Gold vs. stock market debate

Suppose you are in an ancient era. You are living a primitive man's life. You don't have a wheel or fire. Let's analyse two opinions. One is to start a business in which you conduct research, develop new products, and create something that you can use to make your life easier. second I will give you gold and sleep with that. which one do you choose?

    Let's suppose you had invested in businesses (stock market) so they could create new products, and employment, and reduce poverty through new production. For example, suppose you first invested in Pidilite and they used your funds to build a new fevistick. so you can use it for bonding. Second, if you invest in ultra-tech cement, then they will build new plants and increase capacity. From that, we can build new houses which can be used by people to make life easier or more comfortable.

   Assume you had made a gold investment. From that, you can build new ornaments which can be used on occasions. That's it. Now you can say, "Then why not make gold worthless?" But when you don't have any business to build something, then you can put your money where it can be safe from inflation. If there is anyone who can say that gold is a good investment, then I am thinking, why not Mukesh Ambani buy gold and sleep? 

    In the barter system, we had to make currency for value things. As a human being, I assume making other people's lives more comfortable is the best karma that we can do. If you value gold more than any human being's good life, then I am confused.

Chemcrux Enterprises

Rural areas offer a more favorable environment compared to metropolitan cities. During my second wave of COVID vacation, I had the opportunity to spend time in my hometown and I discovered that it was a source of great inspiration and ideas. Although I have always been intrigued by stock market books, most of the ones I came across were from Western countries. This led me to search for books specifically focused on the Indian stock market, and that's when I came across an incredible book titled "How to Avoid Loss and Earn Consistently in the Stock Market" by Prasenjit Paul. I read the entire book during my journey from my hometown to Ankleshwar and upon finishing it, I was deeply moved by his story. While I generally have an independent mindset when it comes to my investments, I find myself giving a second thought to stocks recommended by individuals like Prasenjit Paul.

FAANG

  This is a popular short name for the world's largest companies (F=facebook, A=Apple, A=Amazon, N=Netflix, G=google). I believe that they are not providing us basic needs in life. If we stay away from that, then we can save a lot of money, time, and attention, and, more importantly, we can save our economy.                 Facebook is  much more costly as attention and time. Amazon is costly as extra shopping or marketing. Google is costly as retained knowledge. and Apple is expensive for our wallets. Netflix can be expensive at time .
