GLD and SLV are someday going to be the subject of some major scandal. they don’t hold actual metals. you can read about the risks on the internet. you’re better off with CEF. Actual audited metals in a vault….i hate GLD …
of course, anyone who advises another to buy gold is probably nuts. please don’t take any investment advice from me. I think buying a house is the dumbest possible move in the unvierse, but I feel almost compelled to do it right now. it’s the same momentum that happened when I got married and had kids. I was helpless to stop it all.
