    Where To Invest In Gold

    So finally that door closed. It was open for far longer than I expected. I was amazed to see it selling in Banco Piano only a year ago.

    Have Passport, Will Travel

    I think the economic culture and western paranoia combine a lot on this forum. I do think the passport coralito could happen though. However, I'm the sort of oddball who considers this as a possibility for other countries such as the USA and UK. Always a worry and it takes mostly time or a lot...

    The only money printing company nationalized

    It's the Argentine setup that interests me in this thread. If we go to any currency exchange site, look at the historical section and compare with other currencies (or xau) we can get a relative comparison of inflation rates. While this is not absolute, you can at least compare currency to...
