I doubt that my tale of the first capitalist had any influence on Benjamin Franklin as I believe that I originated it. However, as with many things that have lurked around in my brain for many years, I can't state with 100% certainty that I might not have picked it up somewhere in the distant past and claimed it as my own.
I don't see any advantage to an e-gold account unless you want to make some kind of statement. They are on the verge of illegality and you would be entrusting your savings to relatively unknown purveyors of the product. Avoid storage charges (but I don't), buy gold stocks or mutual funds and, if you're paranoid about the total collapse of the economy, buy coins.
