In this ranking Panama would rather be in last place, but unfortunately they are in the middle of the pack of 16 countries rated by World Health Organization for young people between the ages of 15 and 24 who are victims of murder. In a recent report titled “A Map of Violence on Young People in Latin America,” the likelihood of a young person in Latin America being the victim of a murder was 30 times greater than a person living in Europe. You can read the complete report here www.ritla.net. Glad I am over 50 as the statistics show we are not the targets.

Your gold is not held as a liability in a gold "account" and there is no intermediating trust. The gold you buy is your personal tangible property, stored economically in one of the safest places on Earth. You set the whole arrangement up in an hour or two, without any of the time-consuming procedures and hidden costs you may have experienced in trying to acquire gold. - Panama-Pacifico
