If one is holding platinum, one damn well better not reveal it. For the risk takers, there is BitCoin, which also is not reportable (and have you seen what happened to the value of that stuff in the past month, sheesh.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We could set up a business to help people maximize adversity.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
