For those looking into actual gold, Scotia Mocatta is one easy place to buy actual gold bullion. They have an Estore where you can buy little bars or coins, and they have different sizes etc

I think having actual physical gold, as opposed to a piece of paper that says you have gold, is never a bad thing as a supplemental insurance policy in case crap really hits the fan.
