The blue chip graveyard is full of failed blue chip companies ..but that has nothing to do with the apocalyptic scenarios those who want to hoard physical gold think up

nyc finally did away with sales tax on gold . i regretted buying from fidelity and not benham capital at that time . benham had the zero coupon treasury funds back then . boy talk about volatile .
The handful of coins I do own were bought in the mid-90s from Benham Capital. It seems that they are no longer in business?

I used to have a Benham Capital T-Bill account, if I recall correctly, but it was a long time ago.

I had the 2010's, which obviously matured 10 years ago.
But when I had them I figured out that they had stale pricing and I could arbitrage the price.
I tripled my IRA in a few months and then they told me to cut it out and actually changed their terms of service to restrict the number of transfers out. :D
