Storage Considerations: Home safe (for holdings under C$50,000), bank safe deposit box (limited insurance), or allocated vault storage through dealers like Kitco or Sprott Money (institutional security, insured). Each option involves different cost, convenience, and risk trade-offs.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Buy a fixed CAD amount of gold each month β say C$500. This strategy reduces the impact of short-term volatility and removes the stress of timing the market. Over 10+ years, DCA has historically produced returns close to the annual average gold price.
