best way to invest in gold?

Dental fillings is a great idea. I know what I can do, I'll post classified ads - "Will buy your gold tooth for top dollars" Then I can position myself to ride the precious metal bull market.
 
I understand your argument, but before I can make a sensical reply I'd like to know what you mean by "long term".

Quote from Covertibility:

Anyone you know get rich off "investing in gold?" Most people who talk about investing are in a long term timeframe. Most "gold bugs" who tout the yellow rock are those missed out on one of the greatest bull markets of all time with their obsession of this frivilous metal.

We understand why investing in equities makes sense and why they rise over the long term. Whats the reasoning for investing in the yellow rock ?

Long term being 20-30 years. If I'm worried about inflation, I'm buying TIPS. If i'm worried about a govt collapse, forget gold I'm planning an escape. If I'm living in Latin America, I'm growing drugs since they default or come close every so often that working for a living and investing is a joke.
 
I have been watching CEF for a while as well.

I have been looking at putting a little physical away as the price drops a little. I really like the Credit Suisse Ingot Cards. They are nicely packed in plastic with serial numbers for long term identification. However, I have popped a couple of emails to Credit Suisse First Boston...and they never bothered to answer.

Seems like the bullion dealers are not excited about giving a choice about whose bars I buy.

Anybody know a stable place to get the 1oz CSFB IngotCards?

Tnx!
 
CEF is a terrible investment right now. Why pay an 11% premium over assets? Just buy gold or silver futures. If size is an issue, buy the mini-futures traded on CBOT.

I really don't understand this preference for funds when you can get the raw asset so easily.
 
I agree....that is why I am watching it...not buying it. I watch about 10x more stuff than I own.

I wish I could say getting the form of bullion I prefer was easy...CSFB is not exactly advertising their product.

Hope one of you more experienced bullion buyers can offer another route to take.

Tnx!
