Stream' on Aljazeera and thought it might be interesting to some members here. IMO it offers a fairly balanced look at the conspiracy theorist sub culture... the guest speakers in particular offer some interesting insights...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/currency/10210022/Bitcoins-banned-in-Thailand.html They much prefer to launder their money the old fashioned way out here :lol: I think this could be the first of many, however such a ban would seem to be unenforceable on the individual scale. Of course no...

I started to realise a while ago there is a lot of anger amongst stackers at a lot of things ie. the government, the 'elite', bankers... basically anyone they can point their fingers at be they real or imaginary. It struck me tonight that the process of someone coming to the realisation that...

I have tried to sell some world coins privately with no luck, and had a horror bill come in today. So the coins have to go... I am talking world gold coins, so Francs, Ducats etc I have never sold coins like this back to a dealer in Brisbane. So who is best to sell these kind of coins back to...

Now, a bit of a weird question I cant find an answer to. Is there a bullion storage facility that will accept deliveries on your behalf and add them to your lock box.... and obviously then provide some kind of quarterly audit of your holdings so you have some peace of mind that what you have...

Good evening fellow stackers, just after your opinion on this little idea I had recently. I saw how quickly some complete sets of coins sold recently in the trade section, which made me consider building some sets... following on from that I wondered if there would be much of a premium attached...

So I have 10 of these critters that might need to be sold soonish, and need to gauge a price. Just on some basic searches on Ebay, it seems that they are fetching 70ish quite easily, which doesn't quite match up with what they go for here. Even though I would prefer to trade through the...

So its pretty interesting that the gap between gold and platinum is closing quite rapidly right now. It is my understanding that platinum is quite a bit rarer than gold, so what does everyone think... any implications or plans to capitalise?

Ok guys I am young and honestly know very little, so please be gentle. I am still on the army payroll, but am on the way out. I think the military super fund is alright, and I had intended to just stick with it.... until I realised that it isnt fully funded (is this correct)? So, even though...

I am sure many stacker's already get email updates from the Soverign man blog, but I thought I would just share this little gem that came through in todays email. http://www.sovereignman.com/aot/aot.html?a_aid=itime2&a_bid=de7a872c&chan=smaot The video is nothing new to most switched on...

It was a bit of a surprise GP, but im liking the forums new direction... I need to add more honey to my portfolio :P You have the ever useful buying gold and silver in Australia guides, I think its time for a new sticky to help forum members find the best value honey :) maybe the site logo...

In a moment of weakness today I found myself flicking through The Australian over coffee. In the busines section I came across this article by Robin Bromby...

On reading Mervyn King's candid analysis of the state of the British economy it struck me how refreshing it was to hear the countrys most powerful banker just tell it straight, no matter how bad the news. Although he is probably just preparing the public for a very bad year, from what I usually...

I finally got around to reading Sun Tzu's Art of War today, and one particular passage caught my attention: 'Sun Tzu said: In the operations of war, where there are in the field a thousand swift chariots, and a hundred thousand mail-clad soldiers, with provisions enough to carry them a thousand...
