Gold lender Mathon’s advice on lending ,
When lending, only lend to those you trust, who are knowledgeable in their field and have the means to repay. If possible, you should even consider taking some collateral worth the value of the loan. This winning combination of factors ensures you’ll get your money back eventually.
The moral : It’s better to have a little caution than a great regret.

The moral : We cannot afford to be without adequate protection.
