Can someone help me answer this question. i have family that know i trade and they always ask me about gold and buying the physical form of gold. I only know about trading gold on the exchange, i have no idea as far as physical gold buying, what is the best answer to give with respect to obtaining gold in that manner?? I believe someone once wrote on this site that gold is was difficult to obtain or that it was very expensive to obtain in physical form. should i just tell them to trade it at the exchange, and which method, gold stocks, Gold/USd pair??
