What is the better investment vehicle now, Gold ETF's or physical gold and why?

Physical gold bullion: There are advantages to holding the actual metal in your hand, but there are issues regarding secure storage and liquidity. However this is still a relatively “safe” way to play the gold bull market. Gold ETF’s: These will track the price of gold almost exactly.

However, not all ETF’s hold physical bullion, so not all are “as good as gold”. Gold ETF is a passive investment vehicle which holds physical gold as its only underlying assets. It offers you a simple means of participating in the gold bullion market without the necessity of taking physical delivery of gold.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
