1. Wrong concept.  smile.gif
Physical gold you buy at Rm200, even the spot price up Rm10, let say RM170 to RM180, you may only can sell back at RM180, not RM210.
Who is the person to buy at RM210 from you?
Unless you become the goldsmith to sell at retail price. But this is like doing business trading already, not investment, or sell back.

The real worth of gold is based on spot price, nobody want to buy above the spot price.

Physical price is always based on spot price or paper price, there won't be disconnection issue.
As if there is, many will take advantage of the spread and correct the market back.
Market is always efficient, you let people to have change to do arbitrage, the price correction come it to reconnect back.

people are too easy to let the bank to earn, paper gold just a paper of book with numbers. you own nothing but only numbers, just the same as paper money. unsure.gif

can withdraw with physical you might say, but pls say it after u had withdraw it and hold it on your hands.

Yes & No.

Gold has its dark day as well. Gold never rise steadily period from about 1980 to 2002. It stagnant throughout 20+ years. While others investment asset give more than 200-300% (even for pathetic FD) or even more for properties, stocks etc.

Gold is not a backbone of monetory system.
Printed money is not backed by gold. Although more gold in the coffer can instill confidence on your money. But printed money is not backed by gold.
Also there is not enough gold to back all the money out there.
Gold exist or not, doesn't alter the current financial system.
Gold is just another investment class out there in the financial system.

Use gold to measure against goods, price never change?
I don't know the answer, but I only know,
1980 1ounce of gold cost USD 300, while a bowl of hawker mee, cost RM0.20
2011 1ounce of gold cost USD 1700, while a bowl of hawker mee, cost Rm4-5.

So price got chance or not?  whistling.gif
