As we head towards another Diwali, here are some gold facts to keep you motivated to make regular purchases in the physical product.Repeat ;physical and no version of paper gold.
1.With every 1 per cent rise in income, gold demand climbs by 1 per cent. But when prices rise 1 per cent, gold demand falls only 0.5 per cent.
2.For a 1 per cent increase in inflation, gold demand increases by 2.6 per cent as investors turn to gold to protect themselves against inflation.
3.Rural consumers show a pronounced preference for plain gold jewellery, while urban consumers are likely to buy gold set with precious and semi-precious stones.Plain gold jewellery accounts for some 88 per cent of purchases in rural India while the corresponding figure for urban areas is 57 per cent. In the days of rampant lab simulated diamonds sold as natural ones,a body is likely to help themselves by choosing plain gold pieces or simply discounting the price of “diamonds” while buying ornaments.Better assume them to be fake and be pleasantly surprised if they turn out otherwise.

A credit score is a 3-digit number generated by credit information agencies such as CIBIL, CRIF ,Experian,Equifax etc ,based on which banks and NBFCs (Non Banking Financial Corporations, such as loan and insurance companies, co-operative banks, stock broking firms, etc.) evaluate a person’s creditworthiness ie their capacity and willingness to repay loans extended to them on time. Based on this assessment companies accept or reject loan applications.
Wondering what the 2 numbers in the title are ?
In the US some 350 non-employee businesses report a revenue of $5 million or more.
Grains, edible oils, utensils, fuels,aromatics, printing, moneylending, cinema,ship chandling etc.etc, a whole hodgepodge of seemingly unrelated businesses of the PSTS, PSTP, PSTC family meant I always knew it was possible for people to be simultaneously present and successful in widely divergent businesses.I also knew that if I listened carefully enough to the insiders,I’d understand the method behind what to outsiders looks like madness in these ventures.Ask me too how PSTS,PSTP&PSTC became shadows of themselves,and I have my views.Unfortunately such study is only good enough to tell me what not to do,what to guard against or insure.And all brakes is no good when you are setting out to build.What I really need in my position today are insights into the habits of P,S &T to which I could attribute their success.And to figure that out,I have nothing more than a few old papers and familylore affected by a few generations of retellings to rely on.And perhaps rely a bit on my gut instincts bred by the DNA we share.
