I
do not consider it too negative to say that one must actually not sell the old
gold. Old gold is collected from many years by most of us and it is actually
like a treasure. Value of gold has increased over the years as we all know, I
will not be going into figures as you can always search them up online. But
having a gold in your locker may give you the power that you have the back up
for your dreams to pursue. It is the hidden power which is actually your wealth
over the period.
Sometimes
we have the reason to sell it due to some circumstances about our current
situation which is completely okay and that is the reason to own such gold. But
I strongly recommend to assess the situation about your circumstances.
Sometimes people just sell it that it came to them in heritance and they have
not spend or actually invested anything in it. They think that all that came
from it is profit. Also the other situation is they bought it for X amount and
now they are getting some percentage on top of it. They will sell it for the
reason that they have earned X amount on top of the investment. This is
completely right but now it is very important to assess where the money is
going, is it going to any other investment or is being spent. Most cases the
money is going for gratification. One must not spend the investment and old
gold weather inherited or bought by yourself long time back is the investment
and nothing else.
Most fine jewellery you buy from various
sources is always something that gives you more return that anything else. I
especially compare to extra clothes you buy, gazettes that you buy, high end
holidays that you spend for etc. You normally do not get much high return or
sometimes zero on the most of this. They are very important to our daily life
but assessing the situation that how much do we spend compared to investment is
very important.
The
investment in gold or any other investment is the confidence - Please read this
story
A business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out.
Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on
the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company
from bankruptcy.
Suddenly an old man appeared before
him.
“I can see that something is troubling
you,” he said.
After listening to the executive’s
woes, the old man said,
“I believe I can help you.”
He asked the man his name, wrote out a
check, and pushed it into his hand saying,
“Take this money. Meet me here exactly
one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time.”
Then he turned and disappeared as
quickly as he had come.
The business executive saw in his hand
a check/cheque for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the
richest men in the world!
“I can erase my money worries in an
instant!”
He realized. But instead, the
executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was
there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he
thought.
With renewed optimism, he negotiated
better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within
a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
Exactly one year later, he returned to
the park with the uncashed check.
At the agreed-upon time, the old man
appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share
his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
“I’m so glad I caught him!” she cried.
“I hope he hasn’t been bothering you.
He’s always escaping from the rest home and telling people he’s John D.
Rockefeller.”
And she led the old man away by the
arm.
The astonished executive just stood
there, stunned. All year long he’d been wheeling and dealing, buying and
selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.
Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t
the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his
newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went
after.

This
is not the investment advise but it is all about stopping gratification and
being more wise than what we are and how we spend. You are solely responsible
for all your decision.
