A lot of people are bullish on gold for the next coup,e of years.
It had very big gains the last few months.
People are predicting it may have been over done and may decrease in the short term only to continue its run again.
Personally I have gold with a spreadbetting company.
Very easy to set up an account - tax free as well.
Also- able to gear up significantly if you're feeling in the mood for a high risk method.
Try worldspreads or deltaindex.
