I would recommend physical gold rather than paper gold. 1 oz American Eagles if you can get them; Krugerrands as a second choice. I believe there is about a 4 week wait for Krugerrands. Yes the demand is that high!
If you go that route, get a good high quality gun safe for your guns and gold. The rest is up to God and Guts. :-)
Where do you buy the krugerrands and how do you know you are not overpaying?
