How can I invest in gold?

There are many ways to invest in gold and these are explained fully on www.invest.gold.org. How an individual chooses to invest in gold depends on the size of the investment, his/her reason for investing, and the purpose of the investment. People invest directly in bars and coins; through gold futures, options, warrants and certificates.

They may also hold gold in metal accounts with their bank in just the same way they could have a foreign currency account. The most popular, fastest-growing form of gold investment is also the newest: gold traded in the form of a security on stock exchanges around the world, generally referred to as “gold ETFs”.
