But if you really want to pick up a couple sets, let me know.</blockquote>
I do not know about the Pandas, but my reading has told me that one can buy small bullion bars in the banks in China, and the government is encouraging and supporting the sales.
Pandas may be bought on Ebay.</blockquote>
I dunno about buying Pandas on eBay, but the opening of the Asian market is looking seriously ugly today.
Nikkei 225 ( Japan ) down 2.22%
Hang Seng (Hong Kong) down 1.84%
Kospi (Korea) down 2.79%
and Mr. Peter Schiff thinks that the U.S. market will be going down while the Asian market continues to rally to the moon. Yeah right! I will give me him credit for predicting the U.S. stock market crash in '07, but he was wrong telling his clients to move the assets into foreign stocks (especially Asia) while Asian stocks crashed twice as hard. In his new book Crash Proof 2.0. he boldy predicts the same thing that the U.S. stock market will crash for the second time while foreign stocks will be untouched and will rally to the moon. I think he will be wrong for the second time. Since 2005, I used to be a big fan of Peter Schiff, but now days, i think his head has gotten way too big.
