How to choose the best gold investment account that suits you the most? Let’s do some comparison:
* CIMB Bank Gold Deposit Account (GDA)
* Kuwait Finance House KFH Gold Account – i (GAI)
* Maybank Gold Savings Passbook Account (GSPA)
* Public Bank Gold Investment Account (GIA)
* United Overseas Bank Gold Savings Account (GSA)
CIMB Bank vs. Kuwait Finance House vs. Maybank vs. Public Bank vs. United Overseas Bank
[attachmentid=2532655]
Note: Information is obtained from the respective banks’ websites and customer service call centers.
Here are factors to consider when picking a gold account:
Affordability
Most banks do not charge a fee for the opening of a gold account. However, whenever you sign up for an account, a minimum initial deposit is required ranging from 5 grams to 20 grams.
Other than that, minimum subsequent purchase/sale shall be taken into consideration too. Especially, for those who plan to buy gold on a regular basic.
Fineness of Gold
According to Wikipedia, here is the most common millesimal fineness used for gold:
* 999.99 (The purest type of gold in the market)
* 999.9
* 999 (Fineness equivalent to 24 carat, also known as three nines fine)
* 995 (The minimum allowed in Good Delivery gold bars)
* 990 (also know as two nines fine)
* 958.3 (equivalent to 23 carat)
* 916 (equivalent to 22 carat)
Physical Gold Withdrawal
Please be noted, the minimum quantity for physical gold withdrawal required by some of the banks is 100 grams. In another words, you are not allowed to withdraw in physical gold if your invested amount is less than 100 grams.
Bare in mind, the physical gold withdrawal charges imposed is not really mentioned in most of the banks’ websites, except for CIMB Bank. It’s important to check with the respective bank first before any decision is made to sell your paper gold.
Withdrawal Options
Basically, the option to withdraw in cash or crediting into savings or current account is making no difference for me, because I will still get the cash eventually.
But, for physical gold withdrawal, are the clauses like “you can withdraw in physical gold but it’s subject to our stock availability” and “physical gold withdrawal is subject to bank’s approval” is meaning the same for you?
Convenience
Everything goes online now. We want a hassle-free investment. The idea of online gold trading via PbeBank.com to purchase and sell gold is a good practice and service, which shall be followed by others bank too, perhaps.
Cost
The only major cost to be considered is the difference between selling and buying prices. Low fees translate into cost savings. And this can lead to higher profits. Therefore, compare the price differences between all the 5 accounts and identify the cheapest gold price.
Don’t miss out on all these golden investments! Compare and choose the best gold account for yourself! Terms and conditions apply.

If situation turn ugly aka when you need gold to buy food time, I am scare of my life and my family already, I don't care about gold anymore.
I agree, in times of turmoil, your physical gold better be buried somewhere. Only when things go back to normal and it is secured enough to carry gold, then only go dig up the gold and exchange for some new currency so that we can trade.

Then you need to see why want to buy gold in the first place.
Majority people want to buy gold so that they can gain money, want to have some inflation hedge etc.
All are about to gain money,
Most of the people here and including me too "invest" in gold hoping to make more paper money.
In the last version, many here bought gold, and when the price drop, they start to panic. Then there are the some who sells at the "high" and then buy back when it goes lower.
Last two weeks was exciting, price see-sawing, USD up too.

A lot of lowyat-ers does not know that there is 0% interest 12 mths instalment for physical golds at Poh Kong.
If you expect the gold price increase 20% per year, then the real value of the gold bar should add another 10% (month 6-7) only if you use instalment method. You are paying old price when the value is increasing. So the dispersion is actually around 1.5%.
Not only Poh Kong, other jewellers too. And the best credit card to use is
Maybankard 2 AMEX where it earns you 5X TP and maybe another RM50 cash back if you have not used the allocated cash back amount on weekends. But I don't think it is wise to use "borrowed" money to buy Gold or any other investment, only use extra cash to go buy gold, that's my opinion anyway. Like I said in my article
Gold Stocks Gambling, only invest what you can afford so that you can sleep soundly at night.

setting law = mayb setting standard price /impose or reduce new tax
either way, it may be good or it may be bad.
New regulation is never good. Maybe they want to keep track of who is holding on to gold and can confiscate it in desperate times. Or maybe like you said, impose new tax like windfall tax. Reduce tax, don't bet on it.

Gold is to preserve your wealth not for investment at first.

And when the gold bubble do burst, will you still be holding on to your gold to preserve your wealth? And how you measure your wealth, in terms of RM, USD or KG?
