dirk, I am in the same position as you. May I ask who you ended up with? I had been seriously considering euro pacific but their commision is around 3% buying and I haven't been able to get a straight answer about the commision for selling. looks like they want another 3% for that as well. That's really expensive, but the broker suggested that its better than what you'd get trading pink slips and paying high commision on currency exchange which he says are both a rip off. If you have any experiance or advice on this I'd appreciate hearing what you have to say. I don't know where to begin to check the validity of this.

Thanks!
