Newbie guide to investing in gold

I would like to trade in gold. Currently have a sharekhan account which I don't use much. I will be investing only small amount around 10000 Rs or may be slightly more. Which is my best option ? to go for a new account with some brokerage firm offering 0 Rs opening fees or buy from sharekhan online.
How to buy online in sharekhan if some one could explain. Looking to buy and sell in 1 month or 2.


Is there any other easier way I can trade other then online ? I think local gold
shops also indulge in such trading.

Guys please help me with this query, need to invest arnd 15k in gold this month...I have a sharekhan dp account. will it be easier to simply buy from banks like icici or bob and sell it off when market is high to some gold dealers or buying paper gold from sharekhan is better ?

First tell me at 31000 you would get 4gms of gold how much appreciation you want and expect in 4 gms ????

at rs 50000 per 10 gms you would get 100% IF came so better go for Gold bees or Gold petal if you want to invest in SIP via MF then go for Reliance Gold fund giving 27% yoy return so far ahead of gold:thumb:
