Why gold?
There are several reasons. First, gold ownership appeals to investors hoping to safeguard their investments from currency instability and stock market volatility. Second, portfolio diversification is a major reason for owning gold and other commodities in a stocks and options or registered savings account. Third, you will be able to buy, hold and trade real gold on the spot market. This means you can take immediate advantage of market movement and take real control over all investments in your account.

Trading gold
When you’ve opened and funded a trading account with Questrade, either stocks and options or RSP, you can place an order for gold. You own the gold from the moment your order is confirmed by Questrade.
