Gold is a much more accessible investment than many people realise, it has been observed.

Shelter Offshore described the precious metal as "one of the most stable commodities of all time" and suggested that it can offer protection from stock market uncertainty.

According to the portal, people may perceive trading to be difficult, but this is not the case.

It noted that seeking out rare gold coins can be one way of making a wise investment, while those buying jewellery should look for designer pieces that are made of pure gold.

Through such tactics, Shelter Offshore explained, consumers can avoid the need to go gold panning in order to get their hands on the precious metal.

Last month, the South Africa Gold Coin Exchange revealed that demand for gold reached an all-time high in 2008.

Chairman of the organisation Alan Demby explained that interest is likely to remain high, due to the current economic climate.
