Performance of Gold/Silver ETF and Physical Gold/Silver

 

Dear Fellow Investors,

 

Namaste! Investments and life are two very simple matters. However, a lot of efforts are made to make them easy. Speed and Easiness are the two most important parameters in today’s world for success. You call Zepto and your things are delivered in 10 minutes. You call Swiggy/Zomato and your food is delivered. The same thing is coming in the investment field also. You want Gold and Silver – just click on the mobile and buy Gold and Silver ETFs and they will be credited to your demat account next day.

 

The biggest scam in the HISTORY – To make people SLAVE: - 

 

Apparently there is no trading of GULAM nowadays because all are made GULAM. The top people have systematically taken away the power from the people. I know it will hurt the EGO of well-educated readers. Let us see RANDOM events.

 

1.  About 100 years back we had SILVER COINS and they were in our home. We had money also and precious metal also. 

2.  Then came the banking system. They convinced us that it is easy to have money in the bank so you don’t have to take care of the same. What’s more – banks will give you the interest. 

3.  They converted Silver coins to Copper / Brass and Steel over a period of time. Then came the paper notes. Now, you have money but it’s useless in case of DEMONETISATION. Previously – you had precious metal left in your home – in case the coin goes out of circulation. 

4.  Then came the DIGITAL MONEY PAYMENT SYSTEM. People are so happy doing transactions at the click of the button on their mobile. India has the highest UPI payment transactions in the world. 

5.  Now, the time has come for CRYPTOS. Pure digital currency. 

6.  The same ways we used to have our gold and silver utensils / jewellery / bars in our home but nowadays – professionals are advising the ETFS. 

 

The end effects of the above is – your money has gone to the top industrialists and they have become billionaires and you are still in the middle class. 

 

In short, our money is not in our hands today. Leaders like MODI JI have done the demonetisation two times and whatever little money was left in the home – became USELESS immediately. Don’t you think we are SLAVES and living life on the whims and fancies of the top guys. 

 

Now let me share the performance of the ETFs: - 

 

There is so much hype for the gold/silver ETFs / Gold bonds that I just checked the performance of the same with the physical.

 

Gold ETF V/s. Physical Gold: - 

 

Gold bees ( now Nippon Gold ETF) was Rs.45.61 per unit on 2/11/2020. Yesterday it was Rs.99.22 per unit. Up by 117%. 

 

Gold physical was Rs. 49960 per 10 grams on 1/11/2020. Yesterday it was Rs.124000 per 10 grams. Up by 148%. 

 

The difference between Gold physical price and Gold ETF was 9% ( 49.96/45.61) on 1/11/2020. It means Gold Physical was 9% up in 2020. Today it is 25%. (124/99.22). The difference has gone to the FUND MANAGEMENT houses!! They made a 25% profit at your cost. You enjoyed the EASINESS of keeping the GOLD and they took pain and made the money.   

 

Silver ETF V/s. Physical Silver : - 

 

Silver Etfs came in 2022. On 7^th Feb Silver bees ( Nippon Silver ETF) was Rs.60 on 7^thFeb 2022. It was Rs.143.67 yesterday. 139% up. 

 

Silver physical was Rs.61734 per kg on 7^th Feb 2022. Yesterday it was Rs.156000 per kg. 155% up. 

 

The difference between Silver Physical price and Etf was 3% in 2022. Today it is 9%. So, they made a 9% gain from you for giving ease of holding SILVER.

 

What NEXT? 

 

There is no RIGHT way to do WRONG things. There is nothing EASY in life and investments. Everything is SIMPLE. There is no way to have PLEASURE without PAIN. Those who believe that they can have pleasure without pain are living in illusion.

 

It's your money and your life. Make it SIMPLE living and High Thinking or EASY living and Complicated Thinking. 

 

Your right decision today will decide your destiny for you and your coming generations.
