How do I invest in gold?

[NDVogel]

Hi everyone,

I have no experience in investing. This is my first post.

I think the US is going to have a round of inflation in 2010 and I think it would be best for me to invest in gold. But I have no idea what company to use.

Can someone please help me get started?

Thanks,

Dennis

I dont like the idea of investing in Physical commodities...brokerage cost...storage cost...they are illiquid etc...I think there are better investment vehicles out there to take advantage of the change in the price of the underlying commodity..in this case Gold...

There are many ways to invest in gold. I think the best way is to buy it online to reduce broker commissions and store it in a vault. You can do this through an Online Gold Exchange. In the last few years there have been advances that allow private investors access to the professional gold bullion market. There are a number of benefits to this. Firstly, your insurance is covered by your storage fee. Storage costs are very very low. When you go to sell you can do so in seconds. The integrity of your Gold is trusted because it has been stored in a professional vault. You own the Gold 100% and can have it delivered to your home if you wish. However by keeping it in the vault you don't have to worry about delivery.

ETFs may be an option. However I prefer owning physical gold.

Physical gold doesn't sound like a good way, all the storage or delivery costs too much

There is an increasingly wide range of methods available to investors wanting to buy gold, or gain exposure to gold price movements. From gold coins to complex structured financial products, the most appropriate way will depend on the requirements and outlook of the individual investor.
Coins and small bars
Exchange-traded gold
Gold accounts
Gold certificates
Gold orientated funds
Structured products

The distinction between the purchase of physical gold and gaining an exposure to movements in the gold price is not always clear, especially since it has always been possible to invest in bullion without actually taking physical delivery.

If you are thinking about investing gold, it is worth giving the same consideration to your purchase as you would to any other investment. The following list of questions is provided as a guide to help you decide on the channel or channels that would be most appropriate for you.

There are a few ways to invest in gold. One is to buy it in actual physical form like bars or coins. You can also buy gold futures or gold exchange traded funds. Commodity trading in gold has become extremely popular of late as it saves investors the trouble of storing, securing and insuring gold. If you’re looking for a broker authorized to trade in commodities, you can consult GEPL. The broker firm has an online commodity trading platform to facilitate the buying and selling of gold and other commodities
