Invest in Gold ETF

Hi Mr Tan,

What is you view in investing in Gold via Exchange Traded Funds (ETF)? Is it a good time to go into Gold?

--------------------

REPLY:

I am not familiar with investing in gold, and also the right "timing" to invest in gold.

Some experts believe that gold should be part of a well diversified portfolio. If the current price is not too high, it may be a good time to implement this diversification.

--------------------

FROM MY STOCKBROKER:

The Counter is Gold 10 US $ under stock exchange. Seller @ US 63.80(Last done 63.60)

It is similar to trading in STI-ETF. However, this is in 10 shares and in US $
Fom the above indication, you can buy min of 10 shares, the cost will be US$ 638

According to my colleague, this price is fair as it is close to physical gold and move in tandem to it.

ETF is traded like stock.The market price will not exceed the value of its underlyings, otherwise there will be opportunity for arbitrage.

The lot size for GLD (Streettracks Gold Trust) is ONE share. You can buy any multiple of 1 share.
