According to the mint, investors purchased nearly half a billion dollars in gold and silver in the last 30 days. There was, in fact, so much money shifting into physical precious metals in January that the mint was actually forced to cease operations because they couldn’t meet demand.

I have a old 401 from another plan I was on. I was thinking of having them purchase either nothing but copper or gold with it. How do you feel about copper? I think copper is the next gold.

Very useful metal...copper.

I recently got four 1-ounce gold Canadian Maple Leaf coins from my late father's safe deposit box. My two brothers and my sister also got four.

I'm gonna put them in my own safe deposit box. I also have 42 1-ounce silver coins that I collected in the 1980s. We'll keep them for a rainy day, if one comes....
