We Are Amid the Biggest Financial Bubble in History;
When It Bursts, Bullion Owned in the Safest Way Will Protect Wealth
With GoldCore you can own allocated -- and most importantly -- segregated coins and bars in Switzerland, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Switzerland, Singapore, and Hong Kong remain extremely safe jurisdictions for storing bullion. Avoid exchange-traded funds and digital gold providers where you are a price taker. Ensure that you are outright legal owner of your bullion. If you do not own segregated bullion that you can visit, inspect, and take delivery of, you are exposed.

Three men, identified only as Wissam R., Ahmed R., and Wayci R., are accused of stealing the coin during the night using a wheelbarrow to haul it away. The fourth suspect, Dennis W., worked as a guard at the museum for a private security firm and is accused of scouting out the scene.
German news agency DPA reported that the four men, aged between 20 and 24 years, went on trial today in Berlin district court.
Investigators believe that the suspects cut up the coin and sold the pieces.
