even gold price fluctuates
by vinod ssssss on Apr 02, 2007 02:08 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

i am really confused of such kid of articles.

1]if everybody in india purchase gold with whatever investment they have will the inflation come down?

2]you suggest to invest in gold so everbodys assests will be stable and can beat inflation over a period of time is it applicable to all commodities or things whose price is stable as the price of gold?

3]sudden purchase of gold will increase the demand for gold and so will the price go up, is it not that when price will be going up and foreign investors will sell gold and book profit?

4]how do japan keep lowestinflation in the world only 1% when tokyo the costliest city in the world is in japan?

5]what lead to the economy crisis in japan which is the second richest country in the world?

6]when there is earth-sky difference in india and japan economy how the number of billioners in india exceeds that in japan ?

7]what role government can play in reducing inflation? if it is not in their hands what control do they have over economy?

8]is their any external forces trying to destabilise economy and waiting for government to invest forex reserves so they can book profit and bring down the economy to stone age?

9]i am asking so many questions because i dont want it to fail like indian cricket team?

10]lastly todays news in toi terroists planning to target indias power plants,electric grid, share market etc

11]we have not yet come out of mumbai train bombing and bombing on samjhauta express and terrorists are moving freely

the is the indian habit of forgetting things and always unprepared to face crisis for e.g power cuts in maharashtra

tell your comments its time now we people have to raise voice

Gold is a safe investment - especially during times of uncertainty, like terror attacks.

AVOID COINS -use ETFs (like Benchmark). Coins, especially those bought from banks defeat the purpose of investing - PROFITS (you pay more to buy and lose a lot when you sell). In an Exchange Traded Fund you pay only brokerage and enjoy complete liquidity. Plus the tax treatment is better than in physical gold.
(I am not interested professionally in ETFs)

Vinod's questions beg no answer. All his questions are coming out of simple logic and recent facts, not out of economic statistics. There is a large media hype out there, aping the western practices. Gold has only limited value in times of inflation, with the biggest plus point is that its purchase cost price will never nosedive. There is unbridled speculation in the commodities including the metals. The current price level of gold is unmaintainable.
