Either UOB Canadian Maple Leaf or UOB Kangaroo Nugget. They have the lowest spread rate among physical gold of only 3%. The downside is that both are hot stuff and not easily available at UOB Bank branches.

Hrm, I doubt this. 916 gold is meant for jewelry. 999 is always for investment. COMEX prices are traded based on 999.

Nevertheless, for investment, always go for 999.

All the best in your PM investment

Yes, Kijang Emas is more expensive. That would be the disadvantage for it. However, it is the only bullion back by our Bank Negara and they have been very consistent with their buyback scheme. Even though you pay more for it, you would get "higher" when you sell it back because of the consistent spread.

I previously did a check on it. You can refer to my blog here: http://investsilvermalaysia.com/kijang-ema...d-margin-check/

Nevertheless, UOB offers the most competitive gold bullion - The Aussie kangaroos and Canadian Maples are currently the best deal in town

i agrees with this. even for kijang gold coin the buy sell spread is low. but if you think from the perspective of actual gold value in the coin, the spread between real time gold and kijang gold coin is over 10%.

beside after the fall of banking system, people will value kijang gold coin based on actual gold coin rather than the pretty workmanship .

even if this Chart Prophet is right, we just average down when gold is at 1000 and 700. imagine the profit when the gold bounces back from 700 to 1600

first of all, does company B accept gold bar bought from company A?
if yes, they will set the spread according to their likes, e.g. 10%, 15% or even more.
it is up to them.
