Other Ways To Invest In Precious Metals
Some people are looking for ways to invest in precious metals as a way to store wealth but don’t want to deal with actually owning physical gold or silver. This is not financial advice and we definitely recommend you do your own research, but some of the top gold and silver ETF’s would be:
Again this is not financial advice, just pointing out some of your options. GLD and IAU are both gold ETF’s that do their best to mimic the price of gold.
GDX and GDXJ are ways to invest in gold miners, while SLV is the silver ETF with the most dollars backing it. The good news about gold and silver ETF’s is that you just buy them in your brokerage account and don’t have to worry about physically holding on to them and keeping them safe.
The trade-off is that you don’t really own the precious metals and if the financial system collapses there is no way to know what you will be left with. The last thing we want to mention is PAXG which is a crypto currency that is backed by physical gold.
Like the ETF’s it mimics the gold price, but it isn’t tied to the financial systems so in theory if everything collapses you should still get your value. Do your own research, don’t just trust our little blog on such an important decision.
Storing Gold In Safety Deposit Boxes In Your Area
Many people search for safety deposit boxes in Istanbul to store gold, silver, and precious jewelry but to be honest we don’t really feel comfortable telling you where to do that. The last thing we want to do is to point you to a place that may not be reliable as we know just how important this is.
Ask your bank or the most reliable bank in town if they have safety deposit boxes, and if they don’t then ask if they can recommend any and then do further research on the place. Don’t rush into it, make sure everything is legit before you hand over your fortune.
