Compiled by DIVYA THERESA RAVI and TAN SIN CHOWA 10-YEAR-OLD girl from Hebei province, China, has turned her red packet savings into a tidy profit after investing in gold three years ago, Sin Chew Daily reported. Gold was priced at 460 yuan (about RM260) per gram at the time. According to the daily, a woman surnamed Bai shared on social media that her daughter began purchasing gold at the age of seven. The girl opted to buy gold, as she did not want her parents to keep her red packet money and feared misplacing the cash herself. Bai quipped that her daughter has a sharper investment instinct than she does, adding that she regrets not buying more gold at the time.
