Sentry Funds: all gold mined ever is 20m squared...?


If this is true, you better start drilling those bricks to see if they are tungsten.

  2. I still think Andy Murray would choke against a block of Gold on center court and loose! Said by a typical British citizen! I hope Murray buys silver and gold with his choker fiat winnings, at least he can out invest Nadal, Joker and Fed!

  3. Thats why I like the gold AEs. I dont see much risk in those having tungsten.

    1 oz of gold or a roll and a half of silver. Always a tough choice. Luckily its a win-win

    My local coin shop is getting cleaned out everytime they get any PMs. Its nice running into sheep there, who are just starting to wake up.

  4. Notice it says a 20m^2 cube. Square meters aren't a volume, try 20m^3.

  5. SILVER and GOLD at their turning point. Don't get caught sleeping this time around. Time to get serious again. The chop, chop, chop is about over....

  6. Steve: not only did they get that wrong, but as I understand it, all the gold ever mined would form a cube OF SIDE 20 metres (approx), so 20m x 20m x 20m = 8000m³. People suck at maths.

  7. How come people are paying 36-38 dollars for 1/2 ounce of junk silver on ebay?

  8. A bubble stock I am watching is Herbal Life (HLF). They are a MLM company that sells higher end vitamins, minerals, personal care products. Keeps making new highs. Like the high end furniture question (how is the stock price still going up?), I think this thing could crash & burn very quickly. Nothing to take action on yet. I look at it about once a week to see if there are any technical formations.

    Here's a link from How Stuff Works that answers that possibility.

  11. @radical rhombus, from the how stuff works article:

    "A recent spot price for gold was $256.10 U.S. -- using that number, all of the gold produced in a year is worth $12,805,000,000. That's a lot of money..."

    Oh, if we had only known back then...

  14. I wonder how they calculate this. They can't possibly know for sure. E.g. does this cube include the 2500 lbs of gold coins + other stuff found in India earlier this week??

  16. Gold is dense, 19.3 times as dense as water.

    If I calculate correctly a cube 20m x20m x20m
    is about 5 Billion Oz of gold. (4.964)
