different types of gold before you start this investment. These will guide you
into what kind of gold to invest in and where to source for market for gold.

comes in different alloyed forms and weights. It is the responsibility of any
serious investor in gold to be able to evaluate how much gold is contained in a
product and its weight in grams (g) or kilograms (Kg). This is called the
percentage purity and is rated as Caratage. Thus we have very fine gold 24k
(carat) which contains finite to no impurities and 10k (carat) that contains a
higher degree of impurities as base metal.
5. Look for Sources of Gold to Buy at Competitive Price: There
is nothing cheap about gold. If it is cheap, it's most likely to be scam.

will give you at a price that can guarantee you decent return on your
investment. Your choice of gold seller must be reliable, trusted and delivers
on time.

Partner with other investors to raise enough capital to purchase more KG of
gold and to be able to gather enough money to start wholesale business in gold.
You may also work with gold shops and retailers. Gold is a luxury and not a
necessity so you need to actively look for buyers of gold yourself.
