Hi,
How much gold (etf or other) do you tend to hold as a percentage of your overall portofolio?
Thanks

I got a Krugerrand as a present on the sale of a family business in the 70s.
I periodically worry about its location, but to date I've always been able to find it. We would probably be able to survive 5-6 weeks from its sale, though I have no intention of ever selling it.

I also don't see the appeal at all for a gold ETF - a digital claim on gold, its a bit like fractional reserve banking, open for manipulation and the gold you buy probably doesn't even exist

None. No intention to hold any in the foreseeable future either.
