1, stocks can only be long, not short, in other words, stocks can only make money when they go up, but they can't make money when they go down, and spot gold can make money when it goes up or down.

2. The stock has no leverage. 1 1,000 yuan can only buy shares with 1 1,000 yuan. Spot gold has a leverage of 1 1,000 times, which can amplify the capital utilization of 1 1,000 times and amplify the income.

3. The stock is made in China, and there are bookmakers in it. Spot gold is made in the international market. Because of the huge turnover, there is no dealer in it, and the market is fairer.

4. The information in the stock market is asymmetric. Some people always know the information first. Because of information asymmetry, retail investors are always at a disadvantage.

What's the difference between futures and spot gold?

Futures is the domestic market. Like the stock market, there are bookmakers in it, and there is also the problem of information asymmetry. Retail investors are in an extremely unfavorable position among them. In addition, the trading time of futures is very short, usually 4 hours, and the trading time of gold T+D is 10 hour.

Spot gold has no dealer, and it is traded 24 hours a day, and no settlement is required. Deal immediately. The funds will arrive immediately.

What is the difference between spot margin trading and futures margin trading?

Gold spot margin trading is represented by the London spot market, and there is no fixed trading place. As the counterparties of global market participants, the five largest gold merchants in London (Luo, Jin Baoli, Wandaji, Wanjiada and Meisi Pacific), investors only need to pay a certain percentage of spot deposit when buying gold, and the rest is similar to bank loans, so they have to pay a certain percentage of interest on a daily basis. Interest can also be interpreted as the loss of opportunity cost of gold merchants.

Gold futures margin trading, represented by the New York Mercantile Exchange and NYSE, has a fixed trading place, and the trading target is not spot gold itself, but a standardized gold trading contract, which stipulates that both parties to the transaction will deliver gold in kind at an agreed price at a certain time in the future.

Is the gold deferred settlement transaction launched by Shanghai Gold Exchange also a margin business?

This is also a margin transaction, but only for its members. This kind of margin trading is different from London spot margin trading and American futures gold margin trading. It is a spot gold transaction. Different from the spot market in London, it has a fixed trading place, only as a trading medium for investors, matching investors to trade, and the exchange itself does not participate in gold trading. Different from the American futures market, the subject matter of American gold futures trading is standardized gold trading contract, while the delayed delivery of gold in Shanghai Gold Exchange is spot gold trading.
