Your Thai Wife and her Gold? Gold is a traditional "store of value" for Thai's.

We are far away from recent Gold price hights. Due to increasing inflationary pressure, interest rates are likely to increase, something that is "bad for the price of Gold".

Simple question: How does your Thai wife react to price movements concerning Gold these days?

We're not FAR away from the highs. In January it was 81.xxx baht as highest ever, and just for 1 day actually, and right now it is 70.230 baht.

In January 2025 it was 41.xxx baht.

Interests will probably increase, but will go down again later in the year, and the uncertainty in the world only get worse, which is positive for gold.

I'm heavily invested in gold, and still don't lose any sleep over the current prices.

First of all you speak about people that hold for life, neither as savvy investors, more like a emergency pawn fund. Then if it comes about macro economics you are entirely wrong too, we are at best staying at stagflation aka no rate changes or cutting rates further again. Thirdly, gold will still be back up by christmas. Perhaps just listen to what the big banks say the gold price will do, they clearly know better than you lol.

Some just love their gold. Huge turnoff for me and I would have hard time moving past it. I don't think my wife has any gold but maybe she does.

I have not predicted what the price of Gold would be by christmas. I asked what your Thai Wife thinks about it.

As far as the "Big Banks" are concerned, their Currency and Gold price projections have been "off the mark" so often, it's amost embaressing. I want to know what your wife thinks (or her Thai Family). Don't be shy. Share with us.

As my OP would indicate, it's not what Farangs think about the future price of Gold, but what "down to earth" Thais think about it.

Members of the Thai Family for example.

My wife has held Thai gold now for several years and even at today's price has made a remarkable profit on paper. She calls it her emergency fund.

I've told her, never never sell your gold only if it's a real emergency and she's agreed.

Although having said that, she's still got me whilst I'm alive.

Wait for a drop in oil which is today putting pressure on gold.

What you want to say with this? That she is genius? Anything that anyone bought over the past decade or 2 decades only went up, that's the result of money printing lol. And actually it is people like her that are the bag holders, as they think like old peasants, to always hold and never sell.

The money is being made by those who saw this obvious insane 1000 dollar move to 5500-5600 as unsustainable, took profit, and now bought back at 4000 before already. Just see my posts over all years of anything I saw with money, all was truth and happened exactly as i said. Not because i have magic powers, because i understand how the money system works. Few do.

Have been rolling on the floor laughing what nonsense is being written here over the years if it comes to stocks, bitcoin or gold.

To then educate you properly on the 'safe haven' imaginary things peasants believe in, it is false, gold has in modern human history crashed on every crisis and war, it was never a safe haven. It is just a safe asset for super rich to distribute their portfolio wealth.

Same it crashed right again now, with a 50% retrace, wiping out most folks, to then make them sleep when we hit 6K by christmas. But if the war etc persists, which is likely, gold can easily first go down to 3K again too.

Last but not least virtually everyone that is not by default in USD needs to consider the fact they do 2 trades. For example when bitcoin was 110,000 dollars the EURUSD was 1.03-1.05 only. Today Bitcoin is at 76,000 and EURUSD at 1.1689. That means you not only lose on the asset but also on the currency, the same counts when thinking to have made gains.

If you are not as base currency in dollars you always take 2 trades, a currency trade and a asset trade. For most people, to not understand that too, they think they are in profit while effectively they are break-even or at a loss, just due to that aspect alone.

What do peasants do in reality? They think of imaginery WW2 stories where gold was supposed to be the savior, which is false history, and they get greedy so they bought even more when silver and gold peaked recently, to now be in a overall loss. Trapped.

The only argument for gold from this WW2 stories was that if you fled your own country as a jew, you could bring this gold with you at the time, to start over and have some money, that's all there is to it. Its old irrelevant history that was abused for gold marketing purposes by jews who are the main sellers. It makes the peasant believe that the money system is real and fair.

The system broke in 2008, they never fixed it, they just play games ever since. You can't bet on those old logical beliefs. I'm sure soon they will activate one of these 'secret clauses' as Christine Lagarde called it, where countries can print 'as much as they want', after Germany insisted on deciding it for themselves after the Deutsche Bank nearly crashed in Q4 of 2019, after which covid followed, ISTANTLY, which saved the world crisis from starting. Any alarm bells going off yet? I hope they did because we are in Lockdown 2.0 soon. They have hidden clauses to print money and do whatever, they just need to 'invent a crisis or war', is literally what they said.

Again some idiot disliking my previous post, there is nothing to dislike or like about it, it are facts. Deal with it, or put your head deeper in the sheit it is in already.

Maybe you should cover your pretension a bit better. I roll over the floor when I see posts from people who think they know it all.

And then call all others on this forum idiots as well for sharing their opinions.

So what was to dislike about my post that you rewarded it a thumbs down? Oh, yeah I know, I'm considered an idiot because i have a different opinion than you.

We have <enough> gold jewelry that my wife never wears. Her fifth cycle is coming up this summer and the obvious recognition would be gold. But...she'd probably divorce me if I bought her any at these prices.

Scammed out of 40k.......bought it ages ago, took it to get it valued recently....told it wasn't even gold.

I liked your previous post and agree with the last paragraph. Many financial geniuses were created by the endless money printing that eventually caused tremendous asset inflation. This post not so much :)

That pretty much aligns with the gold trading plan at Casa Nan that is totally under the management of the womenfolk. It is invariably bought when low and only small amounts cashed in when there's a dire need or a budgetary oversight... or when Mrs NL bought me a 1 baht gold ring for being the dependable family wallet and money tree shaker. That way, the gold stocks slowly accumulate, so much so that the mattress becomes uncomfortably lumpy.

My -ex did that with me, swapped a 5 baht chain with one of those cheap plated ones, thinking I wouldn't know the difference. That's partially why she's -ex.

That and trying to shoot me.

quite understandable knowing it is you

Couldn't care less. (Incl extended group of her female friends and colleagues.) Probably only rural-background-people care about that.

Nothing wrong with rural ladies but I get what you're saying. Not a good match for me in most cases. Their egos can be out of control yet most go to the temple regularly. Definitely a disconnect ...

Encourage gold keeping.

Banked money is

inflating, fiat, digital, seizable.

Oh dear...just to clarify it was her gold, she bought it.....it was the shop that scammed her.

Wife doesn't care any more, since we sold it all. Wow, it broke 70k

First time here, bought at 3k. Other times 6k 10k & 20k. Sold at 10k 20k, and last time 60k. Even sold our wedding bands. Now I can afford to go to the dentist. Living in TH is so expensive 🙄

If not for the dog's unlimited funds, I'd be working the streets, so we'd surely starve.

She likes her diamond rings over gold anyway.
