<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1021831, member: 15199&quot;]It often seems to me that some get to the &quot;anarchy is around the corner&quot; or &quot;it&#039;s the top of the bubble and we are crashing&quot; extremes , whereas both are unlikely in my opinion at this point. Physical possession is the best for people who do not understand or trust the electronic financial marketplace. But one who does can use ETF&#039;s ability to be traded almost instantaneously, utilize the leverage that is built into ETFs ( although this also increases risk), be able to utilize options, from simple call or puts which can be very useful to the knowledgeable investor, to various combinations of options which can allow one to balance their risk/reward tolerance. Physical holders sometimes are not experience and do not realize that in a crisis, they will not be able to buy/sell as quickly as they expect. Knowledge is still more important than gold, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
