Gold Investing
Gold is a traditional store of value. You can invest in physical gold (coins, bars), gold ETFs (track spot price), gold mining stocks, or gold futures. Each option has different liquidity, costs, and risk characteristics.
Common approaches
- Physical bullion: direct ownership but requires secure storage and insurance.
- Gold ETFs: liquid, easy exposure to spot price without storing metal.
- Mining stocks: company risk plus commodity exposure.
