Physical vs. Paper

10 Reasons Why Buy Physical Gold & Silver

"If you do not hold it, you do not own it."

#1. Physical Gold & Silver are the real deal

You know your gold and silver is real when it's in your hand - that's as real as it gets. It's an honorable, timeless asset, and you have full ownership of the metal. When you buy a paper representation, you don't own the actual metal. Ask yourself: how do you know there's any gold or silver actually backing the offering company?

#2. Physical Gold & Silver are transferable

You can transfer physical gold & silver any way you like: pass it down as heritage, use it as collateral when needed, or sell it at your asking price. Paper gold and silver is tied to a virtual "account" - you're limited to transacting buy and sell with the offering company alone.

#3. Physical Gold & Silver give you full ownership

Buying physical gold & silver means full ownership of the asset. With a paper representative, the offering company owns the gold and silver (if any) - and your money too. The only entity profiting is the offering company, not you.

#4. Physical Gold & Silver aren't "one price fits all"

Owning real gold and silver lets you bargain for the best possible price, or walk to an alternative buyer with better terms. With paper representation, your selling price is fully dependent on the offering company - often with a clause letting them change the buy/sell price without prior notice.

#5. Physical Gold & Silver are tradable 24/7

Own the physical asset and you can trade with anyone, anywhere, any time - weekends and public holidays included. Paper representation limits you to specific office or banking hours, often requiring your physical presence at their counter.

#6. Physical Gold & Silver cost more because they require real work

Real metal costs more than paper because it requires mining, extraction, transportation, testing, security and storage - real jobs, real livelihoods. Paper only requires an administrative officer to key in a book entry.

#7. Physical Gold & Silver aren't tied to any financial system

Because it's real and not digital, it's dislocated from the financial system's worries. If the offering company collapses, your paper "gold" and "silver" go down with it.

#8. Physical Gold & Silver have been borderless for 4,000 years

Gold and silver are recognized everywhere - developed nations and developing markets alike buy real physical metal without hesitation. Paper representation locks your investment to your country of purchase and the offering company alone.

#9. Paper Gold & Silver are not protected under Bank Negara

Unknown to many, paper representations of gold and silver offered by banks are not backed by Bank Negara.

#10. Physical Gold & Silver are in real shortage

Exponential demand has put real gold and silver in real shortage - the world needs silver for solar panels, LCDs, smartphones, hybrid batteries, antibacterial surgical tools and more. Resources are limited. Paper representation contributes nothing to any usable product, and is unlimited in supply.
