Poll: Percentage of Your Gold in Your Possession

Post by Tortoise »

For the purposes of this poll, let's define "in your possession" as being stored in a place to which only you--and perhaps your spouse--have access, i.e., at home, in a safe deposit box, buried somewhere, etc.  Let's not count gold held on your behalf by a government or fund like Perth Mint, Kitco pool account, ETFs, etc.

Any more and I might worry about some unfortunate events taking it from me.  Any less and I wouldn't feel as secure in my PP.
