Should you hold your own gold? - FideliTrade's Jon Potts on precious metals and balancing risk
Buyers of physical gold should understand their motivation for holding precious metals, said Jon Potts, managing director at FideliTrade.
This week Potts recorded an episode of Green Rush with Matt Watson, founder of Precious Metals Commodity Management.
FideliTrade is a precious metals firm and authorized mint distributor. The company provides trading, custody, shipping and investment services.
Watson and Potts discussed motivations for owning precious metals, preferred bullion denominations and the distinction between physical bullion and ETFs. They also explored central bank buying trends, the performance of gold and silver in 2024, and the growing industrial demand for silver.
Some investors want to have their gold at hand, while others don't want to worry about the security risks that arises from holding the metal.
"There's not a right or wrong answer," said Potts. "They just view risk very differently. And that kind of plays into it: what is the motivation for owning it? And what is the motivation for storing it or taking delivery of it?"
