Here in America, we have this big chain called Costco, and it's selling gold bars.
00:05
And so what do you think about consumers actually going to a retail outlet and buying gold bars?
00:11
Yeah, you know what, physical gold is one of the best ways to invest in gold because
00:15
the ETFs have another issue.
00:17
You could be long the GLD, for instance, or another ETF that's not backed by physical
00:21
gold.
00:22
And there could be a situation like we saw back in 2008, you get a systemic crisis, these
00:26
ETFs fall, even the gold price goes up.
00:29
So imagine you're sitting there on an ETF and you're like, wait, I'm not making money.
00:33
Physical always holds value.
00:34
So retail investors, you can trade the ETFs, but make sure you have some physical stored
00:38
in the vault somewhere.
00:39
But it's hard to unload a gold bar.
00:40
Yeah, that's true.
00:41
It's a very good point.
00:42
But you know, back in the day, people store them in the mattress or whatever have you.
00:45
But that's why Costco's bars are selling up because there's a bit of a premium even on
00:48
silver as well.
00:49
So I can't say you put 100% of your wealth in that because it's hard to do that.
00:53
But get exposure to ETFs, but also keep some gold bars around.
00:57
So for you, actually going to Costco is not a laughing matter.
00:59
It's a real deal.
01:00
It's not a laughing matter.
01:01
It's real.
01:02
We own physical gold.
01:03
And in London, we do as well.
01:04
There's a bit of a premium on that.
01:05
But that never loses value to what gold price is.
01:07
The ETFs can disconnect because there is a trade between the financial and the swaps,
01:11
right?
01:12
And most people don't realize the risk.
01:13
And at the end of the day, you are taking a risk.
01:15
If the counterparty gets defaulted, sure, you can lose out.
01:18
I mean, that's a very small chance, right?
01:20
But there is an inherent risk to think about.
01:21
So physical is always the best way to trade.
01:27
Yeah.
01:28
Yeah.
01:29
Yeah.
01:30
Yeah.
01:31
Yeah.
