Regular retailers must have been mistaken. Poh kong sells jewelries. If you are looking to get into gold as a safe haven as a hedge, buy gold bars, gold mining stocks or virtual gold.
Who would buy gold jewelry from PK as an investment? Not only is the selling price at a premium to the market rate, you also get charge ridiculous amount for workmanship and when you sell it back to them, it gets marked down significantly.
I think the run up is just purely from retailers recognizing a familiar gold shop name they see from shopping malls. But yet they fail to differentiate how to properly participate in the gold rally
Well I also think that u mistaken what Poh Kong does. Yes it’s business yes is mainly jewelry. But it also involve in investment holding of gold n also involve in manufacturing of gold.
@tvz32 you answered yourself "Who would buy gold jewelry from PK as an investment? Not only is the selling price at a premium to the market rate, you also get charge ridiculous amount for workmanship and when you sell it back to them, it gets marked down significantly." < that's how they earn.
There's demand, there's supply.
Plus, they cater bullions as well, who buys bullion you ask? Rich fellas.
I bought 1kg X2 of gold bar at 105k each tot wanna give to fisherman to smuggle me out of the country if msia facing may 13 but now is 280k each and country peaceful so reach 300k I think I sell back to public gold and take 600k to buy another property....hehe
@tvz32 You will be surprise how many rich people in our country that will buy from PK coz of its reputation. And no one ask you to sell your gold jewelleries after you bought it right? You buy gold jewelleries for long term investment and fashion purpose. I will still dump my money in gold now given that all central banks around the world doing the same thing, which is, PRINTING UNLIMITED CURRENCY. And this is the Main concern. Try to view things from different angle and it will change your mind.
