Is buying gold really worth it? In the short term, when considering taxes, upfront costs, and the potential challenge of resale for liquidity, I'm wondering if physical gold or gold stocks offer a better return. Often, discussions around gold investments aren't clear if they're focused on a short-term or long-term perspective. I'd appreciate any insights-thanks in advance!

[@HotManP-l5g]

While gold is widely considered a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty, it's important to remember that, like any investment, it comes with risks. Consulting with an investment advisor can help you better understand the pros and cons of gold investments and whether it's a suitable choice for your financial goals. An advisor can assist in developing a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader strategy. They can guide you on how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and recommend complementary investments to balance your holdings.

[@FrankJaaay]

Gold is more suitable as a long-term investment. In the short term, the market can be volatile, and short-term gold investments may result in a loss due to market fluctuations and additional costs. Keep in mind that some industry professionals may have a bias towards gold based on their business interests, so it's essential to stay objective.

[@Toni__Michelle]

I appreciate your insights, and I'm starting to see how valuable a professional advisor's guidance could be, especially since my portfolio hasn't shown much growth lately. Could you share the name of the advisor you work with?

Great topic. I've received some criticism as well for mentioning that I keep most of my gold off site. Several locations spread out. I've been doing it for years. No need to put your primary residence if you don't have to and if you have friends and family that have the ability and security to store it. Take advantage of it. One is nearby where I can pick some up if I need to show in a video. Always good to have some security system too.

[@veritasfiles]

There are so many ways to secure and hide precious metals that it almost doesn't matter. Granted, if you're keeping your stack nicely displayed on your coffee table, you've got a problem. So long as you're not talking about it, precious metals just aren't that hard to hide. I do think it makes sense to spread it out both in your home and in multiple locations, if we're talking about more than 100 ounces of Gold, or if you've got a Silver stack of 1,000 ounces or more. Most people just aren't there though. Unless or until a person reaches that level, common sense can usually keep you safe enough. All of that changes if you live in a high-crime area, inside a big city, etc... But for the most part, when people break into your home, they are looking for electronics, jewelry, and drugs. They aren't going to rummage through every area of your home looking for an obscure collection of metal. If they somehow know that you have a coin collection, then you just do what I do. You keep your stack of 40%, your War Nickels, a tube or two of Ike dollars, some fake Gold coins, etc... and just have them in an obvious place where people might see them if they were really looking. 9 times out of 10 if they do look for more than the electronics, jewelry and drugs, they're gonna find what they think is your coin collection and bolt. I even keep some old foreign coins that are Gold in color (aluminum-bronze), which are in coin flips and marked "Gold". Unless the thieves are coin experts, they aren't going to know that they aren't getting the real thing.

[@thegodnasr]

Can you help me find capsules that fit 5oz Silver Mint Buffalo Bars? The Air Tite brand didn’t fit. Thanks!

[@dalepres1]

There's a huge difference between storing 50 ounces and in not storing 100K in cash. The assumption I make is that if the cash is good then the banks are working. When one system is broken, it is possible they are both broken so there's never a need to store a hundred thousand in cash at home. I may not be able to get to it in the hour I choose but I can get it in a few hours. In fact, the chances of me ever needing 100K cash at home are very slim. Perhaps 10K for a weekend emergency that requires me to pay unexpected expenses but, in reality, just a few thousand in cash makes the most sense. For any more than that, I'd use a credit card or get more cash from the bank, or both. Gold or other metals, on the other hand, are not hugely valuable to me today, I can't buy a thing with them at the local Piggly Wiggly, so I don't actually need them at home at all but when that 100K in cash becomes worthless, or when those banks are no longer going to open at all, I really need the metals but I can't get them from the banks. And when I need gold and silver, I'm going to likely need all of it or need it in small amounts but over a long period of time - such as forever. So when considering disaster preparedness, comparisons based on dollar amounts neither ask nor answer the appropriate question. They're totally different scenarios. On the other hand, if you're younger, and your metals are more for investment and wealth accumulation, then your plan might be to sell your metals for profit in the future, better to have your metals in a vault so you have them when it's time to sell them.

[@myjunkmail007]

The scenario you described is exactly what brought me to this video. Now I'm trying to determine how much is a good amount and how comfortable I would be storing/hiding in my home. I'm no expert but seems like silver would be the best to have in a shtf situation. I can't imagine bartering or buying anything worth an ounce of gold. Especially if I'm potentially not getting any change back.

Those are good ideas. The only thing I will say is that I have personally found that safety deposit boxes tend to be really bad for a few reasons. In some banks their policy actively states that you're not allowed to hold gold, silver or in some cases anything of value in them. Other banks won't allow you to purchase specie insurance. In short all the ones that I have looked into (the banks around where I have lived) have some major issue that rules them out. Thanks as always, sir!

Hello there! I thought about your question for a while... Would I be comfortable keeping 100K cash in the house? Probably not, but what would worry me even more would be to keep it somewhere I can't supervise it, so I would like to keep it close to me. Yes, it would be ideal to have multiple locations, but most of us own only one home. I could ask family out of state to keep it for me, but money (gold) does something to people and that something is seldom good. (Ask Gollum).

Have any of you considered a Pappion wallet? It seems to have worked very well for Steve McQueen. I mean this way the gold is always with you.

[@dougEfresh124]

At what point do you get your precious metals insured? And how does that work?

[@2is1gold]

You can insure itemized bullion just like jewelry or anything else. Homeowners insurance or umbrella policies will typically cover it.

[@jellyg.8961]

After seeing how easy it has become for thieves to either open a safe box or to stole it completely (even if it's on a concrete wall) I honestly don't trust them anymore. The best advice given by people that work or have worked on something related to security is first don't hide or store everything in a single place and second store it on places that are either on plain view or places that are less obvious or unrelated to what you're storing.

[@2is1gold]

Good plan.

[@TonyL-gw4qx]

You mentioned insurance for your metals at home. Curious who do you use for insurance on your gold at home? Thanks

[@2is1gold]

I have a personal articles policy within my homeowners policy.

I'm brand new to gold--looking to purchase my first coin. Please forgive me as I ask a very rudimentary question: what are those little sleeves that your coins are in? Plastic? Where do you get them? Any downside to them? Thanks!

[@2is1gold]

They’re direct-fit Air-Tite brand capsules. They keep the coins safe from dings. No downside. Cheers!

[@silverstallion4634]

How much silver should I keep in one location?

[@2is1gold]

I think you'd get wildly different answers on that one.

[@charlesmontague15]

I am in my mid-50s and keep all my gold at home. I have never been robbed. I have four siblings, none of them have ever been robbed. My parents are in their 80s and their home has never been broken into. Out of my half dozen or so close friends, none have ever been robbed. Perhaps we are all just lucky, or perhaps people are lying to me, but none of my co-workers has ever been robbed, either. Robbery is not that common. Yes, it's good to be cautious (same reason I wear a seatbelt every day), which is why I have 3 safes hidden in my home. If a Hollywood gunpoint robbery scenario happens, I'm probably not gonna go Die Hard on the assailants in some dramatic shootout. I will, however, lead them to one of the thinly populated safes, give them what little I have there, and keep the knowledge of the two full safes tucked safely within my small but sturdy brain. Point of this all is that you're probably safe keeping your gold at home if you live in most parts of the US or Canada or Western Europe. People go a little nutty with SHTF scenarios. My grandfather's generation was obsessed with such scenarios, and they (thankfully) never came to pass. My grandfather was born in 1902. Just FYI, Charles Montague is not my name.

[@DanCooper404]

And I am in fact a robot.

[@loksterization]

Have 2 safes at home -- one visible, to act as a decoy and maybe contain a few silver coins, and another hidden from plain sight, maybe under the carpet or behind a painting, containing gold.

[@noelio67]

Any ideas on those small little cameras, about the size of your baby finger, where you can view it on your mobile phone via an app?. I don't want the really visible cams outside my house....as i think it just attracts attention

[@boggle37]

any pointers to safes? I suspect one of your safes is a gun cabinet. I don't need anything big.

[@rickgeeprofitcoins6794]

Very important to split it up, no matter if you're a beginner, or a veteran. I'm in the process of doing a split myself actually. I'm in a pretty secure place, camera's, alarms, security, but what if that place fell into a sink hole!?

[@2is1gold]

Agreed!

[@ibberman]

Two safes are better than one. The decoy, easy to find safe, have a coin or two and some cash etc.

[@dylanplumley280]

What I don't get is why people buy gold, but gold they can't even physically touch. If you don't have it in your hands that is it really yours? Or is it implied? What would happen if their was a complete collapse of the dollar and market and economy? You think you would just get your gold sent to your door with a little bow on top? That is the biggest problem with tieing up most of your wealth in the stock market or bonds. You lose everything if the market and dollar falls. In general, someone should always have their money tied up in real, physical things that they can find at a moments notice. Say invest your money into a self sufficient homestead that has all the means to sustain itself in any economic or fianancial crisis, including independent water storage and fuel. Assets don't just make you money, they can give you the ability to operate independently. Not gonna lie, the best way to protect yourseslf and your weatlh is to get things in mass that your could barter or trade with people. If the dollar and economy falls apart, people will resort to bartering or trading things like gold or useful tools. Stock up on things you could trade or sell in a pinch.

[@stormforge68]

The phrase “loose lips sinks ships” is a saying I believe in. Secrecy is your first line of defence. The only other comment for you, 2is1, is maybe use a voice scrambler and change your voice to an electronic one. Your voice is quite distinctive, and potentially people might recognize you when you talk. Maybe perhaps changing your voice to a BSG Cylon electronic one? 🤔😝

[@2is1gold]

I have a vault I already use. It would be a sad day, but I could move most of my on-site metal to an allocated account that wasn’t immediately accessible if I got doxed.

[@stormforge68]

@@2is1gold I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on 3rd party private (ie non-bank) storage vaults. Maybe a future video on this topic?

[@shashankgolikeri132]

I fully understand, 2is1, you "typically having a 1/4-oz" on you. For many years I would have 4 sovereigns as a pocket piece(s). I stopped that this year. My new pocket piece, singular, is the quarter 2021 Britannia that I was lucky to get from a very special person. Great content, 2is1, as always. ❤🥇🥇👍👍

[@anxiousstacker7945]

Very nice. I still want to pick up some sovereigns but I every day carry a quarter oz Eagle. I love the Britannia’s though.

[@2is1gold]

That’s awesome, Shashank! I have a coin given to me by a family member that’s worth more than any other (for sentimental reasons only). I usually have that one close! 🤩

[@2is1gold]

@Donald Trump jr damn!

[@shashankgolikeri132]

@Donald Trump jr. I know that same experience. A quintuple sovereign, 1893, fell out of my pocket some years ago. Foolishly I carried it like pocket change. 40 grams total weight, AGW 36+ grams gone, never felt it missing till much later. The pocket piece was with me all through. That's always a small coin purse.

problem I have with in sight hiding areas is we have young kids and they of course snoop around. Better locked up in a safe or up high where they can't play with it.

What are your thoughts on stacking MapleGrams instead of silver for smaller denominations?

I stack them and it’s better then 1/10 oz in the long run and a lot cheaper then other fractional gold or 1 oz

Nice vid! Always enjoy looking at your pretty coins! Question: what’s your logic with the 20, 6&6? Numerology? 🤔

[@2is1gold]

Three, six and 12 are just based around the monthly calendar. Twenty is a tube. But also, 32 Troy ounces is nearly a kilogram.

[@TwoGrainsOfGold]

2 is 1 Ah!!! That makes sense. I was wondering what the logic of the 20 was there but the tube made since. I’m more of a “divide everything by 3” kinda gal, so the non-multiple of 3 was throwing me off. Thanks for explaining ☺️

[@andrewderksen3342]

I work for an alarm company And Most thieves don't want to spend alot of time in your house 🏘️ It's all about not being seen or detected 10-15min tops ... usually 🤷 And if you have an alarm 🚨 system Thrives won't even bother , unless they know you have alot 9f valuables that are worth the extra risk So keep that info to your self as much as possible ✅✅

That’s funny about the 1/4 ounce in your pocket but I also carry around an ounce in my pocket for some strange reason. Regarding safes, I do have a few hidden ones and a security system with cameras. For now, that seems to be good enough but will need to think of a third option soon. Do also have a bit of silver as well.
