As an investment, gold is the most popular of the precious metals
Investors generally buy gold as a hedge or safe haven harbor during economic, political, or social uncertainty (including investment market declines, burgeoning national debt, currency failure, inflation, war and social unrest).
The gold market is subject to speculation as are other markets
The history of the gold standard, the role of gold reserves in central banking, gold's low correlation with other commodity prices, and its pricing in relation to flat currencies during the financial crisis of 2007–2010, suggest that gold behaves more like a currency than a commodity
There are several factors which drive gold up/down:


• Global inflation
• War in the Middle East and North Africa
• Threats to oil supplies
• Volatility in the forex markets

Gold might be popular investment but It needs higher budget and if any new comer thinks he can start with 100-200 dollars then he is just wasting his time and will only use we need at least 1-2k for a proper profit making chance so without this investment it’s not wise to put investment in Gold if we want good results.

Do you guys invest in Physical gold, or do you trade gold on the markets?

Gold needs a good amount to invest but still its a very good instrument to trade as it fluctuates a lot and good for people who like to trade regularly.
