The Elephant In The Room

 

Keep these words in mind when you stock up on bullion,land,real-estate etc.Always spend a while thinking how you will liquidate the assets you propose to purchase and at what price.Killings are made when you buy not so much when you sell.

Don’t forget the speed with which gold prices collapsed in April this year.At the beginning of the month it was round 30,000 rupees per 10 grams and  by 15 April it had dropped to Rs 26,450 per 10 grams.
