commodity is risky.  \n\ndepending on your investment goals, I would talk to a financial advisor.  Usually your bank will have people you can talk to for free.\n\ngood luck.

A very difficult question to answer. I see that you have a previous response that said yes and one that said no.   The problem is that no one knows for sure what the future might hold.  Here is what I suggest that you consider doing.  Take the amount that you considered investing in mutual funds and split it into 4 equal parts.  Invest one part now into a mutual fund that you think is good.  The other 3 parts place into a guarnteed account, bank account or short term government bonds.  Six months from now, invest the 2nd part in the mutual fund if the fund has increased in value.  If it has not, do not do anything.  Six months later go through the same exercise.  That way you are not risking more than 1/4 of your funds initiially.    And always keep 1/4 in reserve in case there is a terrible stock market crash.  That is the time that you can invest and make a lot of money so save for that event.  Crashes come more often than most people want.

It is worth 2% over the spot price of gold, regardless of the date. The current gold spot price as of the market close on 3 November 2006 is US$626.90.

it is good, but depends on if you want to hold it longterm or short term.  There are many more winners you can invest in.  I do share trading too.. but sometimes you have to be very careful in these stretched markets... you have to make careful choices... Anyways all the best... Good luck....

Buy stock of GTL as many as you can.\nBelieve me, you will bathe in gold one day.

Yes absoultyly gold ahs never been at this price except for in the 1980- you should have invested a year ago. This is a market trend that reflects fear of "soft money" or currency. Because the value of the dollar has fallen so much. You can invest now but it will be expensive to do so, and the price may go down. But such is the nature of stock.

The weakness and a lack of confidence in the US dollar is part of the increase in the price of gold.  Additionally investors are wary about investment alternatives interest rates are low, so money market accounts and bonds do not look attractive.  The run-up of real estate prices make it seem unlikely to be a profitable investment in the near term.  The stock market bubble is still in the mind of investors also.\n\nIt is not as much that gold is seen as an attractive invetment as there seems to be a lack of an alternative.

Up, \nMore and more people are entering the market every day and online trading has taken off. I use a site that gave me 1 free gram of gold to trade, you could do the same and watch your free gold increase in value and learn how to trade.

Looks like a scam to me.  If you are looking to invest your money, you may want to try an index fund.  You won't double your money with an index fund in 70 weeks, but you also are much less likely to lose your money in an index fund.\n\nSomething that has worked in the past was following my mothers advice, "Invest in companies that make things you like."  So if you really like Nike shoes, invest in Nike, or if you really like shopping at Walmart, invest there.  If you really like Gold, buy Gold.

There won't be a crash, too many people want property as its the only real investment these days.  You should get on the ladder now before prices go up again.

I was checking this out the other day, but bought PTEN instead.  This stock is fundamentally unsound, the only positive is the 31% quarterly revenue growth, undoubtedly due to the increase in gold prices.  Technically, it's another story; all indicators are Very Bullish in the Short, Mid and Long terms and the stock seems to be forming a solid base finding support at 5.94.  Personally, I'd buy this stock if I weren't currently in another issue, though I rarely get involved with an issue that is fundamentally weak because it makes very little sense.  \n\nHaving said that, if I get stopped out of PTEN and KRY is still in it's base, my play will be to get in as close to 5.75 as possible with a fixed stop loss at $4.90 because volatility could push it to it's previous resistance at 4.91.  If it closes below 5.25 I'll be keeping a close eye on it, and will consider cutting my losses, depending on indicators.  If it stops me out before I can react I'll just take my loss and move on, but it will be a much larger loss than I normally take, because I usually set an 8-10% stop loss, so I would consider this a risky play.  However, if the stock breaks it's resistance at 6.14 and closes higher than it's previous high of 6.25 I'll change my stop loss to a trailing stop of 10% and just hold on, because I can see this stock easily moving to 9-12 before it's next pull back.\n\nWhatever you do, protect your downside.

Hi fren, I think it is not advisable to invest in Mutual Funds this time, provided u have some other investments which can compensate any loss u might incur. I say so because if u follow market, u can see that for few of the very strong funds the NAV has gone down.\nMutual funds, depend on share market and currently all the analysts (national and international) have advised their clients to take a vacation.\nI think for a new investor like you, u should wait for some time, let the market stabilise once then u can think of getting in.

Nobody knows what the price of gold will do in the future.  If someone claims to know, they are fooling themselves or trying to fool you.\n\nYou could sell a portion of your gold (1 coin at a time, or whatever) at regular intervals, say each week or each month.  That way if it keeps going down, you're getting some money out at today's relatively higher price.  If it goes back up, you'll still have some left to sell at the higher price.  Good luck.

I see two opportunities currently, the Chinese market and metals. For specific currency, investing in the Chinese Market is a great route; this is a boom economy and will be a major superpower/economic power in the future. \n\nAn even better choice would be to change the money into metals, such as gold or silver. As inflation increases and the US dollar decreases, it would be a solid investment to put your money in metal. If I were you and had only $1000, I would invest in silver. I have actually bought silver over the Internet from an exchange and seen a return within the last year.
