I was reviewing the Gold

    I was reviewing the Gold ETFs and comparing the expense loads between GLD (0.40%) IAU (.025%) and BAR at (.0.1749%).   Seems to me if you want to buy a pure Gold ETF as a medium-long term holding that BAR is the way to go.   Does anyone know of any reason why you would not chose BAR over the others ?

    IAU's average volume is 30x

    IAU's average volume is 30x that of BAR.  More liquidity?

    And GLD's is likely higher

    And GLD's is likely higher than IAUs I would imagine without looking... but what does this liquidity really mean ?  Lower Buy-Sell spread ?  I mean Gold is Gold right ?
