ZGLD vs GLD? Less risk?
Saw this today:
hable.ca
See page 5.

The point he makes is that during 9-11 with the markets being closed in the U.S., you couldn't get to your "stuff", but the Swiss markets were still open.
Soooooo....I'm wondering just how paranoid of "the end of days" should one be?

I've considered buying physical gold/silver, but what a pain (safe storage)...and some sites say if the world goes to hell (Mid East..nukes..WW3)...the government may monitor any withdrawals from deposit boxes...and take your "stuff".
Sooo....do you just buy a safe and keep your "stuff" at home?

I've also considered sites that offer holding physical gold/silver in my name for me, so I supposedly own physical without any safe storage concerns....but given "ownership" is just data on a computer...that doesn't seem very safe in a global crisis.

And finally...even if WW3(or any serious major crisis) comes and I have gold/silver in hand, I really doubt the local Kroger (or any other store) will accept it (IF they are even open).

After reading so many articles that tell me everything in the world is someplace from "Relax, no big deal, it will pass, it is NOT different this time" to "OMG!...run and hide!!..It's the end of society!"
....I'm just wondering about what the take is of others here.
Do you assume the global physical(ME)/financial(nations dumping dollars/energy wars) conflicts are all posturing...and the big boyz will never let it all collapse?
....or something much worse?

Regards,
Chuckles.
