Gold is a question of faith

All said and done, investing in gold is a question of faith. You either have it or you dont have it.

Investing in gold is believing that there is a perfect value system, a system that is above all kings, knights or barons. A system of justice, where no body will be able to con or short-change anybody at the paying to their due credit.

Investing in gold is, believing in the circle of life. The fact that day turn into night, and night turns into day. The happiness is followed by sorrows and sorrows by happiness.

Investing in gold is believing in the honest efforts of innumerable population will not be conned for few pieces of paper, that looses or gains its value on the whims and fancies of few people. Investing in gold believes that life is fair. That every effort that has been put in will be rewarded equally and in equal measure.

Investing in gold is believing in "what you sow is what you reap". You can’t reap luxuries of lifetime by doing nothing, while someone toils hard for few bits of luxuries, that he is soon deprived of.

You will not be a gold bug unless you believe. You wont be one, unless you are paranoid of the system which can take down happiness of you and your loved ones and cause them immense harm. As all beliefs, it is 'God' for some and 'pagan' for some. And just like religious beliefs it is a worthy safety net, for all.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Monetary inflation, Spiritual devaluation

Its been sometime I have been trying to make some special people understand the evils of inflation. Inflation is an abstract subject most of us dont know about, let alone understand the technicalities amidst jargons. I have in my previous post have briefly touched the social part of inflation but never in a concentrated way. I understand what my friends mean when they say "tell me in layman’s language." It is not a heartening sign, that they avoid technicalities. But it could well be that knowing where they stand, their role and understanding the social changes in the light of inflation may motivate them to understand the term "inflation." This is just to highlight the brief points. First and the foremost, is there any link between inflation numbers and society. Yes. The relation is same as the relation between society and money. What is money? Money is an easy means of exchange. If I am selling my horses to a pig-farmer and I am not interested in taking pigs in ret...

Unprecedented External Demand Shock Underway

India’s export growth averaged 24.8% over the last three years, driven by strong global growth. However, over the last three months, export growth has decelerated sharply. While until recently the strong demand from emerging markets including Latin America, Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa ensured that export growth remained healthy, over the last three months disruptions in the macro environment of these economies have been evident. Apart from weakening demand, exports have also been affected by the lack of availability of foreign trade credit and inventory liquidation. India’s exports declined by 12.1%Y in October 2008 compared with 10.4% in September and 26.9% in August. While we expect some improvement in the second half of 2009, exports are likely to be unusually weak over the next six months. We now expect exports to decline by 5.3%Y in 2009 compared with 12.7% in 2008 (estimated) and 23.1% in 2007 Excerpt source
