Probably 208 is the retail pricing.
Gold never reach Rm208 before, if not mistaken, it never cross the Rm200 mark.
RM17x is the spot price, the real worth/value of gold.
ic..i never know can purchase at discounted price..thx for the info..
i been asking this as i was approached by my friends husband which is doing gold investment, he explain the plan to me:
i) buy 100g of 999 gold with current market price RM20,800 (RM208 x 100)
ii) upon purchased, he will hand me the physical gold which i can verified at goldsmith shop for purity
iii) after 3 months, he will buy back the gold with profit margin of 7% (RM1456)
that's y i m still considering if i wanna buy from his plan or direct from bank....i did heard alot of scams about gold coins before...sorry if this is not the right thread to ask this

anyone can shed a light
