Experts advice is appreciated on DHA Rahbar Phase 2 Extension residential files (Haloki/Sadhoki) for 1-2 years holding?

All depends on the ballot but expect no price increases or decreases in 2 years. With inflation and other opportunity cost, you will lose 20% of value of the money you invest if price stays static and no ballot.

My advice would be invest in gold or dollars or stock market energy/construction shares unless you are buying to build your own home and its not an investment.

Khan88, Can you explain how to invest in gold in Pakistan, physical possession is not safe here.

@asif you can buy through pakistan commodities exchange . it works like any stock market

@Asif: Ahmed sahib is correct, you can buy cia commodoties exchange.

Personally I prefer physical holding and keeping it in a safe in a Bank but there are risks attached to this.

Khan88- any logic for buying gold?
Khan88 replied on Thursday, May 31, 2018 12:49 PM 

I was suggesting purely for retaining value of money i.e. hedging as Pakistani rupee which will be further devalued in the coming year perhaps more than one time.

I don't think gold price will rise in the next 12-18 months as 10-year US treasury yield have so far staying under 3% and there is no major conflict in the world but I expect that in few years gold will rebound up. However, converting excess Rupee cash into gold makes sense.

Khan88- thanks and agreed with your understanding but i dont think it is much helpful to keep physical as deduction with be there( in case of selling in future) apart from other risks.

@ achi

Apologies, misunderstood what you were saying. I just like to physically hold it that is just a personal preference, there is no specific need for it to be that way.

Khan88-i mean there is at least 6% transaction cost for buying and selling physical gold.
