Reply #32: It's easy to buy and sell gold and other precious metals [View All]

[iamtechus]

I recently looked into investing in gold and did a little research. A lot of people warn that gold mining stocks are a scam or at least very risky so I decided to stay away from that angle.

Buying and selling gold "bullion" appeared to be a pretty open and tranparent process so I bought a couple of 1 oz bars. I intend to hang onto them for a while to see what happens.

If you want to look into buying and selling precious metals, you could try the websites below.

Retail prices: http://www.apmex.com/Category/502/Gold.aspx

The retail prices are a little over the market prices and that website keeps them updated.
