From80's advice will get you off to a good start andyarlo.
If you do your research you will find a large number of very over-sold gold stocks, some of which will possibly go into orbit when the precious metals sector gets serious money back into it. Many here have been waiting for ages for this to happen, we may be at or close to the bottom, but no guarantees there.
There are quite a number of threads over the last weeks/months dicussing gold juniors, but be aware there are plenty that may not survive in a period of illiquidity. Some have great potential, but lack enough cash to develop their projects, or the costs of mining may be too high in an inflationary era. Tread carefully here.
Not so great for trading, but have you put any thought into physical bullion? In a time of extreme financial duress it may be the best form of gold investment for some of your portfolio.
And good luck. You will need it to find your way through the market manipulations that will do your head in ;-)
