Why Physical Gold Is Superior to Mining Stocks for Long-Term Investors

Nice article, but he talks early on about PHYSICAL bullion being better than an ETF, then goes on to develop only the advantages between bullion and miners. I would like to see his analysis (with data rather than just speculation about what would happen during a crisis) on the difference between a gold ETF like GLD and owning physical bullion. It would be important to know if obtaining and holding physical metal is deemed to be worth the inconvenience.
