Any thoughts on Gold ETFs like GLD?
I have some doubts about them. However, I think Sprott Physical Bullion Trust is probably the best one since it's all physical gold (symbol: PHYS).

They have allocated storage in Canada and are open to inspections. Also, if you're an American there are tax advantages when you sell your shares. I have some of their physical gold and silver in a Health Savings Account where I can't own physical gold directly.
I have done well trading GDX during the QE rally.
