The government of Canada sold off nearly half its gold reserves in recent weeks, continuing a pattern of moving away from the precious metal as a government asset.

I've been hearing doomsday warnings about a "coming financial crisis" ever since Y2K.

Starting to get rather old, this same old scare story to convince people that precious metals are the only safe place to invest.

Were you asleep for 2008?

Y2K? Look at 2008. It came.

Metals can be a good investment.

Metals can be an excellent investment!

I think I'll go buy a bunch of gold and then put out a huge wave of scare ads on FOX, then sell while it's artificially high. Easy money.

Well we've had at least two since then. If you're meaning some sort of full blown apocalypse...you should probably get out more.
