I bought uob paper gold at 141.90/g, anyone know i should top up now? Or just keep it? I plan to sell once get the money back..

IMHO, buying paper gold is not good for investment, be it long term or short term. somemore it is not protected under PDM. If I were you, I will stop buying paper gold and get physical gold instead. Through online, You will find a lot of attractive price, sometimes there are people who selling 999 gold at 134/g now.

however if gold is continue in downward trend for the next 2- 5 years, I don't think gold can be consider as investment tools already.
Now people who bought gold in 2010 / 11 already loses the value.

agreed rclxms.gif

Many people (aka gold player) predicts this downtrend will continue till Mid 2014. Well this is just a prediction.
Assuming now 134/g is consider cheap. what if in Jan 2014, the price drop till 100/g and the trend continue till end of 2014. What will you do? would you still consider 134/g is cheap? are you going to sell back you 134/g gold with 100/g price and buying other gold? Yes you get price averaging but in a way. you still losing.

Hi guys,

I'm now to this. I heard that next year buying gold will get extra 6% on top of the price? Is it true?? @@

By the way, want to make a survey normally where you guys buy physical Gold? You getting the Bullion or just get those small Gold chips at the shop selling gold?

And normally where and how you keep it safe??

I used to have quite a number of gold coins. I bought whenn the price was around usd1600++ per oz. Now I am no longer holding any coins with me. I just sold them all last week.
Yes I lost quite thousand ringgits but to think that if I continue holding them longer I will continue losing.

Yeap.. my mistake.
One of my 1oz gold coin was bought at rm5700++. Look at how much it cost now.
So I sold them all, bought again with lower price. They called it cost averaging.

I bought them over maybank's counter.

So, you bought bullion? I see the price is slightly higher than the average market price. Maybe the price of the design. And the buy sale margin are quite wide.

I don't go for paper gold as it's totally not worth at all. Want to keep it and have it long term as emergency measure. So, your guys normally keep it with the bank? I not feel comfortable to put it at home but yet put in bank you will have some annual fee to pay. Very pening lahh.

I keep them all in arrahnu. biggrin.gif
with the money, I pusing-pusing to buy more gold..
But... don't pusing if you don't know how to pusing.
Becareful with pusing-pusing, you can get trapped and all your gold will be gone.

U buy sale , buy sale pusing like that can't guarantee the earnings ler. The buy sale there oledi lost the margin. Am I right?

I'm not with those mutual fund thing also. So never thought of investing there either.

I did lost money and make money. biggrin.gif
Thats why I said, you must know what and when and how want to pusing. haha

most important is at the end is how much gram you own.

just my 0.5gram point of view icon_rolleyes.gif

He is big and well known gold tauke. Has large gold distribution network. Selling not only 100g or 200g but kilos in one time.
Of course his business is legit. Purely buying and selling.

If 916 gold, you can sell to any jewellery shop in Masjid India. They till deduct min 15% from today's gold value.

Eg1: You bought a 5gram ring for RM 750. (You buy the ring when the gold price was RM 150 per gram)

Today's gold selling price for 916 is RM 130. Shop will deduct 15% from RM 130 which is = RM 110.50

You will get RM 552.50. Lose RM 197.50
Eg2: You bought a 5gram ring for RM 500. (You buy the ring when the gold price was RM 100 per gram)

Today's gold selling price for 916 is RM 130. Shop will deduct 15% from RM 130 which is = RM 110.50

You will get RM 552.50. Profit RM 52.50

Nice feedback.  what i noticed is that there seems to be 2 different general pricing when it comes to gold in Malaysia.  With the jewelers such as Habib, Poh Kong, Wah Chan and others they have a spot rate that is based on the FGJAM which is the Federation of Goldsmiths and Jewelers Association of Malaysia. cry.gif  The spot price is usually published by this group and it is way higher than the actual spot price displayed in mks or kitco.  biggrin.gif

I have seen where at bullion dealers such as mysmartgold.com.my, buysilvermalaysia.com, nubex.com.my you are able to buy 100g PAMP Suisse Cast bars for less than RM 13,500.00 a piece  but at these jewelers they are selling the same for between RM 16K - RM RM 19K.  The disparity on the price makes sylar111's advice wise.  thumbup.gif

With regards to the storage aspect of physical pm's that is the only problem that we have to overcome but for me it is still worth the effort to be creative in the storage of these physical bars.  I still believe in a saying that I had heard in Mike Maloney's videos "IF you don't hold it, you don't own it".  rclxm9.gif  So with that in mind, I have had fellow collectors be very creative in the way they store stuff.  Some of the more creative ones:-

a.  Digging a hole in the ground and putting it there
b.  Put a little in the water tank of the WC
c.  In the freezer
d.  Amongst the children's toys

I do agree with lots of the forum members that the collecting of gold is usually done as a hedge towards the economic uncertainty that is looming but naturally I treat gold just like any other investment.  thumbup.gif  It has its cycle and its time.  My personal experience, I remembered buying the little bits of gold in the mid 90's for about RM 35/gram and how upsetting it was when in the late 90's in went up to RM 95/gram and now the price?. cry.gif . ooohh how I wish I could repeat the early 90's again, when gold price was low and I was better looking.. he he he  cool2.gif

Happy Stacking/Collecting..

Just to add, another place to find very reasonable price of 100g pamp suisse is via fb. Trust me sometimes the price is too good to be true.
