I really am frustrated when it comes to investing in South Korea. I want to buy some gold coins or gold bullions but here in Korea, there are no gold coin shops. Banks don't sell gold. The Korean mint does not make gold coins. Of course this is just the top of the iceberg compared to the problems I am having with investing my money while I am working in South Korea. Did you know that Korean brokers do not give you a prospectus on each stock before you buy it? Also, some dealers just give you a handful of stocks and you don't know the companies. Yeah, that's South Korea for you.

Anyway, does anyone know how I can buy or invest in gold in South Korea? Or how about Asia, I am willing to travel anywhere in Asia for great deals in gold, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, anywhere in Asia.

Sorry for being long winded but Korea's investments strategies are a$$-backwards

I'm buying some gold from this site:

http://www.blanchardonline.com/blanchard_products/bullion_investing_guide.php?content=18668274311&gclid=CIrdmaW3lZYCFQZinAodgCMxFg

I'm buying about $7,000 worth of rare gold coins (mostly gaudens ms-63) but I'm also buying about $3,000 worth of gold and silver bullion.

My only concern is whether I should rally be investing in more rare coins rather than bullion.

This would be a daily blog, on a subscription basis, listing greed and fear factors operational at the time of publication. It would retail for around $50 per month. It would arrive by e-mail to subscribers, or on their kindle machines.

It would contain only non-insider information. No information from inside any gold mining firm. No information from insider any bank.

Everything would be public data, but on a global basis, so when you get your e-mail, you get a greed book with every factor listed in order of importance, and you get a fear book with every factor listed in order of importance.

You are supposed to combine this information and analysis with your own insight and knowledge and develop a competitive trading edge that is personal and that gives you a fair advantage in the spot gold market, as a bullion trader, or as an ETF trader, or as a futures trader (calls and puts).

Would people pay $50 per month for this? How about if it included bulletins in real time for major greed factor or fear factor events?

How much would the competitive advantage be worth to the average bullion trader, handling say a moderate portfolio of assets.

How about if the first 100 subscriptions were sold at a discount premised on the idea of giving honest endorsements that could be used in advertising (affidavits, but where the ads would just give the first name of the customer -- like Bill from New York, or Sally in Paris). Let them buy 6 months for half price -- see how the endorsements come in --- if they are good, pick out the best ones and use them for marketing.

In the second year, if the business is still up and running, new customers pay $1,200 per year. Old customers get a one year extension on their original price ($600/year). In the third year, same thing, price doubles for new customers, all old customers pay last year's price. So new customers in the third year pay $2,400 for the year, and all the old customers pay $1,200 for the year.

This is a pure service. There is no product. There is no anti-trust law that applies. Whatever pricing power exists is there because the service works well and people make money using it. The pricing power should be exercised strongly until it starts to result in a sub-optimal number of customers. The free cash flow should be used to hire more global research personnel to monitor greed factors and fear factors in real time, especially when the spot gold market is closed. So the morning report has huge competitive advantage impact on those who receive it and read it. They have to see the money they are making --- show them the money!! That's the world we live in today. OK good -- my question is how powerful is this business model?

If the person starting the business was an MBA/JD with 30 years experience trading gold, and the service was really very good, is there a better way to get the business up and running? Does anybody have a suggestion for a publisher besides Kindle, Google, Sony, Yahoo, and Microsoft?
The report of greed factors and fear factors is publicly available information to all persons who want to stay up all night and analyse what is happening in the world. The factors are also put in order of importance. That requires analysis. Analysis can be done skillfully or unskillfully. Let's assume that unskillfully done analysis is worth less than zero but that very skillfully done analysis is worth at least $10,000 per day to a gold bullion trader. Let's also assume that there are at least 1000 businesses that make a lot of money by providing data and interpretational guidance to clients in real time -- so my idea is not completely new.

Not everybody knows everything at all times with correct weighting of its relative significance.

Why would an MBA/JD ask about a business model that contained no value proposition for the customer?

Just so a moron could offer an inane comment? I think not.

My questions does not go out to the morons, it goes out to the geniuses.

I point out Marketing of Gold and Silver Numismatic Coins and the extra money that these coins can cost. I think people should understand that liquidating raw bullion can recoup your investment verses FIDING a market for your Numismatic Graded Coins.

They are a private company, and not the United States bank.
United States actually BORROWS money from Federal Reserver (FED) and owes them $9 trillion in debt.

Their money is not backed in gold or silver bullion.
They print money as they please.

They have been blamed for causing the depression.
They have been blamed for our high taxes.
They have been blamed for purchasing political candidates.

Since their money has no value, it can cause the collapse of all financial institutions around the globe.

Countries on both sides of a war borrow money from the Federal Reserve.

Is there truth to these alegations?
Is there a better alternative currency?
