금·은 실물 말고 보유하려면 뭐가 제일 안전할까요? 💰

If you don't want to deal with physical storage, ETFs are usually the cleanest option and the most liquid.

For gold, GLD and IAU are the two most common. They're backed by physical gold and track spot price pretty closely. IAU has a slightly lower expense ratio, GLD has higher liquidity - both are widely used.

For silver, SLV is the most popular, and SIVR is a lower-fee alternative.

If you want some leverage to metals without holding the metal itself, you can also look at miners (GDX for gold miners, SIL for silver miners), but those behave more like stocks and add company risk.

Physical is still the "no counterparty risk" option, but for most people ETFs are the easiest and safest way to get exposure without the storage, insurance, or resale hassle

PHYS and PSLV

It would be too difficult for me to procure and store physical gold and silver, so I went with a couple of ETFs that backed by actual bullion. SLV and GLD have the most liquidity but there are some ETFs that have a lower expense ratios. I also carry some platinum and have stock in a company that does mostly precious metal royalties instead of handling the actual metal. Just on a hunch I started buying PM's earlier last year because I figured that the US dollar was going to be encountering some volatility because of tariffs and other nonsense out of DC.

If you find a way to hold psychically, please make a how to, silver is heavy.

On the physical side, understand your hedge may be impossible to offload when you need it due to market concerns. With the recent price action, I’m trying to offload some junk silver to save space and it’s not a simple as dumping it on the coin shop down the street.

Some places are paying 20% back of spot (cheaper than spot). Some places have a $2k/day limit. Some places aren’t even taking alloyed silver. Every place has a 2+ hour wait.

If liquidity is important to you, physical ain’t it.

If its tied to the Comex you're just holding a paper derivative. That could be a problem is the paper market goes south. Even assigned papers wont mean much if the Comex forces everyone to settle in cash at their predetermined paper price.

The best bet is hold physical. Put it in a safe. Insure it. Then forget about it.

I do SGGDX and I’m up over 100 percent in a year
