http://www.financialexpress.com/news/silver-replaces-gold-as-new-investment-avenue/588846/0 Ahmedabad:  It's not gold, but silver which is glittering these days as an ideal investment option for those who don't want to invest in stocks or mutual funds. The metal, often considered gold's poor cousin, which never succeeded in grabbing the attention of retail investors in the past due to stagnant prices, is now being viewed as an emerging investment option soon after it crossed the level of Rs 23,000 per kg in the recent past. Silver has caught the fancy of youngsters and working women, who are finding it a lucrative investment option. According to Hiren Chowkshi, proprietor of city-based Hiren Chowkshi jewellers, "When the market was booming, a large number of young investors and women had entered the market.

The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) www.gata.org is an organization dedicated to investigating and proving its allegation that the quantity of gold held and traded by the world's central banks, international bullion banks and futures exchanges is significantly overstated and that a scheme analogous to the defunct London Gold Pool keeps the price of gold artificially low. On March 23, 2010, London gold trader Andrew Maguire lent new credence to GATA's allegations by producing a series of e-mail exchanges between himself and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). In an e-mail dated February 3, 2010, he correctly predicted specific price manipulations that would take place two days later, on February 5, 2010. Shortly thereafter, GATA was invited to testify at a CFTC hearing on position limits.[9] At the March 25, 2010 hearing, GATA was able to present its allegations for the first time. During the hearing, a former Goldman Sachs trader, Jeffrey Christian, re...

With the shifting sands of time, it has evolved as an important asset class. From barter trade to jewellery investment and now paper gold, the sheen continues and its universal appeal is intact. Gold has proven to be a safe-haven investment option not only because of it being a hedge against inflation but also due to its low correlation with other asset classes such as equity and debt. Gold has prov...
