Super easy since I'm already a customer. Filled out some forms saying that I realize that the price fluctuates and that was really about it.

New info: If I'd have gotten the account when I'd found out about it, I'd be up 70,000 won.

Also, they will send you a text if the price of gold goes higher or lower than 30% of the price you purchased at.

Is there a minimum deposit needed when you create the account?

I don't believe so. I started the account on 370,000 won.

Never ever invest in something you do not know well. Poor fools have lost 50% of their savings in the market, panic, take their money out, buy gold at the top of a bubble, and when it crashes 200%, will have lost everything.

Why would you buy anything that everyone else is buying? That's not good investment strategy.

370,000 is hardly an investment, is it? If that's his life-savings, I'd say he has bigger problems!

No, it seems to me he's dipping his toes in, and with such a small amount of money, why the hell not? That's how people learn right? Give the guy a break.

Uhh, you can't forecast gold by one day. It swings like crazy over the short term. But over the long term it's only gone up in the past 10 years.

You're still down today.

Whether or not it's up or down over the year.

As of this minute you are still down.

I've looked into the ups and downs of gold and I'm pretty comfortable with it. Again, Shinhan has an alert system. If I see the bubble deflating, I'll pull, and losing 30% of 370,000 for this experiment is perfectly fine.

You say why buy when everyone else is buying, well, we're sitting on top of a $600 trillion dollar pyramid that's about to collapse. Do you think bailouts will help? Stimulus packages? Hell no.

What kind of load does it have? Front-end or Back-end?

What I read from that is, "you don't have a clue", I asked an honest question. You "invested" a pitance in Gold. Good for you! And, based on your reply to my Q; you invested in a product you dont understand. You are not buying gold,you are buying a Vehiclethat buys gold for you.

When the commission is paid can make or break a deal.How that commission is paid can make or break a deal.

Your reply to me was an asshole' reply. Your 4.5% answer was useless.

But its all good, I called my guys at Shinhan and Nong-Hyup. They actually gave me the answer I was looking for. Enjoy your $200 investment. Twit.

**sorry for the typos, I hate Dave's format.
