CA: Hidden Costs Make Physical Gold, Silver Investments Less Attractive

CA: Hidden Costs Make Physical Gold, Silver Investments Less Attractive

Think of buying gold – it seems safe, right?

But a financial expert, Nitin Kaushik, says there are hidden fees that eat into your money.

Buying physical gold means you pay extra upfront, and get less when you sell, called the "spread."

You also have to pay for secure storage, which adds up.

Plus, the gold might not be as pure as you think.

Digital gold, like ETFs, avoids these issues.

They have lower fees, are stored securely, and guarantee purity, making them a better choice for most investors, according to Kaushik.
