Re: Gold FAQ
Even though this is an older article, it is very well written, and should still apply for many years to come.
Precious Metals, like Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium have always had their place in a well balanced retirement portfolio.

Re: Gold FAQ
The link in the first post doesn't work. I'm wondering if someone could restore or fix it?
Re: Gold FAQ
Craig took down the crawlingroad website. Can anyone post the FAQ somewhere else?
Re: Gold FAQ
Craig, is there any way you could put a disabled or archived version of the site at that domain? Just turn off the commenting or whatever, and have all the old content still there? If you'd like to offload the hosting to somebody else, I'm sure we can find a volunteer.

Re: Gold FAQ
FYI, it looks like there's no way to view that FAQ.
Re: Gold FAQ
At one point there was a changeover in where the forum was located or some major thing that actually threatened the survival of the forum. Others will give you much better details.
But one of the results was that certain things were lost from the prior incarnation of the forum.

Re: Gold FAQ
The FAQs were hosted on Craig's blog. When that went away, he replaced the links to it with links to the archive.org cache of them. Sadly it seems those are now gone too.yankees60 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:37 pmAt one point there was a changeover in where the forum was located or some major thing that actually threatened the survival of the forum.

They never had anything to do with the forum.
Re: Gold FAQ
Via archive.org I have been able to go back to much of what he formerly had on Crawling Road. I believe that was how I got there.Xan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 24, 2020 5:49 pmThe FAQs were hosted on Craig's blog.
