QUOTE Most probably London side are pushing the price down to spook the speculators so that when NYSE opens, the bloodbath wont be so bad and less ppl want to jump onto the gold wagon. So far looks like they're not doing a good job rclxs0.gif
Just be patient and wait for a few more hours for NYSE open brows.gif
Edit: Correction, not London, its the Swiss pegging their currency to 1.20 of Euro and causing all the dips hahaha! Exactly what im thinking!!

hahaha today i went to bank and sold off at 1900USD like this..
i feel that the highest point to hit gold is 1920USD now... and the price is still not that stable @ 1900USD..
but it stand strong at 18xx USD.. so tonight as US market opens, the gold will lead the stocks market goes green or red.. maybe they are pushing gold down to make stocks market price to lead green as bro bigwolf mentioned..
best of luck guys..

i still cant understand the relation between USD value of gold and the price of what we buy here. MBB is selling at RM187 as of this afternoon, so how do i interpret this in USD thousand? it is how many thousand USD to have the price of RM187 in MBB?

Its spot gold per gram in USD x exchange rate. Assuming spot gold per gram is USD61 and exchange rate is 3.011
USD61 x 3.011 = RM183.67
Spot price fluctuates a lot in a day although forex rate is not so much. Perhaps MBB also charge a few ringgit extra for processing fees or something. So RM187 depends on what spot rate & forex rate & processing costs(?)

As gold gets too expensive for capital preservation, ppl might start looking at silver as alternative?

wah gold & dowjones both commit suicide together ah? btw i saw gainsville selling 25 x 1gm PAMP at USD1,755.45 + 96 international shipping fees. Average = USD74.058 per bar Worth to buy? Edit: Problem is where to sell la without incurring 15% - 20% loss? I wonder if UOB buys these bars although not sold by them? I heard cannot izzit?
