Gold Bar

Is buy gold bar is a good investment?? Does anyone know how gold bullion or gold coins cost?

Historically, gold has been a very bad long term investment - poorer than bonds, poorer than Treasury bills, and much poorer than stocks. See for example the list just in:

I do not know what he will do over the next 6 or 12 months, but in the long term, it will probably continue to be a bad investment.

If you choose to invest in gold bullion purchase directly probably the worst way to do it. You must pay a small premium (particularly in the case of coins) you must take possession of it or pay someone else, and if you keep yourself, it is vulnerable to theft and other losses.

Here is a link to a site that sells both bars and coins and prices online.

price of gold changes daily and it is a moving target.

I own physical gold, but also think that you purchase a course SCAN exchange traded fund with the symbol GLD. He follows the market price, it is easy to buy and sell premium little real gold market, and it is highly marketable.

Physical gold is more difficult to sell, dealers buy in the spot price or less and sell at prices above the spot market. You also have to worry about storage, theft and insurance of physical gold.

"I pay for a safe in a bank for storing my gold, but Idon't have unlimited access and gold is on the transport is not easy.

Dealers will pay a premium on the "spot" prices. I paid $ 21 on the spot price of 1 ounce gold piece. I think the gold coins are a better investment than gold bullion, because you can sell much more easily than a bar of gold.

I do not know if gold is a good investment right away or not.

But today, Wed, October 17 Cost U.S. $ 757.00 at the close of U.S. market
Means one ounce of 99.99% pure gold coin cost $ 757.00 U.S. + fee (probably $ 10 U.S.)
If you sell, you will receive U.S. $ 757.00 - fee (probably $ 10 U.S.)

Gold bullion (and we speak universally recognized bars)
You have a small commission based on # oz.

The best way for investment is as follows.
Buy a precious metals mutual funds (no load) of your bank if you feel the price of gold is rising, which produce a basket of shares of gold that will give you "Leverage "the price of gold.

This means that if the price of gold rises 10%, the fund will likely increase by 20-30%

Or if you just want to follow exactly the price of gold, Get a Gold ETF funds, it is not leveraged, but the gold followed exactly.
