Smurfit Westrock?Paper would be easy but I dont know which funds or companies to purchase directly.
I would say it's difficult for example to invest in oil or uranium and keep it in your home, but with gold you absolutely can, many do, and I keep a couple of ounces myself in my house.it is not something you can keep in your home.
I also decided not to charge myself any fee for storing it in my house, so it's free.Physical gold and silver is expensive to store
And comparatively silver is not that easy to store at home, it is much larger and heavier for the same value in € as gold.but with gold you absolutely can, many do, and I keep a couple of ounces myself in my house.
But easier to sell 100 quids worth. It being larger and heavier also makes it more difficult to steal unless you have a vehicle.And comparatively silver is not that easy to store at home, it is much larger and heavier for the same value in € as gold.
Physical Gold - re above is there any difference in value between say a 1oz American Eagle or Gold Britania? Is it down to the purity or other value of each type? I notice an Irish mint - Tara Coins - but would a coin like this be perceived less valuable than an AE or GB? Even if they all claim to be top purity etc?Coins or pieces of gold, silver or other previous metals and stones are probably easier to transport, or trade (person to person), but often come at a small cost. You also need somewhere safe to keep them. American Eagles, British Gold Britanias, Canadian Maple Leaf, South African Kruger are some of the better known coins, but watch out for the true gold content, and potential forgeries (if buying privately etc).
Paper / Electronic Certs are very convenient, really bought online, and usually give comfort that your investment is securely held (at The Perth Mint, for example).. while they can be bought and sold quickly, that relies on electronic trading being available, the location, where your assets are held, remaining safe etc.
