Based on the Gold price statistic since the year 2000, I think gold will be one of the best investment for the year 2010. If you have excess money in your bank saving or fixed deposit or if your intend to diversify your investment portfolio gold will be a good option. But, plan your investment well do not put all your eggs in one basket!
Even for gold try to invest in both physical gold bars and also paper gold. For Gold bars if you have contacts or friends who are doing gold business try to get gold bars at a wholesale price, you can get 5-10 RM (2-3 USD)/gram below market price. If your buy it from Jewelry shops the price is around 5 to 10 RM higher then wholesale price. In Malaysia, you can get god bargain at jewelry shops in Masjid India.
As for paper gold purchase my recommendation is Public Bank's Gold Investment Account. Gold Investment Account is an account which allows individual customers to purchase the purest available gold commodity in 99.9% fineness at daily prices for 1 gram in Ringgit Malaysia (RM).
A passbook will be provided to the account holders and every purchase/sale order will be recorded in the passbook. Anyhow, you need to make 20grams minimum purchase to open a new account. Just to caution you, the buying back price will always be lower then the selling price or the market price. It is usually around 4 to 5 ringgit lower. Please ask for buying and selling price before you open an account.
Example; If you buy at RM126 per gram, your selling back price will be around RM122 per gram. So you need to wait until your selling back price move above RM26 to make profit.

Below is the Gold price recaps for your reference.
Source: Prediction by Robert Kiyosaki http://finance.yahoo.com/print/expert/article/richricher/211091
YEAR GOLD
2000 $ 273
2001 $ 279
2002 $ 348
2003 $ 416
2004 $ 438
2005 $ 518
2006 $ 638
2007 $ 838
2008 $ 882
2009 $1100 (approx)
By the end of 2010, I predict gold will be at $1,775 an ounce. If Israel attacks Iran, these predictions will be blown away.
Which means the price of gold will hit RM200 per gram up by around 60% from the current price which is around RM125 per gram. Lets say you invest in 100gram which will be RM12,500 your return will be around RM7,500 (RM20,000 -RM12,500). Of course all this are just a prediction and there is no guarantee but, even if the price didn't increase you still can keep the gold bar until the price increases.

My name is Ray Holley, and I am Co-Founder of one of the fastest-growing online precious metals companies in the US. A large percentage of what I know today about my trade, I learned from Robert Kiyosaki, James Cook, and Ted Butler. I do fully expect gold and silver prices to go through the roof this year, and people who are holding paper dollars are going to feel like the last ones standing in a game of 'musical chairs.' It is more than likely- I'd say it is almost 100% assured that the US Dollar will collapse soon at the rate the FED is printing new bills to monetize debt.
ReplyDeleteJust so you understand, though, having gold and silver in your physical possession is not enough- it has to be the right KIND of gold and silver, and that means bullion coins and bars from accredited mints or dealers such as Englehard, Credit Suisse, or mint coins such as US Gold Eagles or Silver Eagles. So if you have scrap gold or silver jewelry, sterling flatware or dishware, or other types of scrap gold or silver lying around, you will definitely want to capitalize on cashing these items in so that you can purchase gold and silver in bullion form.
