How do you hold & protect physical gold?
I always hear Kiyosaki (and countless others) talking about owning physical gold in addition to real estate. I get the thesis, but how does one technically hold, store, and (most importantly) SECURE physical gold holdings? (Especially taking into account the actual costs of securing the physical gold)

Simply put, I don't. I don't consider physical gold to be an investment. I do not place any faith in shiny rocks.
