Menon: For novice investors, what would be the best way to gain exposure to gold?
Jim Rogers: There are various ways, you can
buy coins or bars or futures. Futures are where you get the best
leverage but you’d better know what you’re doing or you’re going to get
wiped out pretty quickly. But you can also get extremely rich pretty
quickly if you know what you are doing, if you get it right.
Or gold mining stocks. But if you are going to buy gold
mining stocks be sure you get the right one because more money has been
lost in gold mining stocks over the past 100 years than any other asset
class, including railroads and airlines. So be sure you get the right
stock if you are going to buy a gold mining stock. - in Morningstar
