No matter how hard I try to wrap my head around it, I don't understand how you buy commodities. Where is the corn or silver and
who decided it was a good idea take money from one person and tell them they were investing in a barrel of oil or what not? Why do you buy stock in somethink you cannot ever have? When money becomes worthless, you cant just up and get your silver from the bank who supposedly has it now can you?

I would love to be the brain behind a ponzi scheme, then when it played out, give everyone their money back. It seems like a huge game. I think our government is playing one :-)
