actually, minimum gram to open and maintain the account is only 1 gram. You also can top up minimum 1 gram.

I have one account with maybank and i don't mind about the spread since I'm doing this for long term investment.
*
I agree with that. If you put long term for gold your return can up to 50% for 1 year.
If u manage to buy 500gm x 50%, do the math

Wrong mate, we cannot simply buy la even if its long term. If you can buy cheaper very soon then why buy expensive now? You accumulate less gm like that. Example:

If you have RM10,000 and gold is RM180, you'll buy 55 grams. But if 1 day later gold dropped to RM177, the same RM10k can get you 56 grams. Better to wait 1 more day right?

I agreed with you and I think most of the forumers also waiting for the 'lower' price you mentioned. Unfortunately the price keep increasing as for now. Hope next correction will come soon.

Couldn't agree more. Gold already raised to 1870, RM 178.5 is a good price to buy yesterday unfortunately I have missed it due to too risky to go bank with a lot of cash in hand

Plan to open Public Bank GIA due to they allow online transaction but I heard the spread is quite high compare to UOB

No i dont think it should be ignored. Right now the spread is RM 7.43 for PB while UOB is still maintaining at RM2. UOB's spread is fixed regardless of the gold price (for now) while Public Bank & Maybank's spread increases according to the price of gold.

So in say 1 year's time when gold is about RM 230 (hopefully), PB's spread would be RM9.20 and UOB still at RM2. If you buy 200g, your losses for the spread for PB would be RM1,840 while for UOB it will only be RM400.

Maybe you dont mind giving an extra RM 1,440 to Public Bank, but i mind.  shakehead.gif

Good infor..... Can recommend some alternative way if want to buy gold with UOB? Feel scary to withdraw huge amount of money from another bank and bring to this bank.

lustman, looking for physical ar-rahnu kah?

i was in uob today noon and was negotiating a better rate for gold deposit. too bad it was almost lunch hour so their hq dealer is already out and they unable to quote me special price (said the cashier)

and somehow, i felt something amiss on today rate, uob - rm181/g when world price is around usd1860....maybe USD has gotten stronger due to SwissFranc pegging, thus the higher price translated. cos i remembered last time when it hit usd1910, uob was only at rm185/g.
was negotiating for rm180.50/g since for sure cannot get the 1kg rate 180/g

too much difference and i felt nervous and not comfortable to buy at that standard price. went to watch "nasi lemak 2.0' with wife. it is hilarious and has interesting views on malaysian as malaysian.

who knows after got back home, it dropped back to usd1840!!! phewwwwwww

hong chai,
can use interbank giro or rentas for immediate transfer. no need to carry cash so much lah.

its almost usd1820 now. looking for this to continue and i will definitely wait until UOB open on monday  thumbup.gif  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Congrate bro, wait it drop further then we go buy together on Monday. Which UOB you go? How to use interbank giro or rentas? My bank is Alliance bank, got this service?

I am expecting 175 on Monday, then restock gao gao thumbup.gif

Haha bro. Well said. Today UOB gold closure at RM 182.50, If price maintain USD 1850 until market close, then the rate on Monday should be around 178-179.

People who got no balls to take the risk, go for FD or saving, dont buy gold simple as that.
Gold price up and down is normal eventually it will raise (inflation) that's the fact.

I agreed with you rclxms.gif So anyone know USD 1855 equavalent to how much in RM per gram? RM 180? Or lesser?
