Yes you can buy into Gold ETF's (Exchange-Traded Fund's)

(GLD) SPDR Gold Trust
(IAU) iShares COMEX Gold Trust
(DGL) Powershares DB Goldfund
(UBG) UBS E-TRACS CMCI Gold Total Return

Be Careful with gold, it usually acts like a hedge bet against the dollar.
With the Economy on its way to "recovery" I would say Gold prices are going to go down. That's just my Opinion.


But yes "2000v6" is right, if you know people willing to sell thier gold jewelry on the cheap, buy it, you cant go wrong, unless its fake gold jewelry. (that's what I always have been afraid of)
