Sensex vs. Gold
An informative article in The Hindu Business Line - Gold: Not always a bright idea - analyses monthly gold price trends for the past 10 years in the global and Indian markets & compares them with returns for the Sensex:
- For those who didn’t display such a fine sense of timing, long-term returns from gold have been much more modest.
- In the Indian context, gold has an inferior track record to equities, both in terms of return potential and the probability of losses.
- Gold is not a substitute for your safe, fixed return investments, such as bonds.
Good stuff.
