Is it really a great idea to encourage those who can’t swing investing at a $1K minimum to buy gold that is stored for them by the government?
The only way to invest in gold, is to take physical possession. Owning a picture of a Ferrari, is not owning a Ferrari.
Physical gold is a hedge against fiat currency becoming worthless, like having a bomb shelter, you hope you don’t need it, but it sure is a good feeling to know you have it.
