[quote=scaredycat]if you buy some physical gold and hold it in your hand, and compare that to what’s it like to hold the equivalent in GLD shares, I guarantee you you will notice a difference. GUARANTEE IT! you will feel better holding the gold coin. you will feel kind of dizzy with glee stacking some of them. get some insurance, it’s a better bet than GLD. the other thing is, you WILL hang on to your coins. you will sell GLD witha mouseclick. Just TRY the gold coin thing. it’s different. it’s like the difference between reading a travel guide and going to paris. kinda…[/quote]
I’m with you, Scat. Holding those coins in your hand DOES feel different. It has an almost magical effect. There is truly something special about gold. Once you touch it, you know instantly why it has captivated kings and emperors the world over since the beginning of time.
