1. Physical Gold, need to get place to store. Storage in Bank need to pay yearly services also. Put at home = Risk. <--- similarly my concern. but i dont have that much to store at banks also.. need to gamble on this
2. Paper Gold, Buy/Sell spread is high. <---- its not PIDM protected, should u want to liquidate, might have to sell at loss within this 2 yrs. the world has more and more suprises for us. na ah for me. my only saving in banks is in form of investment. need to diversify.
3. CIMB/Maybank paper Gold, Convienience and can do online but wide spread of Buy/Sell. <--- refer above.
4. UOB, Have to go Bank to do it. And on top of that, must have saving account before getting the gold account. It's a hassle for people nowadays to queue at the bank.

plus for the papergolds, u might want to check hows the procedure to get the pysical form of ur gold. CIMB for example can only allow minimum 100g with a certain fee. some only allowed to be collected at main branch in KL. if thats not an issue for u, then go for it.
but always remember the old wisdom, its not urs until u can hold it.

for me, its always crucial to determine the enter and exit strategy. not just applicable for share market, i dont do stocks. but just anything.
i get the tips from a very old timer Comando. before u get in, must plan the easiest way out.
if i want to buy gold using my spare cash, i must hv a way to get the cash back.

and i go anywhere, i reverse parking the car 
(until my straight parking skill so bad because lack of practice lol)

for me, yes, i hv come to that conclusion.
some sifus in here might not agree on that though.

im a hands on person. i need to do stuff prior to write up a manual on how to do stuff. im not a creative person.
so i started small.

any loss made in the process, i take it as a learning curve and the fee to gain knowledge.
coming from a then buyer fr pohkong tomei etc.    my dollar cost averaging sheet also doesnt look as good.

1. Yes, canadian maples are one of the most common / recognisable gold bullion in the market with the lowest premium   
    when compared to the American Eagle.  What do you mean by KLCC logo ?
2. Maple leaf doesn't have a standard price. Te price of it depends on the current gold price plus a fixed amount of   
    premium that would be added to your bill.

3. Cant give you the pros and cons of both as i don't really know what do you mean by the klcc logo.

4. You should avoid getting gold bullions from goldsmith shop as their prices are usually way higher tun compared to   
    bullion dealers.

Buysilvermalaysia.com is a local bullion dealer but i have had no experience dealing with him.

I have done a few purchases  from apmex.com

BSM is okay. Buying on ebay is risky.

i think what he meant by inside plastic is fake bullion made of plastic or steel inside. 

Im interested to invest gold...sry newbie here...i got both mbb and pbb online account....want to ask...30k cash, can buy hw much gold now?

And...using these 2 websites, are there 'types' of gold i need to be aware and be educated about?

Tq bro and sis =)

you buy mineral water rm1.00 no fee but got GST rm0.06.

meaning to say, other gold, except LBMMA 999.9 need to pay premium 6%.

those GST on transaction fee only applicable for withdraw money / IBG transfer, not buying physical or paper gold.

Hi all sifus, may I know if Pamp Multigram (1g) would b a good investment for gold - optimal in liquidity & cost?
Where could I hv a cheapest source?  Is therr any fake multigram in the market?
Thx in advance for your kind advice.

Got ppl invest in real gold? I do buy some necklace 2 years back @165/g 

Now shop selling 168/g?

Not really into this type of gold. Spread too high. More into forex futures

Example;
Gold is like an item imported from US and valued under USD.

Gold price drop but USD increased, Last time u buy 1usd RM3.30 but now RM3.80.

Hence it drop also u still need to pay more due to currency fluctuations. If 1USD:RM2.50 then u will buy much more cheaper lor. Vice versa.

USD got stronger and MYR got weaker at the same time, that's why the drop in gold price isn't translated to cheaper gold price here as gold is priced in USD. Sell before economy recovers??Why are you buying gold in the first place?
