Hello,
I bought quite a bit of Claymore Gold Bullion and Claymore Silver bullion which was later bought out by i-shares. Since my purchases there has been a lot of discussion about "paper" gold and now I am wondering whether the bullion is really in the vault? Do you think dealing with the Central Fund of Canada is more reliable? I am losing some sleep on this so your answer will be appreciated!

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add either VDU and VUN or VTI:US and VXUS:US to my wife's position. She's diversified in Canada but looking for US and foreign exposure for the long haul. The difference between these two sets is one is Cdn and one is US - so essentially this is a currency hedge question. Do you have a preference for which set? Thank you.
