BelgianBoy Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gentlemen, I assume there is a smart bunch around here, so let me ask you about gold. Do you invest in gold or not ? If not, why not ? But if yes, how ? Goldmines, shares, gold funds, physical gold, coins, options, others ? If physical gold (bullion ?), where do you keep it ? homeland, safe home / bank ? I have shares, funds and some gold coins, but wonder if I should do more, and what other options are available..... Thanks in advance.

Dexi Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Investing via an ETF is probably the easiest way.Short term trading using CFD`s ( spread betting ) can be exciting as gains and losses can be large.Untill recently there was a gap between the gold spot price and the shares of gold miners but this has started to close now.

Redbaron Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't, mostly because long term shares are a better option (IMO) - and as far as I read gold is overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I sold all of my gold and silver months ago near the peak, mostly bullion but also jewelry and silverware. At that time, the local coin shops were jammed with people mostly selling but there were few actually buying the stuff LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I thought the price of gold had gone up over the last couple of years ? Cant see anything in the current economic outlook that tells me people wont go looking for a hedge against currency movements and the threat of inflation in the economies that are still strong.

cavanami Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Better to hold gold coins, bullion, etc then "paper gold". IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 "SINGAPORE, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Gold edged up on Monday after posting its biggest weekly gain since late August on safe-haven buying driven by worries the United States could return to recession if Congress fails to reach a deficit-reduction deal." http://in.reuters.co...ticNews&rpc=602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
