Sometimes I just don't understand what people are thinking, if they are thinking at all. The purpose of acquiring gold is to have something that's yours, is easy to keep safe, is easily identifiable, has a verifiable value, and can easily be traded or bartered. I'd think $5 gold bullion coins, current mint, are the best way to do that. I don't own any, it seems a little late to take that direction.
But why would anyone accept a piece of paper saying you have gold when the purpose of having gold is to have it?
Please, correct my thinking where I've gone astray.
I can’t correct your fhinking except to say that if you don’t have anything, average in to those 1/10 ozers at a reasonable pace for your finances.
