There are a number of attractive options for investing in gold and there are pitfalls. Gold stock investing includes mining companies and derivatives.

Commentators go on about how the government may well increase regulations of offshore drilling and how the disaster will certainly drive down the price of BP stock or even spell the end of the company. Obviously not the case and never will this cause the end to BP with a 40% gain in BP's stock over a 2 week period proved that , not to mention having a trillion dollars in oil reserves guarantees BP's future. The background story to this drama is that pretty much all of the easy ways to find oil in the world have been found. Investing in shortages is what Exxon and BP and others do when they drill in deep water and invest billions of dollars exploring in politically unstable third world countries. When considering whether oil companies will succumb because of these disasters investors should consider energy alternatives when investing in oil and how deep they have to mine when investing in gold in the world of investing in shortages.
