    The one you hear a lot is buying physical precious metals. But keeping that stuff at home is kinda risky and renting a vault isn’t free either.

      There are certificates that are fully backed by physical metals, so it is easy to trade them. I even have some (but going to sell soon).

        You want it at home. The real value in your of gold is when society collapses it still is a nice metal and so has value. Iron would work to but your house isn’t big enough for your life savings in iron.

        I don’t think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn’t a better investment.
