If you've paid much attention to the news lately, you'll have noticed that gold is a hot topic, maybe the hottest. Its spectacular rise in price has taken many by surprise, but for those in the know, it's perfectly natural. So why are so many investors flocking to buy gold bullion?

The fact is that gold is the ultimate safe haven for investors. When people lose faith in paper money and conventional investments such as stocks and bonds, it's to gold they flock. If you factor in gold's limited supply and the demand from industry and jewellery makers to buy gold bullion, you'll understand why pundits say the only way for gold is up. So how can you take advantage of the amazing gold market?

The fact is you have a wide range of choices when it comes to taking advantage of gold. Here's a look at your options. We can separate them into type main types - the first is where you own your wealth on paper and the second is where you actually take possession of the yellow metal.

One popular way to take advantage of the demand for gold is to buy stocks in mining companies. Obviously if they're mining more gold, their earnings are up and so are your dividends as well as the price of the stock. The problem is knowing which companies to invest in.

Another option is through the use of exchange traded funds (ETF). These represent physical gold bullion held in trust in bank vaults. These can only be traded during stock market hours and there's a storage charge for the gold.

Then there's digital gold currency or e-gold which is becoming increasingly popular. The problem is that there are no specific financial regulations for this product. And as the dealers are not banks, they don't have to comply with banking regulations.

Next, you can invest in gold bullion via Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs). These are a new type of personal pension plan that hold investments until you retire and allow you to manage their own fund by investing in asset classes of their choice. One benefit is that you can claim up to 40% income tax back depending on your income tax band. You're allowed to hold investment grade gold in a SIPP in the form of a bar, or of a wafer, of a weight accepted by the bullion markets. It must be stored with a secure third party and you can't take possession.

Finally there are gold options and gold futures. To deal in these, you have to handle a complex, fast-moving market. You need to be a hands-on investor and it's not for those who can't handle risk and uncertainty. Better leave this one to the professionals.

Now we'll look at personally-owned gold investments. Essentially you have the choice of jewellery, coins and gold bars.

Jewellery makes for wonderful keeps sakes and souvenirs but the cost of craftsmanship and design makes it a poor investment vehicle. In addition, pure gold is too soft for most jewellery so some alloy is used. This means when you come to sell your gold jewellery, it will have to be assayed which adds to transaction costs.

Another popular way to invest in gold is through coins like Krugerrands, the American gold eagle or the Canadian coins. While these make fine keepsakes and have a definite value, they're not efficient investment vehicles owing partly to the costs of workmanship.

Finally, you can buy gold bullion bars. Here you're acquiring investment grade gold at the spot price. This is the most cost effective way to invest in gold. In the UK, you can order online for next day postal delivery. And when it comes to sell, the market is extremely liquid. What's more, buying investment grade gold bullion for investment is stamp duty free and tax free (VAT exempt) in the UK and EU due to the EU Gold Directive of 2000.

Buying gold bullion was long a difficult business and it was hard to get clear information. The internet has changed all that, brought transparency to the proceedings, and reduced transaction costs and hidden fees.

Buying gold and silver bullion online for UK home delivery is now a straightforward procedure. Just visit the website of a reputable online bullion dealer, peruse the offerings and place your order. Your bullion will arrive in a day or two by insured Royal Mail.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. QUESTION:
    How would I buy WoW gold with an USA-only Visa Debit Card?
    I've been to a lot of online WoW gold sellers and none have been able to process my payment, because unfortunately my debit card is only valid in the USA and since a majority (or all) of these WoW sellers reside in China, that doesn't help me much.

    If anyone has had this issue, how do I fix it and which company will accept my payment?

    • ANSWER:
      Don't buy gold for numerous reasons:
      - Blizzard does not allow the buying of gold and in the likely chance that they do catch you they will ban your account.

      - These website can offer a huge risk to your credit card details and many Chinese gold selling sites sell on your credit card information to others.

      - Gold sellers after you have bought gold from them will access your account and then advertise their services through your account, most likely getting it banned in the process.

  2. QUESTION:
    Would it be profitable to buy gold in dubai and sell in usa?
    Hello i am from usa and i was looking into buying gold into dubai and selling in usa because its cheaper there i was wondering if anyone with experience can tell me if this is profitable?
    fairy could you suggest a country or a profitable way to do this for me?
    so would buying gold jewelry in dubai be profitable?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on what kind of gold you are talking about. Gold bars/coins, etc? To import such items wouldn't make any sense because you would buy them tax free in Dubai but would have to pay tax at US customs.

      Where you may make some profit is buying jewelleries procuced in "cheap labour countries" and then sellng them in the USA. But in this case it would make sense to buy the jewelleries in the producing countries direcly.
      Please note that gold in Dubai isn't any cheaper than anywhere else. It's just taxfree.

      Profit on gold (not jewelleries) is made when bought while the gold rate is cheap/low and sell it after the price/rate increased. Same system like shares/bonds/ fonds, etc. If you for example would have bought gold a couple years ago and sell it now, you would make some profit.

      You also may take into consideration when buying gold in Dubai, the seller in Dubai will take his piece of the cake already:)

      edit regarding your additional: i. e. India, but buying jewelleries
      produced in India or any other country you may overthink the taste of US customers.
      Companies working in this field have their items produced in "cheap labour countries" regarding their customers demand/expectations.

  3. QUESTION:
    Where can I buy plain gold in USA?
    If I don't want to invest in GLD gold stock and simply want to
    buy some real, plain gold, where can I do this in USA?
    I want it to be a certified gold which I can sell
    later, but not collectable golden coins.

    When I used to live in a foreign country for a few
    years, I was able to buy gold at any bank, for example
    100 grams or more. They were plain pieces of gold
    without any embroidery or decorations. They came with
    a certificate which I could use to prove that it
    wasn't stolen.

    I am not familiar how it is in USA. Maybe you know or
    can give me information of how to buy plain gold in
    US?

    Thank you!

      Are you talking about ingots?

      In the U. S. it is a good idea to buy gold bullion from a reputable dealer. They should be a member of the American Numismatic Association; members are bound by a code of ethics.

      If you will go to money.org and click on the drop-down menu that says "Membership," one of your options is "Dealer Directory." You will go to a page where you can search for someone near you, or for someone who specializes in bullion.

      Some of the larger reputable firms for bullion in the U. S. are Kagin's, Silver Towne, National Gold Exchange, Blanchard's, Bowers and Merena, Ken Hallenbeck, Heritage, and Tulving Company.

      For the spot price of gold at any moment, you can go to kitco.com. For a buy/sell spread you can look on California Numismatic Investments' site, golddealer.com

    Safe way to buy gold bullion coins in USA?
    Anyone know of a way to ensure bullion coin is really what the dealer says without having to do an assay yourself? Is there some organization that certifies the legitimacy of gold dealers?

  6. QUESTION:
    How can I buy and sell gold?
    I have an opportunity to sell gold to a refinery. What is a good way to buy gold in the USA so I could resell it?

    • ANSWER:
      Gold bullion is most often used as a hedge as it is the gold itself which retains value thus making gold equity useless in terms of asset protection. You can either buy bullion in the form of marked bars or gold coins. coins are usually easier to move about and liquidate both due to their smaller size as well as the fact that they are clearly marked. For this very reason it is suggested that if you decide to purchase gold bars you should only purchase clearly marked ones because there have been many cases in which the bar was only made up of a gold crust and the rest was a different type of metal with a comparable weight to volume ratio as that of gold.

      we live in an imperfect world where scammers try to wring out your last drop of blood you will have to be watchful when determining where to buy gold. Of course, the best places to buy gold are dealers with a stellar status and trademark, who can also be found online. The Internet gives you the benefit of being able to get recommendations from previous clients easily which will help you conclude whether or not the vendor is reliable.

  8. QUESTION:
    how to buy gold coins on today bullion spot pries?
    sir iam starting new gold coin Business in chicago.but i dont no ware i want to buy gold on wholesale pries? every dealar charging 5%commition on spot pries.if i buy from dealar i connot make money.please guide me ware i want to buy gold on usa bullion market treading spot pries?please guide me sir...

    • ANSWER:
      The short answer is that you cannot buy gold at the spot price. Unless you read and understand the following.

      Dealers have to make money. The spot price is the price based on futures contracts, and the most-recognized spot price is the COMEX in New York, often called the 'New York spot price'.
      This price is based on 100 oz gold bars. Only major dealers handle quantities this large, and the spot is usually the best price. Dealers will try to buy small amounts of gold, in the form of coins or jewelry, from collectors or people who need money and don't understand how it works, and are easily convinced that the dealer has to buy gold at 10, 15 or even a greater percentage BELOW spot, to make a profit. They then turn around and sell to those looking to invest but don't know how it works that they are paying a premium over spot, (which is a lie) because spot is the price for 100 ounces or more at a time (which is true). If the dealer was actually paying spot and selling to you for 5% over spot, he's not making that much. But if he's able to buy huge quantities at spot and can flip it immediately at a 5% markup, he doesn't care. The truth is that most dealers buy well below spot and sell for as much above spot as they can get away with.

      Look on eBay for actual sales of bullion gold such as American Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs or Kruggerands. You'll see a premium being paid of at least 5% over spot, and often more, depending on the quantity. 1/10 oz. Eagles usually sell at higher price per oz than a one oz Eagle will.

      Forget about most older gold coins. Their prices do fluctuate with the price of metals, but the premiums due to the collectability and rarity factors make the premiums over spot more than you want to deal with.

      The only way you are going to buy gold at the spot price or below is to go out and find people who want or need to sell what they have and don't know how the market works, and then buy it from them at spot or below.

  10. QUESTION:
    Where can I buy an Islamic gold dinar coin, in the USA?
    I'm interested in the ones produced by the Islamic Mint (which is, I think, in Dubai).

    I'm also interested in some of the ones produced in Kelantan (a State in Malaysia).

    Does anyone know where I can find examples of these coins, in real life?
    PS: Thanks to all who have answered, so far. Unfortunately, none of these sources are in possession of the coins I am seeking.

    FYI, the Kelantan coin I'm talking about was introduced in September 2006, and is sold by the Ar-Rahn pawn shops in Malaysia. But I don't see an English web-site for them. And my contacts with the Bank Negara, in Malaysia, have gone unanswered. Bank Negara sells the Kijang Emas one-ounce bullion coin.

    • ANSWER:
      Also try a search for Steve Album. He is the preeminent Islamic coin expert in America, (maybe the best in the world). He has regular stock of all Islamic coins, and periodically publishes lists. He also goes to most major coin shows, so maybe there will be one near you that you can see his stock in person if you would like. He is from California.

    Where in the USA can you buy Diamonds and Gold? I want to make profit from them.?
    No jewelery just raw Gold or diamonds.

    • ANSWER:
      If you're serious, I then I suggest doing this. Buy a few diamonds (or maybe just 1, they are on the expensive side) from Danforthdiamond.com. Then resell them at cash4gold.com or refinity.com. Both sites are decent. Refinity is slightly better tho IMO.

      If you follow this plan, you should make some pretty good bank provided that your diamond is old enough that it makes financial sense to sell it to refinity.com

      If you are selling gold to a retailer, you will prob get less than it is actually worth.

      It does not matter where you do this, the results will be the same everywhere.

    i have not seen any in the USA.

    • ANSWER:
      I think you're looking for too many things in one. Most "gold smiths" in this context are jewelry designers working in a variety of metals. They tend not to have storefronts as its an added overhead cost.

      This leads us into dealers who are precisely that. They buy stuff or more often, take it on consignment. Thus they don't pay retail prices for merchandise, new or used.

  19. QUESTION:
    Why can't USA Gov't buy tons of gold, then give it to Americans?
    If the USA government wants to make America a richer country, the Gov't should plan on eliminating the US Dollar and using Gold Coins instead.

    Before doing this, the government should buy up Gold commodities from all over the world by printing out as many US Dollars as needed to offer US Dollars for Gold to all foreigners for whatever price it takes for them to sell their gold.

    The US government should keep printing out and printing out and printing out US Dollars to buy up Gold from around the world.

    Then the US Government should redistribute the Gold to Americans only in proportion to how much money they had in dollars before they destroyed the US Dollar.

    Now Americans would have almost the ENTIRE supply of gold on the planet, and all the foreigners who sold their Gold for US Dollars got ripped off at the gain of Americans.

    Why would this be bad?
    Nobody but the US Feds can make more US dollars, so why not use this power to create more and more and more dollars to buy Gold, which has indefinite value, then acquire Gold for NOTHING
    It doesn't matter if the dollar weakens, the aim is to destroy the dollar to get all the world's gold. So you just print 1,00000000000000000000000000000000000000 Dollars if need be

    How do i buy 24ct. gold coins in USA?

    i want to know the best legal way to buy gold coins with the govt. stamping on it.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes, you can buy gold coins. Below is a link to a site where you can buy them. But. You should be aware of your other alternatives. When you buy gold coins you are paying retail. If you want to sell them, you sell them for wholesale, so to speak. You also have to pay shipping. An alternative you should consider is the gold fund GLD. It is traded on the NYSE and each share gives you interest in 1/10 oz. of gold. There is of course a drawback to buying GLD. You have to buy the shares through a stock broker and pay a brokerage commission, but you can buy or sell on a moments notice. If you have an account with Scottrade or other on line broker your commission will be minimal. The fund also charges an administration charge. Your other alternative is to buy shares in a gold mining company. Barrack Gold and Newmont Mining are two examples.

    • ANSWER:
      True, for the most part (I still think Glenn Beck is an idiot, though):
      Executive Order 6102 required U.S. citizens to deliver on or before May 1, 1933 all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve, in exchange for .67 per troy ounce. Under the Trading With the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, as amended on March 9, 1933, violation of the order was punishable by fine up to ,000 (6,640 if adjusted for inflation as of 2008) or up to ten years in prison, or both. Most citizens who owned large amounts of gold had it transferred to countries such as Switzerland.[citation needed]

      Order 6102 specifically exempted "customary use in industry, profession or art"--a provision that covered artists, jewelers, dentists, and sign makers among others. The order further permitted any person to own up to 0 in gold coins (,664 if adjusted for inflation as of 2008; a face value equivalent to five troy ounces of Gold valued at 00 as of 2009).

      By the way, GoldLine is a terrible place to buy gold coins. Their prices tend to be 30 - 50% higher than what you would pay at a coin shop or on eBay.

    Buying gold in the USA?
    Hi, I would like to know how to buy gold in the USA. I realize that long term, gold probably wouldn't be a good investment. But I would like to own like 2,000 dollars of gold kind of as an insurance policy against hyper inflation so my family has something that is of real value to use if there is lots of inflation.

    We don't spend much money and save quite a bit so if the value of the dollar dropped significantly, we would go from having a nice nest egg built up from years of scrimping and saving to having no security buffer. I think 2k in gold would give us at least some buffer in a worst case scenario.

    But I haven't got a clue how you go about buying gold. Do you actually own the gold and keep it safe or does the place where you buy the gold keep it and just give you a certificate? Where do you go that is an honest place to buy gold?

    Thanks in advance!

    • ANSWER:
      Do not buy anything from roaming sales persons or little shops in the market, because you can bank on them being fake.
      The gold shops sell by weight, and gold is on an international price basis using the U.S. dollar.
      Only thing is that the labor of doing the object (art work) is cheaper in Thailand.
      But if you have a problem, it is along way to return to just to have a guarantee honored.

  31. QUESTION:
    Can i buy gold jewelry online from dubai?
    Hello i have heard gold jewelry is cheap in dubai i was just wondering if they had a website where i could order from dubai to usa.

    • ANSWER:
      Why should gold be cheap in Dubai? If it were, the rich people would buy and sell it to get even richer. While the price of gold may vary a bit between countries, the difference isn't all that much. You'd have to buy a lot to make any money. It's like buying and selling currency. Banks can do this, but they only make a small part of one cent on each dollar. They have to buy and sell in the millions to make a significant amount. Good is the same way.
      Even if you could order gold from Dubai, would you get it? Or you would get point painted lead? Would you be able to get a refund? No.

      I don't know much about the Indian market.

      I look at kitco.com for prices all the time, I notice that have pool shares:

      https://online.kitco.com/bullion/index.html#pools

      and Perth mint certificates:

      https://online.kitco.com/pmcp/

      You may find these links interesting, you certainly do not have to buy anything from them to look.

      Generally, if you own pooled or unallocated gold, they do not charge storage fees. If you buy allocated gold, there may be storage fees.
      Gold does not earn interest. It may appreciate against a currency if the currency loses value due to inflation. As far as I know gold shares and such are always for 24K gold.

  36. QUESTION:
    is it safe to buy gold in a gold shop in Thailand, I bought some gold and I took it to a shop in the states?
    even though they said it was real due to its color you could not sell it for what it is worth in the USA.

    • ANSWER:
      It is relatively safe to buy gold in Thailand, provided you buy it from a well established gold shop, and it is generally better than 95% pure gold. Fancy necklaces and bracelets with lots of small pieces are best avoided as they will contain far more lead and other impurities, and they are more difficult to test for purity outside of Thailand. So buy it in big chunks.

      Gold in Thailand is sold at a little over the currently quoted price on the world gold markets and unless the gold price increases it won't be worth any more in the USA than it is in Thailand, unless there is taxation somewhere down the line in which case you could be in trouble with your inland revenue people.

      SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures climbed closer to 0 an ounce Friday to touch their highest level in almost eight weeks, finding support from a climb in crude-oil prices as traders moved to recoup the previous session's loss, shrugging off worries that red-hot growth will force Beijing to cool the Chinese economy.
      "A near-perfect storm has aligned both technically and fundamentally for gold," said Peter Grandich, editor of the Grandich Letter, in e-mailed comments. "A test of the 2006 highs around 5 is not a question of if, but when."
      Gold for June delivery climbed 1.2%, adding .30 to stand at 6.60 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It traded as high as 8, its strongest intraday level since Feb. 27.
      The contract closed at 9.90 last Friday, so it's poised to gain almost for the week.

    Is it possible to buy properties rights abandoned gold mines? ?
    Is it possible to buy properties rights abandoned gold mines? Or any other kinds of mines? In USA, ip.

    • ANSWER:
      As I understand it, it is possible to buy "mineral rights" to property, which then allows you to mine it or drill for oil. I'm not sure "abandoned" is the right term for gold mines. Somebody owns them. And if the price of gold goes high enough, it might be worth reopening some "abandoned" mines.

  50. QUESTION:
    why physical gold is sold higher than the quoted price in USA, In Pakistan it is sold at the quoted price.?
    Today gold price is quoted at 87 but if you want to buy a gold bar, its price is 30, the same gold bar is available in Pakistan at 87, why is it a different.

    • ANSWER:
      Prices vary with the physical delivery point. The quoted price of gold is between the big boys of the market. They never really take physical delivery. The gold just moves on the record books of holding houses such as the Federal Reserve in New York. If you want physical delivery then the gold needs to be checked to insure its weight and quality (karat) and then move by armed guards.
