Today is about a very beautiful thing and that is gold 🏅⚱️⚜️🏆🔱

I would be interested to know if you have gold as a hedge in your portfolio and what percentage of your total portfolio is gold ? 🤷🏽‍♂️❓

There are several ways to invest in gold:

- Coins/bars in physical form 🥇.

For gold coins, it makes sense to invest in coins that are well-known, such as Maple Leaf, Vienna Philharmonic, Krugerrand

- Gold stocks: ⛏

You can just as well invest in mining stocks that mine gold or profit from the gold price or mining.

- Gold ETCs 🏦

Here you buy shares in physical gold and, unlike physical coins/bars that you buy, do not have to worry about custody and are more liquid 👌🏽

Personally, I only have a few gold coins in physical form and will soon get one or two mining shares ⛏🏅

The physical coins make up only 1-2% of my portfolio, since I have gold only as a hedge in coin form and gold unlike stocks does not work for you 📈

Do you have gold in your portfolio ? ⚱️🏆🔱🏅🥇⚜️

I think 5 - 10% of the deposit value can be useful, I have a little bit too.

I had over 35 kilos of physical silver and that stuff is just super heavy to haul, expensive to store, hard to sell. I still have a silver ETF in my custody account in the negative which I immediately throw out in the green. I believe past price gains and dividends from precious metals investments far outweigh any potential speculative gain from metals. When I see investors in their early 20s, they often prefer to invest in cryptocurrencies rather than precious metals. To me, silver and gold are the stamp collections of the stock market. Investing is just unsexy. Just my opinion.

@Torro I don't see gold above shares in a real crisis such as hyperinflation. With any tangible asset such as precious metals, shares, real estate, you get monetary value through a crisis.

@Torro Gold correlates very strongly with the stock market. I once read something about almost 70%. Of course, this doesn't always have to be the case. Bonds have virtually no correlation with equities, but I would not recommend them in the current zero interest rate environment, except perhaps for rebalancing

@MCS_21 mhh well, the gold price still fell during the crises:
87 crash -> gold falls
Dotcom -> gold falls
Real estate crisis -> gold falls
Corona crash -> gold falls (but here only ~10%)
I don't know whether this is a sensible hedge for me as a private investor. I would prefer US bonds such as TYD or TMF, which rise ~80% in the Covidcrash.
Only after the real estate crisis in 2008 did gold briefly outperform the market.

I plan with a gold share of about 10% (in case of doubt rather less). And the gold share is divided into physical stock and ETCs to keep the balance between "hard currency" and flexibility. But I also see it similar to @ImmerNurBallern; if the case occurs that all currently accepted currencies "expire", then we have to think about more existential problems... You can't eat or drink gold then either.
