Supposedly the futures contracts on gold are for real gold, but who would be surprised if they were for fictitious gold.

Call me a skeptic, but if I did own gold I would like to have the genuine article in a safe place. And that is the problem...where would that be!

That’s one of the questions answered in the course this Freeper created.

The answer is different for everyone, and for any individual, there may be multiple answers.

First, consider diversification, don’t put all your Krugerrands in one basket.

Home security safes, back-yard (or public land) buried stashes, allocated private storage, bank safe deposit boxes, and hidden household spots each have their benefits and risks.

My general thinking is that you’re better off burying your gold under a potted plant in your family room than under a tree in a national forest. My course has a bunch of other suggestions.
