Thanks. So the investors on this forum who tracks the price of gold, they actually buy physical gold and store it themselves?

Should I forget about ETFs, gold stock etc if I want my investment return to track the real spot price?

What about the GOLD ETF on asx?

Are you storing gold in your house or paying for secure storage and how much does that cost? Is that a typical investment strategy for gold or is that an ultra-paranoid approach?

Just trying to understand all the options. Thanks a lot for the help :)
