Gold101 - 5 Options On How To Buy Gold

The price of gold and silver has risen incredibly since 2001 with 250% increase in the price of gold and silver even more with 350% increase.  No wonder many people are looking to investing in these commodities and wanting to know more about how to buy gold.

Deciding on what precious metal to buy is always a dilemma for some investors. However choices in base metals such as Gold and Silver are usually good commodities to consider.

Investors can place their money with different institutions, countries and with the various tax implications dependent on the country an investor buys his precious metals. Some counties offer better returns so it’s always wise to investigate as much as you can about an investment you may be considering.

Precious metals buying will fall under differing categories such as:

1. Buying coins, gold and silver, and placing them in storage. There are many good coins that will interest an investor such as the American Eagle, Kruger Rands and many others. This is a fairly safe investment opportunity but it does carry some risk.  Gold coins need to be safely stored.
2. Investing into ETF’s these are precious metals ‘Exchange Traded Funds’. An excellent opportunity to invest without carrying the risk of loss of gold owned.
3. Investing in what is called digital gold, example: Pecunix, Goldmoney and Bullion Vault. The gold is stored in Vaults, eliminating the risk of theft.  Peace of mind sure couldn’t be sweeter.
4. Investing in CEF (Central Fund of Canada) these are closed end gold and silver funds. Often considered a safe bet.
5. Certificates of ownership in gold and silver e.g. the Perth Mint program.  It’s wise to investigate it fully before putting your money on any investment.
6. There are many others but these 5 are among the most popular. Sites such as Gold101.com can give you great insight into precious metals especially in gold.
