Few days back i wrote about ETF's  and gold is also traded in the form of ETF's.For further details see ETF's

These days it is good if investors invest through ETF's as it has got many advantages like:

1.Gold will be in Demateralised form and so it can be bought and sold very easily online.
2.There is no worry of theft.
3.You need not have lockers to keep your Gold.
