best place to have paper gold invested now

Post by DONALD » Tue Nov 13, 2018 10:00 pm

I have 1/2 invested in K RANDS and other half in PHYS. Where is a better choice if there is one other than PHYS. Thanks

Considering PHYS currently has a discount, not a bad choice. But I used to own CEF, and wasn't really crazy that there wasn't any rhyme or reason to the discount/premium. I like something that tracks directly.

In my older trading days I actually did a few round trips on CEF, bought at a discount, sold at a premium, but that was just luck.

That reminds me of gold ETF trading strategy we used to talk about: buy gold ETFs at discounts, then sell when they show a premium. Trade between ETFs as needed. I'm too busy/lazy to do this, but it's kind of a fun hobby if anyone wants to give it a shot. Would be nice to report premium/discount levels here to help out the rest of us too.

Of course, I now realize this only works if there are significant differences in premium/discount to NAV between funds.
