What about buying physical gold via freetrade ?

You mean a stockmarket listed security? But that would be trackable.

Is it the same thing as having a gold coin?
I want to be a modern version of the richest man in babylon

Have you thought about taking a trip to the end of a rainbow to load up?

Does cocaine go off? I do have about 70/80 or so bottles of wine in my home stocks and some more in bond at the Wine Society (Barolo and Bordeaux) but they're not exactly liquid investments..

Hehe. I genuinely thought you were going to say that you had several kilos stashed under the bed...

Surely they are literally liquid investments.

The trouble with liquid investments is they go down (to well). I know from my whisky collection.

Postage stamps.

Stamps marked "1st" or "2nd" (instead of a number of pence) were only introduced on 22 August 1989, when they were worth 19p and 14p respectively. They're now worth £1.70 and 87p.

I accidentally "invested" in stamps, just before a price rise, by wildly overestimating my future use of stamps. Must be one of my best performing "investments".
