$SPDR® Gold Shares (1326.JP)$
The world's largest gold etf that invests in physical gold.
An etf aiming to track the correlation with the price of gold bullion (LBMA gold price) converted to yen.
Past 1-year price change: +11.05%
Past 5-year price change: +93.87%
The net assets per unit are equivalent to approximately 1/10 Troy ounces (about 3.11g) of gold.
It lowers the barriers to entry into the gold market and provides a relatively cost-effective investment vehicle.
For many investors, the trading costs of the SPDR Gold Shares are expected to be more cost-effective than purchasing, storing, and insuring physical gold bars.

$iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP.US)$
TIPS' principal will rise in line with the inflation rate.
Interest payments will also increase based on the inflation-adjusted principal.
Even with negative interest rates, TIPS adjust the principal in line with inflation, thus maintaining purchasing power protection.
Even with negative interest rates, the main purpose of providing protection from inflation is achieved.
As inflation rises, the principal value of TIPS may increase, potentially yielding capital gains.
Even with negative interest rates, there is a possibility of obtaining returns that exceed the inflation rate.
Due to its low correlation with other asset classes, TIPS offer diversification benefits.
While short-term negative interest rates may exist, long-term inflation protection effects can be expected.

$Spdr Gold Minishares Trust (GLDM.US)$
There is a significant difference between GLDM, which is denominated in USD, and the 1540 Pure Gold Listed Trust, which is denominated in JPY. As a result, the extent to which they are affected by exchange rates is different.
If you hold GLDM, you may benefit not only from the rise in gold prices but also from the depreciation of the yen. On the other hand, 1540 is less directly affected by exchange rates, but since its gold price is calculated in JPY, it is more likely to rise in the event of a weaker yen.
The one-year total return for GLDM is approximately 31.05%, while for 1540 it is 25.35%.
GLDM is highly regarded as a long-term investment option due to its low expense ratio and high liquidity in the US market.
There are voices evaluating 1540 as a means of risk diversification in case of emergencies, as it is a domestically concluded agreement.
Investors who do not want to take foreign exchange risk tend to choose 1540, while investors who want to directly link their investments to fluctuations in gold prices tend to choose GLDM.

アキバのヨッシー OP : Regarding the specific influence of American Jewish capital on the Democratic Party, although Jewish Americans represent only a small percentage of the population at 2-3%, they account for 20-60% of individual donations to Democratic presidential candidates. Due to this immense financial power, they have significant influence on Democratic candidates and policies. Lobby groups such as AIPAC lobby Democratic lawmakers to promote policies favoring Israel.
