Q: I am going to add to my gold holdings which currently consists of only the Canadian etf XGD. I would like to have exposure to physical gold as well and am trying to decide between ZGLD:CA, PHYS:CA or PHYS:US (or any other suggestions you may have). Comments please.
Q: My question is about the Norbert Gambit.
If an ETF trades in both Canada and the US, does that automatically mean that you can transfer the ETF between your Canadian and US accounts (eg. PHYS)? Is there a way to tell which ETFs trade on both a US and Cdn exchange, and which ones can be transferred from a US to Cdn account, or vice versa?
Thank you for this excellent service.

Q: Hello
Can PHYS, GLCC, GDXY and XGD be held in TFSA/RRSP accounts?

Q: Hello, I never thought I would contemplate buying gold because I find difficult to figure out where it is headed in the future, but here I am. Gold has been going up a lot in the past year and I am wondering, what do you think would be the economic or political circumstances or scenarios under which gold would lose value in a substantial manner, say, 20%, by the end of 2025? Thanks
Q: Good day
At what price point would you say Alphabet, Oracle and PHYS.CA are screaming buys. If it is easier you can use the price of gold in US instead of PHYS. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hi,
1) Is there an advantage to holding PHYS:CA vs. PHYS:US? How do they stack up with currency fluctuations?
2) Is there any risk with PHYS:US trading on a US exchange if the US goes crazy about Canadians investing in the US? Would it be better to hold PHYS:CA?
Thanks for the help. Michael

Q: In your answer to a previous question you suggested Gold was a good place to protect from inflation and the general crazy going on with Trump and Tariffs.
Can you suggest an ETF. I really don’t want to hold producers

Q: I have a question about investing in physical gold. Can you please explain the differences between the MNT and PHYS? I noticed that MNT outperforms PHYS and it trades at a premium to NAV while PHYS trades at discount. The expense rates 0.35% vs. 0.41% seems to be close enough to justify the differences in performance and discount..?
