I just called TD bank  and was told I need a SIN number to purchase any precious metals...

didn't you tell them that you are a SIN(ner)?!!  ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::

well don't buy from or through the banks. there are tons of small dealers about who sell up to a grand with just a receipt.

if you are going to do that why deal with the banks at all.  ::confused::

keep your cash somewhere safe..reduce your accounts to what you need for bills and to keep them going. take you cash in hand and buy silver.  don't go to the bank, take out a grand then go directly and buy silver.... : : : :

true! 

and I did not know that the banks would give you physical metals anyway.  have no experience with the banks that way.  I figue if you buy through them you have to hold paper...not to mention the personal record you establish

that's no good these days

look how investors lost on blackberry. its barely $10 now

Dem old people in Guyana seh this is the best place to put yuh money. 8)

* Right now Wall street is a momentum driven casino that is overvaluing everything that moves and all that stand still.

* The stock market is for the big boys not beginners and neophytes.
