Physical Gold vs. Gold Mining Shares

• The difference is Risk. Gold Mining Shares will come with higher risk compared to investments in physical gold

• Gold mining share is not gold. It’s a company stock first and then secondly can be construed as Gold

• A Gold Mining Share is NOT a substitute for physical Gold. It represents a benefit in the future from potential Gold deposits in the ground and not the actual Gold itself

• Physical Gold ownership has protected investors during periods of economic depression, wars and political unrest. Mining stocks could be negatively affected in such times as stock markets may be closed or adversely affected for a period of time
