Anyone got experience buying and storing physical gold in singapore?  bullionstar.com seems reputable, appreciate inputs as prices slightly lower than in malaysia and importantly no gst charged.

Nolah, im in KV only.  Tempted that i am, it will probably worthwile if you buy few kilos through them, and not few grams.

I tried buying gold bullion from Nubex and they charged GST.

thats weird.

when i bid for live pricing 999 gold coin, the pricing is different when i proceed to make payment.

say the live pricing is 4.5k but when i proceed to the payment page it becomes 4.8k

when i ask them, they say the extra 300 is GST. 

then i straight close tab and proceed to buy from silvermalaysia.

then i dont understand why the extra because i did chat with the customer service.
he assured me that the extra is GST charges.

I avoid those shop that exploit consumer

Their silver also exp I end up sourcing my silver bullion oversea.

Aus US canada , US american eagle and Canadian maple leaft always on spot price.

its the 1oz panda gold coin.

i called Bank of China for the quotation.
its so much more expensive.

any other reputable seller apart from nubex/ buysilvermalaysia?

Shipping free ppl bring back for me

http://1stopgold.com.my/

this company selling cheap PAMP gold bar...but you have to self collect from their office opposite KLCC...no shipping...

For Nubex, i noticed their Canada Maple Leaf gold bar(GST exempted) selling at competitive price compare to buysilvermalaysia...

For me, China Panda gold or silver coin expensive than Canadian maple leaf....

If this is the first time you buy gold, then answer is YES...

For the first timer who want to purchase gold,this is the right time...
But i recommended buy some 1g 999.9 LBMA type gold bars for emergency use...

For wealth preservation, better buy 1oz 999.9 LBMA type gold bars....but not the one wrapped in vynil package...must be the one can open the packaging to test the purity of gold...

For me the current gold price is fair price...Since one dinar(917) 4.25g almost equal to price of one goat...for more than few hundreds of year, one dinar is able to buy one goat...

Don't buy gold bar from gold jewellery shop...expensive,big spread

as a collection.

just happened to know they release 1 new gold coin edition every year since the 80s.

how low can gold price go 

Sorry, i don't have any experience deal with 1stopgold...

i agree UOB price cheaper than nubex and buysilvermalaysia...some rm160/oz

certificate come with gold wrapped in vynil package can not trust...if u want to pawn at any pawn shop or ar rahnu,the gold must go through the purity test...
If the vynil package get open, the price of gold will drop significantly....despite it is LBMA type...

harry analyses demographic trend same as TA no financial fundamental at all. everyone hv different preception of gold either u like or u hate. most ppl want fast money & gold is not fast money it is bcos most metal guru tells u the potential of gold going vertical that made alot ppl angry when it did not move after years betting on it.

cherroy, u kept saying 25yr of gold stagnation which is a fact but that doesn't mean it will stagnate for another 25 years. hv u calculate the return from 1980 to 2011??

gold is store of wealth not to speculate & deploy at the right time which is 2011. i see some buy gold this year & sell end of the year. if that so better put in FD,ASB,ASN or other higher return funds. stocks been crashing over & over again but ppl like warren buffet still made money and same thing can happen to gold as well. commodity market is cyclical as jim said nothing goes up vertical without any price correction.

yes sinbad2k, i agree with u it depends who u believe & how deep is your understanding about gold. if u don understand u won't put everything in like michael. right? smile.gif

i see most ppl trying to show off their prediction kungfu here but based on what? gold is not consumable or a neccesity u don need gold to stay alive & it doesn't work it only sits in the vault. gold is confidence. no confidence buy gold, got confidence buy stocks. want high return buy high risk stocks, want low risk return buy bluechip, want lower risk than bluechip but don trust government buy gold, want lowest risk although knowing will depreciate very slowly via inflation but safest lesser volatility then should put in the bank let the bank make money out of your money. simple! smile.gif

finally buying numismatic gold is not gold investment. it is coin collector same like fine art or antique collector which is even longer time frame than gold investment & nobody will go all in. wink.gif

so, we should start buying gold once it hits below $1000?

how long is long term?

and how short is short term?

wow gold gonna hits below $1000 soon 

interesting gold/house price ratio...

Gold is a weird relic of antiquity;
It’s pretty, so people use it for jewelry;
But it’s unlike iron ore or oil, or copper, or corn;
There’s not specific end-use for it.

Poor mike Maloney he is probably worried sick trying to find little stories here and there to keep up the hype.

His original story was gold is going up because every currency will be replace by gold. Now that his story is old he goes on to cook up bullish stories whether or not it has any basis.

I bought at the high in 2011 lost 35% and got out of all my silver and gold. I did some study about gold and silver from a historical perspective and never look back. I think as with all commodities gold will rise one day but not for the reasons touted by the gold promoters.

Yeah and I know the gold promoters have been warning about selling it even until now.

Curiously I have been doing pretty well when I do some things the gold promoters warn not to do. Like being long USD. I will definitely get back into gold when it is time for it to rise but not now.

I  am glad you mention the word time. These gold promoters fail to mention it because of their undisclosed motive.

Ic. Gold premium reasonable than silver at least.
That's what worries me if buy from someone else or 2nd market bought and kept for long time want sell realize fake.
Where do you suggest me to buy if want authentic and competitive price.
My wishlist are 1oz gold bar.

Do you suggest me to source silver from SG??

Did anyone purchase BNM Kijang Emas n is the quality gud?
