ONthis is not for whether to buy gold or not for investment purpose. but which is less costly?
as i understand from equitymaster news letter, and the bullionindia.in website, that we can buy even small quantity of gold at prevailing wholesale rate for holding with them , or to deliver at our address with actual delivery cost but without any other expenses. as per equity master news letter, they only charge 1% of the profit (i presume, only in case of selling). Bullion india is promoted by National Spot Exchange and one pvt. company. As per Equitymaster, Gold etf is cost efficient in medium term. but i think otherwise,as gold etf is charging 1% as expenses every year on cost of holding, whereas bullion india is charging 1% of profit only at time of its sale.
what is your take?

Dear Bharat, thanks for the update. You are already aware of my personal views for gold investing. In my opinion, if one wants to hold physical gold, http://www.bullionindia.in may be a better option than purchases made at local jewelers.
Thanks

update on the matter , as you may know, now AMC could deposit within limit of 20% in gold deposit scheme as allowed by SEBI , and the the matter could change., but i do not know that bullionindia.in or e-gold custodian can do the same thing , or not. otherwise i have not much for up dating.frankly it is complicaed for me to decide . my daughter seems bought physical gold in tiny quantity. for the data available on surfing, it seems bullionindia.in gold price is though 2-3 % higher than spot wholesale rate, it is @2-3% less than e-gold rate. i am not contemplating etf gold unit rates , as the etf gold units really not representing 1gm/0.5 gm gold ,as it is believed. spot rate in small denomination of 1-2 gm may be 5-10% higher, i think.
I LIKE YOUR THOUGHTS FOR THE VEHICLE FOR GATHERING GOLD IN SMALL QUANTITIES OVER A PERIOD OF TIME .
Dear Bharat, what’s the update from you on the matter?
thanks

honestly not. as such ,i have no investment in gold except family members’ jewelry. though, so many times i thought of buying a little gold as investment, i could not do for paucity of funds! however i advised my daughter to go through bullionindia.in for buying gold. i considered it as trustworthy as promoted by the exchange, and cost wise, seems competitive with other option. one should study himself it before investing.
Bharat have u gone ahead with investing thru bullionindia.in?
