Director of TRFX Garuda Berjangka Ibrahim explained that gold is one of the safest investment instruments compared to other instruments. Ibrahim also said that if the old investors would be safer if they invest in the form of precious metals, while for new investors or migrants should look and also wait first.

He revealed this was because the increase in Antam's gold price was considered too high and had the potential to go down again. Because of this, potential investors have to wait for a correction on Antam's gold price and then enter.

Ibrahim also added that if in 2011 there was an increase in gold and also information that continued to rise, so that many people have the ambition to buy it, but all vanished because the price of gold suddenly dropped quickly and drastically, this was caused by the absence of correction.

He explained potential investors should also pay attention to the movement of data and the price of this gold to minimize losses suffered in the future.

Before buying gold to invest also must be determined what instruments will be used. For example, determine whether to buy precious metals physical form or derivatives. Both have their respective criteria and their respective benefits.

If it is physical, the owner usually feels safer because of holding the gold but the price increase is not too significant. If the derivative is higher the risk but the profit can also be higher.
