  • Summary

  • This podcast episode will explore the differences between physical gold and paper gold, and the risks associated with investing in paper gold. Paper gold refers to investments that give investors exposure to gold without requiring them to purchase the physical asset, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, and futures contracts. The problem with paper gold is that there is far more of it in existence than physical gold to back it. The sources estimate that paper gold trading volume in 2011 was 10 times the total amount of physical gold mined in history. This creates a risk that, during a financial crisis, the demand for physical gold could outstrip supply, leading to a collapse in the paper gold market. Some investors are choosing to buy physical gold to mitigate this risk, but this comes with its own set of challenges, such as storage and security. The podcast will discuss strategies for investing in both physical and paper gold and how investors can protect themselves from the risks of a paper gold crisis.
