mark g Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Whatever else you do in your gold trading don't take advice from Gordon the moron Brown!!!! quite a few senior labour figures accrued some serious money around them in the years following that sale as the price rose, liar in chief and deputy ended up with lots more properties than thier salaries could ever have sustained, probably just a coincidence, socialists dont like personal wealth do they?

sandspider Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I used to play with bullionvault.com You own virtual gold (silver, platinum etc.) which does exist and is stored in a vault in London, Switzerland, New York... Easy to buy and sell, and interesting to watch the price fluctuate, and see your buy and sell orders being fulfilled. But that might not be what you're after, if you just want some gold to stick under the bed! I think you can buy it on eBay - small pieces certainly.

Is there a minimum investment to do it in bullionvault , had a look at the website but cant see it , realise there are admin/storage fees , is it aimed at the large investor or small amounts as well ?

Spoonbed Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I wouldn't touch Bullion Vault personally. If your buying gold as a hedge against the end of our economic system, as a investment, or for curiosity value, then you need to be able to see and touch the real stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 True, it's not the same as having physical gold in your presence. On the other hand, if "your" gold is in a vault in London, you're less likely to be relieved of it by a tea leaf than if it's under your bed! Polish chap my mate worked with had some gold formed into a brick and built into his house wall! I don't know if BV have a minimum investment - I was given an ounce to play with, which I traded up to a reasonable sum, but they then took it away after a while as I hadn't given them any actual money... It wouldn't be worth it for a small investment as admin and storage fees would take too big a cut out of any profit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanL Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Buy a krugerrand. It's 1 oz and about £800 What he says - buy Krugerrands. Alternatively buy Sovereigns if you want smaller amounts. Best place to buy is probably Hattan Garden metals or Chard's in Blackpool. Most of the stuff at local pawn brokers is stupidly over priced. J. Am I correct in saying you don't pay capital gain on krugerrands but do on bullion ? Maybe buying gold is a little more tricky than I first thought Only British gold coins are exempt from Capital Gains Tax. J.

Nikk Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'd be interested in the rare earths more than gold right now although I doubt commodities are going to be where it's at now the world is 'returning to growth'. Maybe stocks are going to do the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
