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

[@BuceGar]

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.

[@purpleking159]

Would you say GOLD ETF isnt a good monetary collapse plan?

[@BuceGar]

@@purpleking159 If there was a monetary collapse, either hyperinflation or governmental collapse, you would want to have the physical gold, not an ETF. If you are simply hedging against everyday inflation a gold ETF is fine.

[@rachelsvlog-cookinggardeni8299]

[@liangsunsh]

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

[@georgemichaels2880]

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

[@NathanHQ]

Yes, nice points. Thanks George 👍

[@ericchan769]

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.

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

[@NathanHQ]

Yes, makes sense. Thanks mate. Appreciate it!

[@guybumbling]

There is a bid/ask price for ETFs that is effectively a premium on the spread. So why is that not part of your calculation for ETFs? This can be 0.2%-0.5% and possibly higher if market liquidity dries up.

[@ttradercatubig1640]

I've invested stocks and crypto and thinking gold also but I want physical, but as you said there is a big risk in here.

[@NathanHQ]

roughly 5% premium. Small amounts ok but it does depend on your situation. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks. Speak soon!

[@elementosdecali5175]

Would it make more sense to buy physical gold since GLD stock charges 0.40%

[@joelstrickland8890]

Thank you for the clear cut, non bias opinion!

[@JustXCeeD]

You mentioned that GLD charges 0.4% ANUALLY. So if you are planning to keep it for 10+ years, it will end up costing you more than the premium you are paying physical gold. I don't think your comparison was fair.

[@NathanHQ]

Hi - if you are buying 1-2 coins yes 👍 many investors buy and hold much larger amounts so they will be paying for storage each month

[@JustXCeeD]

@@NathanHQ Yes but paying 0.12 for storage is better than paying 0.4 for gld (both are annual costs). If you are keeping them for a long time, the GLD annual costs will catch up to and then exceed the amount you paid for the premium. Isn't this correct?

[@ok_best]

Having gold in physical form is the best…. in long run. You bring a gold coin to dubai, shanghai or anywhere in the world, it almost immediately can be cash out…. but bring you etf cert…. you are stuck with a company that issued the etf. if the company goes bust…. then it gone. It does not matter how good is the etf company…. look at 2008 how many AAA COMPANIES or AA companies that died…. real gold is thetrue gold standard

You forgot that with ETF's you have the opportunity to do options. Either getting paid to buy stock at a lower price (selling puts) or selling cover calls on future prices of Gold to make money in between to buy more gold. This is what people do with stock that pays no dividends. If you play it right you can make a huge percentage just by selling covered calls.

Can government block the ETF gold under extreme circumstances?

[@zaldum386]

they can and will block everything they want

[@MrMediterrano]

The comparison is incomplete if u do not consider the costs, the waiting time, the various restrictions and risks involved in getting physical delivery from the ETF. I had to wade through pages of small print and came up with a dozen of questions regarding the process of getting physical delivery from the UBS GOLD ETF and am still waiting for them to answer and I bet they will do all what they can to avoid giving me an official answer in writing. I therefore think that ETF is superior to holding physical gold only as long as u do not have to get physical delivery of the gold stored in ETF’s vault. BTW the gold is not even stored by the ETF but by a custodian and its subcustodians. The subcustodians do not assume any responsibility in case the gold is lost for reasons beyond their control and the custodians do not assume any responsibility for the loss of gold stored by sub-custodians and of course the ETF does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for the loss of gold stored by the custodian and/or its subcustodians. So the stage is perfectly set for the gold to “evaporate” once the circumstances are ripe and u will have zero chance to hold the ETF (or even the main custodian) accountable for the loss.

Nice overview! Wouldn't theft also count as a form of 3rd party risk? It is a bit lower risk, in my opinion, as much more wealth can be stolen through phishing or hacking. Personally, I mix physical and ETF and assign specific jobs to each. The physical part is for wealth insurance purposes (hedge against devaluing pension benefits) and long term wealth transportation into the future. The ETF-part is for ease of rebalancing the portfolio and being able to profit from, often very short lived, extreme price spikes.

So I say if you are going to put 100,000 in investing, go for it, get a company, but if you are trying to invest less than 10,000 then I say don't tell anybody and keep it in a safe 😉 or you can also put it in a box at the bank.

[@alexperoff-investingessent8367]

I agree with your last point, if you invest in a stock, index fund, or ETF you're going through a 3rd party. So there is always some level of risk. I think we put some special value on things that are tangible, like being able to hold a gold coin vs an ETF which basically exists digitally. I'm guilty of this myself, I think dividend paying stocks are wonderful because the dividend is physical cash and it's easy to understand where it came from. However, that might not always be the best option for maximizing your money. It can be difficult to remove ourselves from the physical bias we have on these things. Either way, great video Nathan, you really have been doing a lot of research. Like-20!

Great presentation Nathan! Nothing like holding physical gold in your hands, but like you mention, ETF is a more efficient way to hold gold value but with limited 3rd party risk. I personally trade a couple gold ETF's but if I want longer term gold exposure, I prefer doing it through Barrick Gold (GOLD) even though correlation to gold prices is about .60, I get paid a small dividend holding Barrick. But that is just a personal preference, I think holding physical gold and a gold ETF can be great ways to diversify into metals. Nice job with the video. Cheers!
