buy broken gold
Can someone tell me a bit about investing in gold? For instance...?
I have an online brokerage acct that I handle myself (but I'm brand new to it - it's TD Ameritrade). Can I buy gold through something like that? Is it just like going into a pawn shop or something and buying broken gold? Is it buying gold certificates?
I hear all the time that gold is a good investment - but I don't know if a) that's true or b) how to do it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
There are two ways to invest in gold. From your TD account, you can buy gold certificate. Basically, it's a piece of paper that says you own a certain amount of gold. The value of the gold certificate goes up and down just like gold.
Or if you prefer owning actual physical gold, you can buy gold coins or gold bars from banks or local coin shops. Pick the one that says 9999, it means .9999 pure. I recommend Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coin. The best quality in the world.
Good luck
