To be honest with you gold is a pretty bad investment if you're looking for returns. The general amount people invest is 10% of their portfolio (along with buying some bonds) because gold is stable and provides hedging if the market goes down. If you want actual returns I'd look at investing in some stocks, ETFs, or giving your money to a Mutual Fund to look after it for you. If you're seriously looking to invest some money I could point you in the right direction.
