Not being an experienced investor of any sort, the more I read about precious metals and elements, the more it seems like it is time to invest in some as a hedge against future inflation. My opinion is being shaped to first value basic necessities like food, shelter, clothing, and water.<p>After storing up some of these items, what would be the best way to hedge against the dollar and invest in gold? How do you actually buy bullion?<p>It seems like a lot of the investments touted today in gold or silver are really just investments in some market security or bet on the price of gold.
