Well, it is hard to find a safe place to invest in the stock market right now. Of course, the silver and gold bulls are hanging in their with smug grins on their faces. See, gold is a commodity. And no, they are not the best performing commodity over the last several months. However, precious metals are also sticking in the middle of the pack.
The thing about precious metals as a commodity is that they are easy to take delivery of. You cannot take delivery of corn, wheat or oil, but you can take delivery of gold and silver! This means you are not speculating on something you cannot hold. This is one appeal of gold and silver investments.
Speculators who do not take delivery may be coming under increased scrutiny, but you don’t need ot worry about that. Do you?

Indeed, that is one of the biggest differences between investing in gold and silver ETFs/futures or in bullion itself.
My strategy:
Invest in The Perth Mint Certificate Programme in unallocated storage (no delivery, no storage costs) and if things get frantic then get my holding fabricated and sent to me (or trusted storage)
