[quote:Anonymous Coward 11270093:MV8yMTIzMjY0XzM1ODI1OTMzXzE1Q0RBRTVG] You can buy physical gold bullion online in the uk VAT free and inclusive of delivery for around £46 per gram. I am going to buy a little 5g bar soon... but that is for my element collection! :) http://www.thegoldbullion.co.uk/buy-umicore-gold-bars http://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-bars/ [/quote]

I would like to get lots of advice, pro and con about buying gold.
I am in the UK but would welcome input from all.
Here is my situation.
I am mortgage and debt free.
Inflation has made me concentrate on buying in tinned and non perishable goods. I have several years supplies and have quite frankly run out of storage space.
I have bought clothing that will last me several years (eg prices for cheap trainers have doubled in 18 months) so i have several years in hand now.
I have cash in hand to deal with emergencies.
I garden and have good tools and several years of seed storage on hand.
It is the usual problem that you need to have many thousands of pounds before a savings account pays interest above our inflation rate.
I have an account but it pays 0.25% to savings below £5000 (thats why i stocked up on food that was increasing in price at a huge rate)
Would it be a good idea to start buying gold ?
(even in small amounts)
Does anyone have any reputable links for UK companies ?.
Do any of you people have alternative ideas for me ?
Many thanks
April
