Thanks for your view on all this.
Firstly I don't know enough about ETFs to comment and I don't have physical gold but I do hold shares in gold and silver companies as this is where I expect to get my greatest leverage if my view on precious metals is right. An example of this is I bought RMS options average price 4.7c and sold at or above $1.90 in less than 1 year. This by far exceeds any growth in gold over the same period but also it was a far riskier trade.
What concerns me about people that don't take physical delivery of there gold is that it is only as safe as the company that is holding it for you.
Whets to say these companies wont go broke through bad management or corruption or as we have seen with the banks and other financial institutions which imposed restrictions on withdrawing ones own money.
So in short IMO if you don't take possession of your gold you do not have total control over it.
As far as buying and selling gold you can do it through Ainslie in QLD. It can be couriered and insured and I am under the impression you can easily sell back to them as well. You can even buy and sell it on Ebay which is also insured (I believe). As far as storage goes I havnt looked into it but there would be options eg your bank vault maybe.
Also it was not my intention to give advice although I see that's how it may have come across it was more about making people aware of the risks out there in today's crazy world.
As always I can be corrected on anything I have said.
Cheers all
