Tell that to all the people who bought gold over the last five years and held. they are ALL making money. If gold goes from 1 to 1,000,000 it's NOT a bad investment because someone paid 1,000,000. Only for a select few. if that's the case, then everything is bad because everyone doesn't make money all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nausea Posted February 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 29, 2020 Why? People are selling I assume. Rats and sinking ship? Personally, I'd expect gold to go up in a pandemic situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeneeds Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Regardless of fluctuations gold is still nice to have in your hand, and nothing better when the wife adorns hers on and the colour contrast with thai gold just makes her more ravishing, from here the story is private, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday an article on Yahoo finance suggested that investors’ losses on equities had become so severe in the course of the week that they were being forced to sell their precious metal holdings to meet margin calls. Another possibility is that China and india are the largest buyers of gold, but with the current economic crisis due to Covid-19 those purchases maybe scaled back, and I wouldn't be surprised that in those countries there are now more sellers than buyers to keep food on the table 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been buying and selling Thai gold (bars not jewellery) for a few years now and currently have 37 baht at an average value of 19846baht/baht. So my position is good at the moment. Even after this mornings 600 baht drop I have a profit (on paper) of over 140,000baht. I believe will go over the 27,000 a poster mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Gold goes up and down with respect to the currency used to purchase it. It has always been so. That being said, it has trended upwards in the long term. In June 1999 it was $267.40 an ounce, in September 2011 it was $1827, Friday's am spot price was $1626.35, pm spot price was $1609.85. Over the last month, gold has been 'volatile', ranging from $1552.20 to $1682.35.... Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinCityGr8One Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Thailand had sold some of its Gold reserves this week due to the slumping economy. Also, an unknown or unreported party sold $1 Billion of Gold also this week. Multiple factors contribute to the volatility of the Global Gold Market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
