clnswll.... I asked how people here invested in gold, just before xmas, and a number of people gave their views (see back about 50 posts ~ around 22nd Dec).
Of all the suggestions, if you just want to track the price of gold, by buying on the London market, it looks like buying GBS is the best option, as the poster mangal suggested.

Gateside, Buy GBS(quoted on the LSE) - the cheapest way to track the gold price.
Also the bb (link below) for GBS should answer many of your questions
