100% physical here. To each his own, but I don't really get the "I'm 100% ETF because that's more convenient". You are not supposed to ever sell your whole gold portion (except in armaggedon scenarios). So you can hold a stable foundation (say, 1/3rd of it you will probably never, ever sell) as physical gold and keep the potentially-rebalanced 2/3 in ETFs.


Here is a good opposite argument for only physical and NO paper!

Depends upon how much you're drawing, or not.

Accumulators (0% SWR) 22% physical (unlikely to be traded), 3% fund/ETF i.e. yearly granularity lowest low historic since 1930's was 88%.

2% SWR 16% physical
3% SWR 8% physical
