The best way to invest in gold is through a physical bullion investment, such as buying bars or coins from a local dealer or online retailer. You can also buy shares of an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) that tracks the price of gold, which gives you exposure to the market without having to worry about storing and insuring physical gold bars. Additionally, you could consider investing in mutual funds that specialize in gold investments. Finally, there are also gold mining stocks that provide investors with access to gold production and exploration activities.
