India is fortunate to be in sunbelt for almost the entire year. It should be leading from the front on Solar and Wind turbines instead of dwindling and rare nuclear materials.

A Russia would certainly be interested!

Not unless there is a referendum in the UK from NATO withdrawal as well.

RoyG Unfortunately, neither options are viable. Gold cannot be monetised. There is a trust deficit about this. SDR was a option according to Robert Triffin (who designed it) when there was no alternative to the dollar. Today there is a very viable alternative to the dollar - The Euro. Hahaha, nothi...

Mango man question to Gurus.. Why Chinese action of devaluating currency is seen a positive step towards making it more free-market-friendly currency (less govt control)? I do not quite understand. Wasn't RMB actually significantly undervalued already?? And if this is correct then shouldn't it be g...

WoW both Russia and Swiss hold a very large reserve portion of Gold .....The Russian Government buys out 90 % of Gold produced locally and they have worlds 2nd largest Gold Reserves. Do I have to teach you how to read Graphs? That chart shows Russia's gold reserves is about 2.5% of its GDP. Switzer...

http://blog.thomsonreuters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/gold-holdings.jpg Look at the graph above. What do you see? All the economies have gold reserves less than 6% of GDP and less than 6% of their Debt as percentage of GDP. What does that tell you? Gold is inconvenient and a dinosaur. Gold shou...

Can any economic guru tell us what does this mean, cannot Scotland choose Euro? Sure, if they want to meet euro guidelines, procedures, asset requirements, etc. There is no magic wand. Scotland still has to sell bonds to finance their government and raise taxes to pay for it. Scotland would be bett...

It definitely will not sustain growth because it's a sink of capital. However one should ask, is it the people's job to be sacrifice explicitly in the face of chronic ~10% price inflation, without attendant robust economic growth, job security or rapid development in the quality of life ? No, the p...

member_26147

DhruvP: you're absolutely correct about the issue with gold holdings. However the fundamental reason is that India has had chronically high inflation, while lacking either a concerted attempt to minimize inflation, or a credible inflation indexed treasury paper. If GoI demonstrates the ability to m...

Holding government debt with tax savings and percentage return is still better than the cyclical currency devaluation problem India is facing due to gold hoarding. And most of US debt is still held by Americans contrary to popular belief. People keep buying gold -> no investment by savers giving cap...

member_26147

Ah, but you see the price of gold is undervalued according to our fellow posters. That's a can't lose proposition to them. Factor in the coming hyperinflation due to the over printing of the dollar and they will be sitting pretty with their physical gold stowed away. Then they will be like the ants...

I'm not sure China is alone in fudging numbers though. US GDP calculation methodology has been 'revised' time and again to keep it debt-to-GDP ratio down. UK's government debt befuddles its own citizens and can only be guessed!

HOT POTATO!

member_26147

China, I think is now realizing that the only way to pay down debt that is plaguing every country is to default or debase the currency. China thus is taking on debt internally to get as much infrastructure development done as possible before this happens.

As retail investors we need to understand that buying gold is the easiest way to hedge our portfolios against rupee depreciation, inflation and to introduce global diversification—but this should not be more than 5-10% of the overall portfolio. Equities remain the best inflation hedge over the long...

India's gold imports surged in May and gold and oil imports are one of the driving factors behind India's current account deficit — when the value of imports exceeds that of exports. And the current account deficit can hurt economic growth. CAD reached a record high of 6.7% of GDP in the last quart...

Government wrangling against credit agencies have been going on for a long time. These agencies kow-tow to the US govt and if they don't they get sued. S&P was sued for billions of dollars in 2013 because they downgraded US sovereign bonds from AAA to AA+. Moodys and Fitch were also 'sued' but t...

If you look at the last 12 years, its been nothing but debt layered upon debt. Post-2008, the only thing pushing up the markets is more debt, money printing, interest rate surpressing and stock market rigging - the latter which the federal reserve itself admits to. One thing is for certain, the vas...

All this name calling doesn't help the discussion. Nitish is doing this because in his calculation he thinks he would lose Bihar. Apparently everyone thinks the majority can always be taken for a ride and appeasing minorities is their only goal. When the majority swings, it will swing in full force.
