Gold futures can be speculative
Investing in gold can be done through gold futures, but they are very speculative and can be dangerous for first-time buyers. With gold futures, a buyer and seller engage into a contract whereby the buyer commits to buying a predetermined quantity of gold at a predetermined price on a predetermined date, regardless of the state of the market. That implies that you could lose a lot of money (or your entire investment) if you hold the investment and the price drops right before the contract expires.
