In this video I run through why I personally choose buying gold over buying stocks. I’m not here pretending gold is some magic ticket, but for me it’s simple: I like owning something real that I can hold, verify, and keep outside of the system. When I buy a sovereign, a Philharmonic, or even a small Pamp bar, I know exactly what I’ve got, and I’m not staring at a screen hoping a company doesn’t implode or a market doesn’t get wiped out overnight. I also talk about the way I build a stack over time with sensible, recognisable pieces—sovereigns for the UK stacker, and popular 1oz coins like the Austrian Philharmonic and Aussie Kangaroo. I touch on the practicality of smaller bars (1g, 2.5g, 5g, 10g, 20g) for flexibility, and why I’m big on checking what I buy. If you’re stacking in the UK and you’re weighing up “gold vs stocks”, this is basically my mindset: slow and steady accumulation, tangible wealth, and buying pieces that are easy to move on when you need to.
