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 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.
