GregorArturo,

Welcome ... to my world ... I had this very conversation today with my mother. She lived through the depression and realizes this is a different economic event, even that it is more severe, but we are talking about conditioned serious issues. How long have we all been blitzed with the meme to trust the system, prosper with the system, feed the system? I have not found any answer beyond gently encourage and move forward, as all folks come around to their decisions from within their perceived inner universes.

Funny thing was, while I was there, she gave me several updates on the gold price surge today, I hadn't checked, so, perhaps she might exit some before the rush.

Here is one imaginative idea, borrow some of their funds, and convert it to metal for them, and then all share some smiles later!

Namaste!

Please help from a poor soul who walked away from wealth at an early age. I too have been trying to get my parents to please reinvest into something tangible for them, with some success last year my dad pulled his stocks but still has quite a bit tied up in the banking system and refuses to budge, I have no choice but to let it be. My question is I have never been materialistic and find it hard to get up the nerve to go for this, any suggestions? I can survive on very limited means and have always done so. You had also mentioned somewhere and forgive me for not locating your words that gold worn provides a sense of help can you elaborate further on this as well, a friend of mine has also told me this but I have always declined to do so?
