True Laurinaitis man not be the best linebacker to ever come through OSU but he sure is damn well one of the best and it's not his fault that we got blown out in 06, or beat in 07. If you would be a true OSU fan you would have realized that he set a BCS record for tackles in a game in 07, my friend that doesn't just happen by being overrated. you are an idiot and deserve no respect from any OSU player or fan who truely believes in this program. When you have a thorpe winner like jenkins and other glorified players you are as ignorant as those that bash on us for "not being able to win the big one" . I bet through the years of 02-06 you were as big an OSU fan as we could find... do all of us a favor, turn in your degree if you're so ashamed of it and quit being a fan of us if all you want to do is complain when we don't win national title after national title. how unrealistic and dumb are you? you are a fucking disgrace to this university and anyone who represents it when yo are calling out people younger than you when you have no idea what they have been through and no idea how hard they have worked towards competing with the best and playing like a team.

Each share of CEF is always backed by the same amount of gold & silver. They are not allowed to issue shares without acquiring more bullion to back them up. I think you mean that the total market cap is worth more than the spot price of all the gold & silver in their vault (due to the premium).

The ETFs are the worst possible way to seek bullion exposure. They all run at least some risk of failing outright. Off-site storage services are only advisable of you live in the same town as the vault. :) In the equities space, CEF is the best, and is the one choice I agree with you on. It's either paper, or it's not... there's no in-between.

Perth Mint is 100% owned by State Government of Western Australia, not Australian Federal Government. Why is that relevant? Because Western Australia is where all the gold is in the ground and the mining industry employs a lot of voters, so you have to consider if State Government is going to do anything that hurts the gold mining industry.
