pug,

"If you want to take the risk of taking possession of physical, storing physical and then selling it when the time comes:..........."

if a store of physical is well hidden eg. buried and no one else knows about it, the risk is minimal, particularly if it was bought anonymously - imo the risk is about zero.

Compare that to the whole lot being in someone else's safe (supposedly.

As to selling ----------- easy, just don't take a huge amount at any one time. Find a couple of dealers you trust over at least a medium period -- trial it, keep your mouth shut and again ------ very low risk.

What are the other options?

Having it deposited with someone?

Well, we have the runs on the board with that already eh? If they go broke - your assets are counted in with theirs.

If you cash out successfully - the Europeans have shown the way ----------- confiscation of your cash.

Now, come on, which carries the more risk?

have a great arvo
