I am one of those that watch a lot of TV so I am quite traditional in it, although I like the streaming option too still I prefer TV and you know we see different Advertisements and these days I am seeing the advertisement about Gold and we can buy Gold online through Apps available in India and in this case it was from Phone Pe and was advertised by Amir Khan one of the finest actors of Bollywood.
I don't have so much money so not sure if I can invest in Gold or any other thing at this moment.
Do You feel Investing In Gold is Worth? Have you tried Any sort of Investment like in Real Estate or Stock Market or any other?

Investment in gold is i believe the best way to spend your money..but risks increases if too much gold is kept at home..and banks charges too much for keeping it.. these days spending in online gold has been in trend alot but still i believe one should research properly before spending their money in such sites as there might be any scam involved or a site/online company may shut down unexpectedly

I too have been reading about digital gold and one can buy as little as one rupee worth.

@Butterfingers You can test the ground with that purchase and see if that rupee purchase has increased in value when selling it.

I don't think buying for such a small amount will be good for me because I wanted to invest a bigger amount and planning to arrange money for it

@Butterfingers normally the gold rates increase every day/month. Yes I do buy some gold in 2-3 months as I know it will be helpful for me in future

Gold has always been a safe investment if you fear that your local currency could lose value. Gold is down 8.20% from the previous year, but still up 33% in the past five years, I would be careful.
Stock market and currencies market was my job.

Gold fluctuations are common, but it’s still a good investment. Buy low, sell high. Our financial advisor invests for us in such things as indexed funds, mutuals, bonds, ETFs, etc. We’ve used him since I began my career and have done very well. Someone else manages our other funds for us. Be careful in how you invest and with whom.

May be because they feel the prices will fall in next months but mostly we see rise during coming festive months

I had that thinking before buying gold , but I was scammed . I just charged it as a bad experience and bad dream . I am also a licensed real estate broker, but in this pandemic , one can hardly get a client. I was able to buy a car out of my big commission in a reality. I have many rockets. I like to have much money in the bank. I am also an insurance broker and enjoyed much big commission. I am a hardworking fellah.
