Stop! Read This Before You Invest in Gold Again
Gold prices surge in crises but remain stagnant for years afterward. Here’s what history tells us:
Big Rallies Bring Massive Gains
- 2001 – 2012: ₹4,300 → ₹31,050 (622% total, 19.4% CAGR)
- 1970 – 1980: ₹184 → ₹1,330 (623% total, 24.5% CAGR)
But Long Stagnation Follows!
- 2012 – 2018: ₹31,050 → ₹31,438 (Just 0.2% CAGR for 6 years!)
- 1980 – 2001: ₹1,330 → ₹4,300 (Only 5.8% CAGR over 21 years!)
- 1990 – 2000: ₹3,200 → ₹4,300 (Barely 3.0% CAGR in 10 years!)
Key Takeaways for Smart Investors
- Gold gives high returns in short bursts but stays flat for years.
- Buying after a rally can lead to years of no returns.
- Diversify with stocks & mutual funds for long-term growth.
Lesson : Gold isn’t a get-rich-quick investment—it moves in cycles! Don’t chase rallies blindly.
