Easiest way: Ticker symbol GLD.
Each share represents 1/10 of an ounce of gold.
You can buy it and sell it just like shares of any other stock.
As an aside (and don't take this personally): Your post is really valuable to me. I'm a contrarian investor/trader and have been long gold for years. When the "man on the street" starts getting interested it means we are very near a top. I will be looking for more public interest and if it's out there I will start getting short bullion.
