please make sure you stay  tuned to the end of this video.

Ways to start investing in gold.

Number 1. Buy gold futures.

Gold futures allow you to lock in your  gain or mitigate your loss at any moment!.  

If you buy gold futures based on real gold, you do  not take delivery until the contract has finished,  

minimizing storage needs in the meantime.  To avoid ever having to store real gold,  

you may opt to roll the investment into other  vehicles! Accessible in the United States through  

the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, via a futures  broker. Owing to the volatile nature of futures  

and options, they may be unsuitable for certain  investors. Futures remain the cheapest way to buy  

or sell gold without paying large sums. Options  for the future are an option for purchasing a  

futures contract directly. These give the option  holder the right to buy the futures contract at  

a fixed price within a certain span. You will  need to open a brokerage account to get started.

Number 2. Buy physical gold.

When it comes to physical gold, you will typically  work with dealers outside traditional brokerages,  

and you will also need to pay for storage  and get insurance for your investment.  

Physical gold refers to actual gold that you have  and are easily accessible. The three main options  

for investing in physical gold are bullion,  coins, and jewelry. For investors who are  

more used to trading stocks and bonds online investing in physical gold can be overwhelming.  

Internet Investment Gold allows investors to  purchase physical gold online! store it in a  

specialist vaults, and take care of it should  the need arise. As such, Internet Investment  

Gold offers investors a highly convenient way to  benefit from outright physical possession of gold.  

By stalking pawn shops and estate sales,  a great way to find tangible gold. Gold  

coins and gold jewelry often turn up at such  places, and you can snatch them for pennies.

Number 3. Buy Gold Coins.

You may be able to find better deals for gold  coins from local collectors or pawn shops,  

but making transactions using a legal, licensed  dealer is also generally safer. The most common  

gold coins weigh one or two ounces, but half  ounce and quarter ounce coins are also available  

for decades, vast quantities of gold coins have  been issued by sovereign governments worldwide.  

Gold coins are often minted in smaller sizes (one  ounce or less), making them more convenient for  

investing in gold than larger bars. With a  restricted quest, reliable dealers can be  

found and are located in several major  cities. In global financial journals,  

their rates are readily available. Uncommon gold  coins have above the intrinsic value of the gold.  

Gold coins, whether a home safe or a bank  secure deposit box, need safekeeping.

Number 4. Buy Gold Mining Stocks.

Invest in gold stocks rather than bullion: invest  in gold by gold mining stocks. Unlike Bullion,  

these inventories have at least the potential to  generate revenue. Investors can make investments  

in the shares of gold mining companies. Stocks  of gold mining companies can correlate with the  

gold price. To buy gold indirectly, you might also  want to consider investing in gold mining stocks,  

although these companies' share prices do not  follow the value of gold very well over the long  

run. The growth and return of the stock, depends  on the estimated future profits of the company,  

not just the value of gold. Since mining companies  succeed or fail based on their operating success  

and how they distribute their capital and  generate revenue, gold stocks do not necessarily  

move in line with bullion prices. Often used  as complementary investments are investments  

in gold and gold mining firms!. By building  new mines and increasing their production,  

high quality gold stocks would pay off well  even if gold goes sideways for a long time.

Number 5. Invest in gold mining companies.

Gold miners are at risk of default and in the  event of an operational problem with the company,  

their stock will trade lower regardless of the  price of gold. Investing in these types of firms  

can be an easy way to profit from gold, and it  can also be less risky than other investment  

strategies. Gold mining firms can provide a safer  way of investing in gold than by buying Bullion  

directly. The price of gold will also benefit  businesses specializing in mining and refining.  

Exposure to gold is given by  investments in gold mining companies.  

These companies carry operational risks that  can break the connection between gold prices.  

The largest gold mining firms have extensive  global operations, so business conditions play  

a role in the success of such an investment,  similar to many other large companies.

Number 6. Buy Gold Funds.

Gold funds are a type of mutual fund which,  directly or indirectly, invests in gold reserves.  

Usually, investments are made in stocks of  syndicates producing and selling real gold and  

stocks of mining companies. Individual companies  are also subject to problems such as political  

concerns or environmental issues that are not  related to bullion prices. Several gold funds  

of different kinds exist.Investors interested  in a more liquid and low cost entry into the  

gold market should consider mutual funds and  exchange traded funds that mirror the commodity.  

Gold stock movements growing and dropping  faster than the gold price itself.  

Some are actively managed index funds  that use futures or options to monitor  

business trends or the price of bullion.  A higher risk way to play is to invest in  

an ETF that contains gold stocks, but  has the opportunity for appreciation.

Number 7. Buy Gold Bullion.

Gold is more affordable for the average investor  since it is easy for an individual to purchase  

gold bullion from a precious metals dealer or  a bank or brokerage in some cases!!. Bullion  

bars are available in sizes ranging from a  quarter ounce wafer to a block of 400 ounces,  

but typically coins are the option for  new buyers. A gold bar is also known as  

gold bullion which is a quantity of refined  metallic gold of any kind created by a bar  

manufacturer that meets standard specifications  for processing, labeling, and record keeping.  

Gold bullion is any sort of pure or almost pure  gold that has been certified for it's weight and  

purity. This involves coins, bars, etc, of  any scale. A serial number is most commonly  

applied to gold bars for authentication  purposes. Far more liquidity is provided  

by bullion held in smaller bars and coins  and is very popular among gold owners.  

Larger gold bars, which are formed by pouring  the molten metal into molds, are called ingots.

Number 8. Buy Gold Jewelry.

Gold has been regarded for a long time  as a healthy source of investment.  

To improve the overall value and appearance of  the jewelry, gold is often combined with other  

precious gems and metals. Gold jewelry helps  the gold investor to also enjoy the luxury  

of wearing it. Gold jewelry buyers are shown to  be very price sensitive, purchasing less if the  

price rises rapidly. Better jewelry prices  can be found at estate sales and auctions.  

The advantage of buying jewelry this way is that  there is no retail markup; the downside is that  

the time spent searching for quality pieces  is stored, but the belief that jewelry is an  

investment is naive. There is too much of a gap  between the price of most jewelry and the gold  

value to be considered a true investment. The  finest investment choice is natural saltwater  

pearls. The majority of their importance comes  from the fact that it is very hard to find them.

Number 9. Invest in gold ETFs.

Investing in gold ETFs and mutual funds, while  offering more liquidity than physical gold and  

more diversification than individual gold stocks will give you exposure to the long term stability  

of gold. A wide variety of holdings are exposed to  you through gold ETFs. Although gold ETFs can be  

a good investment, they come with a great deal  of counterparty risk inherent in their custody  

chain. You can purchase more shares over  time to increase the sum of your investment.  

Gold oriented mutual funds or exchange  traded funds (ETFs) shares can be bought  

by more conservative investors. Several  different kinds of gold funds are available.  

Some are actively managed index funds! which  monitor market movements or bullion prices  

using futures or options!!. It can help you  hedge your exposure by buying a gold ETF.  

Selling a gold ETF will serve as a hedge if  your portfolio has exposure to the upside. This  

approach is simpler and more cost effective than  direct ownership of bars or coins, particularly  

for small investors, as only the price of a  single ETF share is the minimum investment.
