QUOTE(gsc @ Nov 1 2012, 11:02 PM) biggest risk is exchange rate loss. Just look at any bank on the foreign currency exchange rate on buying and selling. Buy now and sell immediately will cost you 2.7% tp 3%. Currently only Aus $ interest rate is slightly better than local interest rate. Earlier RM advised to go in when Ringgit to AUS$ was 3.15 but I didnt. I see. so for example when i deposited at RM3.2/1AUD, I can only earn when it is above RM3.2/AUD? And what about fixed deposit works? If I deposit RM10000 for 3months at the rate of 3.0%, i get back RM10900 after 3months? Thank you for your time |

I see.
If I only deposit RM10k for 1month at rate of 3.0%, I'll get RM10300 at the end of the month? Public Bank FD rate |
