Hi just wondering if anyone knows anything about investing in gold?

Any good articles / books to read on the subject?

I've seen bullionvault and while the idea of being able to buy and sell so easily seems attractive the idea that I don't have the bullion in my hand puts me off, the aspect of having some worth in material that I own and can touch and feel is kind of appealing.

I'm talking very small scale, buying the odd ounce now and again maybe, so far from the small bit of time I've spent looking into this it seems that my best bet would be Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, or British Soverigns,

Does that sound about right?

Any one that has experience and can point out some pitfalls and reduce the learning curve that would be great.

Thanks!
