You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'   ''You must be an engineer,' said the lady balloonist.   'I am', replied the man.

Dividends passive income for small shareholders, my opinion is best to go with one tier tax system (only tax at corporate, not at individual level). This may leads to small dividend payout, not to speculate.

as US printing additional money, gold will still hold the high value.
RAMANATHA PRABHU N  |  Argues in support of  "Yes"  |  2 years ago
Investment in gold is normally low risk investment, it won't have fluctuations either side, it will have only appreciation by and large over time. Threrfore you buy and sell gold at any point of time depending on liquidity requirement.
Nitin M Aras  |  Argues in support of  "No"  |  2 years ago
I agree with Jyoti...we need to wait for at least 3 months, before annual report of the companies...which will decide the right path of thinking about gold prices. In y opinion it will raise and touch to 20000 level.
