QUOTE(lustman @ Aug 18 2011, 08:34 PM) what FGJAM price has got to do with buying gold bullion unless you want to buy jewelleries totally irrelevent  Do your own research before commenting, jewellery shops do sell gold bullion too.

QUOTE(monsta2011 @ Aug 18 2011, 09:30 PM) I still cant imagine living in a world without the use of paper money. How inconvenience is that?  How are we going to buy a 30cen stamp with gold? 1g is already worth RM172. RM0.30 = 2 mili grams, when a small wind comes the next thing u know is..... wala bye bye  maybe we cannot imagine the realization of using precious metals and sometimes feel ridicolous bcos we are already "trained" to use fiat since birth. but when the time comes..... so best to be prepared

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Aug 18 2011, 07:52 AM) There is no definitive trend between stocks and gold. Yes a drop in stocks will mean investors moving to other commodities. What's happening now is that due to the volatility in the stock market, investors are falling back to gold as their primary investment. So even though stocks may rise for a few days but the rise isnt enough for investors to leave gold.
Investors also know that despite the rise in stocks early this week, the general economic conditions in US and Europe is poor with a threat of another recession getting stronger by the day.
Any investment either in stocks, commodities, bonds or currency is risky now. We must strive to choose investments with the lowest exposure to risks. Nobody has a crystal ball so nobody will know for sure which will fall and what will rise in the future. Just spread your investments and dont leave all your eggs in 1 basket.
Gold is trading at US$1,787 now. Quite stable past few days. I think gold needs to clear the 1,800 barrier 1st before we see any drastic changes. If it drops below the 1,725 barrier then it will go further as market sentiments will drop as well. Let see what happens. Gold has broken through the US$ 1,800 barrier. Its now trading at US$1,821. Just wait and see tomorrow's prices in Malaysia. It will be close to RM 180 per gram unless gold drops tonite. I think nothing will stop gold now. I should have opened up my UOB account on Monday. Damn!

Someone predicted it will go up to US$3,500 in the near future. How near you may ask but nobody knows, so let's wait and see

Damn!  don't worry, i don't think you're out of the game bcos everyone is confident it will reach $2000 or higher - meaning the current price barely scratches the surface.

But Maybank spread is too high so i dont wanna invest there anymore. I think with the current rise in prices, the spread is now more than RM8 per gram which is CRAZY!
