This is a question Winning

I once won a gas boiler from The Guardian. Tell us about times you've won, and the excellent and/or crappy prizes you've lifted.

Nope.
I'll translate the quotes in my earlier post:
"Silver" means you buy the rights to some silver, not the metal itself.
"Storage firm" means although the company profess to store silver for you, they're really only holding onto certificates or receipts representing silver in a third party's storage -- this could be actual real silver they have in a bank vault so they don't have their own facility to worry about or it could be e-silver or they themselves might have bought "Silver" which may or may not exist.
If you own actual Silver (no quotes) and store it yourself then you have actually invested in Silver.
If you pay a proper Storage Firm (no quotes) who hold real Silver then you have also actually invested in Silver.
If you pay a "Storage Firm" then you've just invested in someone else who may or may not have invested in Silver.

OK.
Thanks for confirming that you were just blustering and backtracking. You could probably have done it in fewer words though.

Thanks for confirming you didn't actually read my posts.

No. But I "read" your "posts".

Thanks, I really did laugh.
