Is there anyone out there that knows the gold buying in's-and-out's. Vietnam seems to have long charged a huge premium over world gold market prices ( in the range of 18% above). That would certainly mean that it would take an individual a great deal of time to recover the loses incurred once purchased. Is Cambodia a better place to buy? Of course you would have the added expense of visa, transportation etc., to go there and buy. Does one have to go to PP or one of the larger cities to buy in Cambodia or can you buy at the border.
I had thought gold might be a better way to invest/save here, since all the other means are unappealing to me and banks are so unstable and your funds are insured for a paltry sum.
Any thought s on the subject would be appreciated.
