Re: O/T Looking for \"under the mattress\" type investment
Something I do with all my spare cash is to buy "broken gold jewellery", I get it for 15-20% discount to its gold content. I then refine it myself and separate the gold from the silver (freebie) and other metals.
There are always friends, acquaintances, etc. that have old jewellery, coins, scrap, etc. that they want to dispose of. At a nice 20% "entry profit" is a good deal.
When my hoard gets too big, I sell the 99.9% pure gold to a jeweler at full market price plus a premium for being it a black market operation.
All in all I'm happy with it.
If you want details on setting up a "gold and silver home refinery" with some pots and acids and cheap chemicals, etc. I have a guide that I sell for $100. You will produce 999.5%+ pure gold and 999/1000 silver.
