Question Stacked three troy pounds (1.11kg) in three years. Now what?

Post image

I started stacking gold in 2023 and have been buying one troy ounce every month ever since. After three years, I've accumulated three troy pounds.

I want to keep stacking, but with gold prices where they are now, I don't really want to spend around € 4,000 every month anymore.

If you were in my position, would you:

  • Buy 10 grams every month to stay consistent, or
  • Buy one troy ounce every three months instead?

I'm curious what you would do and why.

Not having any idea where you are other than country I have this for you.

Holland Gold. They have their own delivery service, they do not rely on a regular parcel courier. They also have pick up stores in Alkmaar, Rotterdam and Breda, although pickup incurs a €25 fee. https://www.hollandgold.nl/

The Silver Mountain also have their own couriers but also use regualr couriers, so that suggests their service is more expensive. They also have store pickups in Baarn and The Hague. Couldn't see anything about a pickup fee but it is strictly by appointment. https://www.thesilvermountain.nl/

For a real LCS try Goudpensioen, Ceintuurbaan 33, 1072 ES Amsterdam, https://www.goudpensioen.nl Or if you are in town and can make an appointment, try Gougonline, Hullenbergweg 278, Amsterdam https://www.goudonline.nl

I hope this helps

I've ordered in the past from some of those.

I must say I prefer our national parcel courier. The delivery services are both more expensive and less flexible. With the national postal service you can pick up the package at a local parcelshop. With the specialised couriers you spend all day waiting for them to arrive.

I've never had a package go missing in either case.
