Inclusion/Exclusion of gold/equity,at this point  when inflation and financial crisis is around, should depend the degree of one's sensitivity to his/her risk.Research suggests that gold is less volatile than equity,has in-built inflation-hedging ability and even could be used to hedge against forex risk due to being a substantial part of reserve worldwide.However, one should be careful before taking position in gold/equity based on the horizon chosen for investment.Behaviour of gold/equity for short-term and long term are very different(issue of non-staionarity in data,stability of co-relation between these two asset class etc. are well researched and established).I hope I am bale to make the point.

I will prefer Gold.Gold in 2010 might can touch $1500.

It should not break $1067 down side and upper side , this time , it should settle above $1130-$1133.If not then it might can correct to $1109 level the3n 1082 is target. Hold here and be careful.

Happy Trading.

In current market, its difficult to find buyers for anything. Gold has guaranted liquidity at any time and most of the time its sold with profit.

Yes Gold is the right investment instruement to beat inflation. Compare to stocks it is less volatile. One can opt for direct gold or gold ETF.

Ya Sanjay I agree with you,...and I think gold should be preferred over stock for investment. With Gold price coming down right now, it will shoot back up.


Please participate and share in your views Can Gold give a good ROI at the current price ?

Gold is the best bet during Inflation. Over the period Gold has given an Annual Average return of 30%. In the last few days where Gold has reached the level of Rs. 11,300 (not exact) it seems to be the cheapest price to buy.

It is not the correct time to buy gold the investor has to be patient to make right decisions. First judge the gold market theory and then study the previous market condition and then think about his mental condition and before this, study its portfolio and then fully measure the risk bearance power.It is highly volatile market though it is having the highly liquidity but yet the investor has to think carefully before buying the gold at this point.
