How to Buy Gold if You Must

Gold has not acted well over the past few weeks despite the fact the Euro currency has been in dire straits.

As your know from reading my financial blogs, I am not an outright gold enthusiast. I have given my reasons in the past.

But if I opted for gold investments, I would choose an ETF (exchange traded fund) and not gold coins or bullion form, The latter have to be stored and insured against theft, and undue expense for an investment which earns no income. Gold investment market prices can easily be gauged in ETFs. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
