We all know that the prices of Gold and silver are skyrocketing these days. But why is this happening?
Just 20 years ago, the Gold price of 10 grams was only 7,000 Indian rupees. Today, the price of the same 10 grams of gold has reached 135,000 Indian rupees and is increasing every moment. Similarly, the price of silver about 20 years ago was 11,770 rupees per kilogram, but today it is more than 2,36,000 INR per kilogram.

The reasons behind this :
- Due to ongoing wars and other factors around the world, the stock market experiences constant fluctuations. Therefore, investors are moving away from risky stocks and investing in assets considered safe havens (such as gold and silver).
- Another reason to invest in gold and silver is inflation [when the government of a country prints more currency than the physical assets it holds (such as gold, silver, and many other tangible things). This is what happened in Sri Lanka. In other words: if you previously bought 1 kg of flour for 100 units of currency, and the government has now printed almost double the amount of currency, and you have another 100-unit note, the government cannot print more flour, can it? If they want to make flour, they will have to increase grain production. Therefore, the 1 kg of flour that previously cost 100 will now cost 200. Prices will only decrease when there is increased production in the country.]
- International trade in the world is conducted either with gold or with US dollars. Therefore, central banks in many countries are currently buying gold to reduce their dependence on the US dollar.
- Gold is not like paper currency that can be printed in unlimited quantities using a machine. It is extracted from large mines deep underground. Currently, the demand for gold is high, while the supply from mining is limited. This is one of the reasons why the value of gold is constantly increasing.

(1) Why should you invest in gold and silver?
Even if you belong to a middle-class family, you can still invest in these safe assets with low risk. And the best part is that you won’t even need any digital resources for this. Because we all know that middle-class people save a big amount of rupees to fulfill their future needs. They either keep the money with themselves or invest it in a Fixed Deposit (FD). But an FD gives you a maximum of 6% interest per year, which is quite low. Because you have money, and that money is at risk of losing more than half of its value in a few years due to factors like inflation in the country.
(Risk Factor)
People say that investing can be risky, which is true if you invest in stocks or other digital currencies . But even if you don’t invest anywhere, the value of the rupee is falling in the global market. And without you doing anything, the value of the money you have is already decreasing. That’s why you should invest in safe assets like gold and silver.

(2) Selling is also very important :
The biggest problem, especially for people in India, is that they buy gold but don’t sell it. There are emotional reasons behind this. Since most of the gold in India is worn by women as jewelry, they develop an emotional attachment to it. Also, many religious texts state that gold and silver ornaments should not be sold, which is true to some extent. But this doesn’t mean you should never sell them.
To explain this point, I want to tell you a short story. I would like you to read this story:
:Story:
This story is from 20 years ago. It’s the story of a woman named Sarita. Sarita lived in Bagore, a small village in Rajasthan, India. When she reached marriageable age, she was married to a man from a nearby village. At the wedding, Sarita received gold jewelry from both sides of the family. She was married into a middle-class family; her husband worked for a company and earned a decent living. After a few years, they had children, and they lived a good life together for 15-16 years. Their children were growing up and pursuing their studies. But then a problem arose. The company where her husband worked closed down.
The company paid him well because he had been working there for almost 20 years. But they hadn’t paid him his salary for the last few months, and now the company was closed. He was very worried. That’s when he thought about going to the city and starting a shop. He thought that working in someone else’s shop wouldn’t pay much and wouldn’t be stable. So, he decided to start his own business by opening a shop. But for that, he needed a lot of money.
So, he went to his wife, Sarita, and told her about the situation, suggesting that they sell two of her four large pieces of jewelry. But Sarita refused. Her husband tried to explain to her that when they bought these two pieces of gold jewelry, which weighed about 100-120 grams, they had bought them for approximately 70,000 rupees. And now they could sell them for 1,400,000 rupees (14 lakhs). He explained that they needed the money to buy a shop and goods to start their own business.
But Sarita didn’t agree. Her husband tried to convince her for many days, but she wouldn’t budge. Sarita said, “I understand the problems at home, and I’m ready to help you. I will also work and contribute to the family income. But selling gold is considered inauspicious, and I won’t do it.” “I won’t be able to do it.” Hearing this, her husband didn’t say much and agreed with her.
From the next day, he started looking for a better job. And his wife also started going to a sewing center to learn tailoring so that she could start working as a seamstress. Their sons went to coaching classes. This continued for several days, with no one at home during the day. One day, taking advantage of this, some thieves broke into their house and stole all the gold jewelry. When Sarita returned home, she saw what had happened. She started crying, and they called the police. Many days passed, but the thieves couldn’t be found. Then Sarita realized that if they had sold the jewelry and bought their own shop, their lives would have improved.
Conclusion :
This may be a fictional story, but it reflects today’s reality. Therefore, it’s crucial that you understand this: if you want to profit, always buy gold and silver at low prices. And sell them after you’ve made a reasonable profit, according to your judgment. In the case of gold and silver, hold onto them for at least 10 years. Monitor the price of gold year after year and sell them at the opportune time. Try to invest the profits from selling them in a stable asset-based business (like buying property in the city or buying land in densely populated areas and starting a business there). This will significantly reduce the chances of incurring losses.
I hope you understand these points. Try to explain these things to your family members as well!
God bless you, my dear friends!
