Another Reason Why If You Don't Hold It, You Don't Own It!

No doubt, Silverhawk. I really appreciate the concept of karma and the Oriental philosophies that adhere to this concept. It is all part of their concept of balance. Life is a circle to them, so any bad things done to someone else have a way of also happening in one way or another to the person committing the original bad act.

My son and I were having a philosophical discussion during the time when Bill Clinton was having all kinds of difficulty over this sexual escapades. My son asked, "Dad, what is the primary difference between people like us and the president?". I thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, it likely boils down to this. We fall asleep each night praying that there is a He|| for all the people in the world who do bad things and he falls asleep each night praying that there isn't!".

There is nothing whatever wrong with that approach. I have used it myself in many instances.

I feel OK buying via Internet from the BIG bullion dealers who have solid reputations for consistently delivering the goods at a fair price. I would not feel good about buying from anyone on Craig's List, even though most are probably honest. I also would not buy from just any old Internet site that claims to be a bullion seller. I did a lot of research on APMEX before making my 1st order with them. I am also researching Provident Metals and they seem to be good too. I am used to researching before buying and have been doing investing for a long time now, both via US mail and more recently via the Internet. Thankfully, I have had no problems with anyone trying to cheat me. I've been careful but there is always a chance that it will happen someday.
