It's a terrible time to be buying gold. No one knows whether it's a bubble or not and you'd be buying at historically high prices. You're probably better off just sitting in cash. Your best option right now is looking for undervalued stocks. It's like a massive sidewalk sale out there right now.
Here is some general advice: if everyone is doing it, you should seriously consider doing the opposite.
