Thank you foofighter for this indication but this bad surprise served as a lesson to me and it seems to me much better to physically possess these metals, at least I will try to appropriate them according to the actuality. Mike's advice seems to me more judicious.
Oh heck!
Storing physical gold on other people's premises, like bank vaults or lockers should be a no-no.
When push comes to shove and banks or similar institutions shut down there would be no way of getting your stuff back. When you buy try to do it anonymously, like buying at precious metal shops in a major city.
If you're buying at internet shops you could be leaving a trail of personal information...
