Physical vs ETF vs Stocks
Ultimately depends on the amount of risk you are willing to take and what you aim to achieve with your investment.

Physical has no counter party risk, and is the ultimate store of value though price rise is relatively slow ..

ETF not bad for short term trading, but its collapse is inevitable as it is because of the paper assets that will eventually send physical gold into the stratosphere. If you understand the reasons as to why gold will spike, you would steer clear of ETFs as a long term investment

Stocks, high risk, potential high reward but no stock will escape a GFC2.
