Invest In Gold Shares
When investing in gold you need to consider if you want to invest in real physical gold or invest in gold shares. These gold shares we call "gold Exchange Traded Funds", also known as gold ETF's. These shares are basically the same
sort of shares you can buy in the stock market. The only difference is that they do not link to only one company, but either to several companies or to the market gold price.
Gold Price Shares or Gold Stock Shares
As described above, there are 2 types of gold shares you can invest in. These are Gold Price ETF's or Gold Stock ETF's. A Gold Price ETF share is linked directly to the gold market price of the day. A Gold Stock ETF share is linked
