The indirect way is through tickers “GLD” (intended 1:1 tracking to bullion, less fees) or ProShares “UGL” where the latter is intended to track twice (200%) the daily performance of gold bullion as measured by the U.S. Dollar p.m. fixing price for delivery in London.

But some say that you cannot trust the gold ETF’s. So fine. You can buy bullion via mail order from companies like Kitco.com. There are others as well.

Personally, I’m hoping gold will come back down to about $750 to $800, so we can buy more at lower cost. I can only hope and wait.
