Anticipating price drop when official recession hits the fan? Would be a good time to buy  biggrin.gif

No need to wait NBER to declare official recession πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ just wait for 2nd rate cut takes place then can buy but it has to be at the right price if you’re accumulating long term

no increase of gold reserves at BNM while inflation is still running hot

BNM won’t hold too much gold as reserves πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ because Malaysia is trading nation unlike those countries hoarding gold because they already have excess reserves while Malaysia struggling get by while paying usd10billion just in paying interests for debt incurred πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

headline is still correct - UPTREND! laugh.gif

comparatively, it is pathetic.

then again, our policy has always been dun save, spend, free money, (+ culi culi), hutang, lagi hutang...

so, no surprise.
*
It is because BNM have a policy whereby they must have enough liquid reserves to fund 6 months worth of spending of imports of goods and services so which is why you can see the reserves will be pegged towards that πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ hence they prefer more liquidity rather than reserves unlike MAS or PBOC

Malaysia I looked up G7 lockers, not cheap.

Singapore I looked up couple high end ones, promoted by influencers.

Unless, got couple millions $ easy money, just keep at home.

Purpose of holding physical is to bypass the institutions during emergency. But everyone has own opinion.

In fact cheaper to buy a safe and make sure that the safe is cemented down under the bed πŸ˜‚ for protection as walls to easy to guess

No, not keen on safe deposits located in banks, because no full access except during banking hours.  Same goes to the ones located in malls or office buildings.

Silly to think you need a 24/7 safe when most of them doesn’t operate past 11pm for security purpose πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ otherwise defeat the purpose of a safe

If secret safe is accidentally revealed or exposed, how is this safe?  Just need a knife on your throat or family members to make you open it  doh.gif  (I need to use your trademark head slapping icon here, which is very applicable tongue.gif )

Which is why when you put the safe at home it has to be somewhere really safe like in a panic room πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ where only you can access during emergency πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Unker safely conclude you already know your way around buying gold (ability to search web, multiple supply sources, comparing with jewellery shops) but then why seeking confirmation?

If you hope to get cheap or distressed deals, then don't...do you have a way to verify actual gold content? Don't worry to pay the $100-300 more even if buy from reputable wah chan, etc. At least you know some brand guarantee.

Unker's great grandma, they are next level wealthy ones with maids, butlers, chauffers, (I must go visit monthly her house, all need to tripod her) when she passed on...the children discovered she kept a bag of diamonds from the Sri Lankan jeweller.....turns out to be fake.

So Unker's approach, if intend to keep longer term, gold like all other hard asset investments should appreciate per inflation %,  never wrong to buy from the banks, jewellery shops, etc they should survive longer than other retailers n reputable....know what you buy!
*
The moral of the story is to buy with authenticity even if you pay slightly more than market rate as authenticity matters rather cheaper deal πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Hello, may I know where is the best place to buy gold bars? So far, I found this dealer at OKR to have the best price. Also, has anyone bought from them before?

A bit late as gold price keeps shooting up but will be interested to get some if they do come down after the war issue.

Many thanks in advance.

Yes it will come down after the war as history shows

Not yet because the war hasn’t even started yet and if it does most likely it will breach 380 coupled with RM depreciation

Haha. My first physical gold. Impulse buying when see the FlashExtra tag blinking at lazada.
Keep it as a reminder not to do it again.

Any idea how many % different usually buying and selling gold price in shop? For example If I buy it 367, I sell it back to the shop same day, how much will I get roughly?
My guess around 260-270?
*
At least 15 to 20% above the actual market traded price πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ but I don’t expect them to disclose the actual margin as that’s their rice bowl

If you sell expect to lose double around 30 to 40% above the market traded price πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ which is why ppl rather pawn their gold for quick money rather liquidated it in the jewellery shop

I see. Just out of curiosity, usually where and what type of gold people buying for investment?
This is the first time I actually purchased one. Usually I buy paper gold with Miga-i, maybank.
Don't think I will buy physical gold bar again.

Avoid buying paper gold locally πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ as it is rigged by banks with FX spread and price fixing

You wanna buy gold with the best liquidity is GLD in NYSE and locally but still with low liquidity is Bursa Gold ETF if you want it to be in RM

Avoid others because instead you are paying too many middleman charges πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ especially Maybank which when you sell they can fix it to sell it at lower rate because they already controlled and fix the prices to its benefits

Is there a difference buying gold for investment if compare buy from bank, physical or stick to gold ETF?
I will never buy gold from shop due to wife tagging along constantly asking for  πŸ’
*
Just stay away buying gold from the banks as it is rigged pricing by them πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ physical stay away from jewellery shop as you are paying a premium of 30% just for workmanship

The best way to buy gold in paper is through ETF using GLD or if locally Bursa Gold while physical gold if you can afford gold bars from banks and reputable precious metals dealers

Does the new tax apply to gold bullion?

I hope not if the tax does apply to gold bullion haiyah I really voted for the wrong gov

Yes it should but however it should depends on the actual value of the goods

Hence smaller gold coins should not be affected but those larger pieces of jewellery might be affected particularly those diamond rings with high clarity

Guys wanna ask.
Buying paper gold from bank. e.g. Maybank.
Why the rate is not reflected in realtime? As in the global market i see its dropping, but maybank rate is still high. Do they only update rate daily or more frequently?

Also why this tread suddenly so diam?
*
Maybank gold rates are fixed by Maybank using Kijang gold price as reference so it is up to Maybank itself to rigged the price πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ just like gold retailers like Poh Kong itself but unlike at least there price reference using gold live price with craftsmanship %

Yes because kijang as reference it is set by BNM

For conventional and miga the calculation would be differential because of Shariah advisory fees purpose which is around rm3 per gm or 0.5% extra
