Buy some gold!

In vending machines in Germany

Gold sold like chocolate from German vending machines - Telegraph

Why? I know gold is one of the better things to invest in right now, but buying it from a vending machine at 30% above market price?

I'd guess it's there for impulse buyers juneau. It's like the supermarkets putting candy and soda right at checkout. They hope you'll see it, want it, and buy it.

Gold is selling at $939.70 an ounce right now. You should have bought gold four years or more ago. 10 years ago it was selling for under $300.00 an ounce.

And just think. Gordon Brown sold all our gold reserves a few years ago when it's prices was at it's lowest in a long long time. Way to go!!

What do you expect out of a politician? They are all the same no matter where they live or what religion they are.

But do you still have your gold reserves? Yes you do.

Can we switch Obama for Brown?

I heard a good one while DougBob and I were on vacation...vending machines that dispense common prescriptions so that you don't have to go into the store and get them. The machine scans it in, asks you a "few questions" and then dispenses your medicine. I haven't tried it and am not sure if I like the idea...some junkie can just beat the crap out of it and get some meds. Hopefully they don't put hard core meds and it is only antibiotics type stuff. But what is our world really coming to and what does it say about us as a species?

Great. So now I can put in my 30 pounds (don't know how to make the little symbol). Then the machine eats my money and the little corkscrew thingy goes about 3/4 of the way around once...and my bag of gold won't fall out. Then you start trying to shake the machine and that usually doesn't work and then you end up like Homer Simpson with your arm stuck up the flippy door while the SWAT team shows up and either shoots you or laughs at you. Like that doesn't happen to me enough already.
