Thanks for your reply, but the 'timing' question would appear to have been answered already. Is it today (Wed), I ask myself, because Gold seems to have plummeted, and yet the fundamentals around the world are only getting worse.

As for my original question, I do worry about the place to buy physical gold and take delivery simultaneously because, in places like Switzerland, which is the 'origin' of such things as 1Kg bars, you have to pay VAT of 8.5%, which is a hefty premium.

Perhaps TJ knows whether HK is the right place to do this, as there are no VAT or sales tax impositions in that last bastion of true capitalism (and in his words, freedom too).
