Rothschild Gold Bars
We sell Rothschild gold bars, when we can get them. The withdrawal of Rothschild from the gold market has intensified interest from collectors of their bars.
Another Market Maker Leaves
Shortly after the Rothschild surprise, another market maker AIG also quit as a market maker.
