I want to buy some gold. How should I go about it? I want bars. Anyone know where to get it?

Here in Mexico you can buy Centenarios. They are golden coins that go for about the equivalent of 1,000 or 1,100 pounds, IIRC.

I guess if you go to a big enough bank in London they can tell you if your dream of hoarding gold bars like a pirate is feasible.

I want to monitor world gold prices and wait for a dip then hoarde them. Do you think gold bars would survive a house fire or would I have to keep them in a bank safe deposit box?

Gold has a melting point of 1064 degrees Celsius, house fire should not be a problem at all. But gold is very heavy, one cubic meter weighs 19,300 kilos.

If you really want to invest in a precious mineral, I suggest kryptonite. It's value ONLY increases in value, and there are always supervillians who are dumb enough to try and use it for a game of King of the Hill with Superman. It's a solid investment, particularly in a down economy.

I said that Apple would start eating into the handheld market and people scoffed at me. Well who's laughing now? Steve Jobs that's who. I can't see why Apple would enter into the game business directly with any kind of dedicated system since their products are already catching the eye of developers anyway.

I still think it's a little too early to say they're eating into it, though I'm fairly sure it will happen. Handhelds are in a transition period, so iPad or not there was going to be a down period. But Nintendo got off to a bad start with theirs, and I'm not sure if the price-cut alone will correct it.  I really don't think Sony is in a position to be much better. $250 is just too expensive for a handheld (as has now been proven).  Plus they've yet to announce game prices and battery life. Any damage that happens to the handheld market I think is going to be more due to the mistakes that Nintendo and Sony did.  Touchscreen gaming just still doesn't have anything to replace a real video game.

That being said it'll only take one innovative developer to figure it out, and I am betting it will happen.

Why are you laughing? GG asked a question, I remember gold was really heavy so I looked it up on Wikipedia.

Also

" These bars must be stored in recognized and secure gold bullion vaults to maintain their quality status of Good Delivery. The recorded provenance of this bar assures integrity and maximum resale value."

I don't think it would be a good idea to store them under your bed GG.
