Word To The Wise...

A man in North Carolina got a 14-month sentence for trying to sell nonexistent gold bars.

As the price of gold increases, and excitement does too, so do those kind of crimes. Caveat emptor: a wary, or protected, buyer is a good buyer.


There's actually a case to be made for buying gold on a credit card. The credit-card companies are good at resolving cases of fraud by reversing charges and securing refunds.
