Note: You are much better off holding physical gold than ETFs. ETFs often hold synthetic gold instruments, which may not be deliverable in a crisis. Be smart, own actual gold and take delivery.

If there are knowledgeable gold lovers out there, pls tell me if you think PHYS is OK.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to hold a lot of physical. I know GLD is considered a sham. Not sure if SGOL is good or not. But I'm told that you can exchange your shares of PHYS for physical gold (assumes no breakdown of civilization).
