buying physical gold or certificate?

freedom

For physical gold, the selling price from one bank is about $100/oz over the current market price, kind of expensive. Could someone recommends good Canadian banks or institutions to buy gold/silver? Is the gold certificate cheaper than physical gold?

I think put some spare money in physical good isn't a bad idea. Appreciate your input/advice!

For now it's still too early to jump into physical gold, GLD ETF should be good enough.

Thanks Laoda, you mean buy physical gold cheaper later? What's your vision of the timing?

I'm not mean to buy now, but want to know the process and where to get the good deal.
