How much gold should I own? The amount I am comfortable with. I would like to get gold up to 5% of my
portfolio, buying and selling as it increased or decreased from 5%. The cost of owning gold is "opportunity cost" if you intend on holding long term, where you could have made alternative investments that offer yield and or capital gains. My expectations are that gold will keep up with inflation and maintain its buying power, and that it is insurance in the event of a monetary "black swan". I hold some gold long term as a form of monetary insurance, but I get to keep the premium:-). In Canada, if you own physical gold as I do, have either a floor or wall vault, reason being is that if you hold in a bank safety deposit box, and the bank goes down, you lose safety deposit box contents to the bank and become a creditor.
