I think a lot of ETFs are legit and covered but it only takes one caught cheating to ruin it for the entire industry which will hurt holders in any gold ETF. Interestingly enough, here's an article I read after my previous statement; John Embry, described as “one of the leading gold investors in the world,” tells SeekingAlpha.com that gold and silver are “the ultimate insurance policy.” (http://seekingalpha.com/article/1253...surance-policy) Notwithstanding that, “He is concerned that as he sees it there is what he calls ‘wiggle room’ in some of the gold ETF prospectuses; he wonders if some of the ETFs (including the largest, GLD) could be using paper derivative types of products instead of physical gold to back the stock.” Embry “thinks there are better vehicles than ETFs.” Unfortunately, “He doesn’t specify which these are.”

You can just buy the gold ETF GLD. It tracks the way Gold moves.

The advice in this thread is good. I can add that your local yellow pages will likely find you the best place to get physical gold.

Also, Kitco will sell you into gold pools that you can convert to physical - you just ask them to deliver your gold.

And: If you are into owning mining companies, don't forget other minerals. I believe uranium is going to become a hot commodity (pun is intended).

What suggestions, tips or recommendations would you make?

I think the precious metals market is the safest at the moment, although I recommend you make sure that only a portion of your investments in this type and others invest in Forex. I know that now is not the most stable currency, but using a good strategy and good leverage, you could get good benefits.

Hi David,
As you said investing in precious metal market, Can you specify some of them which you had been investing on.

Gold and platinum are the metals that represent a better investment. You can do it by acquiring Liberty, eGold (this is in trouble) or similar. So you can invest in the stock market..

I'm also having trouble understanding your last comment

How does that answer/relate to the question conancare asked... if I may ask?

While I'm asking questions... why are gold and platimun a better investment?
As I always say... "walk the talk" please.
I can say moon rocks are a good investment at the moment if I didn't have to provide any justification for it...
