Housing prices are getting ready to crash (at least in the USA), and mortgage rates are rising.  So real estate is not a good investment right now.  People like to put their money into something tangible, and since real estate is not good any more (stocks are out of the question - too unstable and people don't trust corporations), metals are the next best thing.  We're facing heavy inflation here, and gold and other precious metals tend to go up in real value in such circumstances.  Actually, prices, in real dollars adjusted for inflation are still quite low, historically speaking.  So many are buying now, which drives up the price.  Furthermore, many industrial uses for metals are increasing, especially in China.

It's a comodity that's traded on a comodities market. Supply and demand determine the price each month which is why it goes up and down.

Basically, people lost confidence in the stock market and began selling their stocks, all of the selling led to lower prices of stocks, that led to lower confidence and more selling.  More info here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Crash_of_1929

True.  If the Aus$ is going to go down in value, then Austrailia needs to be pay higher interest rates to make up for the loss in value of its currency.

Your question is not clear any way I will try to tell you some thing.\n\nExample:\nIf you have purchased 200 share of face value of Rs.10/- paid @ Rs.596 per share on 1.1.2006 and if the share were splited to Rs.1/- paid on 1.6.2006, then your 200 shares will become 2000 shares on 1.6.2006 and the value of each share will become Rs.596/10= Rs.59.60 per share.  The date of purchase will remain same for all shares 1.1.2006 and not 1.6.2006. The date of actual purchase of 200 shares will apply for all 2000 shares.  O.K ????????

Actively managed funds lose their shine as the market matures and hence outperforming broader market consistently for a long period is nearly impossible.\n\nAs far as India is concerned only around 100-300 stocks are well researched and actively traded in the market and hence provide liquidity.  Fund houses which go beyond these stocks can always pick-up winners and hence beat the market index.  Just look at the how a large cap fund FT India Bluechip fund can better the Sensex index by huge margin.  An yet to mature market like India will always offer better opportunities for the fund manager for the next 10-15 years.\n\nETFs and Index funds have low expense ratios and that is plus point.  But in the diversified funds vs ETF/Index funds they are not mutually exclusive and hence they can compliment any investor portfolio.\n\nGood luck.

Most people refinanced their homes to get out of credit card debt.  Gold only went up because of inflation.  If inflation drops, then gold prices will drop as well.

It is falling, along with the rest of the market today.  But, good news is, it is falling with lower than average daily volume.  Volume is tracking 16% below normal today.  It is OK for stocks to drop on lower volume.  When they drop on higher volume is when you should be nervous.\n\nToday, the possibility of more rate hikes down the road and higher oil prices gave sellers their ammunition in the overall markets.

Not much difference here today.  What they did not spend today they either spent yesterday or will spend tomorrow.  So as you see it will not have an effect on our economy.  Whether you buy it today or tomorrow you still have to have what you need to live, so you will buy it .

When other things become unstable e.g. the US dollar, oil prices etc. people tend to go back to good old gold.

There are indexes representing big companies (top 500, etc) but nothing representing all stock market equity in the world.  As it happens the US is approx 25% of world capitalisation.

the world is headed for a crisis- gold has an established history of being valuable in and of itself, so people switch from currency to gold if they feel that the currencies are unstable. it also means that people who understand market forces are seeing "other than hard value" commodities are a very high risk as they are "over" valued- and can't stay that way- also, the total debt of the US is staggering- and therefore what is there to back up the dollar? it's value is entirely theoretical- and won't stand in a crunch- so, buy gold, silver- have something on hand with real value.
