Real 99.99% gold is actually very soft only. 
Having physical and paper is the same. Both price also go up.
In fact, physical pricing is following the paper one.
The different between paper vs physical is always whether you trust the banker or not only.

The buying power has been stolen without your notice only.
Gold doesn't necessary hedge you 100% on inflation when there is money printing going on.
In fact, gold has not peak at inflation adjusted pricing even it reached USD1900.
It still fail to hedge your inflation adjusted valuation.

2kg of gold can buy you a terrace house during 1980, but you need at least 3kg to buy the same terrace house now.
Buying power has been stolen even owning the gold.

BSN dividen is 27%??? Wow!!

Gold investment... if you wait longer the price goes up... still buy it as it will always go up in the long term

oh is this real? If really yes this would pick up my interest in DeGem

Actually theres plentiful info even in those days
The MAIN difference is

presently theres so much hype on how to make money out of gold.......all sorts of nonsense goin aka Genneva and the like.
INfact you wonder how many newbies are even reading the fundamentals of gold.
people are not intersted in the product itself.
They arent intersted in the fundamentals....only how can i make money outta gold?
Look at most of the questions here........how to buy and make money?

In those days when gold was still BORING NON INCOME PRODUCING PIECE OF RELIC,
these fly by nighters will not be interested.

Generally this is called HERD instinct.....a good psychological tool to snare and kill these type.

i do paper for 1.1%.....that 0.13% is dirt cheap. 

BUT as usual, Msian get fleeced, screwd and killed by banks

lol http://reviewopedia.com/workathome/stansbe...-legit-or-scam/ 

you calculate how much total cost you for each month
then divide the total to how much gram you bought to get even
you should sell only when the price is higher than the even price

eg:

on Jan, you bought 10gm, total = RM 1780
on Feb, you bought 10gm, total = RM 1680
on Mac, you bought 10 gm, total = RM 1580

so, total is RM5040 then RM 5040/30gm = RM168

Then, to get profit, you should only sell when bank bought at RM168/gm
