what's the best gold investment strategy for a singapore resident?
user
with gold at us$1300 or so, a gram is about $40.  for your purposes, you have the choice between the gld etf, which represents a bit less than 1/10oz gold equivalent per share, or the physical metal itself. either choice has a cost: the commission on the buy plus, eventually, the sale of the gold. there may be ongoing fees as well (fund fees, storage, etc.) gld trades like a stock and you can enter limit orders or any other type of order the broker accepts.
