Who's to know? It' snot like they're peeking over your shoulder when you fill your box with bullion.  It could be your stash of vintage Twinkies for all they know.

My brother had a few thousand 'tax free' dollars he wanted to hide in his apartment, so he hid it in the wall behind the bathroom medicine cabinet. He said it only took a couple minutes to remove and install, but then again he is quite handy. I similarly enjoy exploring shared walls in apartment co...

I received the package from Polar yesterday. Their position, at least as they present it, seems quite reasonable. According to them, the reason GTU is discounted as much as it is is because shareholders are unable to redeem their shares for physical gold at NAV. If this was possible, the shares woul...
