Buy physical gold, so many practical uses like door stopper, paperweight, exercise equipment, and weapon to beat up would-be robbers. Highly recommend!

You should own both. If the gold ETFs collapse the physical gold will sky rocket.
Physical gold has risks of counterfeit, shipping costs and dealers fees. Physical you hold for a long long time. ETFs you can trade a lot back and forth.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I invest in GLD ETF. The only metals I invest in and hold is lead, aka ammunition. If physical gold will be the only reputable currency then you can't assume the country is in the same state it was in when you made that purchase. Invest in gold ETFs buy ammo. Lol

If you want protection from inflation, ETF.
If you want protection from the system, physical.

i personally buy at GLD ( GOLD ETF) coz i just bought less than 10$.

Depends on why you have the gold. Is it for future income? ETF. Is it an insurance policy? Physical.

[liangsunsh]

The premium is a one time fees, but the fees to hold the ETF is per annum.

It makes no sense to buy physical gold and have someone else store it. The reason you buy physical gold is to have it on you in case of an emergency or a monetary collapse.

If you buy above the minimum for most dealers then shipping and delivery is free, and storage is free, so the only costs you should be contending with are the buy premium and the sell price. You should always be getting at least spot price when you sell, and possibly more depending on the form of gold. If they offer less, then walk away, they're double dipping hoping your desperate to sell.

Which means that what really matters is getting the best buy price you can at the lowest premium.

PS If you're going to pay someone to "store" your gold, just buy the etf instead and stop losing value. The ONLY reason to ever store gold would be because it's part of a retirement account and you're not allowed to receive it until it matures.

Thanks, it seems a significant factor that wasn’t mentioned is comparing the potential return of each. Like how does the return of a gold ETF correlate with the return of real gold. Thanks.

Going physical is safer and makes it funner too.

[DowsStockTalk]

Great Video! I am a big fan of Gold Etfs because it is very liquid, and you don’t have to worry about storage. I made sure I smash the like button

There are a lot of strategies to make tongue-wetting profit that the average joes don't know. . Personally, the financial-market for me seems the only way forward with my long time horizon (accrued roughly $457k in gains since Mid 2021 ) but if you don’t have that fortune of time it’s a tough market out there almost nowhere feels safe!

Buying silver and gold is easy, but it is renowned for stability during economic hard times like this. The main problem is investing in stocks, dividends and even cryptocurrencies to grow your portfolio.... I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $190K for some time now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

Thanks, Nathan, another great video!
