Not interested in an investment. It's purely for the sake of just having some gold. Now is not the time to buy it, but, I've heard of people buying gold from dealers, and later discover it's not real. I understand the difference between spot price and market price, but a couple of stores have been recommended. Tulsa Gold and Silver. For example. My question is, can such a place be trusted?You've been here at Free Republic since 2004, but are only now beginning to give serious thought to this / do the work and research it?!
Don't want to offend you, but my impression is that you are too naive to even consider diving in.
