Thanks Bob, My limited understanding from reading other threads is that a US citizen first must open an IB account with US dollars, and I've had an IB account for years. Then if you want your account to report in Au dollars, Ib will loan you the Au dollars and charge interest to do this. It is not clear from reading the Rydex Au dollar trust that it would pay interest on the funds invested and appears to be a straight hold of Au dollars. Is this correct?
So much for "Land of the Free" then, sounds like a dictatorship to me...by the way, how's your mortgage business going? Still selling those "fine properties"?
