Leave of Absence

March 17, 2011 Leave a comment

I have just been diagnosed with a medical problem which requires hospitalization and surgery.The further treatment will take up to two years after surgery.

At this point I wish to focus all my energies on fighting for my health and life.

As the Bhagwad Gita says:If wealth is lost nothing is lost,if health is lost something is lost and if character is lost everything is lost.I have now decided to make health my first priority.I will put wealth building on hold for a while.

I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise to post at least once a day.In future I will post as I’m able and when I’m in an OK frame of mind to think .Today morning’s post took me over 3 days to put up.I’m really distracted and can’t focus my mind enough to put up a quality article.

Dear regular readers, I’m sorry I can’t do much now and for occasional readers:Welcome!I hope you find what you are looking for and /or have a few hours of fun on my blog.

Please pray for me.Your good wishes mean a lot to me.

Trading Up Silver

I got this neat idea of trading up silver for gold from this site:http://www.getting-positive-karma-now.com/india-bullion.html.Here is the crux of the tactic:-

Consider the chart below which shows the relative price perfomance of gold and silver in Indian Rupees.

This chart shows that over the past ten years gold and silver have appreciated more than 400% on a rupee basis. From 1998 to 2008 the gain was 200%. So in the following 2 years , the gains have been huge. The interesting thing is that silver (yellow line) has had a greater volatility in price than that of gold (blue line) in times of economic uncertainty, from 2006-2010. Read more of this post
