                  May I know…cash gold account with bank (i.e. UOB), with its maintenance fees, will it be worth opening an account?

                    dear Puffer,

                    for UOB cash gold account, you can only buy low, sell high. ( ie long trade ).

                    there is the bid-offer spread ( eg, 75.15 / 75.65 per gram)
                    so if you buy 100 gm and sell 100 gm immediately, you lose S$50 already.

                    and also the maintenance fee. I don't know how much it is.

                    just my view.

                      Jim Rogers: I Bought More Gold Today…Bull Market Far From Over
                      Tue 2:31 pm by Ed Steer
                      ¤ YESTERDAY IN GOLD & SILVER
                      Not surprisingly, gold got sold down right from the time that trading began in the Far East at 8:00 a.m. in Hong Kong. An interim low was in just minutes before the London open...and from there it didn't do much until the 8:20 EDT Comex open in New York.

                      The rally that began at that time, ran into a seller of last resort at 9:00 a.m....and then it was all down hill until 1:00 p.m. EDT. The rally from that point lasted until 2:45 p.m...and then it got sold down for about thirty minutes before trading sideways into the 5:15 p.m. electronic close.

                      The low tick at 1:00 p.m. EDT was recorded by Kitco at $1,275.40 spot...and the high...around $1,301 at the 8:00 a.m. open in Hong Kong.

                      Gold closed at $1,282.60 spot...down an even $16.00 on the day. Gross volume, with the lion's share being of the high-frequency trading variety, was around 172,000 contracts.

                      PS: this is not an investment advice.

                        Yes, gold price will drop further, I am looking at USD1,100 by year end, USD900 by March 2014.

                        (Just for your reference, don't take my words too seriously hor 😄 )

                        can share where u r buying? stock market ?

                        Opps, sorry... just saw this.

                        I trade with Hang Seng Bank, ProGold account. Mainly buying \"paper gold\", no delivery of physical gold, can long or short... but the price quoted is added with service charges.

                        Through ProGold account, can buy ETF gold too.
