Q: I see the suggestion of going to gold for safety in this market. Do your mean buying gold pieces at Costco or other means? I need some recommendations on how to enter the market and take the least amount of risk.
5i Research Answer:
Buying coins or bars is typically not the best route for gold exposure, as mark ups are high and taxes can apply. For simple gold bullion exposure we would suggest an ETF such as PHYS. For gold stock exposure, an ETF such as XGD.
