I want to buy gold, how.?
I want to put 27 to 35% of my savings (not emergency fund I have that funded), into gold.

No I don't think the world is coming to an end, but the chances now are better than 0%. Besides, I'm well diversified in stocks, both in my 401k and Roth, and have an emergency fund... yet I'm 100% into US dollars in my savings. That's not exactly diversified.

And I won't need this money soon, I'm not putting all my savings, so if gold goes down I won't need the money or be forced to sale low, so this is not a problem.

So, I live in Florida, where can I go and buy a few thousand dollars of gold the cheapest way possible (least transaction expenses).

THank you.

Silver or even other suggestion is fine too.

shop around on ebay for gold bullion. get an idea of what the individual pieces go for. then go to sites like goldline.com and others to compare the prices. only buy from a reputable dealer.

There is truly only one great way to do this;
Buy the ETF's GLD (gold) and SLV (silver).

No storage fees. No shipping. Trade immediatly during trading days/hours.

Cost of trade: $5-$15 (for up to around $400,000 in gold).
Very liquad.

Learn about Exchange Traded Funds. They are over 50% of the full
trading done on the American Stock Exchange. They are used by the average retail customer as well as the professionals.

And... it's nuts to put more than 5% of your assets into metals.

Watch out with gold and silver. There is more gold and silver sold on paper than there is in existence. Much of this is because of future bets and predictions on what will be mined and because the silver and gold is being lent out. IThis paper contracts and promises sell like real gold and silver, and because of this the true price of these metals is being held artificialy low.

If the crap hits the fan and everbody tries to get their gold and silver at the same time then the gig is up and a lot of people are going to be left out in the cold. Someone will run off with your gold or silver in the middle of the night, a warrant will be out for their arrest and you'll be stuck with worthless IOU's.

You're better off owning some real, physical gold or silver. If you can't get your hand on these then be very careful with who is storing it for you.

Well, you can buy the physical bullion from a company, there are many out there and they are easy to find through a simple web search.

You can also buy gold exchange-traded funds which give you direct exposure to gold. You'd go through your broker or sign up for an account like TD Ameritrade and buy the ETF you want. The most popular one is symbol GLD, each share is 1/6 of an ounce, you should read about it first or pick another one you like. The best thing about this way is that you can sell it quickly and easily.

Stay away from silver, it's really not worth it.

These symbols are backed by the actual commodity

GLD (backed by gold)

SLV (backed by silver)

There are gold mutual funds unless you want the physical gold in which case the easiest and cheapest way I know is by going to pawn shops and ask to see what they have stashed in the safe. they'll have coins and you can bicker about the prices.

dont forget storage costs. storage costs tend to be a yield
