To acquire gold today, you don't have to go on the mission of the 1955 film "Seven Cities of Gold" or experience Charlie Chaplin's trip to Alaska in 1925's "The Gold Rush." These were fun fictional adventures, but the big adventure now can be an investment in gold. They can be trinkets from a store, gold coins from dealers, or gold bars. But if you don't want to keep your gold in a safe at home, your investment can be a gold warrant, backed by a financial instrument, allowing you to buy stock in a company.
If you want an investment backed by gold, you can buy into "exchange traded funds." Based on the price of gold at the time you buy, these funds are traded on the stock exchange. You can even look around to find Olympic gold medals for sale.
