| You can participate in the day-to-day price movement
of precious metals with four exchange-traded funds that own physical
gold and silver or precious metal mining stocks. These ETFs let
you "own" gold and silver without physically taking possession
of the metals. And you can own these ETFs in a pension or retirement
account.
Like any ETF you but and sell the gold and silver ETFs through
a broker and pay a sales commission. But these ETFs have low annual
expenses so the cost of ownership is very low.
Market Vectors Gold Miners owns gold mining stocks instead of physical
gold and silver.
