Gold

I have 3.5 troy ounces here with a 155% gain since 2009 (my grandpa bought it at the time and left it to me).

I'm now considering whether I should continue to add to it and am thinking about whether I should buy it physically or as an ETF.

Before questions come up about ETFs or shares and why I'm not investing in them: I also have shares and ETFs but they run monthly with a savings plan anyway. I don't stress about adding to them.

Back to the question:

Would you buy gold physically? If so, where?

digitally as an ETF? If so, which one?

Thanks for the input

Wisdom Tree Gold ETC, because tax-free after one year

I think it's very smart

It would be important to me that it is not "paper gold", but real physical gold. But I also love digital simplicity, which is why I save at $EWG2. The gold is also physically deposited there and if you feel like it at some point, you can have the "real" gold sent to you. And since it's real gold, the profit is tax-free after one year of holding.

@femkelbn okay, as I said, I have 3.5 troy ounces at home in the safe and I'm just unsure whether I won't lose this security if I buy it digitally

@Christianxys If you were to buy any ETC that only speculates on the price - then yes. Not at $EWG2, where the gold is also stored in a vault, but not in your private home, but professionally in a bank (which is much safer than in your home because it is also insured). ☺️

$WGLD or $EWG2 are tax-free after one year

I only have physical gold. It gives you a secure feeling. I have about 2/3 gold 1/3 shares and crypto stuff and have done very well so far.

I have $EWG2. Physically, the margins (buying/selling) are too big for me.
Physically, I've only received a few grams in the form of jewelry and the occasional gift.
But everyone does what they want. But bear in mind that from a certain amount of coins or bars you should think about storage. (safe/bank vault etc....) that can also cost money!
