Gold plays a key role in portfolio diversification, however, buying physical gold involves significant challenges such as storage, security, and commissions, which has led many investors to opt for gold-backed ETFs like GLD, offering convenience, liquidity, and lower costs. Plus, the decision of whether to hold investments like Bitcoin in a taxable account or an IRA depends on tax and risk factors making the choice more complex.
