RE: Why I bought gold coins and gold mining shares 25 years ago19 Dec 2025 10:49
Hi Yellowstuff, i also got screwed by GB with Equitable and still fighting them through EMAG, i recon that i have lost 250000 in pension payments since then.
There are many stories as to why they sold the gold.
Save the bullion banks
Save the dollar as Canada, Switzerland, Holland, Oz also sold huge amounts of gold on the FED demand?
Gave the gold to the EU and took rubbish EURO.
Just wish i bought gold/Silver at that time, was dumb i suppose, but in 2019 i wised up and started buying gold brits and after Silver Brits and some yanky stuff and of course GGP, there you go. Also i lost my job in 2019, had offers in Saudi, Pakistan and South Korea but Covid got in the way so being 74 years old at that time i retired, sold some GGP to buy the small farm next door, but my story from then is like many other LTH and my pension is now zilch and holding on, that's life, enjoy when you can with family and kids and a Merry Christmas to all. Lateral thinker. DM
