I guess the question to ask yourself is what good is having a gold brick if you can't sell it? The gold ETF may be riskier if you're ultra conservative but at least you can liquidate it in a matter of minutes.

Say you needed cash straight up where would you go to sell your gold brick?
i'm going on the premise that if i need my gold or silver it's because fiat currency is worthless. so i buy 1oz coins mostly, with some larger bullion bars for longer term.
