You can buy jewellery or gold bars or go for something more like...Gold-linked bonds and structured notes\n \n>A number of the world's largest bullion dealers and investment banks issue gold linked bonds in various forms. Typically, these products provide investors with some combination of:\n1-Exposure to gold price fluctuations\n2-A yield\n3-Principal protection \n \nThis link has some good stuff you can check - I use it to track the troy ounce price every day to keep a watch for one client...\n\nYou can register to this web and access more on gold...talk to a investment advisor as well...their are other good commodities too...

for the next 3 years gold, as the market price is going up due to demand and conflict around the world.\n\nSell them when everything is stable and invest in property by then, not now as the market is too hot right now.\n\nAlso invest in LCD screen manufacturing stock as they will become hot commodity in the next 2 years.

Gold is the favorite bank reserve to support their currency all around the world. It has limited production and hard to find on Earth. Beside that, every ladies on Earth love to wear the jewelry. Gold is using more and more when the population keeps going up. Now it's $625/ ounce. You can double money in 2 yrs if you bought gold. USD keeps going down, gold will be more expensive.\nMr. Vu

I think the best way to invest is to first see what the best traders are buying and selling.  Then use that knowledge to hopefully improve your portfolio's return.  This is the idea behind the site http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money.  Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors.  You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas.\n\nHere are this month's best traders:\n\nhttp://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx\n\nGood luck.

Here is a great way to invest. It is fool proof, not as quick as you may prefer, but you can trust it.\nwww prospera-fund dot com\nThey are invested with several traders in stocks and FX accounts, (diversified).\nThere you can invest money to earn 10% a month compounded! After testing with 100.00 it works, and so I invested more, four different options, all 10% a month, "offshore investing".\nExamples of compounding: 1000.00 after one year: 3130.00.\nor, 200.00 after 5 years: 60,000.00\nDo it, and forget it for 5 years, you'll not be sorry. \n\nSource(s):\n\nwww.prospera-fund.com \nrefer. luckyrick

Do a short term certificate of deposit (CD) account available at most banks. You won't yield as much as you could if you put it in for 1-5 years but more than you would had you not invested it at all. Put it in a CD for 3 months (I don't know how quick you mean when you say the fastest way). Its a safe investment and you will yield money.

It depends on how much of the 'gold' you have is gold and in what form it is in. Current spot value for gold as a commodity can be found here: http://www.kitco.com/charts/livegold.html

I've been investing a lot in foreign stocks.  Gold is obviously a great hedge against falling currency values, but it isn't a productive investment.  It may go up in price, but it doesn't grow in the way businesses can.  The same can be said for investing in foreign currencies.  You can hedge against the dollar with them, but there's no growth in currencies either.  \n\nIf you think it's only the dollar that will be falling (and not all currencies in a worldwide inflation), then investing overseas is the way to go.  And if you want to preserve the opportunity for growth in addition to simple hedging, buy stocks in those markets that you feel are safe.

It depends on how old you are.  Most retirement plans depend on the economic conditions at the time of retirement.  One person can take their 401k out this year and might get more money then the person taking it out the year after.  See, its all economics.  On top of the economics, its what you invest in.  When you put money in a 401k, you have experts putting it into mutual funds for you.  They take alot from you.  So, theoretically, you can buy your own stocks and make a heck of a lot more.  And instead of investing in them for 45 years, you can invest for 8 years and make the same amount or more.  This is true, however, you dont know what to invest in.  So, I suggest you start small and on something a bit more safe.  I will show you 2 or 3 of the best ways to do this.  I am a rare coin expert.  These ways are not fool proof because the economy goes up and down in a cycle of booms and busts.  But, they do cut out the risk because you only have 10 years left.  \nThe first method is through gold.  I suggest you buy the physical form and not stocks or anything of that nature.  You can buy the physical form and allow the sellers to store it for you.  Do not allow them to store it for you if they are just a small company.  I would rather take the physical gold with me.  There is a fee to take this gold with you though.  But, its better then not having it.  With gold, its always hovering at about $278 to about $315.  I would say that anything less then $290 is a good buy.  When you buy, they always tack on an additional couple of dollars because the gold was assayed into a gold bar for you.  When gold is high, they add like $4.  When it is low, they might add $7 dollars.  Dont worry about this.  Just pay for it.  I would rather buy bullion coins then the gold bars in the packages.  They cost $10 dollars above the gold value in the bar form.  Now, there are certain gold bullion coins that you should and shouldnt buy.  Its always best to go for the pure gold ones.  The reason being is, sometimes a jewelry store will take it in, but they will only pay for its content because they were going to melt it anyways.  And if it wasnt pure 24k, then they might have to take a couple dollars off to turn it into 18k or 14k, etc etc.  So, the purest ones are the Canadian gold coins, and the Chinese gold coins.  When gold goes down, you buy, when they go up, you sell.  Its that simple.  You cant lose because gold goes up and down all the time.  So, dont sell if you lose.  Just keep it there.  Whats the point of saving if you are going to dip into it?  So, over the course of 10 years, I know you can make a sizeable profit.  The question is large or small because you will not know when to buy and sell.  All you see is a profit when you sell, and you see a cheap price when you buy.  What you do is buy when its around $290 or less.  Sell, when it goes up.  And with the excess, you can buy more gold.  Just continue doing this.  I know for a fact that you can start off with $3000 dollars today and make at least 20 trades in the next 10 years and make no less then 100% of your investment back.  Gold is currently at $500 plus.  What if you bought it when it was $290 or less, which is what is preferred.  Thats over 200 per ounce.  So, in a year or two, do you see that you would have had over 5k?  You just have to wait till it goes down to around the 300 mark.  I mean, even if you buy for 290, and it goes up to 310 in 2 weeks, you can still sell and make 300 dollars.  That would add almost another ounce to your portfolio.  Continue to do this until you are about to retire.  During the last year, you will be waiting for the highest price you can find to sell.  Another thing to look into is instead of gold coins, you can buy grain gold.  They are just little balls of pure gold.  They are usually a couple dollars cheaper, but they are hard to obtain sometimes.  \nSecond way of investing is buying coins from the US mint.  They will be the cheapest price you pa

Damn good question, you forgot about the best part, weakness of the dollar. Gold is a fools bet at best, you have to be invested ahead of the crisis, and sell out during the crisis to profit, and vintage lever action Winchester rifles have given a better return over the last few decades than gold. Same thing with other collectables (easy to transport and perishable) that people want to replace what they once had or always desired. Bonds, especially municipal bonds tax-free, are another possibility but again low intrest, yet safe, safe as the dollar anyways. In all practicality, I would say invest in something that will allow you to gain wealth like  your education, real estate that will prosper in a niche market like waterfront or near new mass transit routes, or allow you to do a secondary line of work/at home business such as selling discount goods online, or the like. Put it to work generating more wealth for you. Or you can try stock picking and hope for a multi-national exposed stock or fund, but remember democrats like to punish the "rich", that is anyone who invests what they earn, with taxes on your payroll and your stock dividends/stock sales margins from stock you bought with your already taxed income. Remember even the best stock pickers only average success 50% of the time. Or be like millions of other sucker, myself included, and buy a lottery ticket now and then, that's why it exists, to give us "hope".

If you have a stock brokerage account, you can access several instruments called etf's, that trade like stocks. For gold the symbol is (GLD). A silver ETF is coming soon to the market.\nIf you have a more money and higher risk tolerance you can trade commodities directly with a futures account.
