If you are watching this video you are likely sold on the idea of owning gold, especially in today’s economic environment. The question then becomes…how do you invest? Do you buy physical gold or is a gold ETF the better option?
When it comes to precious metals, there are generally 2 sides. One group of people will only ever buy physical gold. They believe “If you can’t hold it, you don’t own it”. The other group will happily invest in a gold ETF. Are they just risky people, uneducated or do they know something we don’t? Find out!

Now is the right time. If you really want to grow your money and attain financial independence. Start investing, that's the best way to accumulate wealth. Spent my 30s and 40s investing in stock and several multifamily real estates. That’s the best I did for myself as it has consistently beaten my expectations of a return. Lately, discovered ¢rypto, and life feels better.
It makes no sense to buy physical gold and have someone else store it. The reason you buy physical gold is to have it on you in case of an emergency or a monetary collapse.
If you buy above the minimum for most dealers then shipping and delivery is free, and storage is free, so the only costs you should be contending with are the buy premium and the sell price. You should always be getting at least spot price when you sell, and possibly more depending on the form of gold. If they offer less, then walk away, they're double dipping hoping your desperate to sell.
Which means that what really matters is getting the best buy price you can at the lowest premium.
PS If you're going to pay someone to "store" your gold, just buy the etf instead and stop losing value. The ONLY reason to ever store gold would be because it's part of a retirement account and you're not allowed to receive it until it matures.
you didn't really go into the differences where the ETF is a Physical Gold backed ETF versus when not, and/or different %s of gold cover
I still dont trust the 3rd party. Nice video
When I look at articles of past performance of gold, when interest rates begin to rise gold begins to drop and that includes ETF's. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Investing and diversifying your portfolio with precious metals,real estate, stocks, crypto currency and forex trading is the wisest thing to do and really profitable.
Thank you. So it is better to hold a fake gold bar and buy some good gold ETF
i personally buy at GLD ( GOLD ETF) coz i just bought less than 10$.
This is a very dishonest comparison. Many elements of the ETF that you're not disclosing here…
A brilliant video and presentation
What are the return comparisons?
What about silver?

If you want protection from the system, physical.
GLD or BAR?
And some said aaau and pall can exchange physical
We are all becoming more reliant on online proof of ownership. Loss of internet, electricity in a major ongoing emergency would mean loss of access to your ETC (Exchange Traded Commodity as they are now known). Whereas actual physical gold you have with you.
The question is: why you're buying gold? Are you doing this because you want to preserve value of your money in case of some recesion? Or you believe that there will be some kind of zombie apocalypse, all financial institutions will be gone, and people will be fighting for food or other basic commodities?
Hi Nathan, what do you think about something like dollar-cost-averaging strategy for gold on monthly/quarterly basis?
The only nightmare I can think of by investing digital gold is when the company disappear all of a sudden.
Great video!!!!
Thank you so much
You mentioned that GLD charges 0.4% ANUALLY. So if you are planning to keep it for 10+ years, it will end up costing you more than the premium you are paying physical gold. I don't think your comparison was fair.
If the market crashes, will the etf go down too? Physical gold will go up if the market goes down. Is that a plus?
Thank you!!
Increased insurance and security might also be additional costs if storing gold at home.
It was such a nice explanation. super easy to understand even for me with such nice artwork! thank you so much!
Depends on why you have the gold. Is it for future income? ETF. Is it an insurance policy? Physical.
Awesome video Nathan! My one remaining question is what happens to the value of a holding in a gold ETF if everyone starts panicking and selling off their holdings? Specifically if they start selling their gold ETF holdings? Does the value of your own holding dip because of these sell offs or does it just stay fixed to the commodity price of gold? Thanks in advance!
Love the breakdown mate! 🙂 would love to have physical gold at home, would look awesome on my desk haha! But I think it's such a valuable ETF to have actually 🙂 thanks for sharing!
Major short squeeze coming!
I've invested stocks and crypto and thinking gold also but I want physical, but as you said there is a big risk in here.

Great Video! I am a big fan of Gold Etfs because it is very liquid, and you don’t have to worry about storage. I made sure I smash the like button
