No way do they physically control the amount of gold that corresponds to what investors have put into those funds.

I see articles lauding the GLD ETF for always keeping almost 100% of the gold represented by the stock. Why do you doubt them?

Go buy GLD ETF
Just be careful because in a real crunch they can’t deliver. My opinion is that if a wave of redemptions (I want my money) hits them then they cannot deliver

But if you own gold directly with no intermediary you are in the best position. This means gold and silver buried in your back yard or in a safe deposit box .... you get the idea
