Tracking gold ets. You can cash them in for any currency. However gold coins you can hold in your hands. You should have both for a hedge.

Ifound a web-site. Go to goldbroker.com enter blanchard. You can buy gold or rare coins there. Usually rare coins increase more than just gold coins & bars. Only invest 5 or 10 % of your portfolio. Also you should buy some other currancy such as the euro or swiss franks etc.They say gold should go to 2000 an ounce.

i think when default risks rise you should get as close to your gold as possible.

hierarchy should be
a. hell in a hand basket=on your person 100 percent.
b.deposit box
d.gold money online account
e.allocated bullion from perth
mint OR others.
F. gld or others

now a fair conversation is a risk of default versus a safety from theft,fire,government confiscation and cost of storage argument. also many own 401ks restricted to mutual funds only. how do u get exposure to pm from those?

i think investing in allocations of various types of holdings in particular percentages provokes an interesting conversation. for instance. should i hold physical gold? how many months worth? should i have an allocation of silver for small daily purchases?
should i have coins versus bullion? will i incure tax liabilities if i hold paper?

i think all these are interesting questions, relevant questions and i invite debate.

Eric I have 2 important questions I'd like you to please answer:

1. being that paper gold is in backwardation, doesn't that mean that this rally in paper gold will be short lived?

2.What will be the difference with paper gold/silver crashing now VS the crash paper gold /silver had last fall? What I mean is what effect will paper gold/silver crashing now have on physical silver/gold.

I know last fall when the price of paper gold/silver dropped, the physical metals held high premiums. Although the physical metals price dropped some, it maintained record premiums for the metals. So is that what will happen now when the paper price of gold/silver crashes?

Is the paper price of gold/silver even important since it's the paper price and will crash, not reflecting the price of physical gold/silver which will be rising.

In summary it would be nice if you compared this rally in gold to the rally we had last March and explain the difference also taking in to consideration the backwardation and what it means for the physical gold.

Like for 1. why wasn't there backwardation before the gold price collapsed last fall? Why is this the first (or one of the few times in history I'm reading) that gold is in backwardation. I know what backwardation means but gold has taken dips before with out backwardation preceding it. Maybe those dips were because of govt. supression and backwardation doesn't take in to account govt. suppression since most investing in paper gold don't know of the govt. supression of it otherwise they wouldn't be investing in it. So maybe this backwardation is measured by the investores as this will be the first (or one of the few times) invesotrs tried to stay away from gold. Is this backwardation saying that the next dip in prices won't be because of govt. suppression but because investors/people will be staying away from paper gold? Maybe that's it, what do you think, Eric.

Now that I think about it I don't know much about gold backwardation, all I know is that it means the price of paper gold will drop and it will be due to people getting out and staying away from paper gold.

I think Eric is spot on (as usual.) It isn't a st...

I think Eric is spot on (as usual.) It isn't a stretch to beleive that the leverage exploited in bank lending has been exploited for unallocated certificates as well. Don't know the quantity but it is scary to think that there could be 10% more certs than actual gold. What if it is much more?

Have you donated to the blog? I feel like I have contributed to this site by submitting articles and commentary on other articles. I'm not sure there's even a link to donate... Plus there are plenty of adds on the website which I am sure compensate the writer. I have been researching the best ways to own gold myself and the only conclusion I have come to is to buy it, store it in your own house, and insure it. I have been looking for a safer ways. And an anonymous post is for cowards.
