Buy Gold Bullion

I have heard a great deal about gold lately and I know you have too. It seems there are back to back commercials about buying from this company and that company. I am not so sure that is the thing to do. I like to check things out thoroughly before I invest. So I got on the computer to see where I could buy gold bullion and it was easy to find information I needed. I did not know that you could purchase gold bullion and have it put in a safe depository or perhaps even in your own local independent bank. I do not think I would want to have it sent directly to me but others might feel just the opposite. I know that civilizations have for centuries bought gold because they knew it was valuable and would keep its value. It even increases in value many times.
