PHYS is a physical gold etf run by Sprott (who I trust). Is it also worth holding actual physical gold on premises? Seems like a hassle, and if I can convert PHYS to / from USD, is it worth it?

If we're in a wold where the exchanges are all down, or Canada seizes Sprott's gold, then I'm not sure that having physical gold is going to make my life significantly better.

Well, I didn't know the acronyms you'd mentioned.. I guess it depends on individual preference, but I don't know, I'd probably rather have some nice shiny metal by my side rather than not have it.. gives the future me a few more options..
