I was a trader in the gold exchange several years back. At that time, I used http://money.net which was free and this http://www.kitco.com/ But I also had an Ameritrade account so that I could do live streaming quotes. Try getting a http://Yahoo.com account set up and start looking in the "Finance" section for gold stocks.
Like this one https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/nem?ltr=1.
Start communicating with like minded-buyers on that forum who will provide you with ticker symbols for other penny stocks or low cost stocks.
Gold is a great investment whether you are in the stock purchases or bullion purchases directly from them like http://kitco.com
As for paper gold, I would suggest Canadian Maple leafs of 1 troy ounces and Krugerrands. Put at least about 50% of your investment in these. I will suggest you give these people www.investmentrarities.com/ a call to inquire what the purchase limit or quota they require. They will mail your bullion coins by registered mail.
